5'1" here, and yup a few pounds shows up dramatically. Mostly, I feel it in my clothes. I always dress for comfort but I also don't want to be dumpy. I did Keto also, a few years ago, and reached my goal but then I got sick and had family visiting from out of town and all that threw my out of keto and I gained it back.…

I admit - I enjoy watching some food documentaries - although some are definitely bunk. Mostly I watch them to get inspired and back on track. I like Joe Cross and his work with juicing - but I would never advocate this as a diet, it's just not sustainable. Everything in moderation. I also eat meat, because I feel better…

ANY walking is great for you. Park at the far end of the lot when you go to the store and walk. Park a block away from your destination and walk the rest of the way. If you are not in the routine of walking, starting with an hour might be a challenge, and then discouraging. Start with 20 minutes (about 1.5miles) then walk…

My chocolate stash is an open secret in this house! Only dark high quality for me. It is my weak spot. I have a chocolate protein smoothie every morning. It is full and satisfying with lots of fiber and very little, if any sugar. I try to find healthy ways to eat t, and I've been trying to stick to the Keto diet as well.…

What is "DD"?

What is "DD"?

I just completed a 3 day Master Cleanse fast (lemonade, cayenne pepper and maple syrup) in an effort to give my system a rest. My plan is to continue with simple easy digestible food for a week then get back to Keto. I weigh in at 126 (at 5"1") which is where I typically balance out after the holidays. Two years ago I got…

That is about 1 #/week- pretty good for maintaining long term weight loss. The first month I started Keto I lost 4 pounds, which I felt good about. Since then it has curbed off, sometimes none somethings up to a pound. Not a huge amount, but it is moving in the right direction. And more importantly, I feel like I've reset…

Once you get over that initial hump you'll be cruising! I slacked some during the holidays but had the same experience as rsclause above. I ate a baked good and it was actually disgusting I had to discreetly spit it out. so sicky sweet. (I ate plenty of chips though!) I started Keto around October and lost 8 pounds in…

Check in. Lost 1.5 since last weeks weigh in. 118.5.

1 cup kale, 1 scrambled egg, 1 C riced cauliflower, sausage link or bacon. Kale and Cauli give it some carbs but I think the fiber is important as well as the nutrition from the veggies. I'm still able to keep my carbs between 30 -50g/day.

Height 5'1" HW: 125 CW:119.5 GW: 115 11/11: 120 (I'm rounding up) 11/18 11/25: The first 5.5 pounds came off fairly easily with Keto. Still on keto, but starting to crave dense belly filling food - (that might have something to do with being pre-mentrual.) I didn't lose anything with last weigh in,, I weigh in once a week.…

. I guess you are looking for a challenge! I may take you up on that. In

I do Beachbody Piyo. Though not daily. Now that the weather is changing I'll be more likely to do it than go outside for my exercise. Anyone up for a challenge?

Pilates is great for working the 4 layers of your ab muscles. The deepest transverse abs is most important for posture and stabilizing, which will support your form in other exercises. I like Piyo too for variety. I'm not a video workout person at all but I've enjoyed the Beachbody Piyo videos.

I'm in - I've lost 6 and I'm shooting for a total of 15. I'm a petite 5'1'' and started at 125, which is too much for my frame. My goal is to get to 110, then add more muscle mass. ADD ME TOO

Way to go! That is awesome!

warm (not hot) water with a squeeze of lemon is very good for waking up the digestive system. I go through cycles - about 3 weeks I have this first thing in the morning, followed by breakfast and coffee. Now i am starting with coffee - in a few weeks will probably feel the need to switch again. It's just what my body wants.

25 C is pretty low to start with. Have you considered starting with 50 C/day then working your way down? My sweet involves chocolate, so my Keto replacement has been 1/4 C ricotta cheese, 2 Tbsp cocoa powder and just enough stevia pdr to make it sweet. Spoonful of almond butter with a square of 90% dark chocolate is also a…

Ali here. I am about day 10 on Keto. I am feeling pretty darn good. No cravings, feeling satisfied though out the day. I'm also finding that when I exercise there is less of a hump to have to get over when I start. My mood has balanced out too. I've lost 3.5 pounds as of last Saturday weigh in. I'm looking to shed the…

Ditto. I'm doing the Keto thing to lose about 15 pounds then switch to a more balanced macro ratio, and maintaining with moderate, at minimum exercise. I love hearing what others are doing and how their process is coming along.

I am new to Keto, started a week ago. Like GrokRock, I also found my morning workouts significantly harder the first few days. I'm guessing I'm in ketosis - thirsty, less bloat, generally stabilized mood, bowel movements have changed, and wake up in the morning - or from an afternoon nap WIDE awake. I'm eating a fair…
