    @HoopsGuy72 If I remember correctly, any color on the pee sticks indicates ketones are present. The problem is they measure ketones that your body is throwing off. Once you become fat adapted, they will have no reaction because your body is running on ketones not sugar. I believe with the sticks I had, darker was better BUT the color can change because you are dehydrated also. I finally bought a meter and strips which requires a finger prick. It’s expensive and I DO test daily but that is my choice.

    I’m so glad you’re back! Hope things are getting better there. I have totally quit reading any info about COVID and the election. Enough said.

    Thanks for the info (any other info is always welcome, of course!). Things aren't MUCH better overall, but I feel SO MUCH BETTER when I'm healthy. I'm going to focus as much as I can on this tiny little slice of life that I have any control over.

    I'm so sorry that you had a bad experience with keto. It's worked really well for me in the past, so hopefully I'll have similar positive results this time around.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    11/02 …..208.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
    11/03 …..207.6 ….. TMI helped. Just sayin’…… Good luck everyone on this round!

    11/04 …..????? ….. I can’t believe I forgot to weigh in today before the half pot of coffee I have already drank! Will have to wait until tomorrow. Yesterday was an excellent day for meals and movement. The snacks were a bit much but, otherwise, all well-chosen meals. I hope to get in a lot more movement today. I had to cancel my far-away oncology and mammogram appointments due to insurance issues. Rescheduled for spring to avoid bad weather driving, 4 hours each way.

    11/05 …..206.6 ….. I figured that it would be pretty good on the scale today. The last couple of days have been filled with lots of work & some lower calorie choices. Not perfect but I knew it would reflect well on the scale.

    11/06 …..205.2 ….. More movement for sure and it’s helping. So much going on around here. I will explain when I have more time, but in the meantime, I am really trying to watch it and move as best I can!

    11/07 …..205.2 ….. I am just happy to be the same today. I had a severe glucose drop last night. I managed to stay away from the panic and the feeding frenzy that usually accompany diabetic sugar drops, but I still stuffed things into my pie hole that I would not normally pick due to sheer need and fear. Thankfully the scale was okay today. I know what happened. I took my normal lunch and cut it in half to eat for dinner. Problem: my lunch was very very small to begin with so it was just not enough carbs or calories. I will be more careful today. Low cal volume with some reasonable carbs are on the menu!


    11/08 …..206.0 ….. Stayed with small meals yesterday and some extra movement so I am a little stumped. However, no TMI and my meals may have been a bit too salty (??). We will see what tomorrow brings.

    11/09 …..xxxxx …..

    11/10 …..xxxxx …..

    11/11 …..xxxxx …..

    11/12 …..xxxxx …..
