Ok, I've really been thinking about it. There are a few things I want to try. I was going to commit to tracking, as I don't and haven't really. But, I have a really big feeling that I would be miserable and it would bomb horribly. Seeing as I'm going to stick with zero carb.... I've just decided I don't want to be…

Hey! That's wonderful news! I'm so glad then that you tried it. That's how I was too. I hadn't lost in months and for whatever reason that I'm not sure of yet, the zero carb thing seems to be reliable for me over the last few weeks and I also hope it continues. Halleluja! I'm not really good at macros and stuff. I don't…

Just realized I didn't get around to posting my weight. I weigh in later than the others because I started late.... 216.5 lbs - may 4th 209.5 lbs - may 11th 206.0 lbs - may 16th 208.0 lbs - may 23rd Shark week started 3 days after the May 23rd weigh in. It is now May 28th, almost done shark week and I'm back to 206. So I'm…

Ug. I'm sorry to hear you're also affected by the shark week hunger monster! I am happy to know that it's possibly normal. I was relieved to see this morning I was back to preshark week weight. Back down 2lbs. So even though I STILL have raging cramps (now in my back), insatiable hunger signals and fatigue.... I'm hopeful…

ok so here's another check in, in case someone else has this problem and is looking at all possible solutions. It is possible it was the virus. I don't have an explanation for the tiredness. BUT I do have a concrete, unfortunate answer for the runs. it was the coffee. :( More specifically the caffeine. I have since tested…

@wheatlessgirl66 That's great! So... since I saw your post, it's been almost a week, how's it going? I'm in shark week (searching for a thread that's already here because there must be) and I didn't lose anything leading up to this week. I guess that's not suprising. This week (actually period week) I'm STARVING and…

Have you increased your cheese consumption? After being in ketosis a while, I ate way more cheese and that almost booted me out of ketosis.

I'm not surprised she referred to you a psychologist. I think it is pretty commong because the doctors are overwhelmed and not up to date on everything but still act like they know all the possible answers. So If they don't know the answer whithin their limited testing, then it must be in your head. I was referred to a…

I didn't want to tell my nutritionist and doctor about my WOE either BUT I decided to because I just KNEW I was getting healthier where EVERYTHING else had failed and they can't argue that. But more to the point, I wanted to educate them. So to plant that seed for the next person struggling. Just maybe they might look up…

I agree with everyone here and think the most important thing here is you're going to have to commit and it's gonna suck... for a while. My 'whithdrawl" was BRUTAL!! It lasted 4 days and I thought I would literally die. Seriously. AFter the 4 days... it wasn't EASY but it was easy-er. And now, 3 months in, it's easy. And I…

I'm going to "second" (or is that third now) the idea that dragonwolf and FIT-goat were mentioning about high cal days, low cal days and just stopping eating when full.... I NEVER would have dreamt this possible. Before zero carb I couldn't even imagine what that would feel like. To just.... stop eating 'cause... you're…

lol.... maybe they don't. :) I do plan to stay zero carb for a while. As FIT-goat mentioned, I don't totally think it's the zero carb per se, but I don't want to take any chances. I'm going to stay zero carb for.... the forseable future. Tentatively until I reach goal which is 155lbs. Though I'm a firm advocate of play it…

I'm behind the ball as usual on this one. I started late but more because I can never get to the scale until Monday so... But I do post my measurements and I'm happy: Measure-- HIP - WAIST - BUST - CHEST - WRIST - NECK may 4 --- 51" --- 46" --- 44" --- 40" --- 7" --- 14.5" may 15 --- 50" --- 45" --- 43" --- 40" --- 6.75"…

yep. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue at 15yrs old. One day I was a super happy kid, the next day I couldn't talk or wak. I couldn't talk for about a month and I had a head ache almost every day of my life since. The diagnosed me with depression as well. Then CF. For myself, I've noticed any time I have a psychological…

oh dear :disappointed: well, at least now you know what you're up against.

Thanks for the video! The Beast is into fitness big time and used to lift heavy. (Now he does MMA and obstacle racing) but the video will likely just help his mind be more settled with my new WOE, seeing this guy. As for MMA and boxers maybe needing the glycogen stores, I don't think so. I think they'd still do better fat…

@KnitOrMiss Re: your loaded tea HOLY CRAP LADY!! So today, I knew I needed to eat something but I just didn't want to eat. I read this thread and I thought.... well lets try her loaded tea. (I've been trying to reduce my coffee, even though i just drink decaf and only black) So that being said, I don't do dairy except…

These are so awesome. I wish there was a like button for everyone. But be sure. I'm reading every one of them and cheering you all on. This is so refreshing from other groups. It's like, we're not a "support" group, we're a cheering section for success! My NSV.... the Beast, who was seriously considering ending our…

I'm all for blaming the diet for sure, but you can also look at it this way: Diet smooths out hormones and stops the crazy insulin cycle giving you hot temper. This in turn makes you feel calm. To have sexual desire you need to be (realtively) relaxed. Pair that with (likely) the great feeling towards yourself for having…

Made me laugh out loud. Ahh... yet, I started following him :tongue:

This!! Oh so this!!! Absolutely.

A user here @DonPendergraft is doing keto and he runs 50M and I don't think he does refeeding or "carb days". Maybe he'll see this thread and comment. He's also in the facebook group, you could ask him there or message him on here. EDIT: I take that back, I think last I heard he was back up to 16M but he used to do 50M. he…

Good greif Batman! That's amazing!

Nope. You're not the only one. I like the taste too, especially with my eggs, but I don't not like it as an "air fresherner" kind of smell all over my house hours later. When I cook it, I also cook it in the over. I put a bowl of white vinegar on the stop top (not the element) and another on the other side of the kitchen…

holy crap! Where do you live and how much is bacon there? Bacon here is (good bacon) is anywhere from 6$-12$ (or more at farmers market) for a package!! Needless to say, I don't eat bacon.

I tried LCHF and was at <15g net carbs. I lost the first week then nothing for two weeks. I started the zero carb challenge on may 4th and in 14days I lost 13 lbs. I walk/jog every other day since starting zero carb. But I do it because it has taken away all of the torturous false hunger signals and cravings. For the first…

I agree with fit goat. I used to be an astoundingly regular one a day kinda gal. Now... every couple of days? Maybe every three days. Maybe it's because what we're putting in is actually being used? Less "crap"! :wink: I dunno. But if there's no pain, just less poop, I wouldn't worry.

noro-virus? It could just have been a fluke thing. They were pretty bad. Basically whenever I had to move around. So... maybe that's it. I'm fine now. Actually, better than fine.

Hmmm... I appreciate this and do understand that all the changes could very well be the culprit. I'm just a little frustrated because I was literally brimming with energy the first two week on the zero carb. WAY more than on low carb. It was really just day 12 that I was week on the run. That would have been my 6th run on…

yay! I finally got to weigh in and I lost 3.5 pounds this week! Woohoo! That's 10.5lbs on this challenge since May 4th! What a relief!
