Coleen312, thank you so much for the kind prayers. And I also appreciated (and needed) your advice about weight loss without exercise. I have been feeling a bit down over my knee injury, and my weight loss has stalled the last several days without the exercise (not that I need to be weighing myself every day). I am SO glad I joined this team. The support and encouragement is just what I needed! Wishing everyone a great day, Pam.2

Hi! Was just assigned to your team! I'm really looking forward to learning from everyone here!
My name is Maia, and I started Keto weighing 320lbs on 2-11. I'm now at 300, and working towards losing -at minimum - 10lbs by the end of this month. My goal weight is 200lbs.
I have been moving back and forth between IF and OMD, because I'm told my body needs to be 'tricked' to get past the stalls and plateaus. Since being here, I've learned that alot of the info I was going by is wrong (or I simply misunderstood it), and the members have been really great at helping me straighten this out once and for all.
I'm a Mom of three C-section kids and a rouen-y, which means I am dealing with scar tissue along with belly fat, so I'm also taking choline and serrapeptase which has helped alot.
I'm also walking with WII, but I'm being careful because of my knees. Thanks for letting me join!
Maia glad you are here. If you have trouble with your knees you may want to strengthen your quads by doing straight leg lifts and squats. I have been working with a therapist to strengthen my knees and these exercises have been very helpful. Also do bike riding occasionally.
Good luck

It's my time of the month - sorry to all the guys in the group who don't want to hear this, only sharing because it always has a HUGE impact on my diet, exercise, and weight loss in general - anyhoo I had cramps like you would not believe, they went all the way down the inside of my legs and I felt like I could hardly walk. So of course I didn't go for a run and instead ate about 2 extra helpings of dinner, putting me 300+ calories over.
Thankfully I didn't have any snack foods in the house because it would have been even worse.
I also barely slept in spite of going to bed early and feel barely functional today. (Side note: whenever I can't sleep for one or two days and feel miserable the next day, I always think of all the new parents out there - I have so much respect for you making your self presentable and somehow surviving your day to day life after months without a full night sleep!)
Hoping today is better and hoping my little splurge doesn't have too big of an impact on my weigh in day. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
You may need some more magnesium right now. Drink some pickle juice it may help in the mean time.2 -
@LovebyDraug69 you are so right ... the 3/4" truly matters when you are short like we are. Due to age I recently lost my 1/2" advantage am now 5'2".0

Finally getting a chance to post have been tending to hubby. He is battling a severe case of cellulitis.
My name is Belinda. I live in the DFW area of TX. My hubby and I have 2 feline furbabies: Sophie, 15 and Lucy, 12.
I have been on my WL journey for 5 years for health reasons (migraines and hyperthyroidism). During this time I have gone 3 surgeries for cancer (the most recent recent 3 weeks ago), reconstructive surgery on my nose due to cancer, recurring bone fractures in my right foot due to over use and extreme fatigue.
I am now cancer free, Praise God!!! My foot is healing with the help of a bone stimulator and things seem to be getting back to normal. My journey has been mostly an on-off KETO/LCHF woe with the occasional week of IF or completely off the wagon.
SW: 395
CW: 342.8
Short term GOAL: 300
Others Goal
1. Meal prep consistently. Be prepared.
2. 25 to 50 Squats daily.
3. Log food daily. Have not been consistent with this lately.
Good luck ASSETS!!!5 -

Congratulations for being cancer free!!! What a huge accomplishment.

Hi guys.... your long lost member here.
I don't even know how long it has been since I've been here. So sad. I am going to remain on the support squad thru June and will be a participating challenger again in July.
So a quick 50cent catch up....
I told y'all in May that I injured my back while on vacay out of the country. Upon returning, I spent about another week in bed, and only worked 20 hours the following week. I saw my surgeon on Tuesday and NO SURGERY!!! WOOP WOOP!!! I am so stoked about this!! We are working on getting my meds to be something I can tolerate until this mega flareup has resolved itself. The meds I am taking make me feel like a zombie. There are days I can hardly open my eyes. I told Julie @boehle that I felt drunk and hungover all at the same time. Thank goodness, the doc is tapering me off the zombie meds and transitioning over to a med I tolerated well in the past. @guitargirl55 I feel your pain with the cramping. This is a side effect of my injury, but it is caused by the injury - not a mineral or other deficiency - I just have to wait for them to go away. My Navy Medic daughter reminds me - everything is linked to your spine.
My doc did clear me to WALK the Peachtree Road Race. This is a big deal to me. @reginadhedden will be with me JIC.
I am happy to say that I did not gain while on vacay. I am not sure where I ended the month of May - have not weighted. I will weigh in on Sat am (my regular weigh day) and keep up with this myself for the remainder of the month. I feel squishy and bloated. I can't tell if it is gain or meds/water. Monday, I will be starting an anti bloat/anti inflammatory diet. I feel like my body needs this to get the GUNK gone and have a nice, clean slate to start from.
I have missed you all A LOT!!! I will be on the thread more often now that the zombie brain fog is lifting.
Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes you have sent my way. XOXO!!!5 -

@Beka3695 cramping and zombie drugs on top of a back injury does not sound fun at all, but I am so happy for you that you don’t have to have surgery and will not be a zombie much longer!
My mom actually tried an anti-inflammatory diet a few years back and said it was helpful, but very strict and difficult to maintain. Best of luck to you! Let us all know how it goes! 3 -

Had a good week with food but not so good on exercising, sick kids have kept me up at night which makes getting up early extra hard! Will try and keep the momentum going over the next week 😀5 -

I've been SO hungry for the last two days! It's so unlike me. I don't feel like I've completely blown it yet, but I'm headed that way if I don't get back on track. My youngest child has her promotion ceremony from 8th grade this morning, then my son and stepdaughter will be graduating from high school next week. It's a busy and stressful time. Hoping to get myself back in check soon.
