I am down 2# this week! It's moving along much better with my food log and intake. The weather is warming up so I can be outside walking more. Gardening season is soon here so that will be more exercise! Great job, everyone! I see that many of you are shedding pounds consistently. Nikki, I've been inspired and encouraged with your honest posts. I was starting to feel all alone in my discouragement and disappointment at not losing as fast as I want to. But since it took 10 years to put on, I shouldn't expect it to fall off quickly! Onward!0

Happy about this loss and truly looking forward to getting out of the stubborn 230s. I've been stuck here for far too long!!1 -

3/11/2018 230 lbs

I have 1 more week or so to get to 220. Spring break is over so it’ll be easy going back to fasting and stuff. Gonna focus more!0 -
FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! Goodbye 190's! HELLOOOOOOOOO 180's!
I've mentioned in several posts about trying Stillman's for 2 weeks. Let me tell you, IT WORKS!! I'd recommend it over fasting. How I've benefitted personally:
1. Most meals are so incredibly boring there is little chance of overeating.
2. Most of my meat/fish is portioned so there's no weighing
3. I haven't had to worry about calorie deficit because I'm not even close to my upper limit.
4. I feel satiated.
5. No cravings for sweets or sugar whatsoever.
6. Kicked my HWC addiction to the curb.
7. Muscle mass is the same from last week, no drops.
8. No exercise which means I've been spending extra time with my kiddies.
I am 4.2lbs away from my 2nd goal which gets my BMI UNDER 30!! Hoping to get there by April 1st. WOOT WOOT!

Thanks so much stormywxs288!!!0 -
Yippee doo, a lost! Just 0.6 but a loss! 157.2 rather than 157.8. I'm quite please with myself actually as it was my grand daughter's birthday at the weekend and I made the cake and it was decorated here at our house by my daughter and daughter in law (I'm allowed to do the inside that's not on view!!) Then the party was at our house as well (their electricity was mysteriously playing up........mmmm!) anyhow I didn't eat cake, or sweets not even a swipe of the icing when it was being decorated!
Well done everyone this week, there have been some fab losses.
Also; anyone not posting their weight who used to, but may still be checking this post, come back: we love you all.
It doesn't matter if you've been off track and gained, come back and start posting again. Going down in weight doesn't matter or should I say isn't the only bonus. It's the trying not to gain and even staying about the same that counts. Most of us gained the weight by avoiding the scales and that way more pounds lurk (or in my case leap on board!) I think it's just as important to stay the same weight rather than gain a load more. If this post helps you stay the same weight or minimise weight gain then use it as that. When you are feeling inspired again to loose weight you will be starting from a better position than if you have just gained a bit or stayed the same. It all helps and we'll all be supportive as we know what it's like! One day or several weeks and months 
then 
for a while then you get the picture I'm sure! 3 -

I feel like it's going to be slow going now unless I change up some things like cutting back on/cutting out dairy and artificial sweeteners.0 -
@KristinLeeD I cut out sweeteners, dairy (1 week) & caffeine. I had inflammation in my joints again and that went away. I'm slowly reintroducing dairy but still leaving out the caffeine & sweeteners. It's definitely made a difference for me.1
-
@NikkiJRM I think I'll cut back today and work on letting them go. I'm being selfish because I feel like they are the last things I've held on to! I know if I give them up, it's not forever (unless I decide later that I want to) so I'll see if it makes a difference! (If can give up complex carbs and my coffee creamer, I can do anything! lol)2

My goal for the month is to lose 12 pounds. So far, I have lost 7 lbs.
I feel like my weightloss has stalled since the first week so I started walking this week. I am hopeful that walking will push my body into giving up some pounds.
Have a great week everyone!1 -
I know we normally check in with our weight on Sundays but my Tanita scale told me two things I haven’t seen in years today. This morning in my daily obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) weigh in ritual I reached two significant milestones:
1. Tanita physique rating of 5 which is smack in the middle of the HEALTHY RANGE.
2. I was in the 160s at 169.0
All measurement is imprecise and certainly I wouldn’t go to the bank with any of my Tanita measurements. However, I believe using the same scale as a benchmark to compare my DAILY trends is informative and feeds my OCD needs.
So forgive me, I couldn’t wait until Sunday to share (shamefully brag) my milestone achievements.

@stormywxs288 excellent reasons for not waiting and well done!0

@stormywxs288 That's wonderful!! Checking my fitness rating is an obsession...okay, one of many.

I turned 30 last week (woohoo!) and my boyfriend took me to Vegas for 4 days. I really enjoyed it and decided to step out of keto for those days while sticking to OMAD to somewhat limit the damage, lol. I came back Friday and I was SO bloated! I could tell that there was a lot of water weight weighing me down and the flight back home felt uncomfortable and blah. Incredible how bad an effect carbs have on me. I had quite a few drinks as well, so I know I had more than 1500cals a day. All in all I had an amazing time in Vegas, I started a new decade and there's no time for having regrets! As a new immigrant in the US I had really missed travelling as I used to travel every 3 month or so. I did not step on the scale since I got back because I know I gained weight most of it being water and I don't want to worry about that.
I am back on OMAD and keto and will weigh in this week!
KCKO!
Soooo...I did end up weighing myself after my Vegas trip and in 4 days...4 days!...I had gained 8 pounds. WTH!!! I was so mad! But thank God I lost all of it the same week. It's incredibly frustrating to be a slow loser and a Speedy Gonzales gainer.0 -
@JoannaVenuto I'm with you on that, it comes off slow but it goes on fast and though I know it's water weight and it will come off, it's never ever as fast as it came on! Great being the same weight again now though and the key thing is you didn't think 8lbs: what's the point and keep going up and up! You got back on to it and it's away and you will go down, remember the hare and the tortoise............ 1

@NikkiRJM; 1 PullUp, @HaideeJo13: 8 pullups & 2-1/2 minute plank, @Stormywxs288: 4 pull ups & 2-1/2 minute plank, @Freischuetz: 5 perfect Dragon Flags, @Natedecker: Plank
How’s your “Get-R-Done” exercise challenge going? I’ve progressed to Three whole pull ups and close to a 2-minute plank. My pull ups are ugly and fast but I’m confident I’ll get to 4 or 5 by next week. I think I could do 2-1/2 min. plank today but I’m waiting until Monday to give both pull ups and plank a fresh/rested try. If I don’t accomplish my goals on Monday I’ll have all week to keep trying.
Thanks for the challenge. Hope all is going well for you. I a good challenge.
