FEBRUARY 2020 Challenge

Hello. I'm new to Keto and am looking for a way to challenge myself to stay on track. Hope I'm not too late to join this February challenge. I added myself to the spreadsheet. I'm not sure how to even calculate a goal weight for the month at this point. If anyone could offer some guidance there, I'd appreciate it.

January was not my best month. I did lose weight, but my diet was pretty lax the past 2 weeks. I'm back on track for February really trying to get back to my baseline of food choices and not giving in to the chocolates everywhere at work. I want my goal weight by my birthday and it's completely achievable with 5 pounds every month.4 -

I'd just say keep it realistic! No point in setting yourself goals you can't keep, that way failure lies! A lot depends on how long you've been trying to loss weight etc etc but go for a pound a week and hope for the best. 4 pounds down or even less is better than going up. It's always hard to remember it took a while to add the weight and it takes even longer to take it off, unfair but true; in my case at least!0 -

Does anyone have any recommendations for easy/quick food/snacks that are high in protein but low in carbs? Aside from cheese and eggs. I'm coming pretty close to my carb and fat goals each day, but I know I'm not getting enough protein. I'm still working on it, but I'm wondering if someone has already cracked the code for an uncomplicated food that might solve this. Thanks!0

Assuming you eat meat and fish then any of those. I always have some cold roast chicken in the fridge or maybe some ham. Also there are some very nice almost zero carb sausages here in the UK at least so a few of those precooked, so you can just grab one. If you are out and wanting something then some stores have protein snack pots with things like king prawns in them. Other people may do other things!

I keep those pouches of tuna in my pantry for exactly the purpose you are talking about.2 -
Highest Weight: 321.0
Keto Start Weight: 304.5
Current Weight: 245.8
February Goal Weight: 239.9
Sunday. 02/02 245.8 (-0.2)
Sunday. 02/09 247.4 (+1.6)
??? I am not sure about the cause of this. I tried a couple of new workouts this week, and was pretty sore, so I am going to chalk it up to that, and hope next week this takes care of itself.2 -

Last week was a challenge; Superbowl after I weighed in last Sunday and an award banquet, I attended last night. Both of those events were Non-keto friendly for sure. This week we have Valentine’s Day and the next week I go on a 2-week vacation. So, it is going to be hard to be keto clean for the rest of this month. In fact, I will even be without my trusty scale for the last two weeks of this month.
Hey, if it was easy anyone could do it! Valentine’s Day and vacation are “Good” problems to have.

We were out to dinner last night! Saturday morning I was 170.2 and this morning..... and that was with me avoiding the chocolates, the rice, the carrots but not the champagne..........Still it will go during the week but not as fast as it went on!1 -
New to this group! 😁 excited to be part of a community about keto! I look forward having keto as part of my lifestyle. RN our office’s department is hosting the biggest loser contest and I also took part of that hoping that the company I’d be in would be very supportive. Turns out they’re not. LOL they’re in for the money so I guess I should not expect that much 😂 anyway, I look forward to everyone’s progress. Let’s do this! Will be more strict and diligent in my food intake. I kind of fell off ketosis 2x in January 😅 won’t do that again.4

Sunday. 02/09 - 151.2 I want to say even though I have only lost 3.4 pounds in 2020 I have lost 2 inches on waist, 1 inch on hips and .5in on upper thigh since the first of the year. I refuse to know my chest measurements 😕 I had to really search for exact weightloss as it has been so frustrating!!!
