I am. I’m on week 2.

Our fat cells are very stubborn and don’t like to release all their volume until it has to and will replace lipids with water. This is a good article from Lyle McDonald that explains the theory. https://bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/of-whooshes-and-squishy-fat.html/

I do my best to stay Keto, but I do allow myself a special treat or 2 if it’s something I’ve always loved. My tastes have changed so much though that some fruit with a cafe latte is heaven now. Fruit tastes like candy and I can taste the sweetness of the milk in the latter and enjoy the balance of the sweet and bitter. I…

I’ve seen huge improvements with my body and nearly zero migraines after having them several times a week. I feel better and better everyday. I love research articles! I did a lot of research (all research articles that had conducted studies) on Keto and Autism and discovered the benefits Keto has on autoimmune diseases…

I’m joining this challenge as I’m 5 weeks in and want continued encouragement. I’m doing Keto and omad. Feel free to add me as a friend. I had a lot of success with Keto before I started struggling with thyroid issues. Now that my thyroid is stable I’m continuing on my journey.

I use it to make cheesecake bites that I freeze for when I'm desperate for something sweet around shark week.

Mine is open. I sometimes get creative and if you need or want recipes let me know. I will usually get inspired and make something up.

^^^^ this...measure yourself, you are usually not plateauing, it's that darn scale the seems to think you are but you are still shrinking. Fat takes up more volume than muscle at the same weight. Keto is meant to preserve muscle so that is what your body is doing. Even when I'm not losing on the scale, I'm always losing on…

My diary is open too. Feel free to add me. I'm not the most active person on these boards or the news feed, but I do "like" people's status a lot. I'm on the lighter side of activity.

Thanks Lori!

Thank you so much everyone! I'm going to check out these sites tonight. There is so much I don't know. It's good to know that I shouldn't settle for 4.8 and to get as close to 1 as possible. My mom had thyroid cancer too and had her thyroid removed as well but I was 4 years old when it happened. She told me to take my meds…

I suffer from chronic back pain, knee pain, and sciatica. I ended up with my pain issues from a mixture of being a waitress, bartender and an abusive relationship. My pain improved tremendously with Keto and I actually was able to get off my pain meds. Since I basically fell off the wagon 3 weeks ago, got back on and fell…

Thanks for the update! What breed/breeds of dog are the puppies? They are so cute!

I measure everywhere because what I've noticed, I will lose on my legs one week and my upper body the next. It really helps keep me motivated that I can actually see that loss is happening even if it's not showing on the scale.

I just had my gallbladder out about six weeks ago. I had the same pain and then it started waking me up in the middle of the night. I have a very high pain tolerance and the pain started lasting longer and longer. By time I went to the ER, I was hour 13 into the last attack and my gallbladder was very inflamed and had…

I love the salted caramel, to be fair it's the only one I've tried so far. I've used it in a keto raspberry cheesecake I made for my birthday and in coffee. My mom said she could taste an aftertaste but she used a lot more than I did.

I found this recipe that I plan on making for my bday in a week. http://screwedonstraight.net/new-york-style-keto-cheesecake/

I have one, but my charger broke and I'm waiting for a new one.

Welcome! I love this WOE, it's easy to sustain because you are rarely hungry and the food is so good. The first few days are the hardest, but it gets so much easier the longer you go. I had to focus on one meal at a time in the beginning and I made sure I planned my day beforehand so it would be harder to mess up. Good…

Thank you for the tip!

OMG the Amazing sugar-free gummy bears feedbacks! So hilarious! I almost peed myself reading those a few months back

I'm going to try this, looks good! Thanks for the recipe!

Anyone is free to add me too :)

I love diet soda, just not coke or Pepsi, I'm more into the root beer, cherry 7-up, Mountain Dew, Dr Pepper, and orange tastes. I don't drink a lot of them because I just never buy them, but when they're in the house I'm like an addict. I let my son have a root beer (the real deal) once a week, so I started getting a diet…

My weight has been staying fairly steady too, but the inches are melting off! Congratulations!!!

Veggies, nuts, and dairy mostly, I'm at 20 net carbs, but usually only get about 15.

Great job! It's such a great feeling!!!

I really hope that happens for me eventually. My cravings usually only last 2 days, but they are difficult to get through. I try so hard not to think of it, but I'm just so hungry and it's not that I crave bad stuff, I just want to eat all the time.

It looks like I'm only posting every few days. I lost 7.5 inches this week and no lbs so far, but it's shark week. I had a nsv today, I get a ton of cravings on my period and it's mostly just wanting to snack. Well, I snacked all day and I added everything and I still have enough calories left for dinner! My macros are…

I think it's up to the individual, there has been many successes with his way of eating as there is with Keto. What makes a person fat is the combination of carbs with fat, so if you eat very low fat (10%) of your daily calories you will lose weight and be healthier or with LC you keep your carbs down and fat up. It's all…
