Great goal. You can do it.

The only reason your food would be going to fat is that you are eating too much. Fat doesn't turn into fat just because you happen to eat it. It, like other macros will be used to meet your bodies needs. Once those are met, it along with the protein and carbs, will be stored. If there is not excess, your body will pull on…

Not a great eating day yesterday. I was about 875 calories over my calorie budget. On the positive side, the macros were great, very low carb, lots of fat, and decent protein. Back to it today, although at the moment I am not hungry at all. I will see when I get hungry again since even with a calorie budget, I still only…

I can identify with that comment. That was me about 2 years back. After about 100 pounds loss, I was trying to figure out maintenance with some limited success. Then I looked at what my body looks like, and decided that I needed to go back on a small deficit to let the last of my fat slowly go, so I am not in maintenance…

For me protein fills me up, and fat keeps me full. If I get hungry earlier than expected, I can pretty much always find that my fat percentage in the previous meal was not sufficient. I find while carbs fill me up quickly as well, I get hungry very soon afterwards (1-2 hours) so for me, in terms of satiety, I avoid them…

While I like the idea of challenges, as they can push one out of complacency, at the same time, trying to achieve them can also cause one to push too far. That is especially true for me now in my 50s. I am still learning to really listen to my body, and not get so focused on meeting the goal of the challenge that I ignore…

In general, no. With the various possible situations where it could be as mentioned by previous posters.

My experience has been basically the same. I had a pre-diabetic A1C, and going basically Keto (started out extremely low carb, then moved to actual keto after doing more reading, and now more meat based Keto) I found not only did my A1C improve back to normal, but a whole host of other issues I didn't even realize where…

Weight is coming down again. I am remaining in Ketosis according to my breath meter, and my exercise is on point. Overall, I am pleased with how this month is going.

Good goals. All the best. Keep us updated on your progress.

I have never really liked running. I did it when I had to. This time I seem to be enjoying it. I still wouldn't consider myself a runner, but my weight program is a strength program, and it really doesn't do much to get my heart rate up for more than short bursts when I am lifting. It is great for building strength, but I…

I have been doing a good job on staying in Ketosis. Less good on losing weight. The numbers have actually been going the other way. I am pretty sure it is because I started running on our treadmill. I have never been much of a person for running, but I wanted to do something different. I did some searching on Youtube, and…

My November goal is to go to a new goal weight 5 pounds less than my current goal weight along with continuing to workout according to my existing workout plan. I am not really set on getting to my new goal weight in November, just really getting the weight moving down and closer to it since I wouldn't be looking to lose…

It was Canadian Thanksgiving this past Monday. We celebrated as a family on Sunday, and I used my smoker to make a smoked turkey. It was excellent. More work that just putting it in the oven, but I thought it was well worth it. There were very little left overs from it, and that this point all that is left is the wings and…

I don't really have goals for October other than maintaining my weight and keeping working out. I did switch from Bodyweight to lifting weights this Monday. Canadian Thanksgiving meant a free eating day for me, although I did make some Keto desserts so I could enjoy dessert left-overs without huge numbers of carbs…

Excellent.

Well, I have discovered a new favorite way of cooking burgers at home. My favorite burgers are those cooked on a grill over the fire while camping. I discovered that using my pellet grill I can get the same sort of flavor in my backyard without having to build a fire. Time to get more ground beef. I will have to thaw some…
-
The smoker worked well, although boneless skinless chicken breasts (all I had available as I am working at emptying out our freezer and they were thawed) are not ideal for smoking. They did turn out ok, but really I needed something with more fat. I have several racks of ribs, so I think I will thaw them and smoke them on…

I picked up a used Pit Boss pellet smoker yesterday. I only had time to fire it up to make sure that it would at least start last night, but hopefully tonight after work I can use it some more. So much more space than my vertical smoker has, and having integrated temperature control so I don't have to constantly adjust…

Thanks for the update. Good job. Keep it up.

It looks like it will be beautiful weekend weather around here. Lots of sun, and no rain. The temperatures might be a little high, but that is not a bad thing for what I need to work on. Our car has some rust holes that need work. I figure that will fill my time for the weekend. I have to do the same on our truck, but I am…

This week has been pretty good overall. There was a potluck at our church on Sunday, so I ate freely for that meal. I had a small snack of meat late in the day so I would not be hungry in the morning, and that worked well. According to my ketone breath meter, while I didn't drop completely out of ketosis, I was back into…

Good job seeking to take control. As for your question, is it possible? I would give a qualified, "yes", as I don't know how much you have to lose, so I am assuming a fair amount. This is especially true if you significantly cut your carbs, as you will drop water weight initially as you burn off the stored glycogen which…

I got the brakes done on our car this weekend. It brakes nicely now. Beyond that it was a really busy weekend, and I am quite tired after it.

Maintenance is going well. I was 164 pounds this morning, so in the 163-167 maintenance range I am striving for.
-
It is a dark and dreary day here today, and it looks like more of the same for Saturday. The positive, is I have a lot to do that in inside, so while it does hinder some of my plans, it doesn't stand in the way of all of them. The temperatures have really dropped as well. I don't mind that, but it means I have to start…

My goal this week is to above all, learn to maintain my weight loss. I am hoping to keep my weight generally between 163 and 167 pounds. My secondary goals are to continue eating ketovore and continue with my exercise program.
-
August was a success in my books as I not only reached my weight loss goal, but in spite of various injuries, I maintained a good workout schedule. Right now, I am a pound out of the range I want to maintain in, but that is going to be water/food weight as I have not eaten enough calories to have actually put on fat.

This post is from 2016, you might want to start a new one. It might be worth the expense to consult a personal trainer for exercises due to the issues you have.
