I enjoyed the May group! Doing Keto and Intermittent Fasting. Keeping under 25 total carbs a day. CW: 215 End of June Goal Weight: 205

Count me in! My birthday is in December and it will be amazing to feel driven and strong again as a gift to myself!

2 more days till the end of our 30 day challenge?

Total: 16 Net: 11 I have stalled since going on and off the medications doctor had me take. :(

I agree with you! This is a way of life! Taking ketones and eating carbs is giving your body fuel so it has no need to break down fat!

16 total carbs 11 net carbs Oh my word there is a lot going on. I added the story to my food notes everyday. It helps. Anyone else journal? Where?

I have heard they can keep the body guessing and have read it can be helpful to go low one day and high another to get out of a stall.

. Are you diabetic?

I am super depressed since started thyroid and diabetes meds a few days ago. I was doing so great on keto, fibro pain was lower... these meds are kicking my butt. Caved and had a sugar free pudding tonight and ended up with 29 total carbs for the day. :(

So I only tend to drink a few times a year but my Doctor says my good cholesterol is low, and my bad is in normal range. I need to up my good cholesterol and WINE can do that (and is only about 4 carbs. Sooo...... I think I might try adding a bit of wine to my life! I keep reading about keto friendly alcohol and it doesn't…

Considering the "healthy" amount to lose is 2 pounds a week that sounds good and that weight could well be gone for good. I went to see your food diary to see if I could spot what it might be but you don't have it shared. What ever you are doing is working!

And you win the internet today for me! LOL

Oh My Goodness I did the same thing on the 23rd. I got the Arctic Zero because of the carb count, tried the Chocolate Peanut Butter. It was soooo bad. I ate half a serving (1/4 cup) in hopes it would "get better" but it never did. It was sooooo bad!

May 24th Total Carbs: 19 Net: 11 I got brave today and started an instagram for this keto adventure. Follow me? @momfindinghealthy

I can't do 120 something ounces of water a day. I barely make like 70oz!

FUNNY - So I have lost about 15 lbs in the last 24 days. I was shopping today and my undies and pants kept scootching down. Then somehow, my undies were below my butt. No way I was going to reach in and fix them..... so..... maybe I lost some inches on my hips or butt? Perhaps I can find some old pants that will fit again!

Weight might just be water retention from inflammation? See what it does in a few days?

May 20 - 18 total carbs 11 net May 21 - 18 total carbs 11 net LOL I didn't eat the same things even and calories where different. Made me giggle though!

I love this porkchop with porkrinds on it. Thrilled though with calliflower mash and canned gravy. Only 3 total carbs in the gravy. Why have I not tried this before? On Only thing it is missing is green beans! Ran out :( will get a lot tomorrow though!

This yummy dinner made me do happy. Share your meals! (Advocating in the wraps too thanks to ideas here!)

Even with all the stress you are doing great! I hate moving! 14 moves in 19 years! (Military family)

May17: 25 total May18: 33 total ..... not good but still in keto!

Finally got to the doctor, got a new glucose monitor, and my fasting number was 95 today! YAY! Normally it is around 110 (Under 100 and closer to 90 is normal!) New doctor is not happy I am doing Keto and Intermitent Fasting 18:6 but I have FINALLY found something that works for me and she had no clue about the science as…

Broth is the perfect thing to be drinking right now. While all the carb options might sound appetizing right now and I am sure you are sick of puking, it is OK to fast right now, even for a few days even! Just stay hydrated! Fasting really might be the best thing right now:…

May 15th TC = 36 Net = 30 Cal = 1163 May 16th TC = 25 Net = 17 Cal = 1209 I don't even want to talk about it or make excuses :(

Total carbs: 36 Net: 30 Cal:1136 I think this is the worst I have done in 16 days! Got stressed I've daughter having surgery tomorrow. It should go ok. Still... I grabbed a protein bar and I didn't even pay attention to the packaging or I would have seen it had 25 carbs - sigh. Tomorrow will be better!

Question: Do you think watching Cupcake wars is going to damage my calm? LOL I love that show and haven't watched really any food shows since starting keto/IF 2 weeks ago. Would you brave it?

QUESTION: For the first time in 15 days I gained weight! I don't want to record this! Is it wrong of me to just keep going and record my weight when next there is a drop? I was very active this weekend and didn't eat bad AT ALL, seriously, check my diary. :(

Day 5: Total Carbs: 28 (ohps) Net: 21 Cals: 912 Protein 106 I found myself "needing" chocolate and went with a Power Crunchy Chocolate Mint Protein bar and it hit the spot but for 10 total carbs.... will not be doing that again soon! Dealing with so much stress with being a military family and mothers day stuff and…
