1-2 pounds a week is normal. You are averaging 4 pounds a week. That is not sustainable. It was a "whoosh" of water weight to begin with. From there, it will probably not be linear. Some weeks you will lose nothing. Some weeks you will lose 3 pounds. Some weeks you will gain a pound. Some weeks you might lose 5. If you…

Thanks for the info. I am newer to the "keto" terminology. I've been aware of Low Carb for about the last 8 years and have done a lot of reading about it. I even have the original 1972 Atkins book which actually is much different than the new ones. I think it is closer aligned to what Keto is, but that term isn't really…

Hi! Feel free to add me as a friend. I'm not quite Keto as I have a bit more protein (60/30/10 ratio instead of 75/20/5), but am still very much Low Carb.

Thanks @macchiatto !

It's an awesome problem to have. :smile:

You have an invite @River_Goddess

Yep, it is a great lifestyle.

Greens, Whites, and most herbals I drink just straight. Light Blacks some berry herbals I put a bit of cream in. Heavy Blacks, Rooibos, and some Pu-Erhs I I use a lot more cream. I sometimes make "Heavy Tea" as it's a whole meal. Heavy Black tea, heavy whipping cream, coconut oil, and a bit of unsweetened cocoa. Keeps me…

Roasts are great! Whole chicken that were smoked or slow cooked. Peas, Collard Greens, and Squash have good protein for veggies.

Slow cooked whole chicken on the grill.

Had some Apple Cinnamon Black tea just last Friday. It is perfect for the cooler weather starting here.

There are hazelnut black teas out there that might work. https://www.stashtea.com/products/chocolate-hazelnut-black-tea http://www.svtea.com/Hazelnut-Black-Tea/productinfo/T0169/ https://www.amazon.com/Tea-Forte-HAZELNUT-TRUFFLE-Loose/dp/B006TZFOVU http://www.spiceandtea.com/hazelnut-cookie-tea.html Also, yerba mate is…

I'm Low Carb and have been for a few years. Going through a bit of a funk right now, but trying to get back to being consistent. Anyone here can feel free to add me!

Feel free to add me if you would like. I try to post every day.

Thank you @kpk54 . I really appreciate that! It's easy to get derailed and frustrated when going through a rough patch, but sometimes we need to stop and look at how far we have come.

I love having active friends who support and encourage each other. Feel free to add me. I'll do my best to post positive updates and encourage and support you.

Been following Keto for about 2 years. Currently 45 pounds down. I'm going through a rough patch where I'm finding it hard to stay on plan. Always looking for more active keto friends who want to actually support each other rather than just posting their streaks and weights. Feel free to add me.

Welcome back! I've been there many times myself. Including multiple times of gaining all my weight back. I hope never to go back there again and that's why I'm still here. Been almost 2 years here at MFP and although there has been struggles, I don't ever want to totally go off-plan and gain all the weight back.

Feel free to add me as a friend. I've been doing keto pretty solid for the last couple years. I do have my struggles, but I'm open about it as maybe someone else can learn from what I've done wrong.

I've been Keto for quite a while. I have struggles and setbacks like everyone else, but have been going strong for almost 2 years. Feel free to add me as a friend.

I'm currently doing Keto as well. Down about 45 pounds right now. Feel free to add me as a friend.

I'm currently doing Keto as well. Down about 45 pounds right now. Feel free to add me as a friend, but just know I do like to interact with my friends. I usually trim inactive ones every few months. Interaction and support are vital for me to keep going along with my journey.

I love cheese! I have to only buy a bit at a time or I will eat way to much of it and will blow my calories out of the water. I prefer harder cheeses and enjoy some blues as well.

Awesome post Bouddie. That could be my post so many times. It hasn't until this past attempt that a lot of what you said has sunk in. The first 6-7 times I lost weight, I would eventually sabotage myself and fall back into "normal" eating and gain all the weight back. This time, it has finally sunk in. And that's not to…

Amazing transformation @Phrick ! You have done wonderful!

Feel free to add me as a friend if you like. I've been Keto/LCHF for over a year and find it easy to sustain eating this way for life.

I'm happy to have more Keto/LCHF friends. I've been at this for just over a year and just passed 60 pounds down this week. Happy to add any more friends and offer any encouragement that I can.

Awesome pics @Panda_Poptarts ! You have made such a huge change! Your waist has really shrunk and your hourglass figure is really showing through. You are a true inspiration. Great job @Abkuroneko . You have done amazing. Fantastic transformation!
