Thanks everyone for well wishes. Awoke this morning and initial thought is that I feel so much better. Got dressed and went downstairs for the workout. I could not even do 1 minute of warm up on my mini trampoline. Being the determined person that I am, I still thought I would try to do my strength training but with…

Mary, congrats on the weight loss. That is awesome. I am finally back into ketosis. Hopefully I can get back on track from here in terms of my diet.

Wow, I just did not anticipate these awful sick days. Awoke yesterday and felt little not-so-well. Decided to do my best and workout. Week: 8 Workout: 1 Squats 70 lbs 4x6 Benchpress 53 lbs 4x6 Afterwards, finished morning routine and went to work. Once I got there, I started to feel worse and worse. Eventually felt so…

That is great Kirstie! I think it's great that we are all keeping going while listening to our bodies. Congrats on the continuously loss Mary! I look forward to seeing both of your 4 week progress reports.

You guys are awesome! Thank you guys so much for the well wishes. I really needed the push. It was one heck of week. Both kids are much better now but I started coughing last night. However, I am going to keep on going and hope it's just a cough. Mary, your weight loss is awesome! Keep it great work. Cherrybomb, love your…

Mary, I awoke this morning with the same mindset. I've messed up badly due to a chaotic sick household but today is a new day. I made the decision to continue this way of eating until May when the other challenge ends.

Now my son is sick and daughter might be regressing. Just a sick household. I hope I am not next. My diet has gone to hell. I am not happy right now. But this is the Finish_No_Matter_What group. Therefore, I got up this morning and did both Wednesday and Friday workouts. Will get back on track with eating and just not look…

Amy, congrats on your progress. Rachael, I feel on the desire to focus on fat loss. Mary, great job foregoing the valentine treats. Kirstie, that's awesome that you've stayed focus on diet in spite of other challenges. We all know that's the bigger part when it comes to fat loss.

Sorry guys but have been extremely tired caring for my 4 year old who has been sick with the flu. I am pushing today's workout to tomorrow. Stay focused!

Rachael, HUGE congrats on 15 lbs loss. I feel on you on the sick kid thing. Boy do we women manage a lot. Amy, great job on the .6 lbs loss. That's awesome. Yes, the eating has been a little shaky for us sometimes but we got this. We are going to hold on to the KEY ingredient which is CONSISTENCY! As long as we don't give…

Had lots of posts to catch up on. So congrats to those who had a loss, thanks for the recipes, and all the great tips and advise. The weekend was challenging for me as I over ate quit a bit even while staying in ketosis. It started out as nearing that TOM issue but later just turned into unnecessary eating. Oh well, a new…

Lots of updates. I read through everything so nice job to all for progressing. Hang in there to those with challenges. The weekend was challenging for me as I over ate quit a bit even while staying in ketosis. It started out as nearing TOM issue but later just turned into unnecessary eating. Oh well, a new week. So I will…

Thanks pwrfl1. Definitely needed some prospective on this.

Yesterday was another successful keto day in that I remain in ketosis. However, calories have crept up a bit but I am eating until satisfied. I really hope I am able to continue to lose eating until satisfied as appose to being slightly hungry with previous diet. I am eating the calories that would normally apply toward my…

Glad you taking good care of yourself Kirstie. Have a great time with family Mary.

Belle the PNB and celery is actually very filling. Sometimes I add a few drops of stevia in it -- taste so good! I got it freshly ground the other day so I added a melted tsp of coconut oil and mixed it in to soften. Soooooooooo good!

There are several versions but I think this person went the extra distance to to perfect it. If anyone is interested, search Keto Pizza and it's done by Chef Buck. Mary, if you do make it, you must tell us how it turned out. If I make it, I will report back as well.

Amy, you lift some serious weight! I just can't imagine squatting 130 lbs. Great job Mary! My hunger is starting to increase but I think it's because TOM is about 6 days away.

I like seeing what others are eating too. I'm really trying to keep it simple but I think I at least have to try the pizza recipe that I continue to see on YouTube. Removed the video because not sure if it's allowed. Not sure why it must post the actual video as oppose to link to the video.

I guess I have a lot of ketones in my urine. This morning it tested at the last of colors on the bottle. My daily carb count tend to be between 15 and 35 not including leafy green veggies. I don't count my veggies but eat a good bit of leafy greens. Probably won't sound enticing to anyone but I love it and I'm sharing it…

Snow actually sounds great to me since we don't get too much in Georgia. And congrats on the calf definition. If we really put it into perspective that's even better than "scale" victory. Scale is number but the sexy calf is REAL! Go girl and keep up the great work!

So true Rachael -- that's why we are Team Finish_No_Matter_What!

Mary you probably know this already but you can go into settings and rename the current breakfast/lunch/dinner to something more meaning. Like 3:00 First Meal, 8:00 final meal, etc.

Great job Mary! Thank you for starting this thread as I am enjoying learning about this type of diet.

Wow, I really appreciate all the feedback. Thanks so much trustymutsi and Mary. Mary, I can't wait to watch the videos.

Thanks Mary. Good article but I am not going to try and relay my interpretation because I will probably botch it up. LOL! But I recommend to others who are curious to at least read the FAQ which speaks to the water weight loss/gain.
