Congratulations Sophie! Like you, I've lost a lot of weight (50 pounds) and I am now 11 lbs from my goal weight. Unlike you, I donated many of my jeans in September 2014 thinking that I would never fit into them again. The two pairs that I kept are now falling down. Guess I should have kept those other jeans! Again…

This is a relief, Isaiah! Thanks for the practical advice! I definitely don't want to undo any of my progress.

I'm glad I'm not the only one hahaha. Is this your first big event since starting Keto?

Oops I didn't even think about the whole dairy thing. Consider supplementing with raw, unsweetened almond milk. The calories are pretty equivalent to 1 tbsp of heavy (fluid) cream per 8oz serving of almond milk, but almond milk is not carb free. The Whole Foods 365 brand of organic, unsweetened almond milk has 1g net carb…

I realized in the Spring that I wouldn't be able to pass my annual physical training test with the military. This was a huge wake up call for me, and I've been scrutinizing my food and fitness ever since. I was able to pass by the way -- but barely. When it rolls around again in May, I will be prepared to pass it with…

I had a pretty moderate case of lightheadedness my first week or so, especially first thing in the morning, between mealtimes, and standing up. What helped me was warming chicken broth, and adding a heaping amount of cream to this as well as adding enough kosher salt to be slightly salty. Within several minutes after…

Hi Lady T, I've only been doing this for five weeks now, so I am by no means an expert. Those first few days, I did not count my calories. I pretty much ate when I was hungry or lightheaded, which was roughly 5-7 times a day. By about day 4, I felt better, which is when I began calorie counting (I aim for 1500-1700…

Dear FEMA, I feel your pain and frustration, lady. I started the Fed Up Challenge in May 2015. The weight that was supposed to fly off my waist barely budged, and just as the weight loss pace was picking up, it stalled for 3-4 weeks. I then began keto about five weeks ago. Each day, I aim for 125g fat, 75g protein, and…

Wow! This is impressive :) Makes me look forward to my 2-month anniversary. Thank you for the motivation :)

I don't know of any groups; I'm kind of in the same boat as you! I've been doing keto and intermittent fasting for nearly five weeks now without any setbacks. I was nervous at first, but I am so glad that I did it! The weight has not flown off my body, but I have seen steady and consistent weight loss, and now that's it's…

I've been doing LCHF for 4 weeks and I started intermittent fasting 3 weeks ago. It was pretty rough at first, but my energy is definitely on the upswing. And I have lost 8 pounds so far, and not from loss of water weight either! It's very exciting :)
