2 Jan:

1. Log, min 500 deficit, aim for 750 - yes, I think will end up being around 950 by Fitbit
   
2. Net carbs under 50, protein over 100 - yes (43) and yes (117).
   
3. 5000 steps a day min (this is bumping from 3000, there may be bad days where I don't make it, but that's a given) - 7716 (plus whatever bedtime ritual gives, which won't be much)
   
4. Min 30 min walk unless I'm too unwell - yup, though bitsy doing errands.
   
5. 30 Days of Yoga - Fail, haven't watched intro vid yet...
   
6. Start riding my bike again - got Agnes out and dusted off the cobwebs (actually, I just told the spiders to hold on tight) and pottered around for about 25 mins. So leisurely Fitbit didn't even pick up on it as exercise (though I did get my heart rate up).
   
7. Soft weight loss goal of 2kg - I'll be doing diet break starting late in the month, so will have some gain from refilling glycogen stores
   
8. Diet break!!! Two weeks of summer fruit. - start Jan 24

Fixed watercress garden, though I think I will modify it some more (it's close enough to the bathroom drain that I may as well move it along and set it so it drains in that direction so at least some of the water goes down there when I do refreshes. Also picked up some other seedling bundles when I was out - fancy red lettuce and beetroot, plus I have basil that I got at the same time as the water cress. My mesclun seedlings that I planted for the fist lot are very heavy on mustard greens and other quite spicy/pungent stuff (I really have no idea what any of it is, TBH), so I wanted some more mild things to balance those out. Not yet planted because it hosed down this evening, so I didn't get the planters set up. Also I think I need more soil (I can get one done, but also need to sow more mesclun seeds and radishes). The beets are primarily for the greens, but I'll probably let the roots get to baby beet size for eating.

Hi, Iam new to the group. Started back on track the day after Christmas. First weigh in today, down 8.6 lbs. I have around 130 lbs to lose. Just retired this year and really want to lose this fat and get fit once and for all. Would appreciate some committed low carb friends to help encourage each other on this journey. My goals for January are:
Starting weight: 294.2
Current weight: 285.6
Goal weight: 150 lbs
Current loss: 8.6 lbs
Carbs: 30< for right now
Calories: 1200 calories
Drink lots of water, and start moving
God Bless and praying all of us to find our own why and doing the work to get it done this year.
Sherri 🙂

I am also doing a reset after being Keto off and on (more on than off) for a few years. Starting a 2 1/2 day fast today to fast-track ketosis and cleanse. I have a number of chronic illnesses: Adrenal fatigue, IBS, IC...jus to name a few and they all go into remission or at least are managed by keto. So here I go - I also hope to meet my weight goal in 2021 after having gone round this bush with the weight loss/gain for 10 years. When I was strict keto I was well on my way but 2020 - in all its glory - put all that weight back on that I'd lost (and I'll blame 2020, because it couldn't have possibly been me! Right? 😂😂😂)

I'm afraid 2020 is the reason for many people's weight gain, even those who haven't struggled before. I know I tend to head to the fridge many times a day when working from home. Be kind to yourself! ~ Luanne

So my calories were okay but based on my activity level I should have had a nice deficit. The little bit of ice cream I had could have trimmed off some of those calories.

Carbs were under 100 and protein over so a decent day! I haven’t weighed in yet but plan to do so Monday as I start working again and join a friend’s weight loss comp. Maybe I’ll do some measurements as well.

3 Jan:

1. Log, min 500 deficit, aim for 750 - yes
   
2. Net carbs under 50, protein over 100 - yes (49) and yes (115).
   
3. 5000 steps a day min (this is bumping from 3000, there may be bad days where I don't make it, but that's a given) - 10,228 (who is this energetic person??)
   
4. Min 30 min walk unless I'm too unwell - yup, 50 min evening walk
   
5. 30 Days of Yoga - Yes!! My right hip flexors are horrifically tight, so I need to do some extra work on those. Otherwise I'm not too terrible given how long it's been. I think I'll limber up again fairly quickly, though might be a while before I'm pulling off near perfect tree pose like in my profile pic!
   
6. Start riding my bike again - not today, no time.
   
7. Soft weight loss goal of 2kg - I'll be doing diet break starting late in the month, so will have some gain from refilling glycogen stores
   
8. Diet break!!! Two weeks of summer fruit. - start Jan 24

Also got another container garden set up this evening so I could get the red lettuces I bought yesterday in. They are looking very much worse for wear, and I'm not actually sure they'll make it. Let that be a lesson against buying seedlings when I don't already have bed space for them...I'll get the other container set up tomorrow so I can get basil plants in (though I think I will distribute these throughout all the containers), and sow some seeds. I also have a borage seedling to plant, and some more calendulas, so I'll need to sort out some more bins at work on Tuesday and get holes drilled in them.
