Just staying on track. I lost over 40 pounds a year ago and gained it all back plus more. I started my journey over again 3 days ago. I've been really fighting the urge to binge. So far I've managed to overcome the feeling. My goal is to get through this first week successfully. For me the first week is the hardest.

My Las Vegas trip that I'm taking in 3 months. I've never been so motivated in my life! :D I refuse to be poolside and feel uncomfortable and embarrassed about how I look.

Be careful lowering your protein!! I tried that and my hair started falling out because it was too low.

SW for March: 223.8 lbs GW for March: 213 lbs 1. Lose 10 lbs this month 2. Drink a gallon of water a day 3. Workout 2-3 times a week 4. Stick to 20-25 net carbs a day 5. Log EVERYTHING

Would taking a B-12 supplement help me?

I definitely eat enough calories. The low protein makes sense though... I did lower my protein macros because I read if they are too high it can cause insulin spikes. I'll make it higher and eat more protein and see if that helps. Thanks :)

Keto for me too. I have my macros set at 80% Fat, 15% Protein, 5% Carbs. My body responds better that way.

I have like 53 pounds to lose

I took my measurements I think back in March. I'll measure myself again tonight. I forgot I even took my measurements because its been so long.

It was definitely mostly water weight and I wasn't dehydrated. I drink almost a gallon everyday. I'm not expecting to lose 11 pounds or even 3 pounds every week. I've even seen people on their first week drop like 4-5 pounds in 2-3 days. I know that is not sustainable and I'm not expecting that to happen to me. It was just…

I've actually been IF for the past like week and a half and still haven't budged the scale. Maybe my TOM is approaching and its holding me back a little. Who knows. I've weighed mostly all my foods and logged everything so I don't know why I'm not losing. I dropped like 11 pounds the first week so maybe I'm over reacting.…

I plan on sticking to keto foods only during holidays. My family always has cookouts and parties and so far I've done very well staying away from carbie foods. Practice of will power I guess lol. I'm going to make a low carb dish and bring it so I know Ill have a side that I definitely be able to eat.

THIS!!! ^^^^^

OMG I'M GLAD I READ THIS! I def know this WOE can make you breath smell horrible and I always have a metallic taste in my mouth but I have been noticing that my deodorant seems to wear off much faster now. At first I thought I just had a bad stick of deodorant. I had no clue this way of eating can make you more potent. Its…

I log pretty faithfully Mon-Fri but once the weekend hits I may not even log at all. I do usually eat one larger meal a day though and a snack later on after that. Most days I don't eat anything until after 5:00 PM. I'm just not hungry in the morning at all and can definitely skip lunch no problem. With this WOE I'm just…

The link below is a lowcarb/Keto group here on MFP. Everyone in the group is super nice and help you learn new stuff everyday. Check it out :) http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

Also doing Keto. Anyone feel free to add me :)

What she said! To me measuring is a better way to see your progress. Especially if you are hitting the gym. You could be losing fat but gaining muscle.

Hmm.. Maybe I'll just stick to water and black coffee in the AM now.

I only put one tablespoon of oil in my coffee. I just didn't know if that would defeat the purpose of fasting.

I'm currently going through the same issue. Not really having cravings and do really good during the week but when the weekend comes all hell breaks loose. I feel its mostly pressure from social situations but I don't want to become a hermit on the weekends just because I cant control myself around people who don't follow…

I mean diabetes runs heavy in my family but I don't have extreme thirst all the time. It was just real bad yesterday. I feel fine today

THANKS! I'll drink some pickle juice when I get home.

I second what @Sunny_Bunny_ said :)

OMG I NEVER THOUGHT TO BRING MY OWN LOW CARB TORTILLAS!! I know we arent allowed to do that but what they don't know won't hurt them :D

I need help in this area too!

Definitely not putting a cracker in my mouth. Next thing I know the whole back will be gone :D

My epic fail was making my own egg drop soup. I sounds easy enough but I made it SO salty that I couldn't even stomach it. After the salty broth, soy sauce, and adding actual table salt.. I might as well of just poured nothing but salt in a bowl and ate that plain :D

2 weeks of a fat fast? I thought a fat fast should be only be done 3-5 days at a time..

I've never tried them but from the reviews I've seen I don't think I will lol
