It' is pretty interesting how this happens. I feel my body/emotions changing as I eat foods that I have been avoiding for years - cheese, eggs, beef/pork/dark meat. Those continuous cravings seem to be fading. However, sometimes I want something refreshing or lite. Cucumbers work really well for this. Any other suggestions?
I'm a fan of iceberg lettuce! Even in the winter I'll often have a salad for dinner. Check out the carbs on things like pickled dill cucumbers as well. A nice crunch if you get the right kind! Maybe others have some favourites to go to.

I have been adding celery and almond butter to my snacks for a break. Still has the fat, but the celery is light.0 -
Started keto 7 days ago, I have been starting to feel the full sensation and fighting through my habit of boredom eating. I also cut my beverage of choice, pepsi, out cold turkey. We all know what pop/soda can do, but my craving for that has faded exponentially as I include more water into my lifestyle. I feel like for just starting I am doing okay, and need to power through.

Not expecting to get to my GW for this month, not with this plateau blocking progress
Just have to keep pushing through it. It is pretty frustrating though. 5 weeks now with no significant loss.4 -

I still had a loss this week, but I know I'm struggling with my eating. I'll do EXCELLENT for 3-4 days, and then the weekend comes and I just stop doing it, and I'm not sure why. Like I'm aware that I'm eating things I don't need, but I do it anyway. The week is easy because I have a pretty set routine, but on the weekends it's a free for all. Oh well, another week!3 -

A little background and reminder for those struggling at the start of keto. I first did keto 3 years ago and lost 30lbs real quick. Put it all back on slowly and tried calorie in/ calorie out last fall with little success. Thus I realized keto was the way to go as I felt great on it. Started 5 weeks ago with slow progress. But cravings were down, my mood stabilized and I knew I was eventually going to lose. So I was relieved this week when the whoosh came with a loss of 3.7lbs. That’s a total of 9lbs in 5 weeks.4 -

I had a rough day emotionally yesterday and started the first 10 hours of my day only eating smokies. I didn't feel hungry so I snacked on something within the diet needs. This is the first time that my emotional eating hasn't derailed my goals.
This is day 3 of isolation because the Covid-19 restrictions. I had to go to the grocery store today to buy meat. My family has plenty of pasta to last forever it fesls like and I am staying away best I can. Hopefully I can keep up the will power.

Finally a noticeable drop on the scales again. I'm not going to hold my breath, but I'm hoping I've tipped over the side of the plateau finally
I've decreased my total carbs down to less the 30 per day rather than 40 per day. Amazing what 10 carbs a day seems to do..3 -

I have officially entered the “Senior Moment Movement”. I have been following this forum since sometime in 2016 or possibly 2017. I know we start up a new thread each month. I should really know this well, because I’ve been maintaining the companion spreadsheet for this group.
Here is what I have done that should earn me a place me on the “MFP Senior Moment Mount Rushmore”. I went on a vacation in mid-February and when I returned, I kept posting on February’s thread. I’ve been posting there for the last 3 weeks and couldn’t figure out why nobody else was posting there. I even wrote a post asking why nobody was posting on my favorite site!
So, lucky for me, BaconSlave read my plea for help and notified me we have moved on to March. Thank you for your gentle reminder. I know I should be embarrassed by this, but actually will wear this as a badge of courage. I’m blessed to be in such a place where it doesn’t really matter to me what day/month/moment I am in. And I’m lucky to have this forum filled with good friends who tolerate and accommodate my “Seniorness”.
Anyway. I’m back in the present! I MFP and our MONTHLY challenge.

I am down 7lbs. I started out with more energy, but with everything going on I am slowly losing the will to keep up. Any recipes to keep me going?

Hi Stormy I LOVE this!! Also I'm sorry I didn't notice! I thought you were on holiday or doing a not weighing thing, not that you'd gone crazy! Just remember there's only one Sunday left in March and don't get too cosy here, I'll be posting April's Challenge soon!

Check out the Diet Doctor site, loads of great recipes and ideas. Also keep going you've been doing well.1 -
I think I may have symptoms of Covid-15. NOT Covid-19 but Covid-15! I’m on a trend to gain 15 pounds because many of the strategies I use to combat weight gain are postponed or suspended. My daily exercise class, softball season, bowling leagues and my volunteering duties have all been put on a shelf until this pandemic is under control.
In addition, because I’m in the at-risk age group, many of the things I do to keep busy and distracted from grazing are forbidden due to my need to social distance/isolate. Meetings, groups, clubs and social gatherings are all on my no-fly list.
The good news is, I have lots of things around home II have been putting off. I should get to work on them. I’ll be back here Sunday. I may still may be displaying Covid-15 symptoms, but many of the neglected things on my home to-do list will be checked off.

OMG!
I almost snorted my coffee!
That's a great plan though!0 -
Sorry to stick my nose in here again but here's a post of the link for the next month's challenge:
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10790276/april-monthly-challenge#latest
I'll pin it above in the Stickies in early April if that's ok. My rationale on leaving it under Discussions for a little bit is for new folk who don't know to look in the stickies yet might see it. Anyway, here this is for the current challengers.
I'll bow out now. 0 -
