    Hello Keto Mates, Last Sunday of the Jan 2019 is came for me. I am from India so I am the first one to log in the details!! Four Sundays went really fast.

The weight is like up and down think I'm in Plateau but I am happy the way I am going. This month I had a cheat day on Jan 1st from then I gain weight and loss that with Alternate day fasting!! A new week is back hoping this will have some changes in my food & Weight.

    I'm female, age 25, 5' 5''
    Starting weight -154 (Sept 26th)
    Current weight -130.8
    Goal weight -around 119 (depends on image and haven't done any weights/resistance yet)

    Monday 12/24 - 131 (Morning of cheat time start, which lasted 9 days. More than planned as gifted a lot of chocolate and cider, so also had cheat meals each day. Didn't track after this day)

    Tuesday 01/02 - 139 (Went back on here and yep, 8lb gain. Mostly water but 2/3lb is fat as went overboard on kcals. I found I preferred keto alternatives in the end. Potatoes are so boring in any form. Rice, pasta and noodles also boring. Cauliflower mash and rice is so much better. Zoodles are great for noodles and spaghetti. Good keto recipe for other pasta. Bread I still enjoyed. Had toast with jam each day. Need to try keto bread recipe for toast. The overall feel of carbs and sugar though wasn't good. I felt crummy and towards the end my headaches were coming back, so was good to end before the migraines kicked in. I was also looking forward to healthy food again. <3)

    Sunday 01/06 - 136 (Water weight going down)

    Sunday 01/13 - 137 (Cheated on the 9th, my b-day, and for a couple days after. Water weight went back up, making weight 139 and I also struggled to go back. Had a keto day on 11th, tried making keto bread which failed and being that I spent hours on it I ate regular toast with jam from frustration. I got myself in the habit of snacking with the cheating so just felt hungry too much. Plain Weetabix in milk next night before managing to hold off any carby snacks other days. Those snacks still totalled to moderate low-carb though so wasn't too big a hit. )

    Sunday 01/20 -132 (I was 134 yesterday so wasn't expecting the 2 pound drop. May go up 1 tomorrow cause water, who knows. Getting better with the snacks, though did give in to having chicken and nuts last night which I'm logging in today's diary. Goal this week is not to snack at night, going to bed earlier would likely help. The cheating really messed up my eating habits, which were easy before.)

    Sunday 01/27 -130.8 (I've changed my scale to pounds instead of stone, so I have the 1/10 lb next to it now, in 0.2 increments. Snacking not a problem now as hunger has gone. Did try another bread recipe, but it was soon after waking and I read the egg count wrong haha. 4 whole eggs and 2 egg whites (separate the eggs). Ended up doing 2 egg whites and 6 egg yolks. Shouldn't bake while tired apparently.)

    Thursday 01/31.

    @chadrad2015 Don't worry about calories starting out. Just eat when hungry. Eggs, meat, cheese, butter, cream. Have these as or with snack or more in meals to fill up. Drink plenty of water.

Im not hungry at all but dont want to lose any mucle mass. I just want to lose 1.5-2 lbs a week at MOST so im going to take a big look at week 3 and see what i did there. Awesome start though I feel great!!!!

    @Kiki_StartingOver

    What an awesome start. I was wondering if you knew about the companion spreadsheet Nikki maintains for our forum. Here’s a link to it. Check it out. It would be a great place to show-case your success. It has served as motivation and accountability for me and others.

    Sunday 01/27: 160.8

    No loss this week, but 4.4 lbs down is pretty great! I also realized that I have been following keto for 10 months now! I always had a tendency toward lower carb, but often people would scoff and think I was just crazy or following a fad diet.

    Now I know the science behind this WOE (big thanks to 2 Keto Dudes podcast) and the importance of fat for health (physical and mental) and satiety. I am a PhD student in neuroscience, so understanding the research and the scientific basis of ketosis/ketogenic lifestyle (and the complete lack of scientific support for the high carb/low fat Standard American Diet) has been incredibly important for me.

    Looking forward to February with you all!

    Started Keto: May 9, 2018
    Starting weight: 210.4
    Lowest Weight this Year (2018): 183.8
    (Loss of 25” and 26.6 Lbs!)

    Achieved goals so far:
    See 185 by 10/19 - SUCCESS!
    Lose 25 Lbs - SUCCESS! 10/18
    Keep Lost weight OFF during this Holiday Season - Nope, I didn’t keep it all off, but I also didn’t gain it all back like last year, so I consider that a win!
    See 179 before Valentine’s Day (or at least before March 2019)
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145

    I’m back from vacation and ready to get back on the keto wagon! (Oh keto how I have missed you! I promise to not cheat again for a VERY long time!!!)

    I want to start the year by working towards Valentine’s Day!

    Sunday 01/06 - 193.4 lbs - whoops! Vacation hurt more than I thought it would! But I know I’ve got some bloating left from the travel so hopefully next week I will see a big drop. :smile:
    Sunday 01/13 - 189.8 Now that’s more like it!!!
    Sunday 01/20 - 191.4
    Sunday 01/27 - 191.0
    Thursday 01/31 - 190.0 no progress this month. I’ll need to be stricter in February
