I really need this challenge this month. I started keto in April 2015 and lost 50lbs in a year. I kept it off for awhile but has some stress over the winter and slipped a little. But over the past few months my cravings got the best of me and I ballooned up a total of 25 lbs over my lowest weight last November. So it's…

Love love love this. I started low carb about 2 years ago and had to customize it to fit my body makeup. Not everything works the same for everybody. The past 6 months have been rough for me and I put on over 20lbs. I'm trying to get that determination back to lose it and get healthy again. I needed the refresher. Thanks.

Ending week results. Weight 162 Under 1700 calories 4 days this week ( need to improve) Exercise 3 times this week.

My starting weight is 163.5. Goal weight is 160. I also want to get better at staying at or under goal calories of 1700. I want to exercise more. Going for 3 times a week for at least a half an hour.

I am always on pintrest looking for low carb recipes. I haven't tried too make many bread recipes . I find most have ingredients I'm not going to stock. The mission tortillas are the only thing I've tried on the regular basis, but I still try to limit to 1 or 2 a week at most .

Something I noticed is that this app counts Splenda as sugar. I received a notice that I was going over my limit which made me realize it .

Way to go!

You look awesome. Way to go.

Spaghetti squash is my new favorite. I haven't had it til this year.

I would let people know if it has artificial sweeteners. Someone there might be sensitive to it.

I know when I eat a lot of sugar I would get yeast infections. So sounds plausible. And I didn't know about the dry eye problem. I have been having that issue. My mother in law told me to take a spoonful of flax seed oil a day. I still have yet to check into that.

That is just awesome. So inspiring. Congratulations.

Thank you everyone for your support. This group helped me so much.

When I first started this WOE this group was my biggest support. Everyone is awesome and full of support.

I went to a restaurant that had a buffet. So it was easy for me to stick to meat and veggies. But I did got to a families house for desert and I did indulge a bit in pecan pie. I only ate the pecans but they were covered in sugar. Lol. I didn't feel too bad though.

I also would like to add that the rate of weight loss depends on a lot of things. If you have more than 100 lbs to lose you will lose it more quickly in the beg than someone who has to lose 50.

I think I started around April or so. So about 6 months. Down 40 lbs.

You have to do what's best for you. Don't stress over it

Thanks everyone. 40 lbs down. Still would like to lose another 30 lbs. Staying the journey.

I still have about another 40 or so lbs to go before I am at my goal weight. My plan was the same as yours. I wanted to get skinny so I didn't have to worry anymore. But I now realized that is not gonna work. So my plan is to continue to eat low carb but prob higher carbs than I am eating now. So right now I eat aprox 30…

Thanks for sharing. That is awesome advise that I am sure we all need from time to time. I know I do. I am like you and when I don't see any loss for a couple weeks I start to second guess everything.

Good luck. I will send you a friend request. Been doing this about 100 days or something now. I think I've lost about 20 pounds. My diary is open so you can see what I eat. I am in the U.S. though.

My advice is to tweek this woe to fit your lifestyle. Everyone's body is different and react differently to different foods. I love veggies so I eat them. I don't care about the carbs from them. I do stay away from fruit but I was never a big fruit eater. I also don't check my ketones. Honestly if I am losing weight, what…

A new NSV for me. I fit into my size 16 jeans I haven't worn in about a year and a half. I couldn't believe it. I can't shake this grin off my face.

Haha. I've been lying on my drivers lic for years. I have another 45 lbs to get to that weight. Not impossible though. Yay for you.

Originally from Southern NJ across from Philly area but now living in central Delaware. Had some heavy rains and storms today and the heat is finally breaking here too. Can't wait for fall but just don't want winter to come.

Congratulations!! I bet you feel lighter in mind now after that epiphany.

I agree. I have only been on LFHF for 3 months. But the past 2 weeks all of a sudden I am not as hungry as I used to be. Months 2 & 3 I was closely monitoring my calories to make sure I didn't go over. Now all of a sudden at the end of the day I am 500+ calories under by goal and I never realized it because I wasn't hungry…

Thank you and I do apologize as I know I have complained about other groups on and off MFP. I now understand better of the reason why that is bad.

Good luck
