@EstrangedTiger I also train fasted and 100% agree with you!

Happy belated birthday, Brenda! I am so sorry I missed it. Looks like transitioning from LC is working well for you, which makes me so happy!

What an interesting plan! I can't wait to see where you end up in the 9 days!

Amazing loss! Maybe it was that "big dump!" :D

Ditto!!!

Just catching up! How is the new building? Also, I agree that 0.2 sucks, but a loss is a loss. At least, that's what I told myself when it took me 2 weeks to lose that! Our bodies are so interesting. I am standing by for food porn!

How's it going, Sarah???

Definitely less puffy! Awesome work!

June 2018 Me: 24 B: DBF: 215 Urge-free days: 0 Yesterday was a rough one, so I am resetting my 30-day counter to begin today.

Hey, OMAD peeps! Sorry I have been away — last week’s shifts were 12-15 hours everyday (including the weekend!), so I am just now settling down and into a routine today. Weight update: The doctor’s office-type scale in the gym had me clocking in between 147 and 148 last Monday, which was super surprising. Today, I clocked…

@EstrangedTiger I think Steph may have thought I made your comment, hence her response! :D

@tlblanks1 thank you! It is the mousse topped with some sugar free jam. I blended together 2 oz melted cocoa butter wafers, 2 tb melted butter, a splash of vanilla, a cup of heavy whipping cream, and a few drops of liquid stevia. I whisked together the butters and vanilla first while I blended the HWC and stevia in the…

Who doesn't love a little crazy?!?! :D And you are 100% right - Cajun and Creole are the definite exceptions! They find a way to make their gulf seafood sing!

You've got this, girl!

Ditto to Brenda's comment!

You are officially my new best friend! No one ever wants to admit that the seafood down here is bland -- I felt the same way about the gulf seafood when I was living in Houston.

6/14 Days until maintenance: 87 Weight: 140.8 I lost a whole 0.2 pounds in 2 weeks... :/ I'm actually not that upset, though... I have been eating out quite a bit, and with the addition of strength training, I knew I was bound to maintain/gain. I doubt I will weigh again before leaving for LA with everything going on, but…

I forgot to come in with my last rest day! 6/12 Days until maintenance: 89 Weight: Unknown Rest day = OMAD

((great weigh-in)) <3

@mistymeadows2005 Thanks, Steph! I honestly feel like I am happiest on keto when I take the time to be creative because almost everything I could ever want can be keto-fied thanks to the internet! I realized this last time, and I still didn't do anything about it and fell off. This time, I am determined to be creative from…

Loving that check-in, and your pics, as always, look SO appetizing!!!! I do love some pickles omg... especially the spicy and garlic ones!

Awesome progress!!! The pants and face progress is the best, isn't it???

Yum!!!! Are those Thin Mints??? Those Brussels sprouts look soooo good. I never get tired of them!

That splurge day sounded AMAZING!!!!! I'm from MD, so I put Old Bay on nearly everything! It tastes great on almost everything IMO, but I'm biased B)

Thanks so much, everyone! It was a little rough, but I am very happy I made it through. It was completely worth it to not gain a bunch of water weight, bloat, and have to restart on LC. I am hoping I will get into ketosis by the time I leave for LA on Sunday. I don't have the sticks, but I know the signs my body usually…

I am also finding it hard to fast on lifting days, so I am sticking to OMAD on rest days! Happy you're back :)

@hillmike56 thank you so much for sharing that! I am hoping to get to normal by the end of August (~10 pounds to go), and I would love to also celebrate being close to 300 days. This check-in was the only reason I didn't succumb last month, so I am definitely sticking around! @wellnesschaser that's great progress! June…

@hillmike56 I assumed that as well, and it was second nature for a while, but I had to fight 2 or 3 times last month. I haven’t had the urge so far this month, so if I can make it through June without a fight, I will consider myself in recovery. June 2018 Me: 10 B: DBF: 201

Congratulations!
