    Hanging in there, trying to get back to basics, especially motivation. I'm stablized from the diet swinging for now, and have decided that I need to focus more on positive things about the LC life.

    Having friends is awesome. We went out to a local pond and i wore a swimsuit for the first time in 13 years. I got to use my favorite 13 year old Bain de Soleil tan lotion. I got a little pink skin from being in the sun. I swam. I really didn't even care about my flabby arms and loose skin once I got there, and no one else even cared.
    This was a pretty big deal for me. I think we're going again next week. Who knows? I may wind up having a tan this year!!

    I luv keto.

    That is great, continue to enjoy yourself!!

    Exercise 4 days a week :)
    Carbs below 50 (I usually go below 30 but I'm having some weird hormone fluctuations so I might experiment with a bit higher here and there) :)
    Try to get up a little earlier... :/ Some days were a tiny bit earlier but not enough.
    Take supplements! I keep forgetting them! Total fail... :(

    I lost a little more weight this week.....0.8 lbs. I am now "normal" according to the government BMI chart. Not that I particularly agree with the BMI chart but my doctors will be pleased at least. lol

    Discouraged because I've been up and down all four weeks, resulting in only an average of one pound loss per week on an obese person, but I'll keep on plan.

    I am happy with my results this month. Down 3.2 lbs.
    I finished induction and started upping my carbs, so ended up at 40nc per day level. I did notice that certain carbs did not keep my hunger at bay as well as others when I added them.

    Many thanks to baconslave for these challenges, they can help. I decided to go LCHF because I saw no loses for months eating CICO. I knew something had to change. I love the allowed foods in this way of eating, and most of the time I have 0 hunger between meals, which is a joy unto itself for me.

    Wishing us all great success going forwards on the Journey to weight loss.
