NOVEMBER Monthly Challenge

Narrowed my goal range from 140-150 to 140-143, which is working. BUT the little girl in me (who has been fat for sixty years) really really wants to see the numbers keep going down. Her voice argues that there are still pockets of fat; and maybe the skin will keep shrinking, so "how's about if we shoot for 135, yes, yes, yes???"
Besides, size 8 is now slightly too big and size 6 is really fun for a 5'9" woman to think about. Forgive me for enjoying this so much. I wish everyone else the happiness that comes from eradicating a lifelong addiction. Keto is my fairy godmother.
I'm not tracking food anymore. Keto keeps me from binging. It only takes content control (YES: protein, veggies and fat / NO: carbo-horrific trigger foods). So if I watch what goes into my mouth, everything else falls into place without much challenge.

Went on vacation last weekend and didn’t have access to a scale, so I’m using my Friday weight as my starting point this month. Gained 2 pounds while on vacation, lost it all by Friday and then gained back a bit this weekend from lack of water. It happens
I did buy my “goal pants” and surprisingly, I can get them on and zipped, but they are super tight and I have squishy parts hanging over the top (and I definitely couldn’t sit in them). Just a little bit more to go!
My goal for the month was to exercise 3x a week and I’ve yet to do actual planned exercise. But I’ve been on my feet all week so I at least don’t feel awful about it. Maybe this week. Maybe.

Woot! The scale moved down! Yesterday was also a measurement day for me (I weigh every Sunday, and measure every other Sunday)...Ive lost a total of 8" from my hips, and 3" from each thigh! This more than anything is very exciting!
The 160s are soooo close!5 -

and that's it folks! Not sure what will happen over the next few weeks as we're off to Southern India on Sunday and not back till the 9th December, that may well be one miserable weigh in!
Also I'm going to post the December Challenge before I leave so don't get too confused when it's there early!
So; welcome to everyone new and I hope everyone enjoys the challenge and the support from this group.6 -

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?3 -
@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.2 -

Comparing 18 July to now.. it's night and day. I was starving at 2,676 calories and starting to feel lack of carbs. Yesterday (12 Nov) I splurged on a chocolate bar (85% dark, still keto friendly) and 1/3 cup of eggnog, which I didn't realize was so stupidly sweet.. and still ended my day at 1,906 calories and satiated the entire day.5 -

I am back on track but didn't weigh myself or post my weight to start November - and I am up 5 lbs. It's not water weight. I could go on about all the reasons why.... but the fact remains I need to take care of business!

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 - 183.8
Nov. 22nd -

Hey beautiful people, I don't know if logging my food for the next week is going to be very realistic. Visitors start arriving tonight, another a few days later, they leave and then more visitors three days after that. However, I would like to stay this.
The discovery of Keto and this group has been a blessing I couldn't have imagined. I have regained control of something that I felt very helpless about. Not only have I lost weight, but the energy and clarity that Keto brings has been life changing. I no longer talk myself out of things, I just do it. I don't feel foggy and lethargic, I feel focused and excited. At the risk of sounding dramatic, I feel reborn. I feel in control. I feel happy. I feel very, very happy.9 -

Friday 11/30:
The scale read 158 on Friday, so at this point I consider myself halfway to my goal!!! I'm feeling really good about my progress, and looking forward to losing the last 20. This week will be difficult, but with IFing, some workouts, and time, I will not let myself regress for more than the time it takes to shed the water weight.
Speaking of IF, it always seems hard the first week after dropping several pounds. My hunger is up a bit more than usual, but I know it will change once I hit a plateau. Today we are doing a friendsgiving dinner, so I am IFing in preparation for that. I stopped eating/drinking at 8:30pm, and we are due over at our friends' place at 4:30pm. I know they will have the wine and cheese out, so that will make it a 20 hour fast for me. Should help to combat the calories and carbs I take in. Speaking of which, my green tea is ready.2 -

Not too concerned over the weight today. Was at 142.8kg earlier in the week, and then did my 2 heavy carb days to see how I could handle recovery. Coming in at just 100g up in weight after those 2 days is fine by me. My first carb days in 125+ days and back on track, testing completed. Since I'm so close to my yearly goal, I'm not sweating the small stuff.3 -
