Not much of a shift. I've been doing intermittent fasting however I can't shake off additional weight. I think I'm gonna cut out cheese. I read about someone who was doing keto cut dairy out and the scales started to move again.

Hey everyone, there's been some editing done to the spreadsheet overnight that locked it.
I'm not sure if it was someone trolling & clowning around, or if it was a mistake click. I've unlocked it now and it is open. Happy Logging!

Weighing in. Happy with results of my lazy keto style thus far. I even got to enjoy some halo top this week.
This is the beginning of my 7th week on keto and I don't really know if I'm in ketosis as I don't test or anything, but over the last 3 weeks I've felt more energy than usual during the day (granted I am anemic and don't get much sleep due to my 6 month old). I've always been used to functioning while tired and never really knew how bad it was until recently. I'm hoping I continue to find more energy as I progress (and as my kid learns to sleep through the night haha). I find this WOE so much more sustainable than I thought it would be initially and since I started the whole thing for health rather than weight loss, the actual poundage loss is the icing on the cake. I've noticed my back/hip hasn't been nearly as painful, but my hands seem to be unchanged. Here's to hoping the journey continues to reduce my inflammation. Good luck everyone!

Reached a milestone on this weigh in. Weighing in at 179.6, I’m now in the 170s! And I’ve lost a total of 1.67 Bowling Balls of weight this year. I’d love to get to two full bowling balls (15 x 2 = 30 lbs) by the end of February. Lofty goal – requires 5.2 pound loss in 17 days. If I shoot for the stars maybe I’ll hit the moon.
My Tanita scale told me I gained 0.6% of Body Fat this week ☹. Not sure what is going on there? Maybe I’m still in some stage of keto transition (only in week 5 on keto)? Expect to lose BF next week.
Good to see a lot of the members of our group hanging in there as well as more people joining our group. I
keto and I eating fat.

Feeling good! I stuck closer to the eating plan than I have in a few weeks, and it actually showed!
Also. Helpful tip: make sure your scale is flat on the floor or it might say you weigh 10 lbs less than you really do when the scale is flat....

My body composition fluctuates a lot and sometimes the fat% jumps up for no reason but if you think about it the scale isn't showing that you've gained fat but rather that since you've lost a few lbs, the overall percentage at the moment is higher. Probably due to water weight loss (and hopefully NOT lean muscle loss). I only realized that after looking at my charts and seeing the actual lbs of fat going down even though the % doesn't move much at all.
Hovering at around 39% bf this week,
Last week I was at 78.7lbs of body fat
This week I am at 76.8lbs of body fat.
I don't really think the scales are 100% accurate anyway so it's better to use it to see trends.

How do you all feel cognitively? Any sharper, sluggish, alert, feel smarter..? I’ve heard people feel different in ketosis.0

Overall it was a good week. Although I was super busy & feeling tired I pushed myself to get in some exercise every day. Nothing crazy but I just wanted to be consistent. Here is my .5lb loss. I worked for that .5lb so I'm proud of it!

@mikethornton117 I've not given cognition much thought. In general I've always felt sharp and alert. I can say that I find it easier to shut my brain off at night and just go to sleep which is something I had difficulty with even as a child.2 -

I am going to have to be ok with losing a little slower this month, as I've started back at the gym and can feel I'm building muscle /retaining water in my muscles. I'm sore! But I'm okay if the scale doesn't move much for a few weeks. It's important for me to start looking at building some strength. I want to be able to do some serious hiking this summer
@NikkiJRM would you pls update my stats next time you're in the spreadsheet? Thx! 2 -

Amen to that! Here's a trend I do believe: I feel better than I have for years now that I'm on keto. I eating fat.

Lots of ups and downs on the scale this week but I'm glad to be ending the week on the lighter side. And I'm officially 20lbs down from my start weight! Now I just gotta do that 5 more times.1 -

It's been really frustrating seeing the scale fluctuate up and down for weeks now...and mostly up.
I am still on my TOM, going on week 5 now. I am bloated and feel awful. I have been keeping my carb intake low, I am limiting my keto-friendly drinks, I am doing OMAD, and yet here I am.
I do feel better in my clothes, my pyjama pants are a bit looser, and my wrist watch is loose. But my brain is playing bits: if the scale is going up then something is wrong.
I am scared to take my measurements because if they aren't shrinking then I might loose my marbles.
UGHHHHH!!!!
I need a nap.

The wins I am going to talk about is how great I feel. No more mean, insane and painful hunger pangs. I go all day without feeling hungry. The only indicator that I need to eat is that acetone taste in my mouth. I consistently went 20+ hours with nothing but 300cal coffee+HWC as a breakfast.
I wake up full of energy. I sleep better.
I will take that as NSV and KCKO.2 -
Keep going Joanna! I also had a 5-6 week cycle in my first 3 months of keto... you gotta hang on and stick it out. Keto is good for many things, including hormone balancing. Your body is healing!! Keep going. If you're sticking to your macros, the weight WILL come off.3
