GW: 254.5 (This is my first big goal. It will be exactly 50 lbs lost with the help of Keto.)
August GW: 256 (This puts me one pound below my lowest ever Keto weight from 5/7/19. It will help me to know that I really have gotten back on track after 3 months of up and down, up and down.)
08/04 257.0 (-5.4)
08/11 256.4 (-0.6)
08/18 262.6 (+4.2) In my heart, I KNOW this is water, but it doesn't keep my heart from hurting a little bit this morning.

This week has been extremely stressful at work, and I don't eat well when I am stressed.
I'm starting again to log my food so hopefully I'll have a better week. And I'm doing a meal prep day, which should also help! I don't see how I'm going to reach my August goal but I'm aiming for a revised GW of 160.
Good luck to all for next week!2 -

Just joining in this group!
Here are my stats: Female, age 49, Height 5'4"
I'm a stress eater, but I know the best way to manage my stress is eating healthy, limiting alcohol & following an exercise program. I lost 30 pounds last summer doing that but gained most of it back this past spring due to stress induced binge eating/drinking. Recommitting to a better, healthier, happier me! I have followed a low-carb and/or gluten-free way of eating in the past, but this is my 1st time trying Keto.

August Goal: To be under 160
Sunday 8/3 = 168.7
Sunday 8/11 = 166.4 (down 2.3 lbs) I was on vacation last week, so not fully on Keto but was mindful of what I was eating/drinking.
Sunday 8/18 = 162.5 (down 3.9 lbs) First full week eating Keto, feeling somewhat low energy & hoping this "Keto flu" passes in the next couple of days. Also doing IF 16:8.

Scale movement fluctuated so much last week, but the average was in the right direction. Not sure I will hit my August goal, but happy to be moving. Also, I've let my strength training slip some, so maybe that's why there's not as much progress?
8/4 (weekly average) - 157.17 lbs
8/11 (weekly average) - 156.83 lbs

Found a new passion to ease into working out. I love stand up paddle boarding (SUP). Spent lots of time on the water this weekend and my body felt great...lots of energy to paddle for hours. I don't think I could have done this when I was carrying extra weight.

I mean, slow and steady wins the race right? I've never dropped out of ketosis, I'm within my caloric intake window, and I'm more active than I've been in MONTHS. Still frustrated that progress is going slow but, I'm thankful for progress.
Goals: 4 Peloton rides. 16:8 IF

I’d say I’m disappointed I haven’t lost more, but I travel for work 3-4 days a week. And even with that, and making adjustments as best I can at group dinners, I’m losing weight. I’d normally gain a pound every trip.4 -

I participated here in February, then took a long break, but trying out Keto again. I've dropped a bit since Feb, but not much. Here's hoping for more progress!

I'll join in - why not?
I'm a 44-year-old male, 6-foot-2, been up and down in the weight department (mostly up) for most of my adult life. According to my genes and body type, I'm high-risk for the whole gamut of metabolic illnesses, from type-2 diabetes to heart disease. The time to act was yesterday! Officially started keto on Monday 8/12, so this is day 11 - and so far, so good.
