In total, 145lbs. So far I've lost 55.1lbs. As of this morning, I have 89.9lbs to go.7

I'd like to lose 100. So I'm trying to stay consistent. I've heard ppl lose so much weight initially, but I haven't lost as much as I thought I would1

Everyone is different. I'm not a fast loser, even on Keto. My H lost 23lbs in 3 weeks, it took me two months to lose that much, and I have more to lose than he does. So frustrating.1

My husband doesn't even try to lose weight, he'll drop 10 lbs just from summer being here. He's significantly thinner than me0

I've lost 32 (over about 5 1/2 months), and I'm aiming to lose 48 more. I have found it pretty easy with keto way of eating. I don't struggle with hunger or cravings much. On those rare occasions, it's usually that time of the month. I hope that remains true for the duration. I feel good, have energy, etc.2

Though I have been as high as 202 in the past, I started keto at 167. I've literally never been "thin" or just a normal weight since I was a child, so I really don't know what my "goal" weight should be. I just don't have that reference point.
So far, I have lost 15 lbs in 2 months and I am really happy with how I feel physically (never hungry, lots of energy), mentally, and emotionally. I am focusing on not just the weight but my overall well-being. That being said, I feel like I have about another 15-20 lbs to lose. I've been working out and am adding weight training. I wanna have Michelle Obama arms!4 -
Also, I didn't lose a bunch at the beginning either. I've been a consistent loser (haha) this whole time. Everyone is different, and women have a lot of hormonal stuff at play that needs to even out in the first weeks-months of keto as your body starts healing itself.0

I'm really looking forward to being under 200 in the future5

I've got 100 lbs to lose. I've been at this since the second week of May and lost 12 pounds. I'm not hungry and at 2lbs a week that's a pretty healthy loss rate. Would I love to lose faster yes but that's how my body rolls.1

I feel the same - not sure what my goal weight will be, but I've set a target of 140 to start. The lowest I've been as an adult was 155. I felt good then, but bad habits/depression/life crept in and the weight came back on. 140 puts me in the range of healthy on the BMI charts, but we shall see what I look like/feel like. I try not to think about it. One step at a time. One day at a time. And, yes! Michelle Obama arms! and to do push-ups like her!3 -
My weight right now is approx 120 lbs and my goal is 110. I've been keto about 3 years. Initially lost about 25 lbs without exercise and I was at my ideal weight, still needed to tone but i know i needed to add weightlifting for that. After about a year and a half, 10 lbs came back on pretty suddenly. Still keto the entire time. I added extra cardio and weight lifting, noticed my body changing a teeny bit which was nice. It's been a struggle to keep up my workouts balancing work and then after I started my masters degree program last January. Now I'm about 5 lbs heavier than before. All that being said, I need to be diligent about my workouts and analyzing my food to see how to lose this extra weight. So would love to share and have accountability.3

My original mission was 40lbs....but I think I'm going to up that to 45 or 50....
Sitting at 36lbs lost right now...Keto since Jan 1. I maintain a 500 calorie daily deficit, can't lose any weight with any diet type without a deficit.2 -
My mission is to loose 30 lbs. I loose weight at a very slow rate which usually demotivates me by month 3. I hope I can stick around long enough to see the 30 lbs gone. Good luck everyone

I have too much weight to lose to think about setting a goal weight right now. So my next goal is fitness related. I want to get back to playing volleyball with my friends. I'm hoping I can get there by Labor Day.2

My goal is to lose 40 lbs. I'm early in the game (Week 1), but down 2 pounds. Only 38 more to go. 3

Starting weight somewhere around 230 lbs (104 kg)
Current weight around 195 lbs (88 kg).
Goal weight between 165-175lbs (75-79 kg)... Where I usually maintain and feel the healthiest. Also the weight I feel I look the healthiest and fittest.
5'8" 45 yr old female, lowest weight in adult hood 130 (59 kg).
I don't own a scale, but I can tell when I get down to goal weight by the size I am and measurements. I go weigh when I get there, and always on target.
Started Keto on June 11, 2019.
Total to lose: 60 lbs (27 kg)
Current loss: 35 lbs (16 kg)
Left to lose: 25 lbs (11 kg)
Give or take a few on any number!6 -

I lost 11.4 kg/25 lb in 7 months.I just went for my check-up with my doctor.My over all health is good but I'm low on Vitamin D and Zinc and I've been losing hair for a month now.
I have 4-6 kg/ 9-13 lb to get to my goal weight of 48-50 kg/ 105 -110 lb/ BMI 20.
I don't mind losing weight slowly and I try to eat healthy too.
👩🏽🔬👨🏽🔬A check-up is a good idea so you know for sure you eat right while follow keto/ low carbs WOE.x 💓

@Malimalai
So glad your check-up was good!!! That's great!!!!
We take a B12 and a D vitamin sublingual under the tongue, so they go straight to blood stream. They work well. My boyfriend quit taking his prescription D and started the sublingual tablets.
He had fibromyalgia partly due to D deficiency.1 -

I started on Feb 24th at 245lbs
My first goal weight was to get out of the 200's which I hit in the end of June.
July has been a slow month, but I have lost 50lbs to date and I am currently trying to figure out my Ultimate goal weight. I am still considered overweight by the BMI standard calculator and would have to lose about 25 more pounds to get into the "normal" category. I get my physical in the fall, will have blood work checked and discuss ultimate goal weight with my Dr.
Just want to say I love reading about everyone's journey and each and everyone of you have been and continue to be an inspiration to me!3 -
Since I don't use a scale, I gauge my progress through clothing. I started size 22 pants on July 1st of 2018 and currently down to size 4😉
My goal size wise was size 4, now working on a little toning in some areas and maintaining. But still ONLY eating keto approved foods😋
393 days keto💪9 -
Starting weight on keto: 242 (March)
Current weight: 196
Hoping to get down to 130. I’m 5”8’ and that is a 20% body fat. Not sure it will happen. But trying to see if that will help with sucking in lose skin I’m sure I will have. I’ve read that is the percent body fat that can get rid of lose skin naturally. If it works I plan to gain a little back and stay between 140-150. Just so I can have an easy daily calorie goal lol. Plan to track on MFP and stay Keto or low carb for life.2 -
