To only be "overweight" on the BMI scale. 11 pounds to go.

I can cross my legs comfortably.

* I gave up alcohol. This was by far #1 in my weight loss success. Now I drink Crystal Light lemonade with fresh basil and lemon when I want to be social. Otherwise it's just ice water. * I do not keep "trigger" foods in the house. Peanut butter was my downfall. * I send leftovers home with family members after big family…

I'm starting again too. I've lost 23 pounds since April but after a birthday celebration yesterday, I'm recommitting. Excited to start over.

Recommitting. My Fitness Pal works. I've had the most success by tracking and measuring my food. When I choose to ignore what I'm putting in my mouth (and logging it), I gain. Why am I such a slow learner?!!

I told my husband that it's a good thing I'm retired. I spend HOURS calculating menus, meals, and macros (and logging). I love trying new recipes so researching and preparing takes a lot of time as well.

Wow - that's alot for one weekend! Good for you!

I like to make crustless cheese quiche in a 9x9 pan to eat all week. I throw in either ham or sausage with onion and red and/or green pepper. Another quickie is 2 Jimmy Dean turkey sausage patties with a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each, cooked in the microwave until the cheese is melted.

Teresa - I made your Cheddar Biscuits and everyone loved them. I particularly liked the garlic flavoring. Thanks for sharing.

I'm in! Starting Keto Weight (10/16/18) 163.4 Goal Weight: 135 11/1/18 Starting weight: 159.2 November Goal Weight: 152.0 4-Nov 157.2 4-Nov 18-Nov 25-Nov 30-Nov Feel free to friend me. Always looking for Keto support.

I would recommend watching 2 Fit Docs on YouTube. Dr. Becky is a nutritionist and Dr. Keith shows how he lost 80 pounds on the Keto diet.

Nothing is better than homemade soup on a cold day!

Thanks for sharing this. I'll have to try them soon.

That sounds wonderful!

Teresa, that sounds really good. What are your meatballs stuffed with?

Sounds good. Do you have a recipe you could share?

My husband put himself through college working at a sandwich shop that had unique sandwiches. That is where he came up with pork and olive sandwiches. You take equal amounts of chopped up pork and chopped green olives; add a tablespoon or two of mayonnaise. Serve on grilled bread (like a grilled cheese sandwich). I'm…

FYI - There is a Keto Support group for anyone who is interested.

I am consuming 100 - 500 less than MFP recommends AFTER allowing for exercise. I've been hovering around the same weight (within 4 pounds) for 4 months. I did have a 10 day vacation in the middle of that, which didn't help. I'm 5'3" - 159 pounds. I'd like to lose 20 more pounds. Thanks for your response.

I dipped my toe in the Keto pool a month ago, but got really serious a week ago after doing research and purchasing the Keto friendly foods (flours, full fat foods, MCT oil). At first it was hard to wrap my head around high fat eating since low fat had been ingrained for years. After following 2FitDocs on YouTube and…

Over the weekend I made Cheesy Ham Chowder and have been eating that for the last couple of days, along with leftover pork medallions with Monterey Jack cheese. The entire meal is under 450 calories. - 5 carbs/32g fat/29g protein. Very filling.

Thanks for your input. I just ordered some online.

My latest lunch fav is 2 ounces of deli roast beef, a squirt of horsey sauce, with a slice of Monterrey jack cheese rolled up. I eat that with a side of spinach that I saute in garlic butter. 3 carbs/25 fat/20 protein - 312 calories.

That is terrific! How long have you been on Keto?

Hi, I'm Claudia. Just wrapping up week 3 of Keto with a 4 pound loss (but have to admit I cheated a little with some wine), but still keeping my carbs around 30. I started eating healthy in June of 2017, watching calories and eating fruits & vegetables and low fat protein, staying away from bread. I lost 50 pounds doing…

I'm in week 3 of Keto so still learning. I made this "Almost No Carb Pizza" for supper the other night, having leftovers for lunch today. I make my own pizza sauce so I can control the sugar. I cut the pizza into 9 - 3"x3" squares. According to MFP, there are 4 carbs, 292 calories, 23g of fat, and 15g of protein per piece.…

A couple of my favorites: Breakfast: Turkey sausage patties with cheese melted on top I take 2 Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage patties, wrapped in a paper towel, and microwave for 45 seconds. While that is heating up, I slice 2 half ounce slices off a block of cheddar cheese. (I measure with a food scale, although I'm sure you…

Welcome back! You can do this! I started at 213 pounds in June of 2017. I'm down 54 pounds as of today.
