I’ve lost 1 pound since last week and a total of 7 pounds since starting 3 weeks ago! I can see slowly but surely it’s working. I also lost about an inch under and on my bust area. Only 9 more pounds to lose before my goal weight!

This is within my regular fluctuation, and I'm not surprised. We went to a Halloween party last night, and I had a few fun size Butterfingers (I only eat these once a year), and the chili at the party had beans and corn. Honestly, I'm happy I didn't gain more for this morning! I did an accidental 18 hour fast on Saturday, since I was working and was in a rush that morning, so just had my tea on me. That probably helped. Last I ate was at 8pm last night, so I'm going to go for a 16 hour fast today before eating. I need to hit the store and do some meal prepping for the week; frozen chicken thighs are defrosting in the sink now.
I just recalculated my macros to drop my net carbs to 20g, so we shall see how that helps. I don't plan to worry much if I go over due to vegetables, because I would rather go over and get in my broccoli, spinach, zucchini, etc., than not. See you all next week!3 -

Doesn't look like I will be meeting my October goal, but it's OK. As long as the weight is trending the down, I'm happy. I was on the road last week and again this week, so my goal is to continue to find ways to stay on program, make time for working out, and set boundaries with my boss (i.e just because I'm on the road does not mean I have to be on my computer 24hrs a day).
People that I haven't seen in a while are definitely noticing the change and i'm getting a lot of wanted attention
Now my goal for November is to resist the urge of buying clothes "just because they fit", and put some money aside , so I can go shopping for things I'm happy to wear. By the mean time, I found enough in my closet in my current size to get thru the next 20 lbs.

Monday 10/1- 180.3. Blood glucose 91, BODY fat 45.1%
Sunday 10/07- 177.5. Blood glucose 79
Sunday 10/14- 176.3 BG 84, BF 44.6%
Sunday 10/21- 176.3 BG 76 BF 44.4%
Sunday 10/28- 176.4 Measuements- Lost 2.5" since 9/26
Disappointed again with scale reading. Second week staying basically the same. Total loss for Oct is 4# and I can't be unhappy with that. However, if I'm to believe most keto posts, this 4 pounds is just difference in water weight between eating carbs and eating low carb.
But I am noticing my clothes, bracelets, rings feel looser and 4#s wouldn't usually make that much difference. So far I'm not seeing much difference between how I did on counting calories only and how I'm doing on keto. I'm committed to keto at least until the end of the year.
Those of you that have been doing this longer, did you see similar results when first starting?

I over ate them just as I over ate regular goodies. Whether it was sweet stuff or snack stuff like pork rinds versus Doritos, 1 was not enough. I made a keto mug cake one night and after making and eating a second one a few minutes later...I never made another.2 -

It's been a good month as I reached my initial goal weight of 135. Now that I'm here I see I have a little was to go. I'll see if 130 is a better place for me and then go for there. I'm going to try and practice not tracking every single day to see if I can eat more intuitively. Maybe just track my food every couple of days to check in and make sure im still on track.

Hey all,
Last check in for the month. I celebrated a birthday on Friday. We went out to dinner. I ate absolutely all the things this week. Although I enjoyed the eats, I am looking forward to Keto tomorrow.
Also, I was hired to work in my kids' schools part time. I start tomorrow, YAY! I'm happy to get out of the house during the day. I enjoy being busy. I'm ready for November (I think).
September net: +5.2 lbs. YIKES!2 -

Happy with where I’ve ended the month. I was 142.6 Saturday, which I almost used as my weigh in as I had a planned cheat night Saturday night. The pizza, Dr Pepper, cheesy bread and cupcake were worth the overnight gain. LOL
Biggest success was in size. I finally bought new pants and I’m 1 size away from my goal!! I successfully fit into a size 10 jeans today (all of my jeans at home are 14’s). All of the 12’s I tried were too big. That felt wonderful. So I bought a size 10 and a size 12 work pants (girl clothes are dumb) and a few new shirts. I am not disappointed!! ❤️❤️❤️5 -

I was honestly expecting a stall this week, because while I kept my macros in check, I went over on my calories twice, and by a good 500 calories or so.
I am going to wait until 11/1, but will be changing my macros again...I want to boost my protein just a bit, because I start heavy weight lifting (Stronglifts 5x5), and will need it. So my ratio will be 70/25/5.

Not sure how I managed that gain; especially with having been lower all week. Oh well
Hopefully I do better next month and can actually get down to where i was hoping to hit this month. At least I had a positive NSV on Saturday in that I did not eat all the desserts at the Halloween party. I did have a cookie and a slice of pumpkin cheesecake roll; but i did not take a slice of cake (for the frosting, since that is the best part of cakes) and did not even get the kids apple crisp because i knew i would eat bowls of it)1 -
I know it's a few days late, but I FINALLY got below 163 pounds (162.5 this morning)! I hit 163 three weeks ago, and had been oscillating between 163-165 since. So, yay! Hope this is the beginning of another few pounds off... I would LOVE to be comfortably in the 150s by Thanksgiving.6

I'm okay with this because I broke and got out of ketosis this weekend. I know it'll come back down... but also I've been SOOOO tempted lately. Mostly because I've been lazy and haven't wanted to cook for myself so I've been eating rather a lot of non-keto foods but just trying to pick off the carbs... with moderate success. I'm going to get back into it though and I'm gong to be good! I know it's only October, but bikini season is getting closer and closer! Gotta stay focused!!!!3 -
