    I did not weight last week because of family visiting and I had fallen off the wagon. Now back on track, but boy restarting a true keto diet is HARD!

    I see a lot of ups and downs on this forum, so good luck to all!

    Ahh don't you hate it when you weigh yourself midweek and see a lower weight then you get all excited for Sundays weigh-in only to be disappointed and see a much higher number. I feel like I sabotaged myself by not being as strict after seeing the mid week weight number. Think I'll just stop peeking and wait until Sunday only.

    Restart Keto Weight: 175 lbs

    This week had so many increases, but the weekly average was slightly below last week. I was tempted to give it all up out of frustration, but I managed to stay on track for a weekend with a family birthday! We have a camping trip at the coast this weekend, so we'll see what happens with fish and chips...

    Ugh!! It takes a couple to days to recover from driving 24 hrs in 3 days. I love my family, but it's a long drive and flights are so expensive. I need them to move to a popular destination, so i can catch the $59 want to get away flight :smiley:

    Well enough of complaining, I had a great time with my nephew & niece and it was worth it. Now, to work in the extra lb that i brought back with me.

    I stayed active this week but TTOM was present and it was brutal. Bloated, retaining water, and craving every carb I could possibly think of. Surprisingly I didn't cave in and I've now been in ketosis for one month. Pretty disappointed with my weight loss for one month of keto compared to other people's stories but I'm just going to keep trucking because inches are moving.
    Made a goal to get in 3 rides on the Peloton and I was able to get in 4 plus taking my little one on several walks. B)
    My goal for this week is to get in 3 rides and go for a 3 mile walk on Saturday and Sunday.

    My IF is still 12:12; I can't consistently go 16:8 because of my lack of sleep and crazy schedule. Does anyone have any tricks or tips they've used to get onto 16:8 with unpredictable sleep and wake times?

    I would like to learn more about the monthly challenges

    It's not hard, people do a variety of things as you will see so some put their start weight (SW and a date) Current Weight (CW) goal can be added or not as you feel like. Sometimes we put a month goal or a long term one, it doesn't matter, it's not written in stone and there is no problem about changing it! Then weigh and post your weight each Sunday or when you have access to a scale!

    Feel free to join! :)

    Week one and just under half a stone. Think it could have been better if the white wine I had hadn’t stalled it. I didn’t know alcohol was having such a big impact on my weight. Also got my husband on board so hopefully it will be easier.

    08/04: Away on vacation & cheating hard.
    08/11: 188.0 This isn’t as bad as it could have been. I was away on vacation cheating for a week, on top of that, this is a new scale, AND it’s that TOM right now. So I’m actually thrilled that I only popped up 4.5lbs! I’m confident I’ll lose most of it this week as it is probably mainly bloating.
    08/18: 186.0 Yay! Headed back in the right direction :smile:
