Sounds like perhaps you don't fully understand the underlying principles of keto? I would recommend you make sure you understand it before trying it. (That goes for any diet: make sure you understand how it works, why it works, etc). I don't eat keto, but do eat a liberal LCHF wholefood diet, which operates on the same…

@daniels8186 I know the feeling. Feels like a losing battle: damned if you do, damned if you don't... That's how I was feeling up until February last year - after decades of gaining and losing and regaining (weightwatchers was the worst for me: I put on weight on WW!), each time putting on more weight than I lost…

There's a bit of a checklist to run through when not seeing the results you hoped for... from memory, something like:* Give it time. In the short term we have many variations in weight, only the longer term trend is important. * Don't focus so much on "scale" weight, check your other measurements, as you could have changes…

Luciicul Monday Week 1 PW: 145.1 lbs CW: 142.6 lbs In the maintenance zone :)

Hi everyone! I'm Australian, and mum to a moody teenager. This is the second year of me being in this challenge. When I began in February 2019 I was class 3 obese, weighed 119.5kg (263.5 lbs), had insulin resistance, a sluggish thyroid, and was an epic snorer. You may have noticed: all in the past tense. In January 2020 I…

Well done team! The last month or two (COVID crisis) has probably been the hardest time ever to stay focused on our health goals, at the same time as being exactly when we most need to prioritise this (to keep our immune systems as healthy as possible!). One thing I reflected on this morning (as my wellness planner page…

Easter monday/public holiday threw me out a little, plus I put on a bit of weight despite my commitment to lose it (chocolate is my…

Organised! Yes, one of the benefits of losing the excess weight is being able to reclaim old/new clothes. A secret pleasure of life is wearing each pair until they are too baggy and you have to downsize. So satisfying :)

Yes for me this week. My goal is maintenance but my weight has tracked a little on the higher side over the last month so am bringing it back down. The things I have to work on to get there are better sleep (tricky: between increased stress from COVID-19 crisis, & my daughter without school structure is staying up all…

@mtaratoot thanks! What an amazingly indepth response, thank you for taking the time to put that together for me. Yes, it is very helpful, and gives me some good options to go forward with :smile:

@TheMrWobbly I'm sorry to hear about your job. I hope your state/nation puts in place a decent support package or jobs creation program to help your nation get back on track - so many job losses here in Australia too, and no doubt more to come. I am, however, deeply envious & impressed at how quickly you brought order to…

I've had trouble sleeping this past…

@mtaratoot can you recommend a good weight trend app? I've just been recording my weight, not trend. Thanks :)

Congratulations! That's an amazing achievement. And, I hope you get over your illness soon.

I've been feeling the temptation to stress eat. Nothing really bad and unhealthy, just eating more than I need, wanting to snack in between meals - peanut butter on seed crackers being particularly addictive! Late last night Australia announced stage 1 measures in response to corona virus (about time), but it is a bit too…

If both your food scale and bathroom scale use the same batteries, would it work to switch the batteries between them? On weigh-in day put them in your bathroom scale to weigh yourself, but put them in your food scale the rest of the time?

Here in Australia we haven't got to that stage yet, they've only just brought in a ban for events of over 500 people, but everyone is still working and going to school (except, yeah, people who have been overseas have to self-isolate for 14 days). Personally, I think our political leaders are dragging their feet and should…
