My lab results are back, and my body is basically attacking my thyroid which in turn is causing all my hormones to be out of whack and causing me to feel extremely exhausted just minutes after waking up. This also slows down all the processes in my body, including my metabolism. I have a sensitivity to carbs and my doctor…

@chinatowninchina @NikkiJRM @eggfooyamyam @KnitOrMiss Thank you all SO MUCH for your kind and encouraging words! After my carb binge I did in fact lose 3 pounds :/ ...Not complaining! Just not sure what is going on in this body of mine :D ! I agree, I think I am going to ease out on the OMAD and incorporate a keto…

Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words! I am hanging in there and back to keto, one meal at a time! Massive hugs!

Hey everyone. I have been stuck in the 240s for months now. I am still doing keto and OMAD and I just gave up alcohol altogether even though I was only doing keto friendly drinks. I went to see my doctor and she thinks I have a bunch of issues with my thyroid, insulin (no diabetes), ovaries and she tested my testosterone…

Soooo...I did end up weighing myself after my Vegas trip and in 4 days...4 days!...I had gained 8 pounds. WTH!!! I was so mad! But thank God I lost all of it the same week. It's incredibly frustrating to be a slow loser and a Speedy Gonzales gainer.

I am in the same boat! I started back in January and have barely lost a full 10 pounds. I have a keto friendly drink a few times a week and I really think that this is holding me back. To make things worse my boyfriend is an amazing bartender and makes the most delicious cocktails (jalapeno margarita or keto chocolate…

Yay to March! I turned 30 last week (woohoo!) and my boyfriend took me to Vegas for 4 days. I really enjoyed it and decided to step out of keto for those days while sticking to OMAD to somewhat limit the damage, lol. I came back Friday and I was SO bloated! I could tell that there was a lot of water weight weighing me down…

I got really nice, long braids installed last week and now I am scared to weigh myself :D . I am going to measure them first, I am pretty sure they are at least a pound!

Sunday 02/04: 241.6 Sunday 02/11: 243.6 Sunday 02/18: 241.4 Sunday 02/25: 239.8 I am so happy I could cry! FINALLY broke through the 240s wall! God did that take forever! I spent February on Keto OMAD and it's been fantastic. It feels sooo good functioning all day with no hunger and knowing that I am using my long stored…

It looks like my body reaaaaaalllllllly wants to stay in the 40's! I am now doing OMAD as well and I feel really good so far. I burn about a pound of fat every two days, from what my scale tells me. I went out this weekend and had one too many mozzarella sticks. No regrets! I also suspect the Manhattan I ordered had sugar…

Thank you so much! I needed to hear that! Here's to a better week!

The wins I am going to talk about is how great I feel. No more mean, insane and painful hunger pangs. I go all day without feeling hungry. The only indicator that I need to eat is that acetone taste in my mouth. I consistently went 20+ hours with nothing but 300cal coffee+HWC as a breakfast. I wake up full of energy. I…

It's been really frustrating seeing the scale fluctuate up and down for weeks now...and mostly up. I am still on my TOM, going on week 5 now. I am bloated and feel awful. I have been keeping my carb intake low, I am limiting my keto-friendly drinks, I am doing OMAD, and yet here I am. I do feel better in my clothes, my…

Hi there! I did weight lifting a while back (I was in the gym 3 hours a day...yikes.) and building muscle while burning fat can be a bit frustrating because the scale doesn't really move down much. I'd say go with measurements and pictures to see progress. I love weightlifting and can't weight (

Congrats!!! Oh my, the 230s! I am so close to it I actually considered shaving my hair off to get rid of a couple of pounds! Lol. Hopefully I'll be there next weigh in.

I am SO in again! Round 2! Weight lost in January: 7.8lbs Sunday 02/04: Sunday 02/11: Sunday 02/18: Sunday 02/25:

01/28: 240.8 Still TOM but the scale is finally moving down again. This is also the most I've lost in a week so I guess this is the famous whoosh people talk about? @River_Goddess , you've inspired me a LOT this week; your macros are always on point, and that helped me stay on top of mine and I've had a great week. Thank…

I'd be glad to do that if you're still having issues :)

Same goal here!

Joanna SW&HW: 248.6 01/07: 245 01/14: 242.2 01/21: 244.8 01/28: Ugh. Still on my TOM, going on week 3 now :s . I feel pretty bloated and bummed to have gained weight. I am also not going #2...so maybe that's weighing on the scale too, lol! Here's to a better week, I guess :/

Late to the party! F/29/5"8 SW: 248.6 lbs GW: 180 lbs 1/7: 245 lbs 1/14: 242.2 lbs I did go down to 241 lbs but then shark week happened :| ... TMI: I haven't been on them for months. This is really interesting, I am almost sure that Keto did this as nothing else has changed in my lifestyle.

Mascarpone, heavy cream, sugar free chocolate syrup. Mix it all up. This is basically ice cream goodness level! Very rich and smooth. 1g net carb, 43.2g fat and 5.7g protein. Very satisfying and filling, but if you have food addiction issues then this might be too close to the real thing and cause triggers.

Keto Chocolate Mousse "Fat Bomb" ____________________________________ I was playing around in the kitchen and made an awesome chocolate dessert! Only 3 ingredients, about 5min prep time, and totally fat bomb status. -1 Belgioioso Mascarpone (the whole container, about 224g) -1.5 tbsp sugar free chocolate syrup (I can't…

Here is the Ceasar Salad dressing/dip recipe! 1 cup Hellman's mayo 1 cup freshly grated parmesan 80ml of olive oil 1 tbsp anchovy paste (you will not taste it at all, it only brings a savoury taste to it.) Zest of 1 lemon Juice of 1 lemon 2 tbsp balsamic wine vinegar 1 tsp black pepper Blend everything together until…

No, I take multi vitamins that are low in potassium, actually. I am trying to get it from my food but I am not quite sure where to start. What experience do you have with the supplements? Any product you'd reconmend?

Hi everyone, The past two days have been a bit rough. My heart rate is high. I can feel it, especially at night when I am in bed. My resting rate is 91bpm, and walking from one room to another gets it to 124bpm... I've read that this could be a sign of electrolyte deficiency, specifically potassium. Does any of you went…

Hi there! I was keto before, lost 30lbs+ then started a new medication that made me gain a lot of weight over the past year. I am back at it now. I log in every meal and snack, my alcoholic drinks are *always* 0 carbs and 0 sugar so I usually don't log those. I homecook a lot and always register recipes that work for me.

Hi everyone! Not sure if recipes are allowed in this group. I just made the most fantastic Ceasar Salad dressing/dip. The macros per tablespoon are as follows: Fat: 10g Carbs: 0g Protein: 3g If any of you is interested I'll type down the recipe and send it :) !

Here are my stats: F/29yo/5"8 SW: 248.6 CW: 245 GW: 180 Super pumped to be part of this active and supportive group!

I thought I had introduced myself but I can't find my original post and my app was bugging so maybe it didn't go through. I was keto before and lost 30lbs+. But I started a new medication and gained a lot of weight since then. I also fell in love with this guy who is an AMAZING cook so...yeah. Eating was/is fun
