Recently back too. I have had to be on high dose steroids for a serious lung inflammation, so trying to battle the side effects of the steroids with low carb eating. Happy to be friends with anyone.

Looking for the same thing. Going to try some wings today.

Wednesday January 1st. 191.6 Sunday. 01/05 190 (-1.4) Sunday. 01/12 Sunday. 01/19 Sunday. 01/26 Friday 01/31. (to finish the month)

I'm in and need the challenge! JANUARY 2020 Wednesday January 1st. 191.6 Sunday. 01/05 Sunday. 01/12 Sunday. 01/19 Sunday. 01/26 Friday 01/31. (to finish the month)

Quest protein chips (pricey) and nuts are two of my favorite snacks.

Bought some (loaded taco) when I read this post yesterday. I am a fan!

I had significant hair loss when I first started this WOE. After a lot of research, I think it was just the rapid weight loss. When the weight loss slowed, the hair stopped falling out.

Need all the help I can get to start out the year after a 15 pound gain. CW: 188 GW Jan 31: 178 On day 3. My diary is public.

Thanks, I needed to hear that it is normal. I knew it couldn't be fat, but thought it would drop off as fast as it came on. And it was such a shock, thought for sure I would come home having lost a few pounds! I am feeling pretty good. Thanks for the support.

ingredients: Milk and cream, eggs, erythritol, prebiotic fiber, milk protein concentrate, chocolate chips (sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, butter, fat reduced cocoa powder, soy lecithin), organic cane sugar, vegetable glycerin, sea salt, natural flavors, organic carob gum, organic guar gum, organic stevia.…

Feel free to add me or just browse my public diary.

Just got back from a week (and two 8 hour travel days) of taking care of my 89 year old mother with late stage Alzheimers. I had good intentions of staying keto - went to the store first thing. But as the stressful week went on and with all the other food around I caved. I didn't really enjoy any of the carby junk except…

I was wondering why extreme weight loss (38 pounds in 5 months is great, but hardly seems extreme) would cause hair to fall out. When I read the following paragraph from Prevention Magazine, I had an aha moment. I take all 3 of the medications listed and have been under a high level of stress (5 family members moved in…

Thanks. My calorie goal is 1400 because I am sedentary (although I am always planning to start exercising). And my weight loss has been around a pound a week for a while. My macros are 5/20/75 and I hit them pretty much every day. I tracked every day except the last 4 when I took a break from logging (not keto) while out…

I still freak out when the scale doesn't move, but I don't give up, I double down.

My diary is open. I have been logging since Jan 2016.

I eat under 20 g total most days. Carbs come from dairy and veggies. I don't worry if I go over if it is from fiber from veggies. I use total carbs just because it is easier with MFP.

Great health outcomes. 40% - wow

Atkins shakes have not been loaded up with sugar alcohols like the other Atkins products, so I have them once in a while. They have 2 total carbs.

Thanks for sharing. Inspirational. Happy toning. You look great.

Always want more friends.

I lost the Stanley Cup. Hope they don't mind.

I do still get some hunger pangs while I fast, but I have learned that it is OK if I wait a while and if they don't subside, I can eat. My reaction used to be OMG, I have to eat right now. Now I am learning to listen to my body and not over react at the first sign of hunger. I like that feeling of being more aware, but…

Mine is also open, feel free to add me.

Although this stuff scares me, I think it is helpful to know it is coming and that when I reach my goal weight, it will not necessarily be easier and it might be even harder. I am committed to this WOE, and as @baconslave says, I have a say. I will find a way to keep the weight off.

I stay under 20 total carbs almost every day at 5/20/75/1400 Kcal, but as a post menopausal women with insulin restistance, I am not sure the carbs are low enough. Some days I just feel like eating all day long and other days I feel fine. I have lost 32 pounds in 3.5 months, so that is great. So, I think I am going to buy…

Thanks

Anyone have a good experience? I am thinking about getting one to track my responses to certain food choices. I don't want to spend all that money if they don't work. I'm fat adapted, so my only other choice would be a blood meter and the strips are soooo expensive. Any advice welcome.

So happy for you. Love this group.
