    @Gaynze I personally haven’t seen an increase in thirst (I was already drinking 1.5-2.0 gal water daily, which may account for the lack of thirst increase); however, liquid waste has increased. From threads on the topic (highly summarized), the decrease in carbs causes loss of places to store water but with so much physiological use for water, thirst increases. But because low carb is diuretic, more is lost as well. And the cycle goes on

    Thanks Zanyterp. I usually drink 2L a day excluding all the tea I have too.

    Other question I have is now that I’ve lost a wee bit of weight should I adjust my calorie intake and reset my current weight on mfp to reflect my current weight?

    Hi Tiffany,

    That’s great. Am rooting for you. 😀

    @Gaynze you are welcome
    i would not change it until at least another 10 lbs. based on feedback from others that i have seen, the first round off is misleading and changing at this point could set yourself up for failure. as with all things weight, YMMV; you may want to try it and see if it works for you

    I am finally back on Keto and new...hello! I was on Keto back in late 2016-early 2017 and went from 267lbs to 219lbs and then relocated to a new city and state and got depressed and gained it ALL back. After several false starts, I’ve officially finished week 1 of Keto and I already am feeling less hunger and down 6-7lbs.

    I have a pretty hard goal of making to 217 by March because I want to have elective surgery and my BMI has to be 34 or below.

    My mum is away on business travel so my family probably won’t have a big thanksgiving, so I’m not worried too much about that. Sugar is my main culprit and I’ve been doing really well. So I’ll just focus on continuing to ditch the sugar cravings and try and hit 255-256 by Nov 30th

    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!

    I’ve changed my weigh ins to Thursday’s now:

    Nov. 1st - 184.8
    Nov. 8th - 184.0
    Nov. 15th -
    Nov. 22nd -
    Nov. 29th -

    Hi, Guys!

    I am late checking in this month. I wasn't home last Sunday, and I have promised myself that I will only weigh on Sundays to keep from obsessing over scale movement.

    It looks like most everyone is off to a good start. Congratulations!

    Here I go...

    Wednesday 10/31 269.8

    Sunday 11/04 ???

    WOO! 150s!!! I know I will likely see 160 again, as I fluctuate, even when the overall trend is downward. I honestly didn't think I would see 159 today (yesterday was 160). One more pound until I'm halfway to my goal weight!!! I've been IFing (16-18 hours mostly, though I had a 22 hour one), which seems to have helped a lot, as it broke my stall and helped me drop four pounds in less than two weeks (which is HUGE for me... I'm more of a 1-1.5 per week max person).

    So I'm hoping for a nice loss this month, as I need to order my matron of honor dress by the end of November for my little sister's wedding in May. She said so long as the dress is from David's Bridal in "chianti" color, I can wear it. I've narrowed it down to three dresses, which I tried on one day last month, and all three look nice (and will look nicer when I'm another 20 pounds down). I think my favorite is the one on the right, which is complimentary with my bigger chest, plus I love the slit combined with one shoulder. The middle one is also a close contender, and has a neat back (mostly open in a tall rectangular shape, with a band of fabric going through the middle), makes my chest look good, and the cut hugs the body (in a flattering way) more than the others. The one on the left is nice as well. Welcome thoughts!

    Exactly the same weight for 2 weeks now but I’m not discouraged. For the last two weeks I have had multiple cheat days so I am happy I didn’t gain. I know if I didn’t have those cheat days I would have lost. Still lost 7 pounds in a month!

    I vote for the one on the left. If you are blessed with big girls the v line style on that one is very flattering. The one on the left can create a uni-boob situation. Just something to consider when trying dresses on

    It's been a pretty usual week with a big number on the scale. My NSV for the week: I have nothing to wear ;( I don't want to go shopping because I'm hoping to go down another size soon. I use to shop for what fits and now I want to shop for things I want to wear.

    I hear you, and thankfully there is no uni-boob situation with the single-shouldered dress! The one on the left fits and looks nice, but wasn't really anything special beyond the deeper V neck.

    Weight loss is moving much slower than when I first started back in March when I had 2-4 lb losses a week. I am in Ketosis and have been for a week or more. My lowest weight this week was 155, I thought of posting that weight but I figured today is the day that matters.

    Start weight 3/18 - 184lb
    Current weight - 156.4lb

    Nov 4: - 156.2lb
    Nov 11: - 155.7 (-0.5)

    Starting weight - 26 Sept - 154
    Current Weight - 12 Nov - 137
    Lost 17lb so far ( I weigh in stone so don't have oz measurement)

    Sunday 11/04. 140
    Sunday 11/11. 138
    Sunday 11/18
    Sunday 11/25

    I think I did pretty well over Halloween and bonfire night. Made some keto desserts and had some treat meals like a burger with keto bun and liver patty for bonfires. Heavenly strawberry cream pie for dessert. Kept within my limits.

    I hope to be at or lower than 9 stone 5 (132) by Xmas eve.

    I plan on cheating for the 3 days around Xmas, New years then my birthday on the 9th Jan. I know I'll gain a bit, but these things are once a year. I haven't anything worth cheating for until maybe Easter. In-between and after it's keto all the way. Anyone else cheating on Xmas?

    @chinatowninchina hope the visit goes well. and enjoy the food :)
    @larkspur94 Yup. Absolutely; there are pies that I make once or twice a year (Thanksgiving & Christmas). Will I make the usual 2 - 4 for each holiday? Probably not; but I will still make and eat one per holiday.
