@stormywxs288 I watched several of Thomas DeLauer videos this afternoon - they are great! If I watch them enough I might actually learn some things I didn't absorb in school. I appreciate his info packed fast paced delivery. Thanks for the recommendation.1

“Eating Intuitive” has been good to me. I haven’t logged any food this week! I think, because I was so paranoid about NOT logging macros, calories and exercise, that I was super diligent about what I ate all week (Despite Easter Sunday Brunch). I believe I’m close to place where I know what is “Keto-Right” without having to put it into my MFP food log to see if it met my keto goals.
I’m going to go another week without logging to reinforce my idea that I may be able to do this lifestyle without being tethered to my MFP app. (At least the food log). As far as the rest of the app, I may be hopelessly addicted. Especially to things like our monthly thread. I’m turned on to so many great ideas and inspired by so many stories on this thread!
I lost 2.6 pounds and 0.8% BF this week. That brings me to 39.0 pounds and 12.4% BF lost in 2018. I’m only 1.7 away from being in MFP’s healthy BMI range for my height (<25.0). Ten more pounds and I’ll be at my goal (155). I still have a bad habit of checking the scale every day. Perhaps I’ll work on that when I conquer my food logging fetish?????

I was afraid that I would have a gain today as I've been away from home helping my daughter with a new baby. Grandchild number 10! I was totally surprised to step on the scale this morning with a whole pound left behind! The key was taking some of my own food so I wouldn't have to burden my daughter with having to purchase extra groceries. She understands that I'm doing the keto thing and it was just easier to have what I'm used to eating. She has a lot of goodies sitting around the house from people bringing in food to help (this is her 5th child in less than 6 years) so there was a lot of temptation, but I didn't cave!
Welcome to all the newcomers!

When I came back from my road trip on 4/5, I was up by 4lbs. This morning I was surprised to see the scale at 179.5...yay! So far so good on the Keto way of eating.
@eggfooyamyam and @stormywxs288 thank you for sharing your video recommendations. Will definitely put them on my re-education list to watch. I just watched the documentary, Carb-Loaded: A culture dying to eat and thought it was entertaining and enjoyed it.

The scale is not budging. I added in a short elliptical session yesterday. Not sure what else to do. I wonder if I'm eating something with hidden carbs.

Congratulations to everybody!! Whether you lost, maintained, or gained, you showed up today!!
I’m super happy with this weeks weigh in, especially since it’s following an early morning breakfast. I seem to be having some success with following low calorie days with higher calorie days as opposed to eating the same amount of calories every day.

I am incredibly happy with how this week went. Intuitive eating was a WIN!! I woke up at 189.0 on Monday after all the ham & teenie slice of cheesecake. It's a good reminder for me to allow myself room to enjoy things with my family on occasion, expect the fluctuations, but always get right back to the plan. I think I will continue the intuitive eating.
I'm getting back to my exercise this week. YAY!

In other news, Mr Nikki completed a whole week of eating with me. We started off with Low carb/Low fat for 4 days, then after that torture I introduced him to the wonderful world of HIGH FAT! Last night we had peanut butter cake with breyers carb smart vanilla ice cream. He LOVES keto. I only have to cook one dinner now. I am a HAPPY woman! I may or may not be jealous of the amount of food he can eat and still lose weight.
