NOVEMBER Monthly Challenge

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!
Starting weight 153
Current Weight 140
Goal Weight: 115-125

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

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 -

Today's Weight: 143.78kg/317lbs
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 -

I seem to take 3 steps forward and 2 back. But at least I'm moving forward, albeit slowly. Been sick this week and the cough syrup I suspect has sugar in it - but I have to sleep. The throat lozenges too, even though they are SF, have maltodextrin. For the first time in almost 2 months I only had trace amounts of ketones. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I need this sinus infection to be gone!4 -

New pant size is so much more important than a number on the scale. Congratulations, what a great achievement.4 -

awesome!!! congratulations!!2 -
oh yes, I've been eating tortilla chips and guacamole on the daily. However, I'm not going overboard about it. It's worth sharing and enjoying a meal out with my friends who are visiting from out of town.4

Thanksgiving Morning: 158
Just wanted to get on the record that, as of Thanksgiving morning, I am 20 pounds down, halfway to goal weight. I would love to hit 155 by Christmas (I'm a slower loser, and just had a whoosh, so I don't expect my body to drop much in the next few weeks). It seems most dishes this evening will be keto friendly, but I know I will partake in my cousin's mashed potatoes, as well as plenty of good vino (though not too much, as I am working tomorrow!).
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!4 -
Of all of the things I have to be thankful for this year, keto is at the top of my list. I
keto and I'm thankful I'm a member of this group. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 3 -
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.2

Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope you all enjoy the food you eat, especially if you choose to partake of all the non-keto goodies. I am going to have multiple splurges and wish the same to you

Original start weight: May 27, 175 lbs
Goal weight: not sure
NOVEMBER:
Sunday 10/28: 134.2
Sunday 11/04: 133.4 (-0.8)
Sunday 11/11: 132.8 (-0.6)
Sunday 11/18: 132.4 (-0.4)
Sunday 11/25: 129.8 (-2.6)
Total: -4.4
I'm getting really close to where I want to be, there is just this last big of jiggle I'm hoping will eventually go away. Originally my goal weight was 135, then 130 now I wonder if 125 is the right place for me? (I'm 5'6 but don't have a lot of muscle tone)
We will see what the future holds.2 -

Not sure how to explain the gain this week and maybe I shouldn't. I've been staying on program and only had little "cheats" but still within my macros. I was so hoping to reach my November goal. I guess I have 5 days of hardworking ahead of me to try to get as close as possible.1 -

Going back to a standard carb diet was not good. I felt hungry, starved, ravenous, and had so many cravings it was insane. Just had to keep eating and never was satisfied. Considering my peak day was somewhere in the 3600 calorie range from pure driven-to-eat feeling of starving.. I'd say I'm glad I have some keto breath this morning and know now that going back is just not an option for me.. ever, it seems.
That's fine, I actually do enjoy keto as a diet, especially after the carb cravings ended. With it getting more and more popular, there are even better options coming out. So while I am up in weight from before.. I've had my experience of going back to carb normal, knowing it won't work for me, and have that practical experience to pull from in the future. Really, 100 carbs total in a day is the limit before I feel utterly terrible. I can handle keto, and probably low carb long term.4 -

Thanksgiving was wonderful. Gained over a pound just from the one day of sweet potatoes with marshmallows, jello salad, and all the pie I could eat. I actually was pretty proud of myself for NOT feeling guilty afterward, because I knew I’d drop the weight again, and I did within 24 hours. I did not even attempt to work out this month, so I’m going to have to come up with a more realistic goal next month.2 -
Hey everyone. I’m back after a long hiatus. Decided to try out keto again. I did not eat thanksgiving dinner so that helped a lot. It helps that my hubby’s family doesn’t cook anything out of the ordinary (besides turkey), so I can eat “thanksgiving dinner” once I reach my goal weight and I won’t have to wait until next year’s thanksgiving lol
