  • Technically one day late to weighing in, but I’ve been weighing myself every day and recording it. I’m down a net 4 pounds overall from the start of April! I tried extended fasting one day last week and I actually enjoyed it- might try again possibly once a week! SW: 174 (10/17); 164 (4/19) GW: 145 04/08 - 161.8 04/14 -…
  • Thank you! :D :D :D
  • Hi all! I am a DOCTOR now!!! I successfully defended my PhD a little over two weeks ago! And I am moving states and starting my new big-kid job in three weeks!!! So it's been a little higher stress than normal, and I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and the stress/excitement from the last couple of months is…
  • Hi everyone! I know I’m late, but for those of you who are friends on MFP- maybe you noticed I’ve logged in daily for over a week..... time for a reset! So I was doing keto in January, but I lost about 7 lbs in two weeks, and then all of a sudden it wasn’t budging. I blamed shark week... but then it came and went and…
  • Okay, per my comment (that's sort of been buried in here), I am a daily weigher - usually once a day, sometimes twice. Well, I'm using my weigh in from Saturday as opposed to Sunday because on Saturday night I may have indulged in a bit too much non-keno wine and movie theater popcorn. Also either I made a typo in my…
  • I’m so glad we weigh in on Sundays, because this morning I was back up again. Ugh! I think i might not be drinking enough water...? Any other chronic weigh-ers out there? Thinking of starting a support group! :D :D :D :D
  • This week has been better than last! I’ve been sticking closer to the macro goals, but I wish that MFP would reflect net carbs, because I’ve been trying to eat more veggies and that’s affecting the carbs, but also the fiber! Also I’m determined to meal prep a little more this coming week! It’s so much easier to have things…
  • So it’s definitely taking a little adjusting getting back into the keto swing of things! I’m trying this time around to eat more veggies, something I definitely did not make a point of the first time around. Also even though my starting weight for Jan 1st was 166.6, I was 167.8 on ~12/30 (also when I recorded it for…
  • Hi there! Always looking for more people on MFP, especially ones who are also doing keto! It makes it so so much better! Please accept all my incoming friend requests! :smile:
  • I’ve been back and forth with keto lately ever since my wedding in April! I lost so much weight and it was so simple that first time! I’ve been back on and off a few times, but never quite committing as hard as I did before the wedding. Well, now it’s time again! I have been over-indulging enough lately! Time to get back…
  • SW - 164 GW - 150 Monday 10/01 - 161 Sunday 10/07 - 161.8 Sunday 10/15 - 158 Saturday 10/20- 157.8 Monday 10/29 - 159.8 Wednesday 10/31 - 158.8 Most likely a drop due to water weight, but it’s still encouraging! I’m just happy to be rounding out the month in the 150s! All in all, this month has been full of highs and lows,…
  • SW - 164 GW - 150 Monday 10/01 - 161 Sunday 10/07 - 161.8 Sunday 10/15 - 158 Saturday 10/20- 157.8 Monday 10/29 - 159.8 I'm okay with this because I broke and got out of ketosis this weekend. I know it'll come back down... but also I've been SOOOO tempted lately. Mostly because I've been lazy and haven't wanted to cook for…
  • SW - 164 CW - 161 GW - 150 Monday 10/01 - 161 Sunday 10/07 - 161.8 Sunday 10/15 - 158 Sunday 10/20- 157.8 Sunday 10/28 COUNTING IT AS A WIN! And....only counting the weigh-in from Saturday which was -0.2 lbs instead of my weight on Sunday which was +0.5 lbs.
  • SW - 164 CW - 161 GW - 150 Monday 10/01 - 161 Sunday 10/07 - 161.8 Sunday 10/15 - 158 Sunday 10/21 Sunday 10/28 YAY!!!! Finally!!! I weigh myself compulsively usually every day in the morning and at night and I was getting disappointed because I wasn’t eating perfectly within the ratios this week, but still under ~40 g…
  • SW - 164 CW - 161 GW - 150 Monday 10/01 - 161 Sunday 10/07 - 161.8 Sunday 10/14 Sunday 10/21 Sunday 10/28 Haha..... well then. On Saturday I drank too much wine and ate too many Mission carb balance tortillas. (5g net carbs because there's so much fiber in each! But that doesn't mean I should just eat however many I…
  • I think I added myself to the spreadsheet! Is that okay??
  • Keto round ✌️ for this girl. I was fairly strict with keto from 11/17-2/18 in preparation for my April 2018 wedding. I lost 23 lbs during that short time!!! Since then I have slowly gained more weight as time has gone on (because I am the WORST at portion control)...but mostly I'm noticing the way my clothes fit is what's…
  • So overall I was able to finish the month with a slight weight loss. I’m not upset about the small number difference. I strayed many times this month, and especially the last two weeks. We went on a trip with friends this past weekend (with no service and spotty WiFi, so that’s the reason for the delay in posting), and a)…
  • I'm in too! This couldn't be coming at a better time! … I refused to put my actual weight into MFP because I do not want to see that downward trend decline come back up (praying/hoping/thinking it's just water weight..) This will be interesting to say the least!
  • Not freaking out because I strayed two times this week (Valentine's Day and Mexican restaurant with my sister), and I'm pretty sure I'm just on my way back down due to water weight.. I had my third and final dress fitting (HOLY MOLEY!!!! MY WEDDING IS 68 DAYS AWAY AHHHH!!!!) and it fit perfectly!!! I'm really happy with…
  • @stormywxs288 @chinatowninchina @HaideeJo13 @NikkiJRM thank you all for answering!!! I’m glad I’m not alone! But also, that’s good advice to weigh at the same time after the same habits. My issue is sometimes I’ll weigh several times in one morning and it will fluctuate up or down several lbs! I’m currently trying to lose…
  • Just wanting to get a feel for other people’s habits... Do you only weigh yourself on Sundays? I typically hop on my scale several times a week (sometimes more than once a day too). I fluctuate a lot. Like a LOT. Depending on the time of day and whether or not I’ve eaten anything at the time of weighing in... it’s…
  • Feeling good! I stuck closer to the eating plan than I have in a few weeks, and it actually showed! Also. Helpful tip: make sure your scale is flat on the floor or it might say you weigh 10 lbs less than you really do when the scale is flat.... :D 1/31: 156 2/4: 155.6 2/11: 154.4 2/18: 2/25:
  • There is a good keto group on here that’s got a lot of good resources! Also if you ever use reddit there’s a good keto thread on there. I get almost all my recipes from Pinterest and just typing into google any craving I have with the word “keto” in front of it! It’s literally the easiest and best diet ever!
  • @redredy9 go keto!!!! I’ve been doing keto and it is amazing!!! And so easy! I’d recommend starting sooner rather than later though, because you tend to feel funny the first couple days... (Keto flu) and I’ve read some people who say it lasted weeks! Plus you lose all water weight the first couples weeks/months, so if you…
  • My wedding is April 28, 2018 AHHHH!!!! SO SOON!!!!! I've already lost ~18 lbs, but hoping to lose another 8-10 before the wedding! (My dress has a lace up back so it should be okay even if I lose that much weight - but man oh man, do NOT tell a bridal store alterations department you're losing weight or they will PANIC!…
  • Hiiiii!!!!!! Searched “2018 wedding” to find other brides exactly like this post did! Getting married April 28th and CANT FREAKING WEIGHT! Let’s be friends and motivate each other!!!! Yay internet friends!!!!
  • The lowest number on the scale this week was 153, and that was pretty exciting. I was being more strict this past week with sticking to 5% or less carbs, and I think it really made a noticeable difference. Last night I drank too much at a little get together we had for my fiancé’s birthday, so hopefully this is water…
  • Really excited to start seeing what happens with half-marathon training AND keto! A little scared because I haven't been exercising much since starting keto, but I've done my research and it seems like keto + distance running can help with endurance! Goals for February: 1) Stick with half marathon training 2) Get to 150…
  • 1/2 - 158.8 1/7 - 156.4 1/15 - 158.4 1/21 - 157.0 1/29 - 156.4 A little bummed because earlier in the week the lowest number I saw on the scale was 154.0, which would mean a nice even 20 lb loss overall. I'm determined to get there! Coming really close, but falling off the bandwagon once or twice and going beyond my carb…
