I use the term menopausal to refer to the rest of our lives, rather than "post-menopausal".jonni82014 wrote: »Not menopausal: done. Balancing hormones (bio-identical)as naturally, as possible.

I use Bio-identical as well. Congrats on your health!1 -

Ah the choices we must make along our Journey.
So awesome you have lost the body fat % !!0 -
How would one measure body fat percentage accurately? Is it calculated by an equation or by a machine?0
-
I have a scale that uses bioelectric impedance - it's not a 100% accurate method, but it seems to be very consistent from day to day and it lines up visually with photos of women at 20% on google, so I'm calling it sufficient. Could it be 18 or 22, sure, I'm happy with using a ballpark value.1

thanks for the body fat percentage calculation explanation.0

I'm now officially in the 15 pound range of goal weight. YAY!
Also, having lost about 10 for this summer's goal already, this morning I found I fit into some of my smaller size clothes.
This is such a relief. I've been trying for months and months and months to get back on track.
My plans for this last stretch is just to get to goal.
If I can manage to start up some toning type yoga things to help that horrid skinny fat look...then fine.If it derails me..it can wait.
Planning to regroup from an intense social scene this summer by mostly hanging close to home and getting my inner and outer houses back in order.
In the fall, I'm back out there...new and improved version!
Goal for today...stick to plan. Stay Keto. Sort clothes.Draw something. Call someone. Chill.6 -
elize7, great progress, yea, YOU. I hit my original goal in May, so I understand the clothes sorting for sure.
Wishing you continued success.0 -
I have stalled for three weeks. Trying to stay calm. I think (intellectualIy) I am 10# from my goal weight. Perhaps my body thinks otherwise. Has anyone else considered this?0

Yup! I considered it. I stayed yoyo-ing around 124 since early APRIL!!! I accepted that maybe this was where my body wanted to be, but I didn't let that stop my Keto WoE. Last week I started losing again, and I'm now 16 pounds down from my beginning weight!

Kudos on the weight loss @CRZYFTM. Do you credit it to anything other than being "sick as a dog"? Were you eating while sick? Regardless, TAKE IT!
I was only sick for 24 hours. Thankfully my bug was a fast moving one. I did lose half a pound but I did eat. I just ignored my tummy ache and took pepto. My drop past 124
happened right after I started Massage Therapy school and I started fasting an extra three hours. Instead of eating lunch at noon, I'm waiting til I get home around 3pm and just having a snack before dinner if needed. Some days I don't eat until dinner. I do have coffee with HWC in the morning and I drink 60-90 oz of water. If I'm feeling sluggish I make some chicken broth during a break and drink it. I'll redo my progress pick once I hit 120, but here's my last progress pick at 124 pounds. I'm down two more pounds and and inch in my waist since this picture.

This week i faced some issues head on, and while not perfectly handling them, I held my own. I stayed foodwise on plan all week, but blew it somewhat on alcohol this weekend. Probably due to what I was facing socially, but like I said, I did the best I could at remaining true to myself and acting with integrity. Kudos to me for that. I'm not especially gifted or confident in some social situations, but I'm out there giving it my best shot. Hopefully the alcohol bloat and water weight will be gone quickly, and I can be grateful that at least foodwise, I was able to be keto strong.
Still got about 15 lbs to go by September, if all goes well.
Have an awesome, satisfying Sunday, fitness pals!4 -

Good job! Parties with party food is so hard!!!0 -
For the last week I have been diligent in logging my food intake and liquids. For me that is a very good start to keto2

We went to the farmer's market. New to keto, I was kinda nervous that I would maybe miss my lunch. I did want to keep my carbs low. So many fruits and vegetables. Many sugar laden offerings. I was very surprised when we came across a kiosk selling paleo, keto goodies (paleo pudding and phat bombs) I bought a few snacks. We also saw other kiosks selling spreads (cheese like consistencies) of almond and cashews based. Very tasty. Even the coffee vendor was offering real cream for our coffee. My view is people are really embracing the keto lifestyle or am I finally more aware. I think it's the latter.3

Happy to report that I have gotten to within 10.2 pounds of my goal weight. I'm really hanging in this time and it's paying off nicely. And I'm also handling and juggling some difficult emotions while doing it. That really is amazing progress for me, almost as amazing as the weightloss itself. Formerly, I instantly retreated to food disorders to handle life pains.
It's taken enormous struggle within and without to get to this place.
I'm sure it will still be challenging at times, but I feel committed to the idea of keeping food as fuel, not comfort. I am also committed to comforting myself by respecting myself and caring for my needs in non food related ways.
Ive learned alot about myself in the last couple months while dealing with a loss I didnt see coming. I guess that knowledge wil have to be my silver lining in the clouds, because I'm finally ready to move on.

(it could be the latte!)
Sadly, although I hear a lot of people talking about LCHF/P, I've seen very little in writing, or through official channels that would seem to support or corroborate the facts about LCHF/P ways of eating.
Sure, loads of people are talking about it, and those who partake and I've spoken to, are enthusiastic and excited about the changes they've seen in themselves.
But damn it. Officialdom does not seem to be following suit. Health representatives, nutritionists and dietitians, or even those in the ground-breaking camps of the food industry are still pushing 'low-fat' as the way to go, and that Type2 Diabetics should keep their carb intake up.
How frustrating......1 -
Well, I did it, I dropped the weight, went lower than I was aiming for and I have held the line for a month now. I made it to my birthday while under my original goal weight. I have learned so much from the LCD groups and ketodudes, I think I can continue to be successful with maintaining.
For all of you still around the 10 lbs. to go area, you can get past that and reach your goal. Exam what you have been doing and see what you can tweak. For me it was adding in extended fasting. It might be something different for you. But it is so worth it.
Much success to all of you in this thread in the coming weeks.6 -

Awe! Thank you!1 -
When extended fasting is mentioned what is? Does a cup of coffee break the fast or does food intake break the fast (breakfast)? My last meal is 6:00pm (supper) and my first coffee is 7:30am; is this 14 1/2 hours of fasting? Is it intermittent?

Scale at a stand still. 10# to go. Have to be patient.1

Missed this because I was off camping.
Many consider fasting for more than 24hrs extended fasting. But really anything that goes on for 2 or more days.jonni82014 wrote: »When extended fasting is mentioned what is?
I've heard different things. Some say no calories. So if it were water or black coffee, then it would not break the fast. Others say as long as it's under 50 cals. Some say as long as it's just fat, like Bulletproof Coffee, then insulin isn't spiked so you are still fasting. It just depends on what you can handle and why you are using IF.Does a cup of coffee break the fast or does food intake break the fast (breakfast)?
Yes. That's considered intermittent fasting. Fasting for part of a day, 12 or more hours to get the benefit. Or fasting every other day. Any brief, finite fasting is usually considered intermittent.My last meal is 6:00pm (supper) and my first coffee is 7:30am; is this 14 1/2 hours of fasting? Is it intermittent?
