HAPPY CANADA DAY EVERYONE! Today will be my 54th day on keto. And will also be my very first ever “cheat” day. Nothing too crazy, I’m still staying away from wheat/rice/processed sugars. I’m going to eat a bit of fruit and maybe a bite of poutine (a BITE not a serving) and have some sweet sauce on my meat tonight to enjoy the celebrations for my beautiful country. Have a wonderful day!

SW 256.5 1/06/2018
GW 180 lbs
July goal: 205-210 lbs.
I took a trip to Japan where I was eating and drinking every night. I was worried about gaining weight. Last time I weighed myself was June 11th at 214 lbs. I weighed myself Thursday June 28th after coming back and was 225! I got back on my keto diet and as of this morning I was at 216.6. I was going to the gym over there and doing lots of walking. I tried to keep it keto the first two days but I was *kitten* it. I enjoyed Japanese food and drinking with my friends. I thought that damage was gonna be much greater but I’m happy to be back on my diet and not having to worry about carbs so much.

I say, "good for you" regarding the bolded. I've not been to Japan or any place really exciting but my approach is quite similar on the few special occasions I have every year. I'm quite convinced they keep me on track the other 95% of my meals. I'm not into "carb binges" but I do enjoy all foods and therefore don't have an "I'd never eat that ever" or "I can't eat that ever" thought, language or behavior.4 -
I am so happy to have found this group!!! I am pretty new to Keto, and I, like many of you, have a couple weeks of vacation coming up this month. Having so little experience with Keto and so many days with less control over what I eat makes me a bit nervous. However, I pledge to myself (and to all of you!) to do the best I can this month. I don't know if I am ready to start setting goals more specific than "lose some weight" yet. I don't want NOT reaching some specific number to disappoint me and cause me to quit. So my goal for July is to weigh less than 285 by the end of the month.

I'm still in awe of how easy and wonderful this keto journey has been! I'm losing weight, eating food that I love, even when I'm being lazy, and still the weight is coming off.
I also did my measurements yesterday: 1.5 inch off my waist, and .5 lb off each: bust, hips, bicep, and thigh! I've been trying on old and new clothes, finding smaller sizes to fit me and feeling so excited to be able to get into those smaller sizes I always told myself I'd get back into ONE DAY.
That day is here! And I look forward to keep going! Keto on everyone!

Here we go, July. My goal for this month is the same as @lcantrell65 ... to weight less than 158.4. I love that goal! Even if it's just half a pound, I've met my goal! I would very much like to say that I have a goal of reaching 156 by the end of July, but my lips are sealed and I will not utter those words. I don't want my new scale to know, just in case it develops some sort of animus.
Keto Jan SW: 175

Hey everyone! I had such a fantastic last week of June! Yesterday I had my 1st annual Summer Kick-Off Party on the Lake. So many people came to enjoy food and swim fun. I cooked A LOT. Thinking back, I didn't have a plan regarding what I would eat, or even how much. I did eat a lot, mostly chicken and hand-pressed burgers. I'm glad I was able to just enjoy the day with friends and food without being stressed over it. I hopped on the scale fully expecting to weigh at least 5lbs more than what I did, but not the case.
In other news, my Dr's office called back, and my Total cholesterol is still slightly elevated, and so is my LDL. Not so much that they wanted to discuss meds or anything, but they said they'd check again in 6m, and so exercise more, and eat healthy (something about whole grains and low fat...yeah okay).
This week 3 of the 4 kids start summer programs and camp. I get an entire 2 hours in the morning with my 13yo to get to the gym, so that's the plan!!
Goal for July, stay between 175 & 180

Not my first rodeo with Keto and looking forward to results/ accountability with cheering others on. I work second shift in the ER and graduate nursing school in December. My goal is to be a fit operating room nurse (that can tolerate long standing hours) so I can help heal others!
I'm currently 183 lbs (5'2"), started at 197 the beginning of June. Unfortunately, I'm lacking a thyroid (total thyroidectomy 2014) so my weight caught up on me fast.

My goal is to just stick to logging and weighing in. I'm not pressuring myself to lose weight while I struggle with stressful life decisions. Just keep the habits going and tread water/ not gain... til I'm ready to go again.6 -
Hi everyone!
I'm new to this group, but I've been low carb for 15 years. I started trying to do keto seriously in February this year, and I'm happy to report that June was the first month that I got my macros under an average of 20g carbs per day.
Jan 2018 - 2,790g = 90g per day
Feb 2018 - 1,077g = 39g per day
Mar 2018 - 856g = 27g per day
Apr 2018 - 683g = 23g per day
May 2018 - 787g = 25g per day
Jun 2108 - 569g = 19g per day
For July, I am setting the goal of 11g per day on average or a total of 350g of carbs for the month.
I'm not terribly focused on weight loss but would like to lose 2.5 lbs during the month of July.
Good luck everyone!
