Hi! This is really how it should be:
Protien: Goal to try to meet!
Carbs: Don't go pass your allotted amount
Fat: Eat to satiety. You do not have to "meet" fat goals. If you are hungry, eat some fat. If you are not hungry, don't eat.
Its pretty simple if we think about it. Good luck and welcome to Lchf!4 -

Well, since I've not posted this anywhere previously, I'll start here.
6/22- 155.1
6/29- 152.3
Still dropping faster than I'd like, even after pushing the kcals up to 1700 per day, and having a couple of notably higher days during food prep.
6/29 - 152.3
7/6 - 151.2
Going to let it ride for one more week and adjust to slow down as needed.
7/6 - 151.2
7/13 - 151.9
About what I was hoping to see this week, though well within a margin of error either way. Going to see how the trend runs over the next two months, making slight adjustments every couple of weeks.
7/13 - 151.9
7/20 - 151.5
Getting pretty static, and I'm seeing about what I would expect. Going to hold this caloric level (1700) for another couple of weeks and see how it runs.
7/20 - 151.5
7/27 - 151.2
Still running well within the expected range, and seeing extremely low variance during daily weigh-ins.
7/27 - 151.2
8/3 - 150.1
Welp, time to average and adjust upward.
8/3 - 150.1
8/10 - 154.0
Going from completely sedentary to lifting six times per week, and being more active outside of that than I have ever been, is definitely having a clear impact on weight fluctuation. Feels good though. Looking forward to seeing how the upward trend actually runs, now that I am running a surplus.
8/10 - 154.0
8/17 - 155.4
Seen all manner of weight fluctuation over this past week, from a high of 158.4 (yesterday), to a low of 152.9. It doesn't surprise me, given the change from doing nothing, to lifting (or some form of resistance training) every day for the last week and a half or so. Already starting to notice a lot of musculature being brought back to life, from it's previously unused state. Going to run for another couple of weeks before I bother photo updating my bulk thread though.
8/17 - 155.4
8/24 - 158.5
Continuing with the pretty rapid fluctuations and swings, though I am seeing a defined upward trend. Going for a couple of more weeks before tinkering with anything. Lifts are up, measurements are acceptable, and calipers haven't changed much. I'll take it, for now.
8/24 - 158.5
8/31 - 158.1
Weight has started to stabilize a bit. I should be able to get a better grasp on things from here forward. Still going to mostly be watching the tape, calipers, and my emerging abdominals.4 -
... and my emerging abdominals.
I think this may be my favorite thing I've read all day.

I'm a day late, but like this idea. I'm on day 4 and pleasantly surprised that it hasn't been as bad as I had thought it would be. I'm following the old Atkins book.

I'm not going to lie, I thought about not posting this week's weigh in. But, my journey is bound to have some ups and downs and I think it's important to be honest to myself about that. My brother got married on Saturday and I definitely fell off the wagon. Which led me to being off for the rest of the weekend. I was about 90% back to my WOE (except for a smore around a campfire) on Monday, then completely back to plan yesterday. Couple that with starting shark week and a gain was pretty much inevitable. I'm not concerned. Still in my "skinny jeans". What I did learn over this weekend was that I definitely feel crappier. I'm moody, I'm tired, my digestion is poor. I can't wait to be back to keto levels. I'm sure my workout in the gym will help burn the rest of those stored carbs off.5 -

CW 179.6 (I usually round up to the nearest pound, but getting into the 170's gets me below where I was when I played 9th grade football - in 1985!)
GW 175
I had a coworker tell me I was a genius yesterday. I told her about keto last week. She comes in first thing in the morning telling me she is down 5 lbs in 3 days and she isn't even hungry and doesn't miss the carbs at all. I did caution her that much of that was probably water to start and to keep up her electrolytes, but she was super stoked to show me what she had packed for lunch and snack and tell me about her awesome dinner the night before. I think she is on board.9 -
I'm up 2 lbs over last week, but I've been nailing the workouts so I'm betting it's just water and will come off SOON!3

@Kimo159 - Don't sweat a bad week here and there. It will happen. You are absolutely doing the right thing by posting even though it was a gain. At least for me, that is the type of thing that gets me motivated. Some people love to win. I hate to lose/fail. It makes my determination level skyrocket. I expect you will have a great week this week.1

9/7 - 162.5
Weight has stabilized at this exact point for the last few days, after a pretty strong falloff following my last refeed. This is likely the set point where I can finally start judging how intake is affecting weight, while also watching composition via tape and calipers.1 -

Good morning!!
SW 251.8
Last Week 192.4
Today 191.6 (Down 60 lbs!!!!!)
My goal is to be down to 175 by Thanksgiving, that means I have 12 weeks to lose 16.6lbs. I think that's very do-able. I hope everyone is having a Happy Hump Day!!
Today I am at 196.4lbs, up a little more than 5 lbs. I know I ate way to much in general and went way over my carbs on Sunday and Monday. I have been back on track since yesterday and should see things starting to move back down by tomorrow. I'm sure it will take several days since there is likely a little fat gained as well as water weight. Now I have 11 weeks to lose 21.4 lbs, still doable and I'm going to do it.3 -

Thanks! I'm such a perfectionist and have been working on being more kind to myself when I'm less than perfect. Congrats on being in the 170's!! Here's to this next week and us killin it!Good morning!!

You'll probably be amazed at how fast the 5 lbs comes back down. I think much more of it is water than you think. You got this!2 -
Lost 1.8kg since I last posted here. not sure how much is water. Lol3
