Hey all! I've injured my foot. I'm sitting around being waited on (the agony! ) I won't be able to update until I can make it downstairs to the scale. Another day or two the most. I'm cheering you all on though. Congrats @Figaver !!!

Hi Nikki, how's the foot doing? Some people will do anything to avoid weighing in!! If I know you you will have lost a bunch even sitting napping!

LOL, Most likely not. We shall see. They brought me a tres leches cake I could NOT refuse. So many things I haven't refused but I'm not worried about it.

Hey there Nikki! I hope that you are alright?! You aren't missing much out here. It's bitter cold again. (I am just north of NYC.) Tried to get some stuff done out in the yard today but frozen my fingers and ran back inside. Take care of that foot, darlin. There's only so much channel chasing that a girl can do! Seriously, I hope that you get better soon!

I started out the week strong once again and was down 5 lbs by Thursday, but wine and chocolate took over this weekend. Still a loss, but could have been better. I did cut out diet soda and I didn’t feel the need to snack as much. I’m determined to not unravel this weekend and stick to my eating goals. Wine definitely won’t be the problem, as I’ve just found out I’m pregnant

@Figaver - Here's to hoping congratulations are in order!

Thanks all! I’m still very early, it came as quite a surprise since we were actively trying to prevent pregnancy. Guess we weren’t very good at it lol. It’s been almost exactly a year since I was pregnant last time(due dates are about 8 days apart), unfortunately that ended as an ectopic pregnancy.
I’m hoping to still lose some weight. They told me last time I should only gain 11-20 lbs and I was able to keep it to exactly 20. I’d like to be on the low end this time. That’s if the pregnancy sticks of course. I have an increased chance of another ectopic, and being older, an increased chance of miscarriage.

@Figaver - Sending you the best of thoughts. Keto sometimes has the side effect of improved fertility... And just in case you're wondering, it is safe to stay on keto during pregnancy, especially since you're already adapted. You may still want some carbs, especially at first, but keeping yourself below 75, but as close to your normal keto as possible will really help keep that pregnancy weight down...

I hope you carry to term successfully, and have a happy healthy baby! (HUGS)

@baconslave and others might have some suggestions for you...

Sticky baby dust your way!!!
I lost a baby at 11.5 weeks about 7 years ago. It was devastating. Hoping for the best for you.

I can't disagree with Knit at all. That's perfect advice! I had to go low-carb due to gestational diabetes during my last pg. I wasn't all that low-carb, maybe between 100-120. My dr had no idea about low-carb but just put me on a 2000-cal diabetic diet. About 30g carbs per meal with two 15g snacks. I lost 10lb. I ate plenty. Of course by that point I had already gained 35lb, so the 10lb loss helped a lot. Had I been eating lower-carb all along, I'm confident I wouldn't have gained that much to begin with. After the pregnancy though, to get rid of the high blood sugars, I had to go down in carbs further to keto-level carbs for a few months. I was pretty dang overweight to begin with and was probably prediabetic, only I didn't know it.

Oh, and Remember the electrolytes! The need for them doesn't change. You need to stay hydrated.

I’m still figuring out how to use the mfp app so I’m a bit late to this challenge, but I started Keto on dec 31st at 175lbs and this past Sunday I was 167lbs! My goal is to lose 40lbs my dream is to lose 60lbs. This is my first time trying keto. I’ll add a picture from the first day of week one to the first day of week 3.

Hi, we started Keto on Jan 5th after completing a 3 day juice detox. Lost 2 lbs a day initially, however, now I have not had any weigh loss and even up a pound one day and down the next. I have refigured my macros a couple of times and they always come out the same, and I am staying on target with them. This week, week 3, I am following the Keto Reset by Mark Sisson. Anyone else had weight gain when starting Keto?

I know Sunday is our regular check-in, but yesterday was my birthday, and I would like to log in my birthday weigh on this thread for a matter of record. On my 68th birthday I weighed in at 191.0 lbs. Actually, I was hoping to weigh 180something on my BD, but that would have been a small miracle (14.5 lb.) weight loss in the first 16 days of the year. Considering the fact, I didn’t start Keto until 5 Jan, it would have been more than a small miracle.

Instead I’ve only lost 13.4 lbs since New Years day and 11.6 from the day I started Keto. This is the most success I’ve had in such a short time since I started my yo-yo dieting career back in the seventies. I know it has only been a short sample size but I am seriously motivated by the quick weigh loss and the way I feel. Being an expert on about every diet on earth that I have tried over the last 40 some years, I honestly feel this may be the one to do the trick.

I’m hopefully optimistic that by Sunday I will be back here posting a 180 something weight. I also think that Keto is not just a diet but a lifestyle that I can sustain. The truth is : I love to eat fat.
