With the weather cooling down I am SO not motivated to walk outside, and it's a pain to drive to town to get on the treadmill at the gym. But I'm determined to do some sort of exercise at least twice a week, and if I make it more than that it will be icing on the cake (but I certainly won't eat any). This weight is without…

Howdy, all! I'm going to weigh in from start to finish the whole month, not just on the Sundays. I have cautious hope that I will break through the 50s this month even with the holidays. I was able to walk for several days this week and that made the scale move quite nicely. October numbers look like I lost 5 pounds for…

I know this is a late post on the October thread, but wanted to get it in for the record. SW - 175 GW - 140 10/7 - 156.6 (+4 - Traveling) 10/14 - 154.4 (-2.2) 10/21 - 152 (-2.4) 10/28 - 152 10/31 - 151.6 (-.8)

It's been a good month so far. I've lost all that I gained while visiting a completely non-keto family at the beginning of the month and even a little bit more. And that's without exercising at all because of time conflicts and bad weather. I was just thinking wouldn't it be awesome if I could break through the 150s this…

Hi all, I think it's been about three weeks since I've checked in. Just been traveling and such. Took a trip to visit my son and family and there were no keto choices at all so I didn't push it. Came home a few pounds up, but have lost most of it. Also, it's been yucky weather when I have time to get out and walk so my…

It's been difficult to keep up with logging for the past 2 weeks and loss had slowed. (Actually stopped) I'm traveling this week so it won't get any better till I get home. Hope to get back on track next week. Monday 10/1: 153 Sunday 10/07: Sunday 10/14: Sunday 10/21: Sunday 10/28: Wednesday 10/31:

Ok, so I've been AWOL for about a week very busy with festivals and guests, etc. I haven't been logging food, but still trying to stay on track. I know what works for me and what doesn't ... and, yes, I've been eating things that DON'T work for me very well! But I've kept those bad things to a minimum and have managed to…

I'm a bit late to sign in this week. Had a super busy weekend with food choices beyond my control at times so I retained a bit of water from the extra carbs. I'm sure that will fall off in the next couple of days. I'm still very satisfied with my progress this month. I believe I will meet my goal. SW - January - 175…

I KNEW my gain last week wouldn't last! That's one of the many great things about keto. Once you get back on track after a splurge or situations you can't control, just climb back on and ride and your body will adjust itself. This loss is even after a day at the ballgame tailgating and driving for six hours! All I had at…

I was out of town visiting friends over the holiday weekend. Not too surprising that I gained a little. It wasn't as bad as I expected! I have every confidence that it will come off quickly. SW - January - 175 September goal - weigh less than 153.6 Goal - 140 Sunday 09/02 - 155 (+1.4) Sunday 09/09 - Sunday 09/16 - Sunday…

I'm so pleased with my progress this month. I thought it would be the biggest loss in a month since I started, but January was higher at 6lbs. So this is the second highest. Bring on September! Keto Jan SW: 175 August Goal: less than 157.6 Goal Weight: 140 Sunday 08/05 - 157.2 (-.4) Sunday 08/12 - 156 (-1.2) Sunday 08/19 -…

I'm on a roll. Let's do this! My original goal when I started in January was 150. I set it that high because I was so discouraged after months of trying to lose to no avail. I didn't want to set it at something unreachable. Now I'm 4 lbs away from my original goal! Keto was the key. I stalled for three months bouncing…

One more weigh-in on Friday and this month will be wrapped up. I'm quite pleased that I showed a loss this week. I ate some things I shouldn't have this weekend and was afraid that I would end up with water weight. I'm trying to imagine what the loss would have been had I not indulged! I have the whole week to move that…

I feel very good about this week. I was away at my daughter's house for the weekend for grand-daughter's birthday. You all know how that goes! I still came in with a loss. Yippee!! My daughter knows how I eat now and isn't offended when I bring my own food. She hadn't seen me in more than 4 months and the first thing she…

Down she goes! I've been very diligent about logging and exercising. It's paid off. Keeping my macros at good percentages. I'm finally feeling like I have control over this and have broken through the 60s and am well into the 50s. Sometimes after a walk in the heat I weigh myself just to see the scale move dramatically…

Things are moving in the right direction. I've already met my August goal! LOL :) That's the beauty of not setting a poundage. It's not much but I'll take it as opposed to the stagnation I've had for the last three months. We'll see how much farther I can go, it's only the first week and a short one at that from the last…

Based on my experience and disappointments over the last few months, I'm going to continue my mindset of not setting a number of pounds as a goal. I'll simply be happy to weigh less than I do today by the end of the month. Keto Jan SW: 175 Current Weight: 157.6 August Goal: less than 157.6 Goal Weight: 140 Sunday 08/05…

I did it! It happened! I met my goal for July by 8/10ths of a pound!! All of a sudden some water weight just dropped off these last couple of days and I shed 4 pounds. Now, to keep going and doing what made it happen? We'll see. I've not been consuming alcohol, except on Friday evenings (Shabbat, and I've cut back even…

Sheesh. I've been bouncing on the same two or three pounds for three months now. Ugh! And I've gained a pound every week this month. How is this possible??? I'm quite discouraged. I'm going to completely eliminate the adult beverages. It's not that much, but it could be just enough alcohol to sabotage whatever other good…

The July challenge, daily check-in, and the spreadsheet are all gone, what happened??

So what happened to the announcements on the keto group board? I had to get here from my phone notifications.

Well, I'm going the wrong direction at the moment, but I've had company for a week and haven't been able to get much exercise. Nor did I do very well at logging food. I didn't have any problem staying on the eating plan, but I probably had more wine and beer than was necessary. Oh, well. I'll keep plugging away! I have two…

Late to the party this week. I've had company all week and they will be here for a few more days. Last week we were out of town and came home with a small gain. Isn't that just the way it always is?? Ugh. But I'm sticking to it and trying to feed my guests well. Fortunately, my friend is gluten-free and understands my WOE,…

@stormywxs288 Beware of cutting it cold turkey. You will have headaches for several days. I used to drink a lot of it until I figured out that the caffeine was making my heart do weird things. It took me three days to get it out of my system and finally feel like myself again. Now I drink decaf and I'm just fine with that.…

Here we go, July. My goal for this month is the same as @lcantrell65 ... to weight less than 158.4. I love that goal! Even if it's just half a pound, I've met my goal! I would very much like to say that I have a goal of reaching 156 by the end of July, but my lips are sealed and I will not utter those words. :wink: I don't…

Exactly! Sometimes it's a struggle to be hungry enough to eat enough calories! What kind of a crazy, wonderful diet is that?!

Have a great time in Nebraska! I'm living the good life in that great state. You are on a roll, girl! Wish I had a walking partner like you!

I made a great discovery a few days ago. I have had my suspicions about conspiratorial tendencies in my scale. My husband was the one who rooted out the truth when he weighed himself before taking a shower and then for the heck of it weighed again after his shower and discovered that taking showers makes him gain weight. 3…

Age doesn't matter here! I just turned 57. Going strong!

I'm in too! Best group ever. I am seeing results! Sunday 07/01 Sunday 07/08 Sunday 07/15 Sunday 07/22 Sunday 07/29
