Well, I've finally hit the keto energy curve! Really had been starting to question whether this was right for me. Workouts had been a disaster both in strength and endurance. Now almost a month in, have lost 5lbs (not counting the water weight I lost and gained back) and thrilled to not be moving at a snails pace! I wish I knew how long the whole adaptation process takes beforehand.1

I know it's already the 6th of the month but I just saw this. Too late to join?

Great weight loss, well done to you! Also post anytime and you are doing it correctly, we don't edit the original one, just add a new post as you have done.

Not a full pound but started about 6 months ago and have lost a bit over 27 lbs... this is when it starts getting really hard to loose for me, thank you for the challenge, I need this PUSH!
Well done for loosing 27lbs and let's face it, loosing anything is better than putting it on which seems to be my alternative

It can take up to 6 weeks for your body to adapt to burning fat for energy. Also many people stall at week 3-4. At my 3 week mark I was really strict with my macros and I had the same 4-5 lbs for about 2 weeks up & down, but I'm so glad I stuck with it.
Edited: bc I'm getting sick & clearly can't read. Lol. I'm glad it's turned around for ya.

I was very annoyed to hop on the scale and see I gained 2lbs...ugh.
I'm kinda hoping it was a crap scale1 -

Thank you for this!!!
I was really depressed after leaving the clinic with my weight having gone up.
I did have some adult beverages but cut calories this week. Also my macros were very good. So your info was encouraging. This was my week 4.
My stats:
11/01- 222.4
11/06- 223.8

Goal 11/28- 162lbs
Goal this week is to not have my Saturday drinks. I paid for it this week. Felt like crap for two days. And I am pretty sure it stalls me a little. So I'm gonna attempt to skip it this week!

I've decided to ditch the scale! I could see my body changing but the numbers didn't always show it .. instead of basing my success (or failure haha) on my weight I'm gonna fly blind.
Just finished my 1st IF workout and was amazed at the energy and stamina I had! Anyone else using intermittent fasting?2 -

Well done with the loss, excellent work! Good luck with this week's non drinking goal!

I am, 18/6 or I do dinner to dinner on occasion. Very effective for me combined with LC. I'm especially hoping the IF helps with skin elasticity.
Congrats on ditching the scale!! I carry my weight all over. It took me months of dropping lbs to see a real difference in inches and how my body looked.

Thank you!!! After the way I felt after drinking, I don't think it is going to be too hard skipping it lol. Plus I prefer the feeling of eating healthy than the buzz from drinking. Crazy how everything changes once you start seeing and feeling the results.3 -

I hear ya. It used to be my favourite way to unwind. A glass (or bottle) of wine, a dry cider (or five). One night a week (or three). Not anymore. I can count on one hand how many times I have had drinks since starting keto last June. It's just not appealing anymore. I get a headache and a hangover from just one drink now. I'd rather spend my money on keto chocolate and good quality meat/cheese
