Sunday 8/5: 237.2 Sunday 8/12: 233.6 Sunday 8/19: 235.6 up 2 lbs Sunday 8/26: Went up 2 lbs, which is unsurprising, given the night of revelry I had on Thursday. ^_^ Totally worth it! I still have time to reach my goal of 8 lbs for the month, so I'm not going to sweat this gain.

Sunday 8/5: 237.2 Sunday 8/12: 233.6 Sunday 8/19: Sunday 8/26: Super excited by my loss this week: over 40 lbs down in almost 6 months! Also, I went clothes shopping for the first time since starting keto, and I am down 3 pants sizes! Super excited to have clothes that really fit again! ^_^ Keto on everyone! :love:

I weighed myself early yesterday, just out of curiosity and the scale gave me some excellent news! I am down 40 lbs! I can't believe that I've finally seen 40 lbs weight loss! I'm not even going to record it yet, because I know how much my body weight fluctuates, so I'll take the official number down on Sunday, but yay!!!!

YAAAASSSS!!! I think this is a must! I'll join you! :heart:

Sunday 8/5: 237.2 down 2 lbs Sunday 8/12: Sunday 8/19: Sunday 8/26 Finally! Back on track and in control! August is my month!! :heart:

Sunday 07/01: 241.8 Sunday 07/08: 238 Sunday 07/17: 241 Sunday 07/22: 238.4 Sunday 07/29: 241.4 Back up :disappointed: I am so disappointed that my weight went back UP! But then I looked back over my week, and I totally accept fault for it. Also, I weighed myself the next day and was at 239.4, so I think it was water…

June and July were both terrible for me... I was doing lazy keto and that apparently does not work for me. Especially when I go on vacation and get kicked out of ketosis. I've been fasting this week, attempting to get my blood sugars back under control. So hopefully this month, doing (mostly) strict keto again, I will lose…

I have the same results, my fasting numbers are always highest when I am waking up, and go back down to a normal number through the rest of the day. I've heard that it is called the Dawn Phenomenon and from what I've read, there really isn't any known solution to it. So keep calm and keto on. ^_^

Sunday 07/01: 241.8 Sunday 07/08: 238 Sunday 07/17: 241 Sunday 07/22: 238.4 Down 2.6 lbs Sunday 07/29 Woot! Almost down to where I was before my camping trip! Woot!

Sunday 07/01: 241.8 Sunday 07/08: 238 Sunday 07/17: 241 +3 lbs Sunday 07/22 Sunday 07/29 Hello! I'm back from my camping trip and I am super excited to see that I'm only up a few pounds! Saturday was the family reunion pot luck and as I figured, absolutely NOTHING keto-like whatsoever! So I just enjoyed myself and ate til…

TBH, I imbibe a few nights a week. I do about 2-3 oz of vodka on the rocks, and yes, I track it to make sure it stays within my calories. I will occasionally indulge in a glass of wine if I can fit the carbs in. But that's more rare then Grey Goose. I've not experienced any hangovers, but like I said, I drink just a couple…

I'm the same way. I don't really miss chips, but I miss steak fries and hash browns and potato cakes and most everything made out of a potato. And I totally indulge in a couple every now and then. I think I've had like 5 since starting keto a couple on one occasion and three on another. LOL! Another thing: Apples! I MISS…

Sunday 07/01: 241.8 Sunday 07/08: 238 - Down 3.8 lbs! :open_mouth: Sunday 07/15 Sunday 07/22 Sunday 07/29 I have no idea why I dropped so much weight! I've literally done nothing different to my diet except maybe cut out some of the pork rinds... :sweat_smile: I did fast for... maybe 36 hours, so I suppose that had…

I LOVE this! This is exactly how I feel too!

Sunday 07/01: 241.8 Down 1 lb from last week Sunday 07/08 Sunday 07/15 Sunday 07/22 Sunday 07/29 I'm still in awe of how easy and wonderful this keto journey has been! I'm losing weight, eating food that I love, even when I'm being lazy, and still the weight is coming off. I also did my measurements yesterday: 1.5 inch off…

Yep! I totally found a bunch! Even found some on Wish, haha! So I can't wait to order myself one. ^_^

NSV for today: tried on a smaller size of capris today and they fit beautifully! Bought them and another in a different color. ^_^ They'll probably only fit me through the end of this summer, but they're super cheap, cute, and comfy! ^_^

That's *kitten* amazing! ^_^

@stormywxs288 Where did you get the t-shirt in your profile pic?! ^_^

Hi @mommafruitcake and welcome! I've sent you a friend request. And to answer your questions: I just passed my 4 month mark doing keto last Saturday. I started doing it for the health benefits: type 2 diabetes, overweight, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc. I wanted to just overhaul my whole way of eating, because…

Sunday 6/3: 246.6 Sunday 6/10: 245 Sunday 6/17: 244 Sunday 6/24: 242.8 Total down: 3.8 lbs for the month of June. Woot! Almost a pound a week! I'm completely happy with that. NSV for me: I pulled out all of my old clothes (some are as old as 2000-2005) and tried on everything. I'm down 2 pants sizes (because, lets be…

Hey everyone! I don't normally post pictures of myself, ever, unless they're just of my face at a certain angle... but I'm seriously excited about this one! Because I can finally SEE the progress I'm making! ^_^

Sunday 07/01 Sunday 07/08 Sunday 07/15 Sunday 07/22 Sunday 07/29 I'm going to be out camping for a week in the middle of July, so I may or may not get to weigh myself the weeks of the 8th and the 15th. I suppose I could take my scale with me in the camper and report whenever I get some cell service. ^_^ But I expect to…

This week has been really good as far as getting control over my need for 'crunchy' snacks at night, after work. I've been buying these 1 oz bags of pork rinds instead of the larger 10 oz bags and eating them all in one sitting. I've been grabbing 1 oz and the crunch I like has been satisfied by far less. And I didn't even…

Sunday 6/3: 246.6 Sunday 6/10: 245 Sunday 6/17: 244 Sunday 6/24: I just realized my #s were off by a week somehow... lol! Anyway, updated. Losing at a good rate, I think. About a pound a week feels really good! And my scale tells me my BMI as well as Body Fat %, and seeing those numbers go down each week makes me feel even…

Sounds like you're doing great so far! When I was researching Keto last year, I read a lot of info on the internet at websites like ruled.me and dietdoctor.com. But I also looked a lot on Pinterest, because there are a lot of pictures of food lists, what to eat, what not to eat, what to eat sparingly. As far as books, I've…

Snacks that I like: pork rinds, cheese, pepperoni sticks, nuts, Whisps (cheese chips), tuna pouches, hard boiled eggs, half an avocado. I don't snack very much because I'm just not that hungry, but when I do, it's usually a mix of these things and serves as a meal instead. Hope that helps!

Sunday 6/3: 245 Sunday 6/10: Sunday 6/17: Sunday 6/24: NSV for me today: My A1C levels are down to 5.9 from 7.9 three months ago! Yay! My doctor is super pleased with my progress, as am I! ^_^

I followed this website's walkthrough: cavemanketo.com/configuring-mfp/ Hope it helps!

I was going to ask, are you checking a bag? Because you can put a heck of a lot of dry/pantry type snack/food in your checked bag for your trip. Tuna pouches, olive cups, pepperoni, cheese, butter, etc. But also, you might want to try a 24 hour fast on your travel day. Just eat a nice big dinner the night before and don't…
