    Feeling good. Experienced going to the movies for the first time this week without getting popcorn. I did have a few glasses of wine while out celebrating friend's birthday. But, I think I managed to stay in ketosis.

    Well done, nice loss and also if you are fat adapted you will be fine anyhow even if out of Ketois for a day or two. Scales may go up if you eat over your carbs too much (which they didn't!) but that's only water retention for day or two! It goes, it goes!!

    Still no results.. hopefully today! It was a long weekend! My 8 yr old son ended up in the ER friday... spent the night, had surgery Saturday morning to remove a huge infection that developed in his face. His poor face was swollen up huge!!! So all that was available this weekend was hospital cafeteria food. I still made it work tho, munched on salami, and cheese and made egg salad. My kids were impressed lol. I was super discouraged to bot lose anything on my last weigh in. Managed to drop 5 lbs this week tho. Yay!!! Weigh in is technically tomorrow. Last Tuesday I was 169 today I am 164. I'm super excited!!! Hopefully my doc calls today with my results!

    What are everyone's plans for ketoing on thanksgiving? I started October 17th at 184... not one single cheat. I 100% made my mind up that I am eating whatever I want for thanksgiving. Then I thought about it... there is honestly not one single thing that I am dying to eat that day. So may just keto it that day. I would love to make it to under 160 by the end of the month. December on the other hand... it's my favorite month. I want to bake with my kids, taste test AND lick my fingers!!! I am going to enjoy December and choose my cheats days wisely!

    Only down .6 this week! Ah well. Back to my nothing-nothing whoosh pattern (or, not-much not-much whoosh pattern). I'm ok with that. :)

    You're doing great! Keep it up!

    Yay! We can do Thanketoiving! I may have a taste here and there, but turkey is completely keto friendly! Fill up on that! LOL! I was going to go all out and make a lot of keto friendly dishes that I've found online, but now I'm just making mashed cauliflower, deviled eggs and turkey. There will be some other dishes that aren't allowed, but those are for my kids. I can survive without those.

    I'll skip breakfast and lunch and have a little of whatever strikes my fancy for dinner including a sliver of sweet potato pie. It's one day and I'll mentally keep track of calories and be back on track with carb count on Friday.

    3rd Monday check-in. Down 3 lbs this month so far. I guess I'm finally off of that plateau I've been stuck on.

    Hey! I'm a little late but I wanted to put in my stats here too.

    Started on 10/10/17 @ 220

    10/31: 211
    11/6: 211.5
    11/13: 209
    11/20: 209.5
    11/27:

    Half a pound up this weigh in. Haven't gotten into a consistent workout schedule yet so that is changing today. I was down to 207 a few days after my 209 weigh in, lost that progress though. I also know for a fact my hydration could be a lot better than it is, so starting today, I'm making my workout schedule and getting in as much water as possible. But I had a non-scale victory this past week - a jacket that has been fitting pretty snuggly around my upper arms is now fitting loosely, now to just keep chipping away...
