Ready for May! I love this group. I'm changing my goal weight from 150 to 140. Up until about 12 years ago I was below 130 but I've since been through menopause and just normal aging. I don't think 140 is unreasonable and it may take most of the summer to get there, but I'm confident I can do it with this new way of…

Well I seem to have hit a wall this week. I haven't been able to get much exercise lately. Hopefully now that the weather is gong to be warmer here i can get outside and walk. I've been cooped up too long. Gained back pretty much everything I had worked so hard to lose this month. Drat! It's got to be just water because…

That happens to me after I've indulged in something carby. It really does make a difference. Way to go not caving! Protein and fat are the ticket to beating the hungries.

@char1iej Good for you in that you made the decision to buckle down and do it right! You have a beautiful granddaughter, almost as beautiful as mine! ;) May God give you the strength to persevere and improve your health as you lose the pounds.

@stormywxs288 I agree with you, Stormy, it's much easier to be on this journey with people you can talk to rather than depending on videos and blogs and slogging through the down times all by yourself. I started being interested in keto back in October of last year when I came across Dr. Eric Berg's videos. It's been a…

I was afraid that I would have a gain today as I've been away from home helping my daughter with a new baby. Grandchild number 10! I was totally surprised to step on the scale this morning with a whole pound left behind! The key was taking some of my own food so I wouldn't have to burden my daughter with having to purchase…

Nebraska!

Down half a pound from last week after having the stomach bug for a few days and dropping 3 pounds. Sure wish those would have stayed off! Oh, well. I managed to leave some of it behind. Yay! Start Weight: 175.0 lbs Today's Weight: 164.0 lbs Sunday 04/01 - 164 (-.5) Sunday 04/08 Sunday 04/15 Sunday 04/22 Sunday 04/29

Hi, gang! I'm in for another month (and however many months it takes me to get to my goal)! My loss has been slow but steady. Only lost 3.5 pounds last month, but I'll take that over nothing or gaining more. I don't think of keto as a diet, it's a different way of eating. The best part is, I'm not hungry! Here's to another…

@NikkiJRM That's an amazing transformation, girl! Keep up the good work, it's worth it. What an inspiration you are.

Great job everyone! Some of you have logged some awesome losses! I'm moving in the right direction. At one point this week I was down to 164 (that's 11 pounds from where I started in January) but have since come back up a bit. Today I think I have a bit of a stomach bug with bloating and abdominal tenderness so it's not a…

I am down 2# this week! It's moving along much better with my food log and intake. The weather is warming up so I can be outside walking more. Gardening season is soon here so that will be more exercise! Great job, everyone! I see that many of you are shedding pounds consistently. Nikki, I've been inspired and encouraged…

Great work, everyone! Looking forward to March when the weather warms a little and I can be outside walking. It's been a loooong winter here in Nebraska with lots of snow and I miss being outside. The gym just isn't the same. And I don't have any vacations or trips planned so it will be easier to stay on plan. March on!

Hi, all! I've been out of the loop for a couple of weeks, but still on plan with keto. I had a week-long vacation on the beach with my family fully expecting to gain back most of the 7 pounds I've lost since January. We were at a beach house where we could bring in our own food and so I was able to better control what I…

Snowsaus, have you consulted a Dr. about your weight loss goal? That goal weight seems low for your height.

Just weighed in and only reached 6 pounds of my 10-pound goal loss.... but the month isn't over! After going about 2 months without losing anything, I'm finally starting to see the scale drop. I started seriously with Intermittent Fasting 20/4 and I think that's what tipped the scales (har har!). Also, I think keeping…

I was up a pound this week in spite of being vey faithful at recording. But I've been pretty lax in exercising too so maybe that had something to do with it. I'll keep plugging away, I think I'm going in the right direction!

Nikki, sorry to hear that! Hope it heals quickly. Too much exercise? ;-)

To whoever made the chart (NikkiJRM) ... I see you updated the sheet to reflect all kinds of totals. Cool! However, I just entered my weight this morning (down 3.5# this week, yippee!) and the totals at the bottom of my column don't change. Please fix! Thanks!

That sounds awesome Joanna! Thank you!

I can vouch for that too! My cholesterol numbers have always been high, but a blood test last month showed they were lower than before, and that was after about a month of keto. I'm liking it.

Haidee, this sounds serious. I'm not a medical professional, but that kind of pain is not normal and I think you should not try to fix it yourself just trying diet changes. I would recommend you either find a reputable wholistic chiropractor or an internal specialist. Your body is trying to tell you something!

So glad to know I'm not the only one that's taking forever to respond to the keto lifestyle. I need to be more diligent in logging food, I know. I'll make that a goal this week. Thank you for the encouragement, chinatown!

Weighed in Sunday. Well, half a pound is something I guess. Sure wish I could lose it faster.

Ok gang, I'm in too! I'm really discouraged right now as I've been in ketosis for about a month and have not lost one ounce of weight! I work out a few times a week, track calories and macros, intermittent fasting 18:6, I don't know what else to do but keep plugging away and maybe eventually my body will figure it out. I…

Janet, I'm in! I've been in ketosis for almost a month and I have to be honest, I'm somewhat discouraged. I see everyone else's testimonial about being on keto for two weeks and losing 10 pounds, etc. But I have yet to lose even any ounce! I'm doing intermittent fasting as well as keeping track of my macros and calories. I…
