Hey People! I had the best time reading all the NSVs today! My latest was a neighbor pulling over to tell me I was getting so thin and I looked great. I think I've gotten to that point where there isn't a question anymore, and it's so much weight gone that people know it's intentional.
This week I'm about .5% down in BF, which is 1.6lbs less of body fat to carry around. Lean muscle is hovering around the same as last week. Also...HELLO 170s!!!
I have another week of LCLF ahead with a small detour tonight to taste my oldest daughter's birthday cake. She turns 13 today. Otherwise, I am pre-logging my entire week tonight. It was helpful this past week.
For physical activity, I am challenging myself to 3 days of 1 minute of burpees.

Well, my first week doing keto is in the books. Scale moved a few lbs, and in general I'm still feeling great, though honestly I hoped for bigger numbers. My struggle this past week was making sure that I'm not consuming sneaky carbs (still learning) and ensuring that I've planned and prepped ahead so that meals are easier. I work two jobs, so it is extra important for me to do this otherwise I'm going to run into trouble ordering takeout. I've done a good job resisting temptations - except with alcohol. I plan to abstain this week and see how it goes. For all the keto veterans out there, any words of wisdom for me? Thanks and cheers!

My scale does body analysis. It's a Weight Gurus bluetooth scale. I was looking as other similar scales that sync to mfp & fitbit, and this one was priced in my budget. $59.99 at BB&B and I used a 20% off coupon. While I don't necessarily think it's 100% on the money, I do look at the trend to see if I'm going up or down in certain things. Most recently I've been focused on increasing or at least maintaining my lean muscle.4 -
Mehhh ...BUT...I eased into exercise this week! Hoping to do more this week.

I actually have a NSV this week! Since I've gone off sugar and carbs about five months ago I've noticed that my skin has changed (for the better). I've had skin tags and moles just dry up and fall off. I've learned that moles and skin tags are a form of benign cancer that feeds on sugar. I'm not eating sugar and carbs anymore so I'm starving anything that might be tempted to turn into cancer. I'm loving keto. Down another pound this week. Maybe I can break into the 50s this next week.

Weighing in a day late after being out of town for the weekend. I definitely was surprised by such a good loss this week! Didn't expect it, but happy to see it5 -
Hello. I’m just joining in. Hoping for some support and encouragement. My doc would like me to be at 120.... but my first goal is 150. And then I’ll reevaluate.

Welcome! This is a great place to start for support and encouragement! Just curious though, how tall are you? You must be pretty short for a Dr to tell you 120 is where you should be.2 -
I know this month is going to be hard because we're going to be visiting family for a couple of weeks and we just found out we might be moving. But here goes nothing.
SW: 134.1 @ 26.2% BF (3/27/18)
April 29: 129.6 @ 25% BF
GW: 120 would be awesome, not by the end of May, just over all. Maybe within a couple of months. I would be stoked if I could get to 125 by the end of May. That doesn't seem like much, but I'm at my typical plateau, so I expect it to be harder now.
May 6: 127.6 @ 24.4% BF

@mznik114 I went up .5 lbs this week too. I'm finally at the point where I don't get too discouraged by such a small increase at weigh in time. As a woman there are a lot of contributing factors to weight fluctuations within such short and regular weigh-ins. You are doing amazing!!!!!5

and if any of you are at all like me the occasional falling by the wayside even for an evening throws you out by pounds (three up after Sunday evening out!!) then it takes days of sainthood to get back to where I was, like yesterday, saintlike to make up for Sunday and not even half that added weight gone ahhhhh! Still it will go!!2 -

Thanks! I'm trying to get to where you are...not getting discouraged! Hopefully I'll get there soon. I just hate doing things properly and not seeing results on the scale. But you are so right...being a woman has it's contributing factors...ugh lol!2 -

The problem I have is that I'm not falling by the wayside... although I sometimes think I should since I'm gaining and losing every other week! Lol Maybe it's just the way my body does what it does. I am doing lazy keto at the moment so maybe I need to be strict again...who knows!
I'll be having birthday cake Friday so I'll prepare for those results...and if it's a gain, there will be no question as to how!2
