Good luck and welcome to keto! I started on it about 3 1/2 months ago, and I feel it’s working well for me. I hope you experience the same. I DEFINITELY notice my scale jumping up and down. For me it always has to do with water. After tracking daily for so long I can somewhat predict the change, and that helps because I…

I usually tell people ‘I’m on a special diet.’ That usually stops the food pushing. I’m sure they assume it’s medically mandated, and that’s okay with me. I’ve tried just saying ‘I’m on a diet’ before, and that doesn’t always stop them.

Don’t give up! A 1lb loss is still a loss, and that’s something to celebrate. Possible factors of not losing more: -The closer you are to your goal weight, the slower weight comes off. - The amount you’re eating. I know keto doesn’t focus on counting calories, but for me personally I had to keep track. My problem was both…

Same as Jaynee7283 - I eat back about 20-30%.

I take Fucothin. I started taking it at the same time I started exercising and restricting calories. I think it's helping a little because I've been dropping 1.5-2lbs/week, but I can't be 100% sure it's not just my diet and exercise.

I agree with cmjohnson53. It's probably water weight. Sometimes when I 'cheat' and consume a lot of carbs, alcohol, or salty processed foods I'll gain a 1-3 lbs overnight. It usually goes away in a couple days.

Hi! I'm relatively new here, too. Had 110 lbs to lose originally, and now have 81 left to drop. I started my plan (again) mid January of this year. Feel free to add me. I haven't really begun to add friends yet, and I'm just now starting to look into these community forums. I like the idea of support!

Weekends are SUCH challenge for me, too! :/ ^^ But this is spot on. You've got to keep going. And try to do better next weekend. It usually helps me if I plan out my consumption before I go out or splurge. I'm much more likely to not go too crazy that way. And like kkibbles said, try to pre plan the next day and have those…

Yes, ignore them. It's not easy. But it's still the easiest option. I have gotten all kinds of opinions and advice. Most people are well meaning, but that doesn't make them right. I used to argue. And then I started trying to persuade. But either way I'd just end up frustrated. Now I just thank people for their advice. As…

I agree that the beginning is hard and everything takes some time to get used to! My calorie goal is 1200, too. I eat back about half of my exercise calories. My diet consists of a lot of veggies. I also love egg whites, low fat cheese, chicken breast, and fruit.
