4 Aug - 184.4 Big drop!!
5 Aug - 184.6
6 Aug - 185.4 Here comes the yoyo
7 Aug - 185.0 Oh...maybe not!
8 Aug - 183.8 Wooo... Ketones are low, but I did a long fast (till noon) and results!
9 Aug - 184 Knew this would happen, weighed myself earlier. Still good!
10 Aug-183.8 Purple ketones this morning - but i ate a bunch of parsnip chips tonight
11 Aug-183.4 Weighed myself earlier to prep for back to work schedule.
12 Aug-183.4 Even earlier... so good numbers still.
13 Aug-183.4 As long as the number doesn't go up, its all good....
14 Aug-184.6 Doh. Evening eating, just sunflower seeds, but that was enough I guess
15 Aug-183.4 Phewf, was worried after the accidental latte...
16 Aug-184.3
17 Aug-184.2
18 Aug-185.8
19 Aug-184.2 Weekends are the worst for my diet. Consistency is key for me, and the weekend lack of routine (and company) kills that...
20 Aug-183.4 Third downward Yo on the Yo-Yo 1.2 away from my monthly goal!

1 Aug-- I did not weigh myself today I got back from vacation a few days later than expected, ugh I'm nervous to get on that scale. I will record my starting weight for the month tomorrow.
2 Aug--193.4 Well I guess I didn't do as good as I thought while on vacation. I gained almost 2.5 pounds ...But I'm back now focus, focus, focus I can and will be in the 180's this month!!!!
3 Aug--192.8
4 Aug--192
5 Aug--192 I'm happy with this steady 192 especially because a surprise came early Saturday morning I was not expecting my TOM to arrive about 12 days earlier this month than last But it is life so lets see how I do over the next 6 days with the major BLOAT....
6 Aug--193
7 Aug--193 No stress I know what this is and I'm ok with it just a few more days and I expect to see a drop. I have been eating my 1200 calories per day just a few extra sweets but for the most part I have been really good.
8 Aug--195 I guess that extra few pieces of candy and the late night drink wasn't worth it
9 Aug--194...but now here's the weekend ugh!!! Lord give me strength!!!!

Day/Weight/Comment

1 Aug - 164.5 lb
2 Aug - 164.5 lb
3 Aug - "no weigh in day"
4 Aug - "no weigh in day"
5 Aug - 164.5 lb. Still no change as of right now. Better than a gain I guess lol
6 Aug - 164 lb (-0.5) Surprised about the drop! I had a pretty large dinner lastnight. Woot woot!!
7 Aug - 164 lb (0)
8 Aug - 163 lb ( -1) Yaaaaaasss!!! It's working!!
9 Aug - 163.5 lb ( + 0.5) Urrrrmmmm... well that was cool..... lol
10 Aug- no weigh day (NA)
11 Aug- no weigh day (NA)
12 Aug- 164.5 lb ( +1) Back to where I started. Wasn't on my best eating behavior this weekend though. Probably carrying a bit of water weight from it. Back on board!!! Made it a goal this week to stay on track even through the weekend. I got this!!
13 Aug- 164 lb ( -0.5) I'll take it!
14 Aug- 163 lb ( -1 lb) Woot!!! Now to keep it here or lower lol!!
15 Aug- 163 lb (0) Little to no change. The scale/method for my weigh in right now isn't the most accurate lol For one, I'm fully clothed when I weigh in. Shoes off though. This is because I've been weighing myself on a scale at work. (I dont think they'd appriciate me stripping down the the ladies restroom for a naked weigh LOL!!) I might change that... I use what is called and "expression station" at work 2X a day. It's for breast feeding mothers who need to pump while at work. The room is private and lockable. So if I bring my own scale in to keep in there I could do naked weights after pumping.... entertaining the idea for sure.
16 Aug- 162.5 lb (-0.5) Sweet!! Now to stick to my guns this weekend. *I think I can, I think I can, I think I can*
17 Aug- no weigh day (NA)
18 Aug- no weigh day (NA)
19 Aug- 162 lb (-0.5) Yes! Did it!! Now to keep it going.

Day/Weight/Comment

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.

Aug 12-19 - 206.2 - Fell off the wagon hard. Today was my restart day. I still have a few weeks to get myself as close to 199 as possible!

Aug 20 - 204.6 - My good day yesterday was a success. Today has been really good too. While I didn't use the treadmill like I wanted to last night, I still woke up with a loss. Hopefully I can keep it up!

12 Aug - 11.04. Delighted with this. Body fat percentage is now in normal range. Down 10 % points.
13 Aug - 11.04. Body fat reading incorrect yesterday. I had been reset has a man. Still down but not so low.

I think you will be near 11.01

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.
13 Aug - 2nd night of binging last night - no weigh in
14 Aug - 3rd night of binging - ok, this has to stop today. Too afraid to weigh - but will get a hold of myself today
15 Aug - 147. 8 - not to much damage but totally stuck. Let's see what the next 2 weeks bring.

21 Aug -It's no good. I'm struggling to control the nightly binging now that it is started. I don't know how to manage stress without eating! Really feel low. Trying again today.
