    No loss, but no gain! Thankful for Thanksgiving and morning Turkey Trot! Kept me from gaining I think....
    recap: joined late -- CW 133 -- 3 lbs. down, 11 to go... (started at 152 in August)

    And congrats to all who are losing!

    R.I.P the list. It was nice while we had it :( how was It so hard for people to just update their own stats on the list?

    >.< now i see why so many have closed groups for challenges.

    I hope you guys made it through thanks giving, we're getting close and so many of you are doing so well :D

    8 down 6 to go.

    I started the ketogenic diet in August and I am down 54 pounds. I am going to start being more diligent with tracking because I definitely lost more that way. Best of luck to all of you!

    Hi,
    - Keep you total Carbs under 40 grams a day.
    - Net carbs* less than 30g (net Carbs = Total Carbs - Fiber)
    *Note on UK packaging the fiber is already subtracted from the carbs shown on the label so its only fresh food / none labelled foods you subtract the fiber from the total carb to get net carbs. If a US food label you do subtract the fiber on the label. Not sure about other countries.
    - Depends on your amount of exercise but keep protein around 75 - 100g
    - Remaining calories from good quality fats

    FATS
    Grass fed meats,
    Butter from grass fed cows if you can get it (grass fed = more CLA content which promotes fat burning)
    Coconut oil,
    Heavy Cream 40%+ Fat,
    Crème Fraîche 30%+ fat,
    Cream cheese,
    Full at cheese (check carbs less that <1 - 2g per 100g some softer cheeses have more sugar / carbs) too much cheese can adversely affect some people I keep my consumption o cheese under 55g per day,
    Kippers in rapeseed oil,
    Mackerel in olive oil,
    Olives,
    Olive oil,
    Black Coffee,
    Bullet proof coffee,
    Avocados
    Spinach,
    Broccoli, two cups or handfuls of greens a day),
    Cauliflower
    Peanut Butter,
    Limited amount o nuts and seeds (go or the ones with lower carbs, i.e Almonds rather than cashews.)
    Eggs
    Bacon
    Mushrooms

    One of favorite treats is a homemade mini peanut butter cheesecake, using Crème Fraîche, cream cheese, and peanut butter. Bacon & egg for breakfast is good with some butter fried mushrooms, like to have Kippers with a touch of butter once a week.

    I have to say, I weighed daily through all of my weight loss, and I'm finding it really frustrating having a weigh-in day! I don't know how people cope! I suppose you get used to it. I'm still weighing daily for my own information, but I'm not recording it for the challenge, as we have a weigh-in on Monday. Of course, with the usual Christmas celebrations, I'm four pounds up from where I was earlier in the week! Which makes it a one pound gain from last week.

    So I'm now back to 6 pounds lost, 8 pounds to lose, 14 pounds goal.
    I'm hoping that four pounds comes back off over the next week!

    I don't really want to log this as I know it's not a real loss...I've got tonsillitis and not eaten for three days. But it puts me 6lbs down from last week.

    Beat my goal. I only had two pounds to go and I am down 6. So 18 pounds down total during this challenge. Now, in fairness, I had an anaphylactic reaction and was in the hospital on a ventilator for three days, but that was a week ago and I have been back to my keto eating for 5 days I am still down in weight. I was amazed that the hospital was willing to work with my way of eating.

    Well done, Hawkmancody, Pwittbrod146 and BBturner67, on reaching your goal! And to DietVanilla and Sarahcassidy, great losses! And Twitsend too, but I just hope you're feeling better now.

    I still haven't lost the four pounds I gained from ONE night out the weekend before last, but I have lost three of them.

    So 9 pounds down, 5 to go.

    I know that I'm not going to make it, but I knew that when I started - and I started late too, so there wasn't really time. But it has been great having something to aspire to!

    0.4 lbs off in the last week, making a total of 16.3 lbs off for the challenge, loss slowing right down. Every little bit is a bonus an a extra little buffer to help not worry about a few extra calories over the holiday period. Still plan to be good over Christmas but not strict... enjoy in moderation
    Goal 16lbs      16.3 lbs lost      XMAS Eve Goal EXCEEDED (just)

    Well done to everyone on their achievements.
