I'm on board! had success with Lazy Keto in 2016 and got down to rough goal weight and then decided to forget all that I knew.
*2008 RNY-er with 130lbs lost- but a regain of 30 lbs. (which may not seem like a lot, but it's ALL in my midsection I swear!)
So back again I go, going to make a lifestyle change to keep it off this time!
Starting weight (1/15) 207
Current Weight (1/19) 201
Goal weight: 170/175

That means I am in good headspace and can/should be able to focus on hitting goal again. I was at/close to goal last feb when my thyroid went wacky and I gained and health suffered. So, my goal is IF 5 days/week, keto all the time, and one weekend day up to 50gm net carbs as opposed to 20/day.
Current weight:164lbs
Goal for end of Jan: 158lbs
End goal: 135-145lbs, I am not sure yet.
So, as of today I finally dropped some H2O!!
Current 161.8lbs.
Approx 4lbs to go for goal of the month!
Also, I am hoping(waiting on kids passports) to leave on a family vacay to Cuba on feb 9th, so I have a goal of not straying off food plan until then and hitting 155lbs.1 -
I'm going to take the 2 lb drop this week and trust that if I just keep doing what I'm doing it's all going to work out just fine!!
CW 158
Happy Friday!!1 -
Staying keto but no progress otherwise. Weight keeps creeping up. Something is bloating me. The only major change is recipes with psyllium husk in it. Kinda losing motivation.0

Hy'all, what have you been up to? Are you still on Keto? Have you become fat adapted? How much have you lost?
Lost 2 pounds this week. My loss has slowed down, guessing the water weight is out. Hoping to add exercise next week.

1/15/17: 262.9
1/22/17: 259.5
Down 3.4lbs this week, 17.1 total for the month! I've been sticking pretty close to my carb and calorie limits all this time, though there are days where I go a little bit over. Not sure if I'm fat adapted, but it's only been 3 weeks. I have days where I have more energy than usual and days where I'm more fatigued.
Great job @nicee247!

Weight on 1/1: 179.2 lbs
Today, 1/22: 170.0 lbs
Still trying to keep it under 40g of carbs. Although, I might have had too many veggie pakoras at the Indian buffet on Friday. Does anyone know if those things are held together with carbs? I must have had 10 of 'em.

Getting well seated on my carnivore wagon has been good for me. Belly has had not one day of discomfort or bloating and though I do want to lose more bodyfat and I figure some of that will eventually show up as scale weight loss, I try not to focus on that. But, I have had movement on the scale this month.
From 141.5 to 139.9. I can't say I'm not happy to see that!3 -

Expected weight by end of January 89.9kg (I'm the worlds slowest loser).
We'll see if I'm right
So, weighed in yesterday at 88kg. Seems I've reached my goal for January a week early. Hopefully it stays off and isn't "fake weight loss". I'll post a final weight on the 31st.

Yeah, I believe the batter is made with chickpeas? Which I believe is kind of carby but I'd have to check ... but oh my gosh YUM!! We have a great Indian restaurant here, and it's always amazing.

Sunday was 3 weeks in for me and I'm down 11 pounds! Last week's loss was pretty small, but I was definitely hormonal so that affected it. I'll still take it though. SO close to my January goal!!4

I survived an outing where I could not control the food fairly well today. Carbs were a little higher than I would have liked but I only ate half the soup served to me and bulked up on cheese, sausage, and cream cheese dip.0

I am 2 weeks (and 1 day) into my new keto WOE and I am thrilled to be down 14lbs (from 222 to 208) and about 8inches. I haven't been tempted to cheat. I started "cold turkey" and found I don't miss too much. I am able to have chicken wings when I want to go out and feel full and satisfied after 2 meals a day. I have been successful in keeping my total carbs around 10g per day or less and am trying to expand my keto cooking skills now I have noticed a great change in my body already and my spouse even wants to jump on the keto wagon now! I am 8.5lbs from my first major goal and half way to my ultimate goal. 3

@Scochrane86 Wonderful progress!! Wings are totally one of my go tos when I eat out too. It feels like I'm being naughty but they're a perfect keto meal! 0

yes, it's magical like that.1 -
Last weigh-in day for this month;
Starting weight : 179
Goal weight : 169
Current weight : 160.
Feeling so fulfilled right now.
This challenge was worth it. Gearing up for February.
How have you all been? What are your losses or nonscale victories.1 -
Started end of Oct 168.4 I have been staying under 20 net carbs each day, with the exception of a few days during the holidays and a weekend away. I find that during those times, I gain a few back and it takes about a week to lose what has shown up on the scale. I weighed in this morning at 142.4. I am finding that as long as I focus on getting right back on this WOE once a special occasion is over, I can ease up and not panic. In the past, once I went off plan, I would stay off.
It is really a different mindset now for me, long term WOE.2 -

I peaked 8 days ago at 88kg. The next day I was 89.1. Final weigh in for January 88.4kg. A little disappointed but at least it's a loss.
