    @rae1388: just tried the mug cake - I may be addicted

    @NikkiJRM Right now I'm happy to log/track but I want this keto to become a lifestyle. I can't see myself logging everything I eat for the rest of my life. So, I'm going to give it at least one week with no logging. I'm going to weigh in every day this week though. Maybe next week I'll try no looging and no weighing. We'll see how this week goes. Thanks for joining me.

    Don't be too hard on yourself. Stick to it - if you keep going, those 4 lbs will turn into 40 lbs. Heck, it's no failure to enjoy your lifestyle AND lose an average of 1 lb per week!

    I'm sure my loss was only from OMAD. But I guess it's better than gaining from my bad habits

    @River_Goddess I tried the Loaded Cauliflower recipe tonight and it was sooooo good. My husband and 14 month old loved it too! Thanks for sharing!

    You're welcome!! It is a hit in my house too :)

    @Jen_Free Just go into Announcements which is in the same place as this Challenge and it says Keto Monthly Challenge Spreadsheet. The very first post is by Nikki who set up the spreadsheet. Click on the link and it will take you to the Spreadsheet, add your name and away you go! If you are doing this from a phone there maybe a problem is so message Nikki here and she will see your request and send you a link to access the Spreadsheet. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, some people use it, some people don't and just log their weekly weight here and a lot of us use both!

    Also to everyone else, welcome back to all the old timers and welcome to everyone new! <3

    I've been doing Keto since February 19th and I've lost 42 pounds as of March 25th. I'm excited to have found this group! I started out at 440. But I'll never see that number again!

    @VanessaFaith That's so awesome! Way to go!

    I just started keto on Saturday! I had been hovering around 161/162 for the past few weeks up from the 155 I had been staying at for most of this year. One Sunday I weighed in at 159.8 and this morning I was down another .4 despite not being the best on Easter. Goal for this month is to lose at least 10 pounds. My ultimate goal weight because I am on the shorter side would be around 125ish.

    Sunday 04/01- 159.8

    Starting today, too! I have kidney diseases AND would like to lose about 80 pounds... keto has been shown in some early studies to slow the progress of kidney disease, and the science behind the weight loss has been solid. I've been doing Whole30 or some modifed version on and off for around 2 years... that was super do-able (and enjoyable). I have high hopes for keto - it's actually less restrictive in many ways than Whole30. I wish you good luck!
    I get you with the stress eating - I'm a conference planner and the stress really ratchets up this time of year. I'm weirdly looking forward to pork rinds so I have something to crunch while I cry into my spreadsheets. ;)

    Yesterday was not a great day to start a no logging week for me. We were invited to an Easter brunch where we encountered unfriendly keto choices and people. One type II diabetic was absolutely convinced I was on the verge of ketoacidosis by eating keto. I’m not on a mission to convert everyone to do Keto so I didn’t engage. Sometimes I’m amazed how little people know about their ailments.

    I’m not in a position to judge though. It has taken me 68 years to discover keto and the benefits of eating fat. Anyway, the results of my non-keto brunch was my scale showed a 1.6 pound gain this morning. I should uh, could uh, would uh made keto choices but I caved.

    Not to worry though. I’m back on it today. Made a version of rae1388’s Loaded Cauliflower to munch on all week. I subbed broccoli and hot Italian sausage instead of bacon and cauliflower. It was delicious and I swear it kicked me right back into ketosis. Anyway, I’m convinced I’m back in the keto saddle even though I’m not logging in everything I eat this week. Good luck Nikki and China on your “intuitive eating” week.

    @schen503 welcome, all you need to do is log your weight here each week, usually on a Sunday but as it's already Monday you could just do Monday this week and then Sundays through April if it suits. Just copy what people are doing here!

    Also in the Announcements where you found this there is the Monthly Keto Spreadsheet so you can also add your name to that and log your weight there as well. If the link doesn't work (sometimes it doesn't from a phone) then if you post here Nikki will pick up your post and send you a link. Good luck!

    And to everyone: great seeing you all here in the April Challenge!

    Goodness weight is a weird thing! On Saturday we had a big family dinner and I made lasagna but for me, I used the zero/low carb noodles and was generally saint like. Next morning up 1 lb. So yesterday, Easter Sunday big family meal and many small children. I was very restrained and avoided everything carb except some broccoli. That went well until after dinner when I spotted an unwrapped white chocolate Easter bunny and thought, I'll just have one small bit. Mmmm so that went well, I virtually inhaled the rest! Net result I got on the scales this morning thinking this is going to be horrific and what do you know, I was down 1lb, so my suggestion is that I eat a white chocolate rabbit every day, no? :*

    @chinatowninchina Hahaha! I would totally be down if there was a diet out there where I could eat a white chocolate bunny even just once a week and lose weight!
