I haven’t been very active since I started working from home. But I’ve been losing weight (down 13lbs) with my diet. My weight loss stalls if I eat too much protein. I reduced my protein per meal by an oz each week until I found an amount where I would loose weight. And I increased my carbs gradually to an amount where I…

And it never…

I read the Beck book quickly and it was an easy read. I’ll read it again (and truly study it and do the exercises) over the next couple of weeks. **Spoiler alert** The book suggested writing out your advantages for losing weight onto cards and to read them twice a day. I probably would have skipped some of the light…

36, 5’3 April SW: 146 Dec 1: 135 Goals for this month: Lose 6 lbs and get into the 120s! Hi everyone! I’m in too! December is always hard for me too with so much going on at home and work. My husband and I celebrate our birthdays this week, we’ve got work commitments most evenings and family stuff on weekends. It’s hard to…

Nov 24: 137 Nov 25: 135.2 Nov 26: 135.6 Nov 27 135.4 Nov 28 135 I found it easier to stick to my meal plan as the week went on. I made some of my greasy favourites to ease into the transition. Egg and peameal bacon sandwiches and lettuce wrapped cheese burgers for lunch. Yum; it was so good. I think I’ll make it once a…

Thanks @booksnbrains! It was a chore but I hope it will be easier to stick to than weighing my food after cooking or eyeballing it accurately. I was brave this morning and got on the scale. 137lbs! wohoo only up 4.5lbs. Not so bad given I haven't been careful with what I've been eating and my sleep has been terrible. Today…

Happy birthday @weatherking2019! You're inspiring. I'm restarting Day 1 today. I spent all day Saturday meal prepping. It was exhausting. I got up early to get groceries and then spent the entire afternoon chicken breast, steaks, porkchops and salmon into single serve portions. I made enough to last a month and packed them…

36, 5’3 Sept 2: 133.4 Sept 8: 133.2 Sept 11: 131.6 I'm down a pound! And just in time. I needed to see some progress to stay motivated with resisting carbs and getting up early for morning work outs.

I've been drinking teeccino because they come in tea bags and I can carry a packet in my purse.

Sept 8 check in - still at 133.2! I enjoyed a lot of wine over the long weekend but I was good about watching the carbs. I'm glad I didn't gain any weight and I'm not feeling bloated from eating junk. This weekend I was able to wear a pair of jeans I haven't worn in over a year. It felt great to pull them on. I only own 1…

Meal prep is hard! I look for portion controlled/minimal cooking options when I am busy. Hard boiled eggs, cheese snack packs, can tuna and salad boxes are my go tos. You'll figure it out when you get settled in and find a new routine.

Thanks for starting the September thread! @weatherking2019 36, 5’3 April SW: 146 June 2: 138 July 4: 135 Aug: 134-135 Sept 2: 133.4 GW: 110 Goals this month: 1. Drink my coffee black. I enjoy cream in my coffee but since working from home I have been drinking a lot of coffee. I probably adding an extra 200 calories to my…

36, 5’3 April SW: 146 June 2: 138 July 4: 135 Aug: 134-135 GW: 110 I’ve been MIA for weeks but I’m still in this! I got a really bad stomach bug after eating oysters. I took a break from working out and stayed in maintenance a bit longer. Plus I was working on the house renos and didn’t have the energy to get up early to…

I got a Bodpod assessment done a few years ago when I was gaining weight for what I thought was no reason and it turned out I only burn 1,300 calories a day. I'm 5'3. I really need to ramp up my cardio and watch my diet to loose or maintain my weight. The 5:2 diet or south beach diet works best for me to loose weight.

36, 5’3 April SW: 146 June 2: 138 June 19: 135.6 June 30: 134.2 July 4: 135 GW: 110 July goals: - get into the 120s - stick to a low carb diet Mon to Fri - get up earlier for morning runs/workouts

I had a great month! Lost 4 lbs in June 36, 5’3 April SW: 146 June 2: 138 June 19: 135.6 June 30: 134.2 GW: 110

Mid-month check in: My weight loss progress temporarily stalled and I added back carbs to my diet. I'm going to restart the diet next week. 36, 5’3 April SW: 146 June 2: 138 June 19: 135.6 Goals: 1. Work out 3-4x per week 2. Low carb 3. Limit drinks to once a week 4. Get 8 hours of shut eye

Hi there! I feel the same way every time. Try to remember you gained the weight slowly over 5 years and it's going to take time to loose it. Plus everyone is different. Some weeks you'll loose quickly and others you'll stall or gain depending on your cycle. It took me 2 years to loose nearly 40lbs the first time I started…

This has been my struggle for over a week! I reached a new LW (135 lbs) and the next day I was back up 3.5 lbs. I know it’s just water retention but I feel so frustrated. I’m hanging in there. There’s still 2 weeks left in this challenge!

Hi everyone, I’m back and looking for new friends. Feel free to add me! I’ve been in self-isolation since mid-March. I’ve been trying to look at this an opportunity to watch what I eat and replace my daily commute with a workout or run. I’m most likely going to be working from home for 3-6 more months and I need some…

It's probably water retention from the a high crab meal. It will go back down when you get back on track. Try focusing on the bigger picture (where you started at) and how keto has helped you achieve that progress to date. Good luck on recovering!

Welcome back and congrats on your baby girl. It sounds like you're experiencing keto flu... Did you cut your carbs really low the first couple of days? I started keto again this week too. I get really bad brain fog if I reduce my carbs too low, too fast and I need to be able to concentrate at work. My energy level and…

Great to hear you are getting better sleep without the supplements!

Congrats!

Eating too much protein kicks me out of ketosis. I try to go for a run to burn it off and get back into ketosis.
