Started Keto: May 9, 2018
Starting Weight: 210.4
(Loss of 25” and 24.6 Lbs!)
Next goals:
10/19 - 185 - SUCCESS!!! On the 18th I saw 185.8 for the first time since Aug 2016! Then on the morning of the 19th my body surprised me by dropping to 184.8!!! I’m so very happy!
12/17 - 175 - changing this to 179 as 175 seems unrealistic with my body’s current trajectory. I’ve been plateaued for quite a while.
1/01 - 179 (My goal is to not gain over Christmas!)
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145
End of October weight: 10/28 - 184.8! I’ve been holding steady at this weight for nearly 3 weeks now. At least it’s not gone up! But I would have liked to see 183.8. Lol. This month for sure! I’ve been a very good girl. No cheating in 21 days! The weight has to start moving soon.
Last year at this time I completely feel off the weight loss wagon and from November 1st to Jan 30 I gained 20 lbs. I’ve worked so hard this year to get that weight off and now my goal is to keep it off!!! No Christmas treats for me!!! My treat will be stepping on that scale in January and knowing I had the willpower needed to continue on my healthy journey!
I’ve changed my weigh ins to Thursday’s now:
Nov. 1st - 184.8
Nov. 8th -
Nov. 15th -
Nov. 22nd -
Nov. 29th -4 -
Howdy, all! I'm going to weigh in from start to finish the whole month, not just on the Sundays. I have cautious hope that I will break through the 50s this month even with the holidays. I was able to walk for several days this week and that made the scale move quite nicely. October numbers look like I lost 5 pounds for the month, but 4 of those were gained in my travels. They shed off and then some more so I'm very happy with the progress. I'm beginning to be able to wear some clothes that I haven't fit into for a few years and that's VERY encouraging! I'm not especially fashion-minded since I work from home, so yeah, I don't mind wearing old clothes. Not having worn them since 2013 they are new now!

I started Keto to reverse my Type II Diabetes. In that area I've already seen great success. Just 30 days in and my blood glucose is down 30+ pts and I'm consistently in the normal range when I check! Hooray!
Sadly, my weight loss has stalled/reversed. I was seeing the scale go down (slowly but surely) the first 2 weeks, then I got a stomach bug and lost my appetite for a week - hardly ate anything. Now my weight is creeping UP, and I'm nearly back to my starting weight! WHY?! I'm eating the same way I did the first 2 weeks, I'm in ketosis, my blood sugar is good... so I'm a bit perplexed. Do you think I reset my metabolism or something?
I'm super happy about the blood glucose results, but really hoped I'd have some exciting weight loss as well. Any ideas on how I can kick start this thing again and get things moving back in the right direction?1 -
It's my goal this month to get below 200 lbs. As of this morning, my weight is the lowest it's been since the spring of 2015! Thankfully we got Thanksgiving over with here in Canada in October, lol.

Firstly great news about the blood sugars, that's the best and most important bit. Your weight will go down, lots of us stick about the same weight for a while and suddenly do a 'wooosh!' of a pound or so. Just make sure you aren't having too much fat. what we are aiming to do is turn our bodies into 'fat burners' and not glucose burners which is what keto does but the fat we want it to burn is the stuff on our butts not fat you add to your meals! That being said you do need some but it's the low carb and the protein that are the key. Mainly you will get the fat you need through your meat, eggs cheese etc. Stick with it, it will work.

Hi all! I am finally back after traveling for most of October. It's been a tough few months. I regained a lot of my weight over the last 2-3 months, and recommitted myself in October but since I was out of the country for a bit, sticking to Keto wasn't always possible. That's okay, though. I had an amazing time traveling and the food was great and the people were great.
That being said, it's nice to be home and back to my routine and cooking for myself... except that I am traveling AGAIN! haha. This time only to San Diego and just for a week to visit friends (and I can cook my own meals here). I won't have any problems staying keto here. I don't have access to a scale so I weighed in yesterday before leaving.
Have a great November everyone!

I’m officially starting my keto reboot today, 11/3.
My longest keto streak was 7.5 months. I was way off track for the past two weeks and I know how that happened and what to avoid this time. With keto I have reversed my T2D, but I also want to have success with losing weight & changing my body comp. This time, my goal is to track and know where I stand with my macros instead of just doing lazy keto.

Start 184 pounds Sept 2017
I'd crept into my maintained 30 pounds off over the past month or so with one thing or another happening, mainly the wrong food and drink going in too frequently! This week I've been back to more of a normal life and have almost unpacked all the boxes! The only odd thing is that after living in an hotel for 6 weeks I'm now joining my husband for breakfast most mornings even though we are home, I've never been a breakfast person but what's not to like about bacon, egg and sausage!

I started IFing this past week to try and break my three week stall at 163, and it's paid off! Yesterday I was 162, and 160 today! I can't remember the last time I dropped two pounds at once! I even moved my scale from the bathroom tile to the wood floor and weighed again to make sure it wasn't playing a trick (anyone else do that?).
So yeah, 22 pounds to go! I plan to keep IFing most days for 16-18 hours and closely watching my macros. Fingers crossed I can say goodbye to the 160s by next week!9 -

No change on scale this week, but I think I'm having some water weight gain. I had to make a trip to ER after having some seafood. My NSV for this week: a friend who hasn't seen me in a while couldn't stop complementing me on how good I looked 😏9 -
@CarolynRSB yup, you are not the only one that moves the scale to make sure the floor being used didn't change in some way.3
