Hi All,
It’s a sunny day today here in NYC. Awesome dedication all around to the Slimsons!
Would you like to know how much water weight one can gain when incorporating carbs back into a diet after keto? 6 lbs.....
Yes---I gain 6lbs once I start eating anything off plan (like last week).... it will come off Mary--- you've been working crazy hours the last few weeks.... life gets crazy and we sometimes miss the gym, and can't plan as we hope. You are still doing so well!
YOU GOT THIS!!!👏🙌💪🏻😅💫
@SLIMn2016 🙏🙏🙏 thank you!! 🌷🌷💕

Goals/Day/Comments: how do I celebrate a good week? A fish fry blowout. 😫 Ah well, back at it tomorrow. Tonight I go check out a local karate class. At 49 years old. If I don’t post tomorrow, you all know what happened to me. 😆
This is something I'm experimenting with as I've had a few days over the last few months where I've ate way over my calories and then dropped a lot of weight right after, the last more than 5 lbs right after, now those days were not on purpose, but this month I'm starting to incorporate 1 day in where I do it on purpose to see how I do with it. There's some body builders who swear by it and I'm training for competitive weightlifting so I'm going to try and see if it helps me the same way it helps them in competition prep. And it may help others too, there seems to be something behind the idea of a "re-feed" and it may help, who knows, but I'm going to try once a month for a bit to see if it helps.
I would love to try a karate class, that's awesome that you're giving it a shot, kudos to you, you are braver than me...0 -

Would you like to know how much water weight one can gain when incorporating carbs back into a diet after keto? 6 lbs. I was 141.6 last Saturday. The last few days - even with staying at 1300 cals - I had salty carby food and the water piled back on. I guess one could say it’s my “true weight” since keto takes out the excess water.
I’m not as freaked out as I thought I would be. My goal is still 130 ish lbs. I guess that 125 while in keto. 😉
I’m about 5”8-5”9 - but I’m small boned- when I was in my early 20s, I naturally was a willowy 117. I figure with more lean muscle - 130ish is the sweet spot. I was 145 when I was fitted for my wedding dress .:) looked good - but I can be more svelte.

Goal- going to have to jump back in to super keto and exercise this week. I’ve been tired -so getting easy food - I’m just going to have to figure out more time to meal prep. I was doing so good. I’ve been lazy. I’m all over it this week to see some great loss next Saturday.
@mg07030 I honestly don't think I'll ever go back to eating carbs, even when I reach my goal weight, although I'm still not sure what that looks like. I do think I'll loosen the reigns a bit and not do super strict keto like I do now. I just feel better overall getting rid of the carbs. I used to have crazy dips and then subsequent blood sugar spikes and it's solved alllll of that and I just don't ever want to go back to that, so I will likely cheat a bit more on keto and now that I've been keto so long a cheat meal (and even one whole day) doesn't cause me to jump up 6 lbs overnight, if I limit it to one meal or one day. So that's probably what I'll do when I get where I want to be but for now, I'm not where I want to be and have no idea what that looks like either. I am guessing 120ish since I'm 4'10" and the "ideal" weight is 95-110 for someone of my height and I'm definitely more muscular than the average woman of my height.
I made an instant pot taco soup which was keto and I have food for days with that and I just made a keto lasagna (no zucchini, instead it uses deli meat as the "noodles" and OMG I might be in keto heaven) which will last me for days too, so that's how I reduce my cooking time and make it easier to grab and go.

Today was a big day and really excited to share! I have now lost ten pounds since the beginning of Jan. I have had some really frustrating weeks when I had been making the right choices, working out etc and felt like I wasn’t getting there. I went back to a picture in Dec of 2018 and compared it to a picture today. The work is paying off! Best to all!

Water: 197.8

Comments: Everyone's recovery needs are different---I have noted that mine require cardio daily---yesterday I took a total rest day, no walking or anything--that was a big mistake. My muscles locked up and I was hurting worse as the day progressed. Today I dragged my butt to Combat Class and I stood in the front row---DONE✅ and lesson learned👌🏻😅
I did eat a bit over my calories--but when I am that hungry I know my body needs it, so I go with it. 4/3 IF starting back up on Monday✔️
HAPPY SATURDAY ALL--- keep up the inspiring work!💪🏻❤️0 -

@Wildmage69 & @AB0215 One of the trainers at my gym was telling a group of us who are doing IF that a re-feed day boosts metabolism and will actually help you lose more fat. Since then (last December) I have eating higher calories (he said to go 300-500 calories above maintenance) on Fridays (and sometimes Saturdays too if I workout hard and lift heavy)--- and that's when I really saw some progress. Works!1 -

@SLIMn2016 That's sort of what my trainer said too, on my re-feed day to eat about 500 or so calories above maintenance and he wants to see how it works for me because he doesn't really have anyone else to experiment on lol...so...I'm the guinea pig....which in reality, I'm ok with, I was thinking of trying it anyway. He also knows that I'm really into nutrition and intermittent fasting, and so is he, so he's interested in seeing the results in person, not in theory, and so am I. I see a lot of body builders do it in competition prep.
I've in inadvertently done it twice before and have seen a big drop after, so I'm hoping that continues, my re-feed will be next Saturday.

This is me too, if I take complete rest, even when I'm sore, I end up more sore than if I had just done cardio or walking or something to keep me in motion.1 -

My goal weight for March is 130 lbs. so gotta keep pushing. I'm still in the overweight range for my height (127.4 lbs gets me to normal range) so I'm optimistic I will get there! My overall weight goal is 115 lbs.Hi All,

Back to the grind. I need to say adios to these protein bars and packaged foods 🧘♂️
