Ok gang, I'm in too! I'm really discouraged right now as I've been in ketosis for about a month and have not lost one ounce of weight! I work out a few times a week, track calories and macros, intermittent fasting 18:6, I don't know what else to do but keep plugging away and maybe eventually my body will figure it out. I need to lose at least 25 pounds, more would be better but it's a start. Hopefully I can lose 10 this month.

goodness me, people, do you realise we have 46 new challengers and 12 oldies posting their weights! Let's try to get to the end of January with everyone still going at this and perhaps with even more joining us! For anyone who said they wanted to join and hasn't posted their weight so far, feel free to join in the chaos!
@cbishop7777 have you just started to work out? It could be muscle? Or maybe you are having too much fat? Some one who knows more about marcos etc may well advise!3 -

Hoping this group will stay positive-as it seems SO many of the community boards become rude or often shame others
@travelmore86 - Let's refrain from criticism of any other boards or locations, please. It is a violation of MFP's terms. Thank you.1 -
I could use a challenge for sure. Find myself getting lazy lately.

I’m back!
After a very emotionally difficult holiday, I’m focusing on myself and my health again. Losing my mom on Christmas Eve made it difficult to be as strict as I usually am. Not at home, not my food or cooking, liquor...not a great 2 weeks. However, I didn’t gain, amazingly.
Not sure how much change I’ll show from today to Sunday, but these challenges help keep me focused. You all are very inspiring!

So i thought with the new year I was gonna have so much motivation. And so far that motivation is not there!!! I don't know what's up. I did horrible things to food for 3 days straight. I am back full force on keto now though. So ready to get my motivation back. I went to the doc wednesday.. fully clothed and all my work clothes and boots on I was 152.. so i imagine i am still pretty close to my 146 or 147 that I have been sitting at. But I have a bladder infection and am now on antibiotics but I am in pain
they did an xray and think I may have a kidney stone. I go in again Monday. I feel like most of the pain is in my kidneys and it does make me wonder a little... is keto messing with my kidneys?! I don't know. 0 -
In the LCD group (our sister or cousin group that covers all kinds of low carb - and it's locked, so you have to request to join, just because of some previous issues), there is a post called Sodium and the Russian Nephrologist - about a member's experience with a kidney stone and such...
Group Link - if you're not already in that group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group
Might be worth a read:
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10257118/sodium-blood-pressure-and-the-russian-nephrologist/p11 -
That thread with nephrologist in the title, is ultimately about blood pressure. If I am reading it right there was a possible problem with kidney stones (thus referral to a nephrologist) which turned out - no stones.
It should also be noted that while the thread first mentions the nephrologist's suggestion to take in 20 grams, yes grams, of sodium it was later confirmed it was 20 grams of salt which is 8 grams of sodium (8000mg. Big difference. It is often important to read a complete thread (then do your own research) before making health decisions.
@HaideeJo13 hope you get to feeling better.2 -

Started Keto on January 1st. Down 6 lbs?!? What is this sorcery?!?
Also, on a lighter note, texted my daughter that I was doing the 'ketogenic diet' and my phone autocorrected it to 'cryogenic diet'
She said "sounds expensive, but it worked for Bucky Barnes" (in the Avengers movies, for you none comic book geeks lol)5 -
Started keto on the 2nd January, down 6.8lbs. Was feeling good and sleeping well until I caught my daughters stinking cold, now I don't feel like eating much at all1
