I am going completely dairy free. I might have some nuts issues as well. I will be checking those out this month. I stalled for a while but made it to 236 which was 4 pounds heavier than my July goal weight of 232-228. Cheers to a new month:

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.

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

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!1 -

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.4 -
Hey y'all...I just found this I hope I'm not to late to join.

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.3 -

No scale victories to claim today, so I will remain radio silent on that topic. My NSV is that I’ think I’ve kicked the caffeine habit. Tomorrow will be one week without coffee. However, it didn’t come without a cost. I can say with confidence I’m over the side-effects of going cold turkey off the java juice but I’m still working on the habit part. I still have cravings that I’ve been suppressing with food. I know I will be able to stop my bad food habits in time, but it is not helping me get rid of my last ten pounds.
The trade-off of extra pounds has been lower blood pressure. A good trade for me because my BP was beginning to become a problem. Although I’ve heard there are some benefits to caffeine, it just wasn’t working out for me. Now if I can just get the Dairy Queen magnet in my car removed I can get back to ketosis and maybe a scale victory next week.

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 😈

YAAAASSSS!!! I think this is a must! I'll join you!3 -
Things are moving in the right direction. I've already met my August goal! LOL That's the beauty of not setting a poundage. It's not much but I'll take it as opposed to the stagnation I've had for the last three months. We'll see how much farther I can go, it's only the first week and a short one at that from the last weigh-in 5 days ago at the end of July.
I've been very strict about logging my food and keeping the net carbs under 20 per day. I've been getting a lot of exercise walking, gardening, cooking, and riding my horse. I believe I have broken through the plateau of 160 and it's taken a lot of dedication and discipline. I've learned that I can't be sloppy about it. Keto on, my friends!

I can't say I had a "whoosh" but I definitely lost a bit in the last week! And I continue to drop every morning. My goal was 150 by end of August and at first I thought that overly ambitious. I don't anymore, given that I'm within 3 pounds of it now! I was shocked, to be honest, when I weighed myself this morning. Holy crap. I haven't been this close to the 140's since 2011. I'm less than 10 pounds away from my lowest recorded weight as an adult (145). I'm shocked. Absolutely shocked!
My next goal, because weight loss seems to be going along swimmingly, is to start exercising more regularly. I've put it off to simply focus on eating right and getting things in balance. Now, it's time. Walking for short periods isn't enough anymore. I set myself a goal of 75 miles walked in the month of August (a goal I've set myself twice before in the past years) but that's not realistic given my schedule. BUT I can definitely work on exercising at home more! Time to bust out my Jillian Michaels (on mute - anyone else annoyed by her voice after seeing the videos a few times?) and get my butt moving.5 -

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.
