@JessIsOK all the best with Nursing, so much you can do with that. I got the recipe from ruled.me it's the best one I have tried, it's better slightly undercooked than over cooked. https://ruled.me/keto-chocolate-cake-mug/

Week # 6 - I have flatlined this week, my avg weekly weight is the same as last week and my weight is exactly the same, still at 8.6lb weight loss. It's about equal with the effort I put in this week, eating chocolate Keto mug cake almost every night, gotta change that to a once in a while treat :) and definitely didn't…

@JessIsOK I have been known to put ice in my milk, never occurred to me to try with almond milk... what are you studying?

Wah, I just lost all I entered, oh well, long story short, I now appreciate unsweetened almond milk and am trying chia seeds this week, well month, I did buy the bag at Costco :) only doing yoga once a week and walking. Tomorrow is weigh in day, not expecting much of a loss, but on the right track.

Slow weekend, had no motivation to do anything,had a headache on Saturday ,my activity was way down the entire weekend,stayed with the right food choices but really didn't take the time to weigh or log anything I ate and I am pretty sure I went over my calories said my Lindt chocolate bar....There was a bottle of Mag…

It's Friday!! I am at a total loss of 8.6lbs for week #5 , down 1 lb since last week. I still need to get back to where I was last year to start in new territory, while losing the weight is great , I will feel a lot more excited when I get to some new numbers, which will be another 5 lbs! Half way there at this rate. I…

Hi all, the scales have been keeping my mood good, I have been trying to eat between 2-8pm and it feels pretty good. Trying new veggie recipes , loved the creamed spinach from ruled.me and cauliflower mash.and seem to be addicted to ketoconnect crispy thighs....keeping busy and somewhat active, I feel like I mess up when I…

I love success stories! Just read through some on MFP, I have been with MFP for years and never used the community stuff. It never helped me on WW so I didn't bother here. But I just love it now! Feels like a really important part of the process. Into another week,number 5 , still on track and feeling strong. I decided to…

I know what you mean, it seems like everyone on Keto just said "Keto" and lost 50lbs instantly. But it seems to avg 1 - 2 lbs a week for people who have lost. It might just be a game of perception, Keto is more comforting than low fat diets but you do still give up foods that have brought comfort all your life and it is…

It's Friday , 40 day streak on MFP and my 4th week on this thread I'm at a total loss of 7.6lbs up .2 from last week. Glad I am still on track my husband caved and had pizza last night, it's hard when your support system gives out, posting threads helps me keep some focus and accountability. I know my small gain wasn't…

Today was so good!, yesterday was difficult my weight was creeping up even though I felt I was eating the right foods and moving more, and I was so hungry,so so hungry. But I ate and didn't go crazy. I also looked at things again and realized my veg intake had decreased I was getting so focused on fat and protein, and I…

I'm finding this week challenging because the scales are not equal with my efforts, trying to be positive that I'm tracking my food, eating the right kinds of foods, being active, drinking more water doing my research, it's time consuming. It's not that my weight is stalled but increasing, hoping it's just from exercise:)…

I really wish I had the will power not to weigh myself everyday, my weight always goes up ,down ,up , down, somehow at the end of the week is an overall loss .. so far. It's to early to measure ,that's never satisfying until a big loss. Clothes fit ok not tight not loose enough for a downsize , usually 12lbs or so for…

Sorry if this is a repeat I typed and posted but didn't see it appear.... anyway long story short 3 weeks today and I am at a total loss of 7.8 lbs, the dinner worked out ok I had some options and stuck to it , had to have some cake but shared the bulk with my daughter. Did my group exercise class twice this week. Tried a…

Thanks @KnitOrMiss it's almost time to go.... too bad it's not weird to take cake in the bathroom with you...

Hey all, Is it the New Moon or what? I was feeling ok other than wanting to just immerse myself in a huge 3 course meal, didn't happen of course but I sure do want to just munch and munch. I have to go to a family dinner tonight and I am not looking forward to the eating part. There are some people that are supporting and…

Long weekend over , did well considering I had no plans, made them up as I went along and had a pretty entertaining weekend, not much accomplished otherwise. Got the basics done around the house. Had to eat out once, not as exciting as it used to be, I almost find it a bit of a drag other than not having to cook and clean…

2 weeks today, down a total of 6.6 lbs moving in the right direction. It's great when weight moves fast but I know in the end slow and steady is just as great a result, when you look at other people that have lost a large amount of weight you hear how slowly it happened and you think that would be great if you yourself…

Missed posting for 2 days, did stop by for a read but ran out of time to post. Chugging along slow but sure, keeping busy with plenty to do. Made it to a group exercise class yesterday that uses cardio and weights, trying to keep activity up as I find things stall if I don't and I do like to eat throughout the day.…

Hi all, had a good weekend, kept pretty active , got in the garden for a bit, weight pretty much stayed the same, past the first week now so expecting things to slow down, I wish I could handle not weighing daily but I'm a touch impatient,excited..we have a scale that tracks weight through an app so it's nice to look back…

@kimberwolf71 Thanks for the list! It was a good first week. -5.5 lbs...The weekend Is here soon and I always find that the hardest, gotta keep busy. Still have another 5 lbs to get back to my old stopping point. @sebastiansteinmann I track everything and count calories I go by ruled.me/keto-calculator/ suggestions

Checking in today, yesterday was so busy, as frustrating as it is to not get any personal time it sure does help to not have time to eat or over think eating. You have to be prepared so you don't grab the wrong thing though, I picked up a Quest bar for lunch while running errands yesterday, it was a nice treat and didn't…

@KnitOrMiss , thanks, I guess I like hearing success stories and finding out what worked and what didn't, everyone interprets Keto differently some more strict than others. I think it's a diet you can definitely evolve in.

Good morning all, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and it's kind of cold. Anyway, tried fried avocado last night, so weird, so good. Went back on my word about dropping natural peanut butter almost after mentioning it here but I grabbed hold of myself and measured it accurately and did not lick the spoon and it…

Hi everyone, first post here, starting on Keto for the second time, first time wasn't the success I was looking for but lost a bit of weight then it turned into maintenance, then a slight run off course. I originally started with intermittent fasting which I really loved, lost about 30 lbs. When I look back at my first try…

Starting Keto , dabbled before, feel like I haven't had the full success I keep reading about. I do believe it works just have to get it all in order. Would love some support :)
