Just give me one month - August 2019

Trying to get to 11 stone (154 lb) by 14th October for a friend's wedding. Current goal is to lose 10lb by end of first month (August). Might be more realistic to shoot for 7lb, but I've lost 4lb in ten days without depriving myself, so I'll see how it goes. I'm 5' 7.5" BTW.

July 31 - 205.4 - Keto day 3. Still have a headache

Aug 1 - 205.4 - Staying the same is better than gaining! Still have a headache that is unrelenting. Caffeine and OTC stuff dull it some but not a lot. Hopefully this wont happen for much longer. I'm hoping to make it under 200 this month. So gotta stay focused!

Aug 2 - 205.6 - Headache is gone! Did well yesterday and stayed with my goals. My headache was still bothering me then and I was so tired that I didn't exercise. I will tonight though since I'm feeling better. I'm still confused as to why I'm not losing with the carb cutting. Not enough calories is my biggest guess. I was having a hard time getting past 1100. I will give it another week (with higher calorie count) and if nothing is happening I'll increase my carb intake some too and see if that helps. Cause I was losing okay prior to keto, I just wanted to give it a try again. So I guess I'll see. Tonight's takeout night. It's either gonna be Carl's jr or mcdonalds and I can make those work. Gonna be hard to say no to fries though!

Aug 3 - 204.8 - Yay! I'm officially 10.2lbs down since I started back in late May early June. 7lbs just in the last 2 months. I ate almost all my calories for the day and then walked on the treadmill for 45 min. I did good with dinner, I got a lettuce wrapped burger. Though I did (without even thinking) snag 1 french fry from my youngest. But I still did good!

Aug 4 - 202.8 - Ate very light yesterday (had a busy day) but still was able to make okay choices. Had hotdogs for dinner, had some pistachios, pork rinds, handful of peanuts and 2 cheese sticks. I mostly snacked all day, but I was never once hungry. Today I will prep my lunches for the week. Over the first 6 days of keto, I've lost 4lbs. I'm gonna keep going for another week like I promised myself and see where I get.

Aug 5 - 202.0 - Down another .08lbs. I'm so close to 199! Today I've ate more, but still low on carbs. Hopefully there will be no gain, but I'll just have to deal with it if there is. I'm so excited to finally be losing. I've lost 13lbs total, and I had someone notice that I was losing weight today! That really gave me a boost and will keep me going! I can say that I am not hungry at all today! Real test will be tonight when I get home..I'll need to not raid the pantry. I'll be using the treadmill tonight and will aim to use it all this week.

Aug 6 - 202.6 - up a little, which is to be expected because I ate more. I walked for 45 minutes tonight. I find if I read a book and walk it makes the time fly by. I have less calories planned today, but I'm still eating a bunch. I'm so close to onederland...I cant wait.

Aug 7 - 202.0 - Back down I go! Little by little I will get there. Next stop 201s! I had a bagel today. First bread I have had in a week and a half. I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I'm not missing carbs as much as I thought I would.

Aug 08 - 202.8 - Back up again, but that's okay. Walked for another 35 min last night too. Today has been good so far. Here's to hoping the scale goes down!

Aug 9 - 202.4 - Down some! Today was not a good day food choice wise and the scale will reflect that come morning. I'm going to need to refocus myself and get back to it! I'm so close to onederland again. Just need to set my mind to it and get it done!

Aug 10 - 205.8 - Really bad choices and falling off the Keto wagon hard = weight gain. I do have to say though, eating more carbs, bread in particular really messed with my stomach. Within 20 min of eating it, I had intestinal cramping. This week I'm gonna go back to more of a low carb approach. I'll keep my carbs under 75, and hopefully that will keep me from falling off the wagon.

Aug 11 - 205.0 - I've recovered some. Hopefully I can get myself back to where I was. I'm disappointed in myself, but all I can do is get up and get going again. I'd really like to get as close to 199 that I can by the end of the month. Still have almost 3 weeks to get it done.

31 July - 146.4 lbs
1 Aug - 147.4 - A real rollercoaster ride
2 Aug - 148.2 - here we go again. TOM is lurking about the corner too so scale will dance about. Up 2 lbs in 2 days?
3 Aug - Didn't weigh - feel bloated
4 Aug - Same as yesterday
5 Aug - 148.8 - If I cut back anymore I would be eating under 1000 calories. Scale not budging or going up!
6 Aug - no weigh in TOM
7 Aug - 147.2 - hope I can get to at least 145 this month. Some loss is better than nothing. I notice that clothes are fitting better which is not reflected on the scales.
8 Aug - 147 lbs.
9 Aug - Not weighing today. My nerves can't stand it
10 Aug -147.8 - Very disappointed but keep going.
11 Aug - 146.6 - Cautiously optimistic. Not sure I trust my scale
12 Aug - 148 - after 2 months of low/no carbs I completely lost my mind last night and binged on cookies and mini granola bars. I felt like I would go mad and kill someone if I don't get some sugar. I have to rethink my eating as I don't think this is sustainable for me.

7 lbs to my MGW!!
14 lbs to my UGW

@ kellyswimmer Thank you, but obviously as you can see I totally blew it this weekend. Back on track today and maybe I will get back down in a couple of days. Life and emotions just gets in the way of weight loss sometimes.

@ evangelene12 I know what you mean. I usually eat low carb and if I go off the rails for a couple of days, I have a huge increase. This weekend was one of those and I gained 6 pounds from Saturday morning to Monday morning. Most of it will be gone in a couple of days, but it's frustrating.
