    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.)

    GW: 126-136

    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.
    Sunday 8/25 = 158.5 (down 4.0 lbs) Lots more energy this week & the headaches of the previous week have passed. I was able to entertain a friend this week and stay keto making a great cheese board with raspberries, salami, & marcona almonds, even used a keto friendly "cracker" and she was none the wiser.
    Saturday 8/31 =

    Restart Keto Weight: 175 lbs
    CW: 157 lbs
    August GW: 152 lbs
    GW: 130 lbs

    8/4 (weekly average) - 157.17 lbs
    8/11 (weekly average) - 156.83 lbs
    8/18 - (weekly average) - 156.28
    8/25 - (weekly average) - 156.20
    8/31 -

    While I had a lot of progress in July, I have been gaining and losing the same 2 pounds for all of August. I reviewed my food diary and my carbs have edged up - my goal was 30g or under a day, but I think I might have to ratchet it down to 20g or less to maintain good loss. So I’m cutting out my low carb wraps and almond flour crackers and other sneaky places. This week’s meal plan is on track and I’m hoping to see a little more progress again! Definitely not going to hit that August goal weight, though :(

    I'm up a bit. I hope my weight will level out and I return to a downtrend. I need to count full days/ rather than half days. Good luck to everyone this week. Let's finish the challenge strong :)

    08/31

    Ummmmmmm, my scale didn't get the memo that I'm trying to LOSE weight. It's going in the wrong direction!

    To be fair, I've reverted to the same old routine of halfassery, sticking to strictly keto-friendly foods but not tracking. It appears that's not good enough.

    Back to logging.

    SW 184
    GW 159.9!!

    07/28 168.8

    08/04 167.6
    08/27 168.8.

    however let me tell you; that's just fine by me. This has been one busy month, school holidays, working kids and so our grandchildren have spent an inordinate amount of time with us and we've taken them away twice. School starts next week yippee!! I now have less than 8 weeks until our major holiday when we are away for 6 weeks, so maybe I can get my mind into gear and actually take off a few pounds and keep this off rather than taking off and putting on the same 3 pounds.......ahhhhhhh!

    Well done those that have stuck to it and lost and equally well done to those who have done what I've done but are still checking in!

    Arghhh! I was sure hoping for more, but I am going to call this a win. It was not my lowest weight for the month, but it was (very slightly) lower than how I started the month.

    AUGUST

    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
    08/25:
    01/09: 185.2 I’m happy I got rid of the bloating. Sad that it took me all month to do it. I’m optimistic about September

    Time to wrap up August!

    HW: 265 lbs
    Restart Keto Weight: 175 lbs
    CW: 157 lbs
    August GW: 152 lbs
    GW: 130 lbs

    8/4 (weekly average) - 157.17 lbs
    8/11 (weekly average) - 156.83 lbs
    8/18 - (weekly average) - 156.28
    8/25 - (weekly average) - 156.20
    8/31 - (weekly average) - 154.6

    I didn’t quite meet this month’s goal, after stalling out for three weeks at the beginning of the month. But... after turning my carbs down to less than 20g a day, progress started back up. I almost made my goal this month, and I’m hoping next week is even better!

    Saturday 8/31 = 158.1 (down .4 lbs) Kept to a strick Keto diet this week but my weight was yo-yoing up and down. Not surprising after a couple weeks of big loses. Managed to eek out a little loss overall for the week.

    August final results = 10.7 lbs lost
    August Goal Reached, Under 160 lbs (current weight 158.1)

    I missed my August goal weight by 0.5 pounds but I'm still VERY happy that I'm moving in the right direction.

    Time to kick September's buns!
