    I stayed about the same this week but I did have my late post-race celebrations and some ice cream with kids, but that is part of life.

    I understand that if you are just starting out, avoid carby
    fruits and veg. Apples and carrots fall into that category.

    Not the loss I was hoping for. I know I was in more of a deficit than that, but oh well. At least it was a loss.

    Hi are you taking measurements? I have found that even when the scale does not move my measurements go down.

    I haven't been, but I know that I need to. I know for a fact that I'm losing inches because my pants are looser and my boobs are actually fitting in my bra again LOL Thanks for the push to take my measurements, I needed it!

    Lowest Weight in 2018: 183.8 (Loss of 25” and 26.6 Lbs!)

    Starting weight on Jan 2, 2019: 193.4

    The progress has been extremely slow, but it's moving in the right direction:

    Jan (-3.4 lbs)
    Feb (-2 lbs)
    Mar (-0.4 lbs)
    Apr (- 2.2 lbs)

    New goals:
    GET OUT OF THE 80's! (I've been here for 12 weeks!)
    See the 60’s by my bday in September
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145

    Sun 05/19: 185.4 I’ve upped my physical activity to 3x what it was (added weight lifting to my cardio as well). I’m hoping I’ll finally see some changes on the scale before the end of May.

    **May GW: 159 lbs (approx. 7 lbs weight loss goal this month)

    Hoping to break into the 150's by the end of this month.

    Another small loss but I'm still happy with it. At least I am consistent and have learned lots so now I don't even notice when I am making choices until other people point it out to me. Took my mom out for lunch and I ordered my cobb salad with chicken, no corn and dressing on the side without even looking at the menu...she was very proud of me :blush:

    05/05: 166.8 lbs (oops an accidental gain but very little)
    05/12: 165.2 lbs (-1.6 lbs)

    @goldengirl111 not typically; however, you can try it and see if they impact you. or know that you are using your carb allotment for the day (or two) with a small amount of food. i would recommend holding off on them until you have been hard at it, meaning <= 20g carbs, for at least 2 weeks (this should get you through the initial adaptation phase and allow you to start feeling more in your body on if you _need_ those). if you do, that is fine; just be aware of the carb counts and how little you eat. fruits & veggies are truly something that is personal; i know for me, i do not feel as well when i eat them (other than as a spice/flavor to my meal)

    Just started Keto yesterday, however, I'm not really sure I understand it. I comprehend I need to cut carbs down to about 20 gs, but when I make up my daily menu, to keep it at that limit, I'm consuming less than 500 calories daily. That can't be good, can it? Also, I read, that I need to keep my protein level reasonable, but how do I figure out how much I should be eating? Also, it says to eat more fat, but can one eat too much?, the last thing I need is clogged arteries. I'm 65, weigh about 250 and spend most of my day in bed or a wheelchair. Any suggestions on daily diet plans would be really helpful.

    Hi!

    Watch as much videos on youtube as you can: Dr. Berg's 'Healthy Keto Basics' and his other videos, Keto Connect has great videos too. Websites to check out(recipes and other info): The Savory Tooth, Wholesome Yum, I breathe I'm hungry, Low carb maven and the diet doctor... you want to set macros(percentage of protein, fats, carbs and calories) to do that watch the video 'Keto Macros Lesson(long version), hopefully that will help :)
