@monikker didn't see my notification until now! 2.5 weeks in and still going strong. I find myself going without food for 6-8 hours between lunch and dinner without even thinking about it. Feeling good. No hunger. No counting or weighing still. Halfway through December and I've already crushed my weight goal for the month.

I'm on day 11 of a 30 day "challenge" to give zero carb a try and I love it. I'm down over 6 pounds so far, my appetite is under control, I haven't had to count or weigh anything. I like it. If you're not already in it, Zeroing in on Health is a great group on Facebook with many ZC veterans who've done this for years.

If you're interested, check out the low carb and keto groups on here. They will be a lot more supportive. :)

It's not as bad anymore! Thank goodness! I couldn't even leave the house some hot days because I just couldn't win that battle.

I have survived an entire week of keto eating...mostly. Yesterday I had a 6" sub that put my carbs at 80, but I water fasted this morning until noon and went for a 45 minute power walk...between that and feeling fine, my weight didn't fluctuate up at all (even though I not only ate more carbs but like 3000 calories) so I…

Im gonna add you all, as well!

@KnitOrMiss and I were just talking about this the other day!

I have been successfully sticking with keto for 5 days. Thats a stretch for me, because I usually wimp out before I hit ketosis. I'm glad I didn't this time, and I seemed to reach ketosis quite easily (minus a bad night of leg cramps from not drinking enough water!). I feel great and haven't craved too much junk.

Hey there! I'm starting AGAIN too! Lol. Like you, I'm a perfectionist and it seems to be all or nothing with me... Adding you! My diary is locked with a key, but PM me and I can give it to you....let's just say I was vegetarian/vegan for a while, made friends while doing that, and now I eat all the meats so its a little…

@KnitOrMiss I just bookmarked it! I can't wait to try it! Maybe in a couple weeks once I'm in ketosis...sigh...lol.

COOKIE DOUGH...but I'm too new to this to even attempt a keto version...might be dangerous

I think that I'll keep on losing while eating 2000 calories a day WITHOUT eating IHOP, stuffed crust pizza, etc. Maybe you didn't gain an butt ton of weight because you ate MORE but actually because you ate more AND it was crap (AKA more carbage), like previous posters said. But I don't think that condoning 500-600…

Pick what works best for you. I believe protein should be about the same regardless of what you do, but that carbs and fat can be changed around the most. If you want more carbs, lower the fat...and vice versa.

Been vegan without any cheating for 2 days, and now that I've committed I can't see ever going back!

I'm a blabber! All are welcome to join me!

I love all the answers! Thanks everyone!

I have exactly 100 pounds to lose! Anyone can add me!

The more friends I have to bug and talk to, the more successful I'll be! All welcome!
