I hear you on the time it takes to track. When I got serious last year I started cooking all my own meals because I wanted to know exactly what I was eating (and it took a lot of time to enter the recipes!), but I found some favorites and kept making those! Then it became SUPER easy to track because I could copy entire…

This entire thread has been helpful for me. I was on track for SO long and now am off track more and more often and am losing ground (gained 10 lbs since May). I'm working on getting my mind back in the right place of "commitment and dedication"! Question for all of you...what groups are you in that you find the most…

March Start weight 217.6 March 3 Weigh in 216.2 (-1.4) March 10 Weigh in 215.8 (-.4) STGW 209.6 LTGW 165 Total Loss 20.2 Tough cycle this month. Was up six days in a row! How depressing is that!? Just glad to see ANY loss this week!

I forgot to check back on Friday too! March Start weight 217.6 March 3 Weigh in 216.2 (-1.4) STGW 209.6 LTGW 165 Total Loss 19.8 I'm on my monthly cycle right now so I'm up a bit. Hoping to get all that off and have a loss by Friday!

March Goals: CW 217.6 STGW 209.6 LTGW 165 Total Loss 18.4 I will be following a Keto diet, doing intermittent fasting (typically only eating in an 8 hour window every day) and I've cut out all sweeteners. Just started the IF and no sweeteners and I'm seeing pretty consistent losses. I need to lose at least 8 pounds this…

Thanks for starting this! Happy to have the accountability!

How are you all doing!? I've managed to log Tuesday through today this week. Feeling more on track!

Still struggling with the tracking but doing a little better with it. Now we're facing the weekend and it's a three day weekend for me. The hardest!!!

We need to get some of our members from your other group! Wonder how many are still on MFP???

Yes and yes. I'm doing a terrible job logging these days. Realized I didn't do it yesterday at all AND that I can barely remember what I ate. And, I'm all for a weekly weigh in...tracking any way we want to set it up. Thanks!

Ok...new goal for me...actually tracking my stinkin' food and drink! Seriously, how hard can this be???

Totally agree about the mini goals. My goal is to lose 5 lbs a month this year so I'm truly tracking towards a 1.2-1.4 lb loss a week. Another goal is to get some kind of exercise in 4 days a week. I know I see a more consistent loss if I'm moving my booty!

Oh! And my name is Sharla.

My goal is to lose 60lbs this year. That's only 1.2ish a week average so it should be possible! I lost 15 lbs last fall in 16 weeks and then gained some back over the holidays...still working on getting the last 3 of those pounds off. Geez...I seriously had whiplash from how fast 8 lbs went ON TO my body! Wha!?!? Thanks…

I'm in a major stall! I'm sticking with the plan but not seeing any loss this week. In fact, I'm up a bit. Sigh...hate fluctuations.

Hi all. I thought I posted here this morning but guess not. I'm down 1.2 for the week, but had perfect timing and started my shark week last night. Oh well. I hope the typical up tick and/or stall doesn't stick with me for too many days. Feeling incredibly snacky today and just keeping to on plan items.

Wow! Just got caught up on the posts! Lots in the last 24 hours! Missed checking in yesterday, but I'm still here and on plan. This week is beating it out of me. And, my shark week is supposed to start today or tomorrow so that's not helping either I'm sure. READY for the weekend. Another full day meeting today, but they…

Yesterday's food was protein shake, egg/chicken salad and chicken/cheese with a mashed avocado. No snacks. Well, I did have some sunflower seeds right after dinner, but was within an hour or so of eating. 133P; 22C/9net; 77F Didn't get any exercise in. Felt exhausted and had a headache when I got home and crawled into bed…

Bagels/cream cheese/fruit salad Sandwiches/chips/cookies They did have a few breakfast sandwiches with scrambled eggs and ham...could have pulled that apart. But, was so glad that I had my protein shake for breakfast and egg/chicken salad for lunch!

Did great yesterday. Macros were on point. Feel good this morning. Headed to a full day mtg today where they are serving breakfast and lunch. Ugh. Have two of these this week. I called ahead and discovered they are serving what??? Carbs, that's right, basically pure carbs. So! Having a protein shake on the drive in and…

I'm drinking their Golden Peach right now...my current favorite.

I think it's a great idea. Any day is fine with me because I'm a daily weigher, but Saturday sounds good. Thanks!

Went way over on everything yesterday which pushed my calories pretty high. I also had alcohol...3 vodka/diet 7s...sure I'm out of ketosis this morning because of it. Not drinking on the weekends is a struggle for me! I did get 50 minutes in on the treadmill so that's good! 114 P, 21 C (17 net), 114 F

This thread is amazing!

I count my macros. I look at the calories, but I'm not that concerned about them.

Would love to join in. I have a 25lb goal by the end of the year. I started Keto on August 1 and am down 11lbs but am stalling out now. I know I need to get exercise back in so I've been working on getting my home workout space set back up. Goals: 103 P (at least) 20 C (or under) 77-103 F (keeping it at the lower end and…

Thanks for the replies everyone. There seem to be so many versions of LCHF and Keto. I didn't realize that when I started. Was just curious if others were following the OKL chart too. I have actually done really well on it but am starting to stall now. But, I think that also is a result of not tracking (or weighing and…

You might think about reading Cholesterol Clarity by Jimmy Moore and Dr. Eric Westman. I haven't read it yet, but just finished their Keto Clarity book and found it very helpful. The cholesterol book focuses on the latest research around cholesterol and how, in their opinion, many doctors are giving the wrong advice…

I follow the OKL chart so my max is 26g, but, I tend to keep them under 20g. I have 70 lbs to lose and have lost 11 lbs since August 1.

SW = 236.0 (started July 30) Lost in August = 9.4 CW = 225.0 (total loss 11.0!) Goal is to lose 7 pounds in September and to start exercising. I had an injury in August that seems to be healed now. I want to get at least 30 minutes in 5 days a week. Keeping carbs to <20 a day.
