    Hello! I would like to join. Crazy when I read the OP's stats and our starting weight is the same. That must mean I am supposed to be here. I started squeaky clean keto on the 3rd. No grains, legumes, nuts, dairy or alcohol.

    Jan 1: Start weight for 2022 190.4
    Jan 2: 190.4 weighed Jan 3

    Today marks 9 days of being keto clean for my wife and me this year. We challenged each other to stay keto clean for the first 100 days of the year. Nine down and only 91 to go, HA! Seriously, I’ve been using covid, climate change, Y2K and every excuse I could to avoid doing the things I know I should.

    Keto has worked very well for me when I did it right. I’ve been doing keto-ish for over 3 years now. My trouble is I get good results then think I can get cute and sneak bad carbs back in while still eating high fat.

    So, hopefully for the next 100 days, with the help and support of my wife and you guys, I will report back here with a clean record each week. Stay tuned and feel free to hold me accountable. I’ll do the same for you.

    Dkginger it must be kismet. Along with my wife, we re-started keto on New Year’s Day. Our goal is to reach 100 days being “Sqeaky Clean” as you say. Talk is cheap though! That is why I like this group. I feel obligated to put up stats as well as just smack talk. Welcome aboard “Squeaky”. Hope to see you often with good news to report.

    Pretty successful week. This is all water. Good habits set. I'm hoping I can last the month on keto. Unfortunately I have an autoimmune disease called Sjogren's (also called Dry Body Disease) and keto keeps water off me really well. Which unfortunately causes problematic dry eye and mouth issue. And eye irritation and damage to my corneas if gets too bad. I'm starting to show signs of my eyes being very uncooperative. I hope this is as bad as it gets, and I can continue. This is why I stopped keto in the first place. :unamused:

    Very pleased with my first week but it's the second and third weeks where I usually just stay static and lose motivation -I've been here plenty of times before. This time I'm not going to get disheartened on any bouncing up and down and just going to keep focussed and keep going.

    Here I go again! Holidays are over and I just got back from our annual winter vacation, kids are back in school and I'm back at work and it's time to get serious (once again). Happy to see some familiar people and I hope everyone is doing well.

    Unfortunately, I have about 40lbs to lose. I am flexible on my goal weight because depending on how much I work out, I am not as concerned about the number on the scale as much as I am about my size and getting rid of this fat I have been hanging on to.

    I will turn 52 in March of this year and it really does get harder as I get older. Having 4 kids is no excuse, but I do feel it has affected my body. It sure had affected every other area of my life (in the best possible ways!)

    I have the best results if I follow a lower fat version of Keto, which is basically a low carb/high protein diet. I cannot do high fat, because that makes it too hard for me to keep my calories in check. Protein is essential to not lose muscle and my hormones are way out of whack when I eat too many carbs. I know what works for my body, it is just a matter of me being disciplined and doing it. Wish that weren't so hard! I am my own worst enemy most of the time. This group and logging my food has been amazing for me in the past and I'm happy to be here.

    Happy New Year! I'm so happy to see some old familiar names on here.

    I joined in 2018 and with the support of this group lost 30lbs in about 5 months. I maintained that loss for several years. When Covid hit it all hit the fan and I have gained back that weight and then some in the last two years. So, here I am again, hoping to get and give the same amazing support and inspiration I got almost 4 years ago. I love Keto because it works and because I feel great when I'm doing it.

    I've cleaned up my Keto act this time and taken it easy on the cured meats and cheese. I'm eating more fish and chicken and avocados.

    EggFoo, I remember you. Welcome back. Also, KLD and BaconSlave thanks for all you’ve done to keep this thread and our spreadsheet alive. It is time for all of us to get past Covid and move forward with things that will work for all of us. I’m already inspired and motivated by the comments from everyone in this group. Can’t wait to hear all of your stories as we move forward towards our goals in 2022.

    Today is my birthday, I’m 72 years old. Some of my presents are: A total of 11.2 pounds lost, a total of over 7 inches off several body measurements and I don’t have to cause a hernia straining to button my favorite pair of jeans. Ha! Seriously, it feels good to be on a positive trend for the first 16 days of this year.

    Happy Birthday, Stormy!!

    The results below are deceiving. My first weight was taken at the doctor's office with shoes and clothes on. My most recent is from my bathroom scale sans clothing items. Here's hoping next week I really am down 4 lbs.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY STORMY! We are so fortunate to be in this group with you!!

    After it being hit or miss, I'm back in the gym this week (3 times!) and it feels really good. Today I actually looked forward to going which is nice. It helps that one of our daughters (16) goes with me. I still have a few things in my diet I need to get rid of, but I'll get there. A huge thing for me is just going to bed at night. When I stay up and get tired, I want to eat!

    KLD you and MFP friends like you are my heroes. I only have to manage for myself, and my wife also takes care of me in addition to that You have 4 kids at home, work and manage your household.

    We have something in common, I work out with my daughter (48) three times a week (Mon, Wed, Fri). We do a program called Daily Burn. I look forward to it too. We keep each other accountable and we get to be together at least 3 times each week.

    Not losing fast enough for me. But then part of me expects to lose it all yesterday. Silly silly. Every week I get a loss, even if it's not a full pound, tells me I'm on the right path and doing the right things, and I just need to be patient and KCKO. Which I of course know, but my inner brat will always be bratty. :joy:
