I've been doing lchf for less than a month, and haven't lost much actual weight, but the changes are remarkable. I have much more energy. I don't feel "down" as much. I have more zest for life. I feel smaller, tighter, less puffy or inflammed. My digestion is generally better, but I'm still working to find the ideal meal plan. I don't obsess over when I will eat next and I don't constantly feel the need to snack. I don't get as hungry, and I fill up faster. I'm sleeling deeper (downside is it's really hard to wake up now). I swear I look better overall. It's pretty great, and honestly surprising.12

Isn't that crazy? I have a clavicle. Just holding my breath til I have hip bones again!7 -
I've always said that if I ever find my belly button again is get it pierced! I know it's there, it's just over shadowed by my muffin top! Lol, the day will come!5

This morning I put on an active wear tank top and it fits! Three weeks ago it was quite snug and unforgiving.10

I just put on a pair of shorts that I haven't been able to get on all summer!!!
I mean the button wouldn't reach the other side by like 4in!!!

My spring cleaning is going to be a major wardrobe pruning with the left-overs donated or consigned to the next person who will appreciate them. I call it retail therapy with a mission!
Yep.... finding the Anne Klein, Gucci, Prada, etc in tiny sizes at the resale thrift store, and they fit! My clothes closet is SERIOUSLY overstuffed, just because I can find awesome clothes for very inexpensive prices that most people can't fit into, BWAHAHAHAH!
Also not borrowing my husband's 32" jeans anymore.... (when I was at my heaviest - that was a wake up call)4 -
I started out at over 300 lbs and I'm only 9 weeks in... I haven't lost a ton of weight, but I have PCOS and an old SI joint injury, and I'm already starting to see huge improvements to my quality of life after losing just over 14 lbs eating Keto-style...
I'm WALKING without my SI joint injury flaring up!! It's been SIX YEARS since I've been able to do any kind of regular exercise... I'm getting my mobility back, people... Last week I set my fitbit goal to 1500 steps (10-15 min daily walk) and made my goal 6 out of 7 days. This week I'm up to 2000 steps. I could weep, this makes me so happy!!
I'm SLEEPING normally for the first time since puberty!! I'm 40, so that's 27 years of insomnia... long, exhausting, irritable years. I tried EVERYTHING (or so I thought!!) and just couldn't fall asleep on my own... Now I'm sleepy by 10:30 PM, I fall asleep right away, and sleep soundly till around 7:30-8:30 AM. I'm waking up feeling refreshed and energized instead of groggy and foggy headed. I no longer crave sleeping in...17 -
I intentionally left the house in a tank top today, for the first time, and felt confident.16

Spent one week with family members eating SAD and managed to stay within my carb level: a miracle!!
Also my Yahoo alerts brought up an article today stating LCHF is the diet Harvard researchers have found to be the best if you wish to lose weight. We at this forum already knew that (could have asked us?) but it was good to see it out there for the rest of the public to read!8 -
I went out yesterday to the beach and met up with some people I haven't seen for a month and they all commented how well I was looking, and mentioned my skin was looking fantastic - which is awesome as I have always struggled with dry skin, but since doing ZC I have noticed I haven't had dry skin on my face much at all and its looking a lot clearer and nicer so it was fantastic for someone else to mention it too. They also commented on my weight loss and said I looked so much slimmer - made me feel fantastic as its so good that its being noticed now16

So gals you enjoyed your trip to the beach!!
Bonus with the compliments! I completely understand that inside cheerleader when you get a compliment on something you've been working on. Write the moment down and stash it in your purse or somewhere you can pull it back out when you are feeling discouraged!!5 -
Some teachers at work who haven't seen me for a month commented on how much weight I've lost (even though its only been a couple of pounds).8

My husband told me this morning that I don't snore anymore, haha!11

Just spent 10 days with my "skinny" side of the family. It was no problem at all turning down every treat and treasure imaginable. They kept commenting on what great will power I have (I don't). Just no cravings.
Also, I was the only one NOT on medications.10 -
I'm back to lifting heavy ( heavy for me at least) Doing strong lifts 5x5. I'm squatting 95 and dead lifting 100 which is right around my own body weight( PS I'm a shorty under 5ft) . Excited to get my arms stronger!5

I found 2 bags of sugar free candy that I bought at some point in the beginning of my Keto life probably about a year ago. They were almost completely full and expired. Lol
My old candy addict self can't even finish 1 bag of sugar free candy in a year when I used to eat almost a movie theater sized box of the full sugar kind a day!
Even though they "technically" fit my carb plan, I've beaten the sweet addiction so well that I just don't want them.16 -
Totally not diet related, but health related. I started going to therapy again. Had my second session today, and actually allowed myself to cry. That's enormous for me. Like so astronomically unlike myself.
I look forward to making sure my mind is just as healthy as my body is gradually becoming.22
