I've completed my first week of keto eating and lost 3.8 pounds. Not a huge loss perhaps, but still progress and I am happy.
Anybody else want to report their good news here, loss or NSV?

Well, I'll report in again. At the end of my second week of keto, no additional weight loss, but I did lose some inches. Biggest loss was 2 inches in the hips, only half an inch off the waist. But that's definitely a victory. I thought my jeans were fitting a little looser. It's nice to at least feel that it's working, even if the scales don't agree.2

Once again no weight loss, have stayed steady for 2 weeks now. But once again I lost half an inch off the waist and half an inch off the bust. Losing inches makes me happy!
By the way, I would love it if others contribute to this thread and post their successes, whether they are on the scale or some other metric. Improved mood, less discomfort at time of month, anything like that. I am inspired by others' successes and maybe you are too. It's a great motivator to have others cheering you on.1 -
Finally a bit of weight loss, down 2.6 pounds. I was a little frustrated those weeks where I did not lose, but staying the course has finally resulted in a bit of loss, plus another half-inch off the hips, so it's all to the good. Keepin' on is the right thing to do, even when not seeing results. You will eventually!2

On keto diet the last four days and lost 3 pounds. My mind is much calmer!2

Wow, Kelly, you're a star! Isn't it wonderful how your mood and attitude are improved so quickly?2

I'm only back on the Keto wagon going into day 2, but my small victory was hitting my macros spot on yesterday, getting in a 30 minute walk w/ my pups & not caving into cravings! On to day 2, have a delicious day planned and really looking forward to success, sustainable success!
Can I ask where you measured? I am a little overwhelmed at measuring all of the spots MFP suggests. I didn't know if I just picked a few (trouble) spots if that would even be worth it? Mainly thinking bust/right under so I guess rib cage/ hips and thighs.0 -
@RhiannonBecks , congrats on such a great start! I measure 3 places, fullest part of bust, narrowest part of waist (just above belly button) and fullest part of the hips. I'm not sure how exact I am every time, but it is definitely encouraging to see rough measurements diminish, even just a little.2

My NSV is my knees, wrists, fingers, and toes are looking a little boney. My SV is Down 49 lbs since April 4th. Still have 78 lbs to go. I just realized I passed the 80 lbs to go mark! And it seems like yesterday I was at the 100 to go mark! Love this WOE6

Another week done, a 0.8 pound loss this time, along with an inch off my bust. Since I overindulged a bit this week, I'm happy to take this.
@raspberrybishop2012, congrats on all of your victories. I love that your wrists, hands and feet are looking more streamlined - mine are still pretty puffy so looking forward to that NSV! And wow, look at those vanished pounds. 50 pounds is something to celebrate, especially in only 5 months!1 -
Just got back from 10 days at Lark World Music and Dance Camp. I did well keeping to keto WOE. I have lost 5 pounds since beginning three weeks ago. Meeting my goal of a pound a week! Yay!0

It's nice to see all of your progress. I'm on Keto day 3. I read up a lot on the adjustment, so drinking a lot of water, increasing salt intake, taking a magnesium supplement and eating avocados to get my potassium. Hoping to get through this adjustment as smoothly as possible. One of my goals is to eliminate cravings - 3 days on this and I feel hungry at times but eating enough to be satisfied and so far no carb cravings! That's my NSV so far.0

Has anyone had issues sleeping since starting the Keto lifestyle?

Has anyone had issues sleeping since starting the Keto lifestyle?
Not really, if anything, has helped my anxiety prior to bed and allowed me to relax. I was going strong for about 6 months, fell off the wagon and I am on Day 2, week 2, but sleep has improved immensely over the last week so far.
Good Luck to you!
