Nice drop! I hear you about portion control. I know that I eat some things just because they are on my plate. It is a hard habit to break. Maybe I should buy smaller plates?

I love sugar free jello and pudding (made with almond milk). I put chia in my pudding to help thicken it without milk. I don't go for jelly beans, but I love Lily's chocolate in times of need. Watching a Jason Fung video last night has me thinking about sugar and carbs again. I really need to cut back for myself and my…

I've got a few sticks of butter around my tummy.

I stepped on the scale this morning and I am 181.5! I knew there was a bit more ready to whoosh.

Today's weight is 183. I should clarify that my scale only measures to the half pound, so you will only see half pound increments in my updates. My weight loss on fasting is not dramatic, but it does match CICO in a way that it never has before. On top of that, I'm less exhausted from exercise, calorie counting throughout…

Today was a good day. My husband and I discovered a new Jewish deli in the neighborhood and decided to split a pastrami sandwich and corned beef hash. It was heavenly. I tried to guesstimate calories from the database and it appears to fall in my calorie range. I walked a lot. I must admit that I'm hungry now and…

Yesterday and today were technically fine, but I made poor food/logistical choices today due to mid-day travel. I wound up eating low-nutrient, high carbohydrate food without enough water. However, it was under 1300 calories and within my eating window. Tomorrow should be a more normal day without travel or distractions.…

No stats to report today. Just thoughts. How much time we waste on food! And “artificial” exercise. Yesterday was a longer eating window, no-counting day. My cancelled dinner/play date from Monday came over and it kind of threw off my eating window. I thought of Joe’s video “Don’t Break the Spell.” Lets see if I can still…

Congratulations on dipping into the 160s! Very inspirational.

May your whoosh come true!

Great. If it helps the blood sugar, it might be perfect at the end of a meal. I hear it also helps with heartburn.

I ate only half of the natto beans shown, but with peanut butter. Salmon, brussel sprouts, chickpeas, cashews, peanut noodles. My friend cancelled, so it was all for naught. However, I had my first 27 hour fast.

I've continued my fast for 26 hours. I feel pretty good, but I don't want to be out of sorts when company comes, so I think I will break the fast in an hour. I don't want to start making big exceptions or having cheat days so early in the game. This seems like an acceptable compromise. I'm looking forward to dinner!

Thank you for the welcome! Today I face my first logistical challenge. A friend is coming at 5:30 with sashimi salad for both of us. My eating window is usually in the range of 1-2/3. I'm wondering if I should make it a 2mad, fast until 5:30, or find a way to politely decline dinner while still offering wine, etc. that I…

Weight Goal for the Month: It would be nice to hit 180. I’m new to this pace of loss, so this is a wild guess of what is possible. When doing CICO a few years ago I would barely lose 4 lbs a month on a good month. Today’s Weight: 184 Today’s Exercise completed (calories burned if desired): Walked about 3 or 4 miles Hours…

My name is Amy. I’m 44, 5’7 and currently 184lbs. I gained a good deal of weight when I was pregnant (at 39) and struggled with CICO to lose 30lbs, followed by a quick 15lbs with keto. I kept up with keto for about a year and then life got in the way. Over the holidays I regained a lot of weight because my voracious…

Do you use a blend with THC? I think the THC helps me sleep at night. I feel less anxious.

I'm 44 with a four year old. I gained a lot of weight when she was born and found it extremely difficult to get it off. I lost about 40 lbs 2 years ago, but gain 20 back in the last year. I've been low-carb since February and have only lost a couple of pounds.

Weird month. I don't believe in carb cycling, but as soon as I had my flu cheat days the scale budged. 4/1: 181 4/8: 181 4/15: 181 4/22: 180 4/28: 178 3 lbs. meh. I will take it. At least I'm not gaining.

I've been back on keto for almost two months now. The past two weeks have been hectic with the in-laws visiting, my daughter being evaluated through the public schools, some work stress and frustration over not losing. My TOM is almost past and I was counting on a whoosh, but alas I am up .5 this morning AND I have fever.…

I've been letting the scale rule my mood. It didn't move for ten days or so, but is now down 2.5 lbs. I hope it keeps moving! I have another 20 or so to go.

Welcome back! I am also returning. I was keto until about eight months ago. I had a roller-coaster year and gained most of my 20lbs back in the past four months. I'm happy to be back, but have stalled in my loss.

The scale is not budging. I added in a short elliptical session yesterday. Not sure what else to do. I wonder if I'm eating something with hidden carbs. 5'7" Sunday 04/01: 181 Sunday 04/08: 181 Sunday 04/15 Sunday 04/22 Sunday 04/29

I returned to keto about a month ago. I only started tracking my weight around the 20th of March. However, it seems that I am losing VERY slowly if at all. I have been bouncing between 181 and 182 since that time with the exception of my time of month, which was about 3 pounds higher. I know the whole cico and tracking…

Canadajineh, we are not sure what the root of the issue is, but we are having her evaluated (a slow process). She is a sweet, social creature that just turns into a storm frequently. I've heard of gluten leading to such issues, but she is such a selective eater that I haven't found a way to eliminate it without her…

I'm getting back to keto after an 8-month lapse. This time I'm bringing my husband with me. 5'7" Sunday 04/01: 181 Sunday 04/08 Sunday 04/15 Sunday 04/22 Sunday 04/29

I'm back to keto after about 8 months of hiatus. I gained 20lbs during that time. My daughter has been having daily 1.5 - 2 hour tantrums this week and the stress normally drives me to food, but this week I have been choosing healthier. At the moment I am eating a can of tuna with mayo and pickles as my child rages around…
