Sad but true.

I'm with @2Poufs on the snarky reply. If you are feeling particularly snarky: Would you say ask me how I was getting so fat if I was gaining weight? No? Then what makes you think it is ok now? That shuts people up about as fast as asking them if they have ever smelled cheese. Some other snarky replies: Tapeworms! You can…

I buy close-to-date meat on sale all the time! I just throw it in the freezer as soon as I get home and then take it out when I know I will use it the same day. Great way to save money IMO. :)

I find an avocado to be the perfect breakfast food for me. The fat fills me up and keeps me going until lunchtime. If you are a type of person who needs a protein kick in the morning, what about adding an egg? Another, less expensive breakfast meat I have thought about is throwing a bit of stewing beef in a small crockpot…

LOL true story. I will still call out my little girl any time I like, even when she reaches adulthood!

No weekly weigh-in this week? Is this group dying already??

I swell up like crazy if I kick myself out of ketosis on a carb binge. Even my mom will notice that my face is super puffy and calls me out on eating crap LOL (and I'm 34 for crissake lol)

I can't do dairy either (other than the odd bit of goat cheese/yogurt). My diary is open to friends if you want to add me to have a peek and see what I eat.

My ketostix just turned the darkest purple I have ever seen them! Definitely on the right track this go around.

Hard boiled eggs, pepperoni, jerky (all things that have been mentioned so, sorry, not very helpful). Fatburger will also do a burger in a lettuce wrap - they are my fav!!

Oops that link didn't work and I don't know how to get rid of it. Search for Stephanie Keto Person on YouTube - that's what I was trying to accomplish.

Hi Christie. I stick to a keto plan if you want to add me and check out my diary. I keep my carbs very low, max of 20g net each day (net carbs = total carb grams minus fiber grams) and aim for a macros ratio of 80% fat, 15% protein and 5% carbs. My fat usually ends up landing around 75%. Note: I don't do dairy, other than…

I tried making my own mayo with EVOO once... definitely DO NOT recommend! I think I will try avocado or camellina oil next.

Those sound amazing, but the pictures are killing me! :o Could be that I sometimes have the mind of a 12 year old boy but really...

@Gerr9224 - Feel free to add me! I am a 34 yr old (35 in Nov) keto mom as well. Not a nurse, but, as Meatloaf says, two out of three ain't bad! Mmmmmmmm... meatloaf... sorry, got distracted there for a sec. :D

Awesome loss, @Tanklan

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm... bone marrow... *drools*

I'm in. Great idea!

Remember that muscle weighs more than fat! Perhaps you lost a pound of fat and gained a pound and a half of muscle. Don't give up! I am facing a bit of the same this week - been really good, going to yoga daily and somehow I've gone from 177 on Monday to 179.2 this morning. I'm telling myself that I need to drink more…

I've been doing yoga and taking walks to combat drinking in the evenings. Also, I set a mini-goal like the one for this next 2 weeks: $0 from this pay cheque is going to booze. So far so good...

Have you spoken to a doctor about this? May be a good place to start. Sorry I am not more helpful.

Your updates are amazing, thanks so much for sharing and taking the time to fiddle with the pics so we can feel like we are having a bit of an adventure with you.

@Sk8Kate - must be a Canadian thing because I knew exactly what you were talking about. :)

177 yesterday, down 3 lbs.

Yum, thanks!

So great to wake up on a Monday morning with plenty of energy! It is going to be a great week.

What is this Canadian bacon jerky you speak of??!

Here are a couple of interesting articles http://www.thenutritiondebate.com/2012/07/the-nutrition-debate-61-stefansson-and_29.html?m=1 http://inhumanexperiment.blogspot.ca/2009/09/two-brave-men-who-ate-nothing-but-meat.html?m=1

Check out Stephanie Keto Person on YouTube. She is a bit wacko but has a ton of good info that answers all of your questions and more.

Wow! Gorgeous!! Can't wait to see the difference when I get to day 90. Thanks for the inspiration.
