Just completed W5D1 last night. It scared me but I did it!! I had to talk myself through it by repeating "DO NOT PSYCH YOURSELF OUT!! YOU CAN DO THIS!" in my head..lol. Sounds silly but my internal pep talks work. Tomorrow is a whole other ball of wax though! Yikes!!!! 8 minutes!! I am going to need to start increasing the…

Just completed W4 D1 last night. It was definitely rough but I did it! My legs are tired today..lol. I just really wish that the side effect of this running was weight loss! So far...nothing :(

Awesome post and great advice in there!! Congrats on the milestone!

In! Need all the support and challenges I can get! lol Name: Kelly Age: 38 (39 on Saturday..ugh!!)

Ughh!! I assumed I was just coming down with something but was hoping someone would say, Oh yes! That's common with Keto flu! lol Blech!!!

Thank you Dan so much for your post. I see your point about the buffer and that really is a good idea!! I have been struggling with the number in my head. When I was doing your run of the mill CICO I was eating 1200 a day and going up to 1600 and some days more recently had me a little worried. I think I am going to keep…

The calories that I have set in MFP are the daily cal. intake suggest by http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/. I will try playing around with it a little bit.

I understand what you are saying, but from my point of view steadily declining weight numbers are more motivating than constantly remaining or climbing numbers. It's not a race but if this WOE isn't going to work for me to lose weight and maintain my goal weight then there is no sense in following this lifestyle. This was…

This is the craziest scale roller coaster ever!!! I hop on the scale this morning just for the heck of it and today it's 2 lbs. lighter than yesterdays reading. I believe the scale is engaging in some type of slow torture to ultimately drive me insande!! lol

Thank you @cdn_beaver! I'm so glad to have everyone's perspective!

@JPW1990 good things to know and consider! I @kikor using http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ , my calculations are based on a 20% deficit..if that's what you mean.

This is very true @KnitOrMiss!!!!

Thank you very much for replying! I just needed some reassurance that what's happening is somewhat normal and not me royally screwing everything up! lol I have been fighting the weight loss battle since May of 2013 and have gone up and done (on a reg. Calories In/Calories out regimen) and working out before completely…

Thank you for the ideas and for the info. I actually have been trying to do a little tweaking by only having my coffee with cream in the morning and skipping breakfast. But the afternoon snack gets to me.. lol I have known for a while that i need to cut back on the snacking when I look at my log. :(

I just came in here looking for this exact topic. I am nearing end of week three (or is it 4? I cant remember! lol). The first week I did no exercise and lost 7 lbs. I understand mostly water weight. The next week I lost 3 lbs. Again hardly any exercising at all. Week 3... 1.4 lbs. lost. Exercising more and gained back 2…

Thank you, DAMS5412. I will look this over! :)

I thought I was doing okay with cravings until yesterday. I am not sure what happened but I could not keep it in check. I was able to fight off the urge to plow into a bacon pizza that my husband and kids brought home but later on as the day went on I found myself grabbing Chips Ahoy cookies and before I knew it the end of…

I found a sugar free BBQ sauce in my local Shoprite grocery store. It's called G Hughes Sugar Free BBQ Sauce. It does have artificial sweetener in the ingredients, but it has 2 g. carb per serving. It's pretty tasty.

Hi Everyone - I am Kelly from Connecticut. I am a wife and mother of three ranging in ages from 20-5. I work outside my home full time and have a desk job sitting on my expanding backside 8 hrs a day. Over the last year and a half I managed to lose 40 lbs. counting calories and working out 5 days a week. Then Summer came…

Awesome!! thanks for the encouraging words! Well, i ORIGINALLY started at 215 lbs. Lost 40 lbs by counting calories but not restricting carbs at all but gained 17 lb. back over the Fall and beginning of Winter because I THOUGHT i was too busy to bother anymore with my daughters busy activities. I have decided that I am…

Awesome! Thanks radiii and baconslave. I have used this site also for the calculator and with 25g carbs, 90 protein and 136 fat it came out to 1680 calories. I am trying to ignore the calories for now somewhat without going hog wild! :) P.S. 76lbs in 8 months!!! That's friggen awesome!!!!!

Thank you for the replies and for the advice! I will definitely take it to heart and will try not to fret! :)DittoDan, I too am a carboholic and additionally a sometimes binge eater! Two cookies isn't enough for me. I need half the row of cookies in the package at least. UGH!! Strawmama, I thought I had read on a blog…

I am on day 3 right now. A little foggy headed, a little out of it. Hoping for big success. Please feel free to add me as a friend also! I can use all the support and motivation I can get from others stories!!

Looking for KETO buddies as well. Beginning my Keto journey on Sunday (my grocery shopping day!) Feeling motivated!! :)

I have been reading up on Keto lifestyle recently as well and have decided that this is for me! I currently weigh 194lbs. am 5'3" and have a lot of weight to lose. My goal is 145 if I can get there! :) I had been doing really well when I started my weight loss effort but then Summer and childrens activities took over my…

Feeling totally inspired and motivated to keep my head in the game after looking at everyone's before and afters!! I've lost 35 lbs. so far. It's been a slow process (16 months) and I have another 30 or so to go. The Summer was rough for me and I almost completely threw in the towel, but I am feeling better and better…

Hi! I started my weight loss back in May at 215 lbs. (i am 5 feet 3 inches tall). After falling off the wagon for a bit between Thanksgiving and New years, I am at 19 lbs. lost. (I WAS at 25 but gained some back during this time). The first stage of my goal is to lose 30 lbs. and to reevaluate how much more I want to lose…
