Ha ha! Crazy spellcheck! I’m hoping to see a nice LOSS! Not kiss... although, that would be nice too

I'm starting keto again. Tried it last year and did quite well for a couple of months and then food addiction hit me hard. I'm a recovering binge eater.
So I'm back with dietdoctor.com and will be doing 16/8 IF every day and then some extended fasts (with only water and salt) once I get through the initial stage.2 -
My boyfriend strayed today but I stayed on track. Unsure if this is in my favor but I stop eating at 7pm and I can easily go until 5pm the next day before I feel like I should eat something. So I'll eat a meal then I'm good until the next day. I'm getting plenty of water and I feel good. Today closes day 10 and 11lbs lost.3

Was just reading back through the thread and the sleep issue jumped right out at me! I agree, when I have been doing keto in the past my sleep was terrible. According to the 2ketodudes podcast it's quite common ...0

It seems to have the opposite affect on me. I actually sleep better on keto.2

It is so helpful for me to see that you are already feeling the urge to eat less on day 10. I am starting slow, trying one keto meal at a time to convince myself that I can do it.1 -
Sticking to the plan. Trying to stay warm!!!
Have a great day everyone!!!1 -
just wanted to say hi! New here! just found this group. Started keto at the end of Nov, my husband is also doing this (as is my mother in law and father in law). Lost 25 lbs so far and loving it. I live in Florida but originally from New England. So hello to everyone!4

Started Keto Aug 3 2017 and lost 35 lbs to ~Dec 15 where the Christmas parties and treats took over and I began to seriously avoid my scale. I did over eat but unlike other years did not go on major binges so that is something. Dec 30th faced the scale and I was up 15 lbs which was depressing but I shrugged it off and went back to Keto. The first couple of days were rough but stuck to it even thru New Years and as of today, 12 days in, have lost 12 of those pounds. This WOE has its challenges but the benefits to me are so worth it. I started this as a diet to lose weight (again). I am sticking with it for health AND further weight loss. By the end of my sugar binge over Christmas my whole body was sore. Whenever I stood up I had to lean on tables or chairs to move the first few feet before I was fully upright and the pain in my ankle knee and hip was very
bad. My ability to sleep was also affected This was normal for me pre-Keto. Now, once again, without the sugar in my system I get up and walk around like a “normal” person and am sleeping better again. I love the weight loss but I really love feeling so much better.2 -
Been on keto since Sept 11, got off from Thanksgiving through New YEars and didnt gain an ounce! (I did not weight myself until I knew had entered ketosis again)
25 pounds down, just had a baby June 27th and 10 away from prepregnancy weight with 50 to go!
I am finally back to IF, I drink coffee with cream at 7am, eat lunch at 11 and dinner 7.
I love this WOE!!1 -
Hi Everyone!
I'm new here, trying to figure this out... I did Keto a couple of years ago and lost 25lbs in about 4 months. I felt great! Then, fell off the wagon and slowly gained it all back PLUS 15! Ugh.
I'm back at it and have lost 10lbs in 11 days! Super happy about that. I like reading about all your successes and challenges, thank you. I am a pastry chef, just working part time now. I've been to culinary school and love cooking, so if anyone has any questions about cooking, or making a vegetable taste better, or different, just ask and I'd be glad to give you some suggestions. Last night for dinner I had a creamy cauliflower/curry soup with chicken breast to the side. It was delicious and so filling!2 -
Hi All! I stared January 3rd. I only weighed in last Monday, so have no idea what I've lost, if any, but I feel fantastic! Add me if you'd like - My diary is open to friends and I could also use the support.3

My husband and I started the day after Thanksgiving, but I think, even though I thought I was doing okay, maybe I had too many little "cheats" during the holidays to throw me off. Then the week between Christmas and New Year's, well, let's just forget that week. So back at it again and overall down about 5 lbs. Just happy I'm still down this time, but ready to lose a good 40! A year ago doctor had me on a low carb, pretty similar, but had me limit to 20g carbs per meal, one cheat meal per week and I could keep my coffee with minimal flavored creamer. When I stalled at about 20 lbs he had me start some meds and I lost another 15, but then several months later life got in the way. I stopped the meds, stopped eating that way and thought I was watching, but things crept in like Starbucks and unhealthy snacks on vacation and I gained 20 or so of it back.
So here we go again... 0 -

I get really weird dreams but I definitely sleep much much better on keto! Downside is I have to get up at least once a night to tinkle where as I didn't have to do that before. But I suppose it's a good thing!0 -

What if you tried cutting off your fluid intake earlier? Could that reduce your sleep interruptions?0 -

Sounds like spontaneous intermittent fasting has kicked in for you!1 -
Good Morning everyone. Picking myself back up after a bad Friday. Stressed out and strayed off plan. Got right back on yesterday.
Have a great day!!!4 -
Hi all!
SW: 288
CW: 266
GW: 140-150 (long road ahead!)
I'm more so doing "low carb" rather than keto, but close enough for me right now (goal is to be under ~40 carbs/day). I started trying to lose weight in late December, and lost about 12 lbs. This past week, I started eating low carb, high fat, and have dropped another 10 lbs, bringing me to 22 lbs total so far. I'm 5'10 and my goal is to be 140-150 lbs. I currently need to lose another 120 lbs to reach this goal.
I am trying to lose weight for my wedding (goal is to lose 60 lbs, but I secretly hope I can be just under 200 by then somehow), which is in 6 months, and so that my fiance and I can have kids soon. I am tired of being unhealthy, and looking and feeling like crap. I've had my time full of eating junk and drinking alcohol - so many empty calories I ingested over the years - and I am ready to be disciplined for my health and well-being.
The thing I love about this way of eating is that I do not crave sweet things or breads (I have been a sugar addict my entire life). Just the thought of them makes me feel a bit sick now. I've noticed that I appreciate real food more and that processed things are unappealing to me now.
Thanks for reading if you made it all the way through. Happy loss!

@fifiman Sounds like you are doing well. It's an idea to break it down with smaller goals, like under 250, then possibly 230 etc as it always seems much more attainable and less of a task when you can really see an end in sight. Then you just set your next goal. It's all about achievement.
