    @trainwreck1984 @luvlylady72 @shizzlebeef @wtomsej welcome, just ask if you have any questions either here in the challenge or elsewhere in the Keto group. Good luck in your first week!

    I’m in! I’ve been researching and gathering recipes the last few weeks in preparation. Need to kick my horrible sugar craving and hoping to better my cholesterol. Also hoping to lose around 25 pounds as end goal.

    Hi, any thoughts on the best site to start the Keto with advice and recipes . I also have a horrible carb and sugar craving ... I wish you well on it.

    The Diet Doctor site is really excellent and has great recipes, you can put Keto in the search for recipes and it will just give you those. Also there is good advice available from people in the general keto forum and also the low carb one. Good luck!

    I couldn't do it. I tried to keep off the scale, but I failed. I'm such a loser. Oh wait! Yes I am! LOL! 4.4 lbs for this week...gone! 36 total. I'm almost halfway to my goal!

    So you beat up your child to hand over the scales, nice work! (also nice work for the loss!!!) :D

    2nd week check-in!

    12/31- 237.6
    01/07- 234.2

    I wanted to get to 233 so I'm pleased. Especially since TOM should start today or tomorrow and I've been giving into cravings like crazy!!! However, seeing @jenconv amazing progress inspires me to get back on the ball with keto. I forgot how much keto works when you really stick to it! This is why I love group challenges! We inspire and encourage one another!

    Excellent work there!

    Newbie here. Just started keto 5 days ago though I've been on MFP off and on for about 2 years now. I should mention that I am eating at maintenance as I am breastfeeding and hoping that will be enough deficit without lowering my milk supply. Good luck everyone!

    Weighing in!

    NICE!!! Excellent weight loss! Keep it going!

    Thank you! I'm a bread lover and going keto has been so difficult for me, but it's been very helpful for my arthritis so I'm sticking to it!

    There's a great recipe on Diet Doctor for a keto Almond bread, I use it all the time, easy to do and tastes great!

    That loss was all in the first few days, haven’t lost for a few days now, wondering if that’s normal or if I’m doing something wrong?

    The initial weight is usually mainly water from the change in the way you are eating. Give it a bit longer and you should see your weight starting to go down, especially once you turn into a 'fat' burner from being a 'sugar' burner.
    There's a great blog tuit nutrition which explains all about this. If you still aren't loosing anything in a few days check what you are eating and make sure your carbs are low enough. Come back advice anytime in this challenge and in the main Keto group that this is part of. Good luck!

    Keto Start: 7/17 - 262.2

    January Goal: 8lbs

    01/01- 199.6

    I had a lovely week. I ate well, slept well, & got in 7 days of exercise. Scale never jumped back over 200, Thank GOD!!! I've started planning more of my dinners ahead of time before shopping and making sure I keep plenty of easy to portion & steam in bag veggies and individually wrapped meats & fish in my kitchen. It's helped that I can throw a bag of broccoli in to the microwave while a piece of fish bakes. 10 minutes and dinner is ready. I've found this to be helpful not only because it's easier to cook while I'm preparing meals for the rest of the family, but when it comes to logging, there's little or no measuring and most of my food is in the recent foods list here on MFP. I absolutely detest weighing every little ingredient and condiment, and now I don't mind logging at all.

    I'm still amazed at how substantial my meals are, that I get to eat things I genuinely enjoy, AND that weight is still coming off. Here's to another successful week!

    Wow I love how busy this challenge is! Congrats on your progress everybody. I read them all but am headed out the door, so can't reply to each of you personally!!

    Jan 1: 260.0
    Jan 7: 246.8

    B) I worked it and it worked!!! B)
    Happy dancing!! I know this is all water weight, 245-247 was the lowest I hit before Christmas, but I'm still happy to see my body respond so quickly getting rid of the holiday gain. I can start clean now and work on seeing new numbers. I'm not normally a big loser/fast loser so this was super cool :)

    @River_Goddess That's just amazing!! It was water weight, but it didn't discourage you to keep you from getting the work done. Congrats on an amazing week!

    @chinatowninchina have you been to Vienna before? It’s beautiful and the pork knuckle that is served everywhere is probably keto friendly.
  • chinatowninchina
    chinatowninchina Posts: 1,279 Member
    @jenconv Yup, we have friends there and we are going to their wedding, however this time we are staying in the museum district rather than with them so we are going to really do the museums and galleries, so hopefully with walking round it will negate some of the food, obviously we will have to avoid the wonderful Weiner Schnitzel all those breadcrumbs! I'll look for the pork knuckle, thanks!

    Pushed through the week. Craving swiss rolls like crazy, but hey! I'd rather feel good about myself forever than have 30 seconds of sugar in my mouth. I've been snowed in (in North Carolina!) and spending way too much money on Amazon. I found a new love for pecan butter and have a jump rope and resistance band on their way. Here's to a great week ahead! I'm hoping to get out of the 240s this week!

    Waves to you from Cary, NC @hbarber85. Supposed to be 64 degrees later this week. Thank heaven. I've had enough of the cold. And Swiss Rolls? I sure wish Food Lion would get that display of nutty buddies and honey buns away from the self check out.... :#

    Hello from Goldsboro, @kpk54! I'm anxiously awaiting that temperature boost! Although, as a teacher, I've been kind of enjoying these snow days. ;) Ugh, nutty buddies. So delicious. I sure wish my Food Lion had a self check out. You guys get all the great things. Hello, Ikea!
