Conversely, nursing made me lose a ton of weight - I was underweight by the time I stopped when baby was 6 months old. And as soon as I stopped every single pound piled on again! Patience is key - I lost weight by eating whole foods, minimising carbs and exercising (running and walking). Basically calorie deficit. It took…

I have lost 11kg since the end of Nov 2016. I had a BMI of 24 to begin so it's been a slow road but I have enjoyed it! I am now 143 and will maintain at 141. Looking forward to eating 50g carbs per day and having some sweet potato!

Bunless* - not boundless! Though it was pretty big so maybe...

The only time I got a strong response was in Burger King at a train station -the lady practically shouted "NO BUN?!" Three times to the point I rolled my eyes and said, "it's a thing!!" - got my boundless burger though! Everyone at work has been great, though they have started that, "don't lose any more!" Rhetoric. Which…

SW: 167lbs CW: 143lbs GW: 137lbs I am almost there... Which in itself is daunting because I am looking at maintenance. Maintenence plan is all set out, will just be odd to increase carbs (happy to increase calories though!)... I am 5'10" and small build so am happy with where I am. I do need to check my body fat as I was…

I eliminated red wine for the first 2 months (ish) of keto but have recently reintroduced it. Mainly because I am very close to goal and confident in my ketosis and macro management. Fair warning: first time I had the worst headache in the morning. But I had a few glasses last night and woke this morning with no side…

Losing weight doesn't mean you're betraying a body-positive mind set, or the ethos that entails... your body is yours and if you want to lose weight (for whatever reason) that is your decision. I am very much into body positivity but decided to lose weight. For aesthetic reasons (I didn't like what my body looked like) but…

Definitely takes more weight loss to lose a size when you have height. I've gone down one size with 24lbs of weight loss at 5'10.5 - granted I have gone from the large end of UK 12 to the small end of UK 10 but still. 150 lbs seems sensible to me? Depending on frame and muscle. I am small boned (properly - tiny rib cage,…

She was one of the first youtube videos I watched when I started researching keto. Freaked me out! Thought I couldn't do it - she's certainly passionate but very prescriptive. Wouldn't want her advising me tbh. Now happily eating cheese and drinking caffeine daily (in moderate amounts) and feeling great.

I count the whole wing! All the wing! Wings...

I had to lose about 14 lbs - to lose 1 pants size and 2 shirt sizes. That said, I was at the larger end of the larger pants size and am very comfortably in the smaller! I am also 178cm (f) so it seems to take 'more' weight too lose a size and the size I am is probably only a size up from the smallest I would comfortably be…

I keep a few types of cheese in the fridge that I like, and always have spinach and eggs. So would probably whip up a cheesy omelette in 5 mins? Otherwise olives, canned tuna with mayo or cream cheese and some salad - if I definitely couldn't be bothered to switch the hob on. On occasion if it's very late (like past…

My first time posting in this thread! I know it's not Wednesday... H: 5'10" SW: 76kg CW: 67kg GW: no goal weight - basing it on the fit of a pair of jeans and a skirt I have. I estimate I am 2-3 weeks (1.5kg?) away and then will be going into maintenance mode. I'm increasing protein already as was starting to feel genuine…

Thank you for posting! A lot of good 'food' for thought here! I actually raised my protein levels just yesterday (and calorie levels by 100) as I've been feeling low energy the last 2 weeks (after 4 weeks of keto-induced high energy) and suspected too much protein restriction was the culprit. Already feeling better! So…

Thank you guys! I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to what is essentially my angst... I think you're right - I've lost a lot, keto works for me, and I need to calm down a bit. Sunny_Bunny_ your post in particular struck me - thank you so much. And your picture is just wow! Obviously amazing job and results,…

It varies hugely - the women in my maternity class and all my friends have had very different experiences! I gained 40lbs (ate healthily but no exercise apart from walking) and then lost 70lbs in 6 months from breastfeeding - I was a US size 2 at 5'10. But as soon as I stopped breastfeeding I gained 30lbs over about 3…
