Is it too late to join? This is finally a challenge I think I can excel at!!
Have been fluctuating in the 180-190's for years and only lost significant weight when it coincided with a relationship situation. I've been single for about 7 years and I want my weight loss to be all my own and not dependent on situations in my life (although I understand they can affect it).
At any rate, I'll put all the stats here that I'm hoping are the ones you'll need and good luck to everyone so far!

Hi everyone! I know I’m late, but for those of you who are friends on MFP- maybe you noticed I’ve logged in daily for over a week..... time for a reset! So I was doing keto in January, but I lost about 7 lbs in two weeks, and then all of a sudden it wasn’t budging. I blamed shark week... but then it came and went and nothing. Then I blamed stress..... but that’s just always a thing (I’m getting my PhD and my dad is super sick and yeah it’s just always stressful to be me.) Then I realized I think I was eating too much fat AND too many carbs.
So I had a job interview on the last Thursday in January and it was out of town and basically from that Tuesday-Friday, I ate like garbage. Tons of carbs and I regret nothing. Then started the reset.
I started by only eating meats and not even allowing myself any dairy (my staple). I did that for about two days solidly, then added dairy again, then other fats and low carb vegetables. And it’s been over one week and I’m down 5 lbs and feeling better! I honestly don’t know what it was last time, I really do think it’s because I was still eating too many carbs. I was just eating the regular things and not paying attention to nutrition info, only to the carbs and if it was a lot, I’d still eat it I’d just tell myself to only have a little bit (I have no self control, that for sure didn’t happen).
Even though the weigh in looks like it only went down 5 lbs, I saw 159 during the week. So I know it’ll happen again!

I know we normally post our weight on Sunday. However, for those of you who haven’t heard this before, I have an obsessive compulsion disorder (OCD) to weigh myself at least once a day. This morning I reached a significant milestone and I can’t stop my OCD self from sharing.
I reached the equivalent of over two bowling balls of keto weight loss this morning (30 lbs.). My ultimate GW loss of 3 bowling balls is now in sight, only one bowling ball (15lbs.) away. For those of you who have been following my story, you know I’ve been here before.
In fact, last year I reached 3 bowling balls of weight loss. Then I let injuries, circumstances and excuses derail my good work for almost half of the year. My point is this, I know it is easy to get off track. Life seems to get in the way of our best intentions. I have good friends on this forum I have leaned on and received inspiration during hard times. I’m confident my mentors and friends here know, as I do, this is a long game. Hang in there. Keto works!

I’ve got a question for you. Who out there still has New Year resolution(s) going strong? I have two that I’m still hanging onto.
1. Give up caffeine and replace it with Castor Oil and CBD oil. I’m about ready to ditch the CBD oil, as I’ve honestly not noticed much difference. I’m giving it one mere week to make it a whole month. If my sleep/pain doesn’t improve, I’m on to other solutions. On the other hand, Castor Oil has been a magic elixir for me. My number one problem with keto was constipation. Castor oil and cruciferous vegetables have me moving like a well oiled machine!!!!!
2. Eating intuitively. I’ve been doing keto for over 400 days now. I think I’m at a place where I don’t have to measure, count, account and be a slave to my food log. I’ve figured out what works for me and I’ve managed to lose weight for 6 of the first 7 weeks this year while minimizing my visits to MFP food logs. To be fair and honest, I would not be where I am today without the MFP food log. However, I do believe, I am now free of the food log and keto is becoming a Way Of Existing (WOE), not just a diet plan.
So, there’s two of my resolutions still kicking. How about you? I’d love to hear some good news about the new year from all of you. I
keto.

I've been steadily purging my closet and found an old Weight Watchers card from 10 years ago. I'm happy to see that I'm 12 lbs less today from my lowest weight I can recall.
My NSV for this week: I finally lost the "baby weight"!!! And I for the first time in his life, I weigh less than my 15 yo boy 😏.

Good Sunday morning. Down 3 lbs. this week. That puts me at 32 lbs. less than my keto starting weight. In bowling balls (BBs) that is 2.13 BBs. That means I’m only 13 lbs. or 0.87 BBs away from my goal of 3 bowling balls or 45 pounds. No matter how you look at it, BBs or LBs, I’m getting closer to my goal each week.

Not much of a loss, but started my 12 week work-out program this week. I think i might be holding onto some water weight from work-outs. I started to take my creatine as well so that might make me hold on to some water weight also. Lets see what next week brings. Might have to make some adjustments if weight loss is still slow.
