Hope everyone is staying safe and well.
I guess weight doesn't exactly matter at this time but staying as healthy as you can does. For many of us Keto helps us feel good and that can't be a disadvantage at the moment.
Feel very welcome to join, we usually post our weigh Sundays and use the 'Keto Monthly Challenge Spreadsheet' also in 'Announcements' to track weight.
You can post your weight here and also in the Keto Monthly Challenge Spreadsheet which Stormy updates.
We use this thread to encourage each other and to add our weight as well.

I spring here in eastern Washington state. I’m especially looking forward to spring this year as we are beginning to open back up from this pandemic lockdown. Along with a few pounds, I’m hoping to lose many of the restrictions we’ve been saddled with. I can’t wait to start exercising with my friends and family again. I’ll have to wait until the fall to join another bowling league, but my softball team is scheduled to start practicing soon with an opening day of June 9th.
So welcome May! It is time to get back to normal. If I could see your faces, I would hope it would be without a face coverings and big smiles.

I am gradually moving towards a full keto diet. I have subscribed to the “Diet Doctor” web site for information and recipes.
Question: How are you measuring your ketosis status?2 -
Hello! This is my first time participating. 🤗 I’ve been keto for about six days.

Welcome to everyone new!
@hallene actually I generally don't, but when I do, maybe once a month or so, I use Keto Sticks. After you've been keto a while you are fat adapted so your body is running on ketones so you don't really have to measure as long as you keep your carbs low. Also check out Amy Berger on Tuit Nutrition she has a lot of really good stuff about this (IMO!!)2 -
I'm game! First timer. I've been keto (this time
) since mid Feb.

First time poster in this Group; been lurking for a bit. I've been consistently on Keto for 2 months now with no slip ups (especially tough with the "Stay @ Home boredom"). I lost about 110 pounds before starting Keto (low carb/cal counting), but I really want to get another 30 off. My losses have been super slow even though I'm still "overweight" and I only lost 2.2 lbs in April following the Carb Manager app 20-25% calories deficit and macros. Much better than gaining though! I feel good eating this way and just have to keep reminding myself of that when the cravings are bad. Let's do this!

Welcome KB2020. We are blessed to have an over 100-pound loser join our group. I for one, am looking forward to your perspective as someone who has successfully navigated yourself from a life-threatening weight to a healthy place. I share the struggle of those last thirty pounds with you. I hope you get past the lurking stage and share some of your positive experiences with us. Thanks for joining us on this thread and the aforementioned spreadsheet.

Hello, I have about 80 lbs. to lose. I have been successful on keto but....(insert excuse). i’m hoping to meet some friends to support and encourage each other. I’ve had my my first keto day today in months. Didn’t reach my macro goals but it was more reasonable.

So; I should be pleased and I am, but Thursday I was 157 so I've gone up a little every day since then but when I look back it's still down since last Sunday so that's good. Not as wonderful as Thursday was but I should know by now that every time and I mean, every darn time, I woosh down I bounce back up a bit for a while but still it's annoying!
Hope everyone is well 3 -
Happy to say I’m starting May with a loss of 2.4 pounds. Thanks to a suggestion from a friend on this forum, I read “Life in the Fasting Lane”. I’ve been using intermittent fasting (IF) and keto for over 480 days now. Keto has changed me from an unfit/unhealthy/unhappy/un(fill in the blank) individual to a person on the verge of reaching my fitness goals.
I am so thankful for where keto and IF have taken me, but I feel like I’ve been stuck just short of my goals for too long. I’m hoping that extended fasting is going to give me the push I need to reach those goals. I feel so close but what I’ve been doing for over 480 days isn’t quite getting me there. Here’s hoping “Life in the Fast Lane” guides me to navigate those last few steps. Thanks for the advice 166jackie.

Hi Keto Friends!
I'm back and ready to get into this challenge now. Tomorrow is my 3 month post-op mark; I'm now able to do a little more movement. For the last three months I've been under my surgeon's orders to only walk and nothing more. I still can't do the BLT's - bend, lift or twist. Still in a brace and using a cane (YAY, no more 4-wheel walker). I lost a couple pounds during my 16 days in the hospital, even though I was pumped full of IV fluids and I was quite swollen from the surgical trauma. I'm sure the three days of only ice chips had something to do with that loss.
I know my body has been through a lot and I need to be patient and let it do its healing. However, I really want to get back to a regimented way of eating.
I've managed to put on 5 pounds in the last 2-3 weeks with "quarantine eating". Oh the carbs, all these f&!$ing carbs! I even ate Oreos!
I don't even like Oreos and hadn't eaten them since high school. I've begun mindlessly eating anything and everything.
Looking forward to some discipline and accountability!!! Happy and thankful to be back in this May challenge with all of you.

@TheMerryMermaid welcome back and glad you are making good progress, remember you take time to heal and don't try too much too quickly! 3
