In some of those photos, you really look like Mariah Carey (but prettier). Great job!

@stormywxs288, thanks for your words of encouragement. We can do this!!! Also, I have been "in and out" of these challenges for several months, and I always enjoy when you change your profile pictures. Cute shirts! Do you have a source for these, or do you have someone who makes them just for you?

Good morning all! @stormywxs288 , your phrase "keto lite version" really resonated with me this morning. I seem to be struggling lately, but as I read your post, I had to admit to myself that I have only been half-hearted with my Keto efforts for several months now. (But I did manage to RE-lose 2.4 lbs during July!) As a…

I thought I did really well with all of my food choices this week, both quality and quantity. I have managed to avoid birthday cake at parties, rolls at O'Charley's, and I even…

@shanoutlaw01, nothing to be embarrassed about. We are all on the same journey, we are just starting in different places. Good luck with your July goal!

Hi, guys. I thought I could do Keto without all of the logging, but I haven't been as successful lately. My keto stix and Precision Xtra are both registering ketones, but I am not losing lately. I guess it is too much cream in my coffee, too many nuts, and too much cheese? Anyway, I am going back to logging to hopefully…

Hi, all. I did a terrible job of logging for November, but did manage to be down 4 lbs for the month. I plan to do better a job of logging in December. HW: 321 Keto SW: 301 (Started 3/26/2018) 11/30 269.0 Sunday 12/02: Sunday 12/09: Sunday 12/16: Sunday 12/23: Sunday 12/30: Good luck to everyone!

Hi, Guys! I am late checking in this month. I wasn't home last Sunday, and I have promised myself that I will only weigh on Sundays to keep from obsessing over scale movement. It looks like most everyone is off to a good start. Congratulations! Here I go... Wednesday 10/31 269.8 Sunday 11/04 ??? Sunday 11/11 267.8 (-2.0)…

I am SO CLOSE to the 270s, and I have been really good with my decisions all week long. I don't understand. :( Oh, well. Maybe I'm in for a…

It was a good week! I have my fingers crossed that I can be out of the 280s by July 31. I'm close! HW: 321 Keto SW: 301 7/01/2018: 285.4 7/08/2018: 281.8 (-3.6) 7/15/2018: 284.8 (+3) 7/22/2018: 284.8 (0) 7/29/2018: 280.6 (-4.2)

I don't feel TOO bad about this. I can tell some of this is water weight from the puffiness in my feet. I am sore from all of the hiking, and I tried to eat Keto as much as possible during vacation, but there were several occasions when it just wasn't possible. I'm still down slightly for the month (with a couple of weeks…

I made it to the top of Rough Ridge for a spectacular view from The Blowing Rock. (Actually, probably more impressive is that FOUR of my vacation days required hikes of varying degrees of difficulty. Not my usual "hang out at the beach, try new restaurants, and do some shopping" kind of vacation!)

Yay!!! I had a good week! HW: 321 Keto SW: 301 7/01/2018: 285.4 7/08/2018: 281.8 (-3.6) 7/15/2018: 7/22/2018: 7/29/2018: My goal for next week is just to maintain. I'm on vacation (less control over diet), but we will also be doing a little hiking so maybe it will all even out. Fingers crossed!!!
