Day/Weight/Comment

10/15 = 141.7 (up .4 from yesterday) Spent the day at a Corn Maze/Pumpkin Patch, no healthy choices so did small portions. Expected a small bump up from this.

10/16 = 141.9 (up .2 from yesterday) Ugh! Not off to the best start this round, went out for Asian food last night, again just kept to small portions, a slice of scallion pancake and a small portion of sesame chicken with rice. I have Cookbook club tomorrow night (dinner party where everyone cooks & brings a dish from the selected cookbook) so trying to keep my nutrition really tight today in anticipation of another bounce up from that on Thursday morning's weigh-in. I have day 73 of 90 workout on the schedule for today as well, looking forward to a good sweaty workout. Lots of water today, trying to flush out the sodium from the previous days.

10/17 = Did not weigh in. I weigh in 1st thing in the morning and yesterday as soon as I got up was dealing immediately with some compulsive issues with my daughter that happened while she was supposed to be sleeping the previous night. She took everything with a battery (night light, alarm clock, her cell phone), removed the batteries, which she hid, and then put everything in her trash can, which she filled with water. Not a great start to the day but the bright side is, she was not in an agitated state, was actually in a decent mood, so while the medication is not helping 100% with her OCD at least she was not experiencing anxiety along with it. "Look for the positives in each day, even if some days you have to look a little harder".

10/18 = 144.0 (up 2.1 lbs) I know this is a not a real gain and I was expecting this bump up as last night was Cookbook Club - so not upset by this, it will drop down back down in a couple of days. The cookbook for last night was Magnolia Table from Joanna Gaines (from HGTV's Fixer Upper). I made her recipe for Flatbread Pizza with Prosciutto and New Potatoes and also her Layered Arugula Salad with Pear Vinaigrette. Both were really good, the salad will definitely make again. It has arugula, pears, pomegranate arils, candied walnuts, & goat cheese, along with a tangy vinaigrette, just had some leftovers for lunch, delicious! The other dishes were Baked Bruschetta with Tomato, Basil & Fontina, Baked Chicken with Bacon Bottom and Wild Rice, Scalloped Potatoes, Gruyere & Asparagus Quiche, Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Pecans, & Balsamic Reduction + Lemon Pie, Chocolate Chip Cookies & Shortbread Cookies. A 2 lb. uptick on the scale, NOT SURPRISING But, it was my only meal of the day and everything was a polite portion, not binge eating. Lots of water today, along with yoga and my typical food choices and tomorrow the scale should drop some of this. A fun evening and we only do these 5-6 times a year, so I am glad I was able to partake, guilt free and be right back on track today with the choices I make. I'll end on a super positive note...wore new pair of pants last night which were a size 4!!!!!! "Work out, eat well, be patient, your body will reward you."

Age: 46
Height 5’11”
Historical SW (January 2015): 245 lbs
10 Days initial SW: 220.0 lbs (1/14/18)
Current SW (10/14/2018): 206 lbs, BF% = 17.1
Ultimate GW: 179 lbs (and 12% BF)

R56 SW = 206, SBF% = 17.1
Goals for this round: 202

Day/Weight/Comment

10/15: 205.0 (-1.0), BF% = 16.9 (-0.2)
10/16: 203.6 (-1.4), BF% = 16.7 (-0.2)
10/17: 203.0 (-0.6), BF% = 16.6 (-0.1)

10/18: 203.6 (+0.6), BF% = 16.7 (+0.1). Coming back to this board has been a process for me. I've been gone for 12 cycles or so, and it's been interesting. I battled sugar, I'm fighting for my mobility (potential knee replacement surgery), but most of all I struggled with shame. My addict behavior was in full-swing, I'm pretty sure I'm just below the "depression" threshold, and I'm prepping myself for the grieving process associated with my knee and how that will play out with basketball. I ate out at a FANTASTIC bbq place for lunch yesterday (stayed pretty keto-friendly with my half-rack of short ribs), and my wife brought me some lamb for dinner (with buffalo cauliflower, and spaghetti squash/mixed veggies). I've been half-a$$ing keto for the past 3 months, but I'm back in the saddle as of 10/14. If you read this far, PLEASE feel free to yell at me for being scarce/distant/completely disappearing. I'm not going to find it disheartening or unmotivating. I've missed you all terribly. I didn't feel like I deserved to be here. I'm trying to feel differently about it right now.

10/16, 222 Went to Georgia for a work conference last week, ate so much Southern cooking. Also was on my period. Hopefully most of this is bloat and will fall off quickly.

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 - 80.1kg, I expected my weight to go up a little. Bit too much sodium at dinner. I’m okay with this though! Still going strong with IF, eating 1200cals and drinking at least 1.5L of water. I’m feeling incredibly motivated and excited for this round
10/16 - 79.5kg !!! I feel like I’ll plateau around this number for a few days but happy to see it come down, and feeling much less bloated than yesterday
10/17 - 79.6kg, expected! Okay with it! I haven’t had coffee for two days and I’ve noticed I’ve not been so ‘regular’, which is probably contributing as well
10/18 - 79.5kg
10/19 - 79.4kg, happy with this considering I went a little over calories last night and probably had a bit too much sodium. I drank so much water though, over 2L!

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15: 193.3! I’m very pleased with myself right now. Will be doing a lower body workout and yoga today.
10/16: 194. Bleh. Did yoga for zombies yesterday because I was short on time. Doing Day 1 of the 30 days of yoga today. Also going for a run. Did a little low intensity water walking with my mom, who has health issues. Hoping the scales will go back down tomorrow.
10/17:194.4. Ate garbage, didn’t get enough sleep, feel like garbage. Youtube was down when I was about to start my 30 days of yoga, and by the time I found the workaround, it was too late in the night. Will start it tonight after strength training. Bleh. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
10/18: 194.4. Got more sleep. Will hopefully see a loss tomorrow. Day 2/30.

I hope you dont mind but I will be starting on Sunday if that is okay I have no friends on here so I am truly just starting out and need as much help and support as I can get. I got this, I have too.

@conniev2018 welcome - this is a very supportive group - I find it very helpful reading everyone's posts and knowing that others are suceeding through the same struggles that I have.

Count me in for my first round.

Round 56: SW 208.8# EW :
This round I'll concentrate on: more home cooking,  less eating out.

HW 236.8#
SW 208.8#
CW 208.8#
GW 200#
UGW 150-175

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15/ 208.8#. I found that 19 ounces of squash with a little butter and sugar is about 300 calories. Very filling and helped my stay under my calories.
10/16 207.6#. (-1.2) Started my day tired. Met someone for lunch, so I splurged. I stayed under my allotted calories for the day. 🤩
10/17 208.2# (0.6#) still down half a pound from the start. Not going to fret about it. Got some exercise in. Went over my allotted calories, but stayed under 2,000 so I'm good with that.
10/18 208.4# (0.2#) tried to drink more water today. I've been very bad about water and have only been drinking about half. 3rd day in a row for eating out. I made an awesome salad! It tastes so much better when you haven't eaten one for a while. My new favorite way to eat a salad is with a spoon!! 🥄🥗

ROUND 56 (Round 3 for me)
5’5” 65 y/o Texas Lady
SW 178 lb.
GW 140 lb.
Third week on Keto WOE and impressed with decreased arthritis hip and shoulder pain. Yay!
Round 54 – SW 178 lb. down to 171.8 lb. (6.2 lb. loss) This was my beginning of eating keto and tracking calories.
Round 55 – Finished at 170.0 (1.8 lb. loss)

Day/Weight/Comment
10/15 169.2 This is the number I wanted to see yesterday, but today’s good, too. It was raining when I woke up for my walk with Thor (my GSD). So, we slept another 1½ hours, and it was still raining. I’ll have to exercise inside today. Thor can run in the yard, and I’ll dry him off. I’m happy I mowed my yard and burned my brush piles before the rain started. I'd rather work outside, but I'll bake oatmeal cookies for my thin husband, cook Turkey Cabbage Stew to portion out and freeze, and do my husband's ironing so he'll look well cared for. After the rain stops—plant winter garden. Praying for a blessed day for all you fellow losers! I love being a (weight) loser.
10/16 168.4 Unexpected! I hope it doesn’t come back tomorrow. I have lunch at the women’s club meeting today—good time to practice restraint in preparation for the 10-day tour in New England states next month.
10/17 167.4 Really? Just to be sure, I got on the scale again, and verified the number. I’m keeping it! Thor and I did our 3+ mile walk this cool morning. The side is kinda blown out on my right walking boot, but I didn’t wear my newer pair because I realized this lets my toes spread and prevents the pain from my Norton’s Neuroma (small tumor between my toes). The Lord blesses me in mysterious ways. 😊 I think I can credit this keto WOE for less arthritis pain in my back/hips and shoulder. Even if I wasn’t losing weight, it’s worth being able to get more done without pain.
10/18 167.4 I’m good with no change today. Didn’t get to walk today, but I had a great day hanging out with friends. I turned down sweets, but had a glass of wine. I hope it doesn’t haunt me tomorrow.
