    Hey all! I've been yo-yoing between 184-195 for years. This past week I switched my diet to keto and have been steadily losing! I'm losing fairly slowly, but still figuring out my macros and how to stay within/around. Goal this month is to lose 8lbs.

    Current Weight: 183
    August Goal: less than 175
    Goal Weight: 140

    I Quit Coffee Today! I’ve done this several times in the past and I’ve always managed to slowly let coffee creep back into my daily habit. At least now I only drink it in the morning. When I was working (retired now) I drank coffee all day and even in the evenings. So, I don’t think it will be as hard to stop this time. I anticipate headaches and other symptoms.

    However, I never really had keto flu when I started keto seven months ago. Maybe I’ll have similar luck with coffee withdrawal syndromes???????? :# Anyone else want to quit something today?

    @stormywxs288
    I have quit......DAIRY! I picked up some non-dairy creamer for my decaf espresso in the mornings. Other than that, the hard part is going to be butter & cheese for sure. How many days does August have?!

    Although I have less inflammation in my knees than when I started keto, there's still a fair amount, to the point that I can't kneel all the way down onto my heels. There aren't any other foods I eat that could be causing it, so I'm giving up dairy in hopes to eliminate it as a suspect. Sorry but life without dairy isn't life for me. It may just be from old injuries but I'm determined to find out one way or another.

    For August I've tasked myself with getting to 10 proper push-ups. A few months ago I could NOT do a single one. I am currently up to 1/2 of a push-up. Lol

    Here's some 1st of the month motivation for you all.

    June and July were both terrible for me... I was doing lazy keto and that apparently does not work for me. Especially when I go on vacation and get kicked out of ketosis.

    I've been fasting this week, attempting to get my blood sugars back under control. So hopefully this month, doing (mostly) strict keto again, I will lose 8 lbs. That is my goal.

    Ok I'm in. I need to get back on track. I am almost back to my highest weight. I used keto before to lose the weight before and found tracking and accountability helped me before. Here I go again.

    @NikkiJRM I can't seem to add a column for myself on the monthly goal spreadsheet. Can you add me please? Thanks for making the sheet for us to track!

    I tried Keto two years ago and lost a lot. Now I’m heavier than I’ve ever been thanks to a stressful summer at a new job, and lots of eating out and alcohol. I bought all new size 6 clothes at the beginning of the summer because my clothes stopped fitting, and now I’m barely squeezing into the 6s. My goal for August is to be down to 130 pounds.

    Starting weight in August: 145
    Goal by end of August: 130

    down a few pounds since my return from holiday earlier this week and back under 150. Only one social event to contend with this coming week fortunately it's on Tuesday so I've a bit of time before next Sunday as there is noway I won't eat or drink that night! It's nice to know what you are going to do then you ain't disappointed in yourself, no failure just accept and move on!

    I can't lie. I am a little bummed about no weight loss this week. I am SO CLOSE to the 270s, and I have been really good with my decisions all week long. I don't understand. :( Oh, well. Maybe I'm in for a big whoosh next week. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

    Here goes nothing. This is the first time I've done KETO so I'm learning as I go. Some of the recipes I've tried so far are delicious so it shouldn't be to hard to stay on track.

    Good morning,

    A new month and a new travel schedule. This month again I will be spending a lot of my time on the road with a quick 4 day trip. I'm kinda getting tired of this because it disturbs my routine. On a positive note, I find myself rearranging my closet a lot lately- moving to the front items that I can start wearing, and getting the next size ready. I'm thinking that to celebrate the next milestone, I should perhaps burn some of my fat cloths 😈

    Start Weight (May 24,2018) 248.2 lbs

    GW for August 210.0 lbs

    Sunday 08/05 219.6

    Wrapping up August 08/31:

    I’m happy with my progress so far given that on 8/2 my weight had shot up to 211.1 thanks to unhealthy ballpark food and a million grams of Sodium LOL

    Today is day 5 of Carnivore for me and my appetite is gone. I mean, I sit down to eat and am full in no time. This morning I made two eggs, with 1.5 pieces of bacon and about .5oz of cheese and couldn’t finish. I mean, after 2 months on Keto I’m already fat adapted and had been doing IF like a champ, but when it came time to eat I could always finish my meal, so this is new. Oh well, I guess I’ll enjoy it while it lasts!

    I leave for vacation in 13 days and my goal on 6/1 was to see onederland by then. I’m so close I can taste it, but I just don’t think it’s going to happen. Who knows. I might even surprise myself.
