Welcome to all the newbies! Stick with us, we don't bite!

@eminator, Have you checked your inbox? I sent you a message.

@SheilaBoneham, If I was not on Keto, I would not have thought to ask, Do you think it could be electrolyte imbalance? When you said drinking lots of water, that could be throwing things off and causing you to hold fluid. Potassium and probably also magnesium could be needed. You can buy flavored electrolyte drops in the grocery store.

@TonyB0588, I know it's frustrating, as this has been going on for a while, but as close as you are to your goal your body is going to battle with you. How's that for a run on sentence? Lol you'll have to do some very careful, introspective diet tweeking. Consider everything that you eat and you may find the culprit hindering your success.

@quiltingjaine, Thank you! I'm thrilled! 50g of carbs is my absolute limit. I found that out 3 weeks into Keto when I ate some sushi. Rice is the carb devil!

@brightresolve, Thanks so much! Years ago I used to read that as people get older, they need to have a little more weight (fat) on them. Why? I think that has changed now. Now, many people as they age are much more active and more physically fit. I have always been fit and strong throughout my life. The past 8 years, helping to take care of Grands and many injuries has taken a toll on me. I NEED to get all of this excess weight off and get back to the exercise that I so dearly love.

@jerier, Thank you! Yes. This journey is about ME. My friend did tell me she lost 20lbs. She wants to lose 30. She can't get past the 20. Now she wants to know what l'm doing. Figures, huh?

@denicaswrex, I'm glad that you are gaining insight to the why and the how of your relationship with food and what caused you to gain. It's never just one thing that gets us to where we are. (((Hugs)))

@AJB1014, You did a fantastic job while on vacation! I think it's good to slow the loss down once you reach a certain point, but not lose your focus. So, your planning is on point!

@aayruda, Smh. You are not a moron.

@GrandmaJackie, I'm coming to your house to throw out the snacks. Lol

@allmannerofthings, I reset my macros all the time. I should say manipulate them for the result that I want. I'm on Keto and use a keto calculator to set my calories and macros. I only want an average loss of 1 to 2 lbs per week. Sometimes it's a little more or less, but I don't want my daily calorie level to be below 1300. If I'm hungrier I eat more. Only if I'm not that hungry will I eat less than 1200 calories but my macros goal must be met. I changed my calorie level this evening. It's always a marginal drop. It's now 1387 down from 1398 which was down from 1400. Very slow descent, but I continue to get results.

Okay, my eyes are crossing, lol. I gotta go to bed. More tomorrow. Good night/good evening/good afternoon/good morning, whichever applies

Did my 16:8 Intermittent fast. Everything went well today. I am hoping to get back to my most recent lowest weight soon which was 190.0 . Best wishes to you all. I just want you all to know how much you always inspire me…….
