9/22 - 152.73
I gained this week, for the first time in three months! Was it stress? No hydrating enough? A sore back that slowed strength training?
Stay tuned for next week, to see if I can get into the 140s before October!2 -
WEIGH IN 9/22 was a relief for me because I had been on a plateau all week--a tiny budge today is a win! I made my goal for this week.
What I think helped:
STREAKING BEHAVIOR CONTINUES........no eating after dinner!
Final dose of MCT before bed...I tried 1tsp of MCT as a supplement before bed last night and maybe it worked.
Area of Improvement:
I would like to incorporate more fish into my diet. Since starting KETO I've been on a meat feeding frenzy.

SW: 128.4
CW: 121.8
GW: 110-113
Goal is to lose 1.3 lbs a week - I expect to lose 5 pounds in the month of Sept.
Process goals: eat full meals at 11am, 3pm, and 7 pm. After 7, only protein/MCT shakes. No snacking between meals. Track e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g!
Tricks to help: Chewing gum in the evening and between meals. Rely on drinking tea and broths when I have the feeling that I might start an eating frenzy (but I'm tired and not hungry).
Exercise: running and lifting routine.

Sept: GW: 225
GW: 180 lbs by July 1, 2020
Sept 1: 236.8 lbs (old scale)
Sept 8: 234.2 lbs (old scale)
Sept 15: 229.8 lbs (new scale)
Sept 24: 228.0 lbs
Sept 29:
Weight Lost in Sept to date: 8.6 lbs
Changed scales and started weighing myself first thing in the morning last week, previously was weighing in afternoons. So loss is inflated a few pounds in the change. New scale is more accurate it seems and I think morning weigh-ins seem more consistent day to day. Trying to lose 2 lbs per week which seems doable where I am now.

Hi, I'm new to the group. I'm working back into low carb as I fell off the wagon and down into a ravine last year and gained back 30#. I cannot exercise right now as I have a mass on my spine that is compressing my spinal cord. It's a challenge just to get around at all right now. Have add'l tests this week that will hopefully give us a direction for treatment.6 -

UGH! You're killing me smalls!!!!
This menopause thing has slowed weight loss down to a screeching halt. What I normally would've been able to lose in half the time is taking what seems like forever. I did see a non-scale victory though... inches lost, lots of them! I took my measurements and compared them to last March. Down 12"+ all over body, mostly in my midsection. So, that's a motivator for me.

September was a good keto month for me. I lost a total of 8.6 pounds this month. However, because of a very undisciplined keto year, I’ve only lost 5.5 pounds for the year. My goal for October is to continue to stay keto strong for a second consecutive month. I love the way I feel on keto. My thoughts are clear, memory is sharp, joints are pain free, winter dry skin is gone, and numerous other non-scale victories (NSVs) keep appearing day by day.
I can’t figure out why I keep reverting to my old eating habits that make my keto NSVs disappear. Tomorrow will be my 635th day of knowing about and trying to practice keto as a Way Of Existing (WOE). I can’t claim I’ve been living a Keto WOE all those days. I can say when I adhere closer to a Keto WOE, I’m happier, healthier and a better version of myself. I heart keto!

No goal in mind for September, lets see where Keto and exercise takes me. The needle didn't move in the first week. We'll see if I make progress by the beginning of next week. I did get three workouts in so far this week. Still no change in weight. I increased my number of workouts but I think the real secret is I've got to reduce the calories I take in. Keto's all well and good but not if I'm consuming more calories than I can burn! Well, at least I didn't gain anything. Decided that I'm "eating until I'm full" so instead, I will be doubling my workouts from 3 per week to 6 per week (2 on Saturdays). That will still give me 2 days to rest. C'mon October!!!

Progress was sloooooow and I didn't get to where I wanted to be. But! I made some progress. My work schedule has changed drastically (I am a professor and classes have started back up), so squeezing in exercise is more difficult. I may have to get curtains for my office so I can do push ups and abs!3 -
