I originally started this journey 2 1/2 years ago. I haven't stuck to keto since before Christmas. Luckily I've managed to only gain 10 pounds. But I'm in a new city, a new job and it's high stress. The only thing I've maintained is staying active. So today was day one. I stated in Monday but evenings are when I really…

I've recently noticed a similar issue in my arms, they have noticeable sag which was not present before, but also some definition as well. I'm with the others: once I get to goal weight, I don't mind having surgery.

Also, can I have your pumpkin keto fluff recipe, please?

I think it looks pretty good. If you are worried about the reliance on heavy cream, you can do one of two things, see if you continue to lose while drinking the same amount, or you can switch to other fat options such as coconut oil or avocado, etc.

I recently traveled to Washington DC for a conference for work. I was gone for 5 days and I had very little control over what I could eat. However, I did not let this get the best of me. At the airport, I bought a sandwich, threw out the bread and ate the meat/cheese. I only had two meals that I had to eat out while at the…

I still get cravings (I think mostly habit). But not nearly as bad as when I eat all the carbs in the world. I notice that they are less, and honestly I think it's more out of convenience at times that I miss them. If I up my fats for a few days it typically helps out.

My daughter and I really like shrimp cooked in butter over spaghetti squash.

I made oopsie bread for the first time about 3 weeks ago, I thought it was okay, but like another commenter, I did not care for the taste as much, I thought the egg taste was pretty over powering. I think it would be better with additional spices in it. I did however like it with peanut butter one it, but I love peanut…

Have you used the keto calculator? http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

I started Keto 09/16/13 and lost 67lbs by June 29th 2014. Then I basically stopped/started/stopped/started until a month ago when I re-started (I got engaged, we bought a house, I moved an hour away). In the beginning I lost 10lbs a month for the first 3 months, then I started working out and I would lose on average 5lbs a…

Thank you!

I have eaten the tortilla shells from time to time. I personally think they taste very good, but I am cautious of these food alternatives. If I eat one, I typically do it sparingly and only when nothing else will help my craving. This is one of those items where YMMV, it could cause you to stall or you might be fine. Also,…

That is awesome! I get on the scale just to laugh, my scale is so inaccurate that it just causes me to laugh each morning (and I've bought two different digital scales that both do the same thing). I do agree with previous posters and take your measurements!

I hate tracking. It's a pain. But for me if I don't I will eat way to many calories. I think it's really nice that you are doing this for your friend. I hope he crosses over =)

I typically drink BPC on the way to work at about 6:45 am and by 8:30 or 9am I am hungry. Typically I just drink HWC w/my coffee because I seem to go the same amount of time and then have a snack in between. I've just heard so many people say that BPC will carry them through to lunch (my Fiance included he can go several…

I buy HWC @ HEB (Texas) it is actually cheaper than Sam's Club at $3.50 per quart and over $4.25 @ Sam's, but it's possible it is cheaper for you at Sam's or costco vs. grocery store. I do buy our cheese and kerrygold butter and bacon at costco or sams'

10 oz coffee w/1 tbsp coconut oil, 1 tbsp kerry gold butter, 2 tbsp hwc

Does anyone else drink BPC and not feel full? I've been doing Keto for about a year and 4 months (I did not stay on track every single day), however when I drink BPC it does not make me feel full at all. I've tried it with an extra tablespoon of butter or coconut oil, or even MTC oil and no difference. I wish it kept me…

Have you tried the "egg muffins"? I have made them several ways but I can do a batch and keep in the freezer or fridge. If you google it or even look it up on pinterest. I've done it where I just line a muffin tin with a piece of ham and crack an egg and bake, or scramble a dozen eggs and chop up veggies and bake. It's…

Hello, I'm Nicole. My journey starting in August 2013 when I went to a Chinese herbal doctor who offered acupuncture, lots of vitamins and wanted me to eliminate most carby foods. After a few weeks, I decided this was not for me. So what do I do? I go to a weight loss doctor who prescribes phentermine, however they gave me…

Amazing! You look beautiful and you have done a tremendous job!

Congratulations on your success! You have been doing a great job!

Have you used this calculator? http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ I found it pretty helpful

Can you open your diary? I am having a similar problem except I know what the problem is. I am eating too much and not the right foods. It started with my trip to disney in May. I came back I weighed 10lbs more, lost the 10lbs within about a week and a half, went back off low carb for 2 weeks gained the 10lbs (again) and…

I think you have done a tremendous job! It is very encouraging to read that you kept fighting all this time and I'm really proud of you. It really does not matter when you get to your goal, it just matters that you get there. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Hello.... =) Okay....first things first, your weight will vary. Some weeks you will lose a bit and others you may even gain. DO NOT stress. As time goes on you will lose weight at a slower pace. I have lots to lose and I am averaging about 4lbs a month....I've had to change the way I think, now I have to be thankful I lose…

My only experience is on a personal level. I do not slowly add back in carbs, I went on vacation all last week and ate way to much, I "gained" 7lbs but I completely expect this to come off by the beginning of next week. For me it never seems to matter if I eat too many carbs in one day or one week, the bloat is evident,…

What an amazing accomplishment! Congratulations on your 100lb loss!

This is absolutely amazing! You have done such an amazing job! Keep up the good work :smile:

Amazing job!
