SW-295,CW-274,GW-180. I have lost 22lbs the in 6 weeks, I only weigh every other friday at my local clinic. I was a little disappointed at my last weigh in, only lost 4lbs but i been home alot and work has been slow. I should probly get off my butt and spend less time on here.
I wouldn't be disappointed losing 4 pounds in 2 weeks. I haven't lost 4 pounds in 6 weeks! I have lost like 2 pounds total. I didn't even have the initial water loss like most people. But, I do have some NSV in that I am losing inches (well, more like 1/4 & 1/2 inches) and I feel better!2 -
@PamamaJane I like that you are so well prepared! I need to follow suit and do something similar. However, this will have to happen after we finish the house we're working on and get moved to our new house. In the meantime, I'll just take it one day at a time0

The past couple of days have been going well. I have managed to stay on target.
Logged -yep
Water-yep
Carbs-yep still keeping them under 25 for the most part....occasionally go over to 30
Calories-yep, except for one day I was like 40 over
Exercise-yep
Electrolytes- better. I got some bouillon cubes and that is helping
I have been doing this for 6 weeks. I believe I am keto adapted (never bought the keto strips, cuz the store was out of them) I do feel a lot less hungry overall, although I still have some days that I'm hungrier.

Just have to work on moving my butt a bit more
Interesting! Let me know how it goes.
Though what's driving me kinda crazy is I remember someone posting some research on here that showed fasting is bad for people with certain diagnosis or symptoms and I totally can't remember what. I just remember thinking it applied to me and "Good to know! Guess I shouldn't fast then!" but I haven't been able to figure out what it was and I don't remember if it was something that applied only temporarily or long-term.1 -

Yesterday I ate more carbs than I have I a few months. I don't feel any worse for wear today but am back to better meal planning. Going out to dinner with a friend tonight but being as hot and humid as the forecast says, can't imagine I'll eat more than a salad with steak or chicken and drink plenty of water.1 -

Had just about as perfect a day yesterday than ever and this morning my weight jumped UP 4lbs.

Feeling good today! 3 -
Checking in. I haven't done so in a little while.
Diet has been on point-
Water, no sweat.
Exercise- Ok but could be better.
Weight- well, not moving, and I'm not happy about it.
My birthday was Saturday, there were a few beers over the weekend. Made a low carb chocolate cheesecake as my birthday cake.

I blew through my calories and, worse yet, blew through my carb limit yesterday. It's going to be tough today, too, but the very reason it will be tough is also the very reason this must be done.
Exercise is a no go until this heat wave breaks.
Calories will be easy today provided I leave out the beer and wine.
I've been using my 'puter problems as an excuse not to log, so I've put a pen and paper on the kitchen counter and I WILL LOG there if need be and add to MFP as possible.
Water is a no problem for me lately.
Sodium and potassium is also a no problem since I've gotten into salted bouillon. I drink that stuff because I love that stuff.2 -
For 7/12 My friend cancelled dinner plans, was disappointing and I overindulged on fresh coconut. I feel like crap today. Stayed within my goals though.

Think there must have been something in the water yesterday - I know of quite a few that had trouble with going way over yesterday (me included LOL)1 -
Good Morning:) Today is Day 3 of Fat Fast. Was going to stop today but I will follow through. I just feel like I have the Flu all over again. Been sucking down the salt water but it goes through me so fast. Haven't lost much of any weight which is fine.Just experimenting is all Stay Calm and Keto on! 1

Weight is still up and I can feel and see the water retention in my legs. Ankles and shins are usually very bony and they're pretty squishy right now. Not getting discouraged... just observing.0 -
Day 13

Water
Exercise

well after an awful day of binging yesterday I am totally back on track again today - was much easier to get back on track than usual - think I learnt some important lessons yesterday - although things may look good, they just don't do me any good at all. Have some pain and discomfort back today, my body is not feeling happy at all, so need to keep on track and eat only the foods that make me feel good - I may start to see if there are any things I can add back in at some point but for now, just sticking to Meat, Fish, Cheese and water - I may allow myself a small amount of heavy cream too, as that seemed to keep me satisfied without any problems3 -

Still plugging along with my Keto/Low-Iodine diet. (I will resume logging when done with Low-Iodine chore.) I have been feeling kinda weak the last few days. Making sure to drink lots of liquids, but definitely not enough sodium intake. In great need of some Magnesium and Potassium too! My Radioiodine ablation is today, received shots of Thyrogen the last two days. A little worried of the impact this stuff will have on my body (health-wise): however, quite impressed with its ability to recover from trauma quickly. I have a strong gut feeling a positive mind set plays a powerful roll in that too. All in all I believe my goals for this week were pretty good...
Carbs: almost non-existent
Fats: high
Protein: low --> due to low-iodine
Sodium: could do better...
Water intake: very good
Exercise: still waiting (house completely in disarray- drywall work, painting, and new carpet... craziness!)

No more than 30-50 total carbs daily--- Check
Exercise 4x a week at least---Check
Try a couple new recipes---Check
Make an effort to get up a little earlier---FAIL
Organize my house better---Not so much this week...
My weight was a bit up all week I think from a gluten mishap I had the week before. It's finally almost back to my lowest now. Also I messed up my good shoulder over this week but it too is on the mend. I met my exercise goal but had to work around the shoulder which was a frustration.0 -
