Hello again and also welcome to anyone looking at this and wondering if this is for you, just give it a try!

You can post your weight here and also in the Keto Monthly Challenge Spreadsheet which Nikki updates.

Feel very welcome to join, we usually post our weigh Sundays and use the 'Keto Monthly Challenge Spreadsheet' also in 'Announcements' to track weight.

We use this thread to encourage each other and to add our weight as well if we want to and generally chat!

It's fun and it's been working and we've lost a shed load of weight between us. It seems to keep us going and even if we go up occasionally (and who doesn't!) we get back to it and continue the journey.

    Hi Everyone

    I'm aiming to be full keto this month eating mostly mince beef as it's cheap and high protein.

    SW 179.3
    GW 136.4

    May goal: 162.8

    I wish everyone luck this month. It's great to be accountable.

    I make my meat patties in a sandwich press with baking paper so it doesn't make a mess. I make 100g patties which I weigh so I can get the calories just right in fitness pal.

    You can eat them, but both have a higher carb count, so you'll want to watch your portion sizes. I personally don't eat them because I find that there are plenty other healthy foods with a lower carb count. If you really can't live without your apples, try Granny Smith, they have a lower sugar count and thus less of a carb impact.

    @goldengirl111 You can eat whatever keeps you in ketosis; however, higher sugar/carb things like carrots and apples will make it difficult to get into ketosis if you are just getting started.

    There a lots of resources online with "getting started" foods lists. Check out dietdoctor.com and also https://www.drberg.com/blog-article/ketogenic-diet-plan#list.

    Once you get fat adapted, which can take a few weeks to a few months, you may be able to add in small amounts of higher carb fruit and veggies. Personally, now that I am fat adapted, I don't ever want or crave those things, and I used to be an absolute fruit addict - like, I could eat a whole pineapple or honeydew melon by myself in one sitting.These days, I on occasion have a serving of low carb fruit like blueberries or strawberries. Not to say I'll never have a bite of an apple ever again, of course not. But those high sugar fruits are such a shock to the system after being fat adapted.

    unfortunately not really, you can weigh and put against your daily carb count but it won't be a lot and you'll end up with no other carbs to play with, stick to low carb vegetables like salads and broccoli etc, check out more information on sites like the diet doctor etc. Good luck

    This has been a GREAT week! Not just in terms of weight loss, but of overall energy and outlook.

    Last week I had finished one week of carnivore. I only planned to do one week because I felt like it would be way too restrictive and I would need to stop after that week. Well, I am still carnivore and I LOVE it! I really don't crave any non-carnivore foods, and I don't see myself giving this WOE up any time soon. I thought this would be such a punishment, but it's actually a blessing.

    I am full much longer on much less food and my mental clarity and focus has improved. Plus, losing more than 4 pounds in two weeks (my best rate ever) ain't to bad either!

    Have a great week everyone!

    Minor set back. at the end of April I was 205.4...though i got 3 different numbers then so I went with the lowest.

    Still having trouble with sweets/candy, I know its more of a mind game right now. I am craving Peanut Butter M&M's constantly and its driving me crazy. but i will get back to it. Just have to take one day at a time and not get down on my self.
