Started off last week with my calories continuing to decline so I decided to eat when I wake up just to try and fit in some more calories. Since then I wake up wanting to eat again which can't be a bad thing right? So anyway back up to like 1400 calorie a day average and with that came the dreaded zero loss week!!! Oh no, what do I do now? What should I change? My answer for this week is absolutely nothing. I did lose 6 lbs last week which may have been too much at this point? I dont know I'm not an expert. I feel even more energized with the extra calories. The workouts have gotten easier, added 2 extra exercises per workout and my strength has climbed 10 lbs. per exercise! Well, I am going to switch back to 6 workouts per week because I'm actually enjoying workouts again. Seeing my strength climb and my body change has been hugely motivating the past 11 weeks.

Picture update next week, so there's that to look forward to and stay motivated for right?

Another week of no weight loss, but I'm thinking I have added some muscle and have continued losing fat which is the main goal. Picture update is 4 weeks ago 250 lbs. Today 242 lbs. My calories have been around 1600-1500 since adding breakfast back in.

Week 13. Lost 3 more lbs this week after no change in the scale for 2 weeks. 44 lbs. gone since November 22. Since starting keto I've had about 1 cheat meal per month. Each time I eat a calorie and carb laden meal after breaking the 260 mark the 250 mark and now I broke the 240 mark. So this coming weekend I fully intend to do it again!! Only I'm changing the term to a treat meal because I'm not really cheating if it's planned I think. It's strange to me that some days I feel so much healthier and I can see a huge difference in how I look now compared to 13 weeks ago, then I have days where I feel like I'm not making any progress and am disappointed with how I look. It is a grind every day and not seeing immediate changes daily kind of takes the wind out of my sails. It was definitely tough not seeing any change on the scale for 2 weeks and not freaking out and change everything. I have been on the verge of experimenting with carb cycling just to try something to get the scale moving again. My calories were at 1600 daily the past week after they had steadily declined down to 1200 a day one week, 1091 a day another week. I had to switch from 1 really big meal followed by a snack 3-4 hours later 20/4 IF. To a 16/8 IF just to get the extra calories in. Made some huge jumps to my strength and energy in the gym so I think I will stick with the 16/8 protocol. This was also my second week of 6 weight training sessions per week and I'm really enjoying my time at the gym. It's actually becoming less of a burden and more like a hobby! I started off checking in here as a way of holding myself accountable to sticking with getting healthy. I don't think I need it anymore and think this is going to be my last check in. I will continue to be a lurker on the group and maybe throw in any advice or help I can give if I can.
