SW'17: 368 GW: 194 - 225 Dec goal: 265 (or lower)…I hit 260s several times during the week last month (only once on a record keeping day), but kept creeping up. I am hoping to have a net loss of at least 5 lbs (the net loss of 1 lb in Nov is rather underwhelming and depressing) Monday 12/03: 270.4 Monday 12/10 Monday 12/17…

sweet; thank you, sir

sweet; thank you, ma'am!

@Wifett3 & @CentaurusSoter do you cook the broccoli/cauliflower prior to putting it in the blender/food processor or do it raw and then cook it?

SW (10'13): 388 (lost 133 lbs by 10'14) SW (10'18): 368 GW 194 - 225 (not sure what I can be healthy and maintain at on keto) Nov GW: 265 (lazy? probably; reachable? maybe. too many goodies this month. and will be awkward to not eat all the pie that i will be making…though i may make my own pie crust this year to see if i…

@PaulaKro not at all an odd NSV; i think that is an awesome & appropriate one (at least as much as i can being the wrong gender to fully appreciate the intricacies). congrats! @CentaurusSoter that is an amazing victory. not to mention a wicked fast & hard workout.

@cheermom49 are you worried about cheese intake for the fat? or because all your calories will go to that rather than other foods? hope it goes well for you
-
@sbryanthc sorry you couldn't sleep; i agree on not wanting to quit. i didn't realize just how quickly the negative impact of eating so many carbs at a time would hit me. i have done over the 20-25g I have been averaging in the evenings a couple times for special occasions. but an all-out-carb-pre-keto style, that was the…

while i am glad i do not have some of the issues others have described, i think i have found what happens when i go carb crazy (at least at night): GERD/heart burn. i haven't felt that bad in a long time…at least i made it through thanksgiving without that. i know what happened and not sure how i am going to avoid it going…

thank you, @qweck3
-
@qweck3 is the cauliflower something you cook/warm up or eat raw? I'll add myself to the breadless sandwich group with mustard to give it a little kick.
-
@xDaniDragonflyx that sounds like a great goal (especially after how you felt about eating, and more importantly enjoying, Thanksgiving dinner)
-
@CentaurusSoter LOL (on the animal, though it would be pretty cool. other than the fear factor). i agree on the hunger control and just being able to work. i think i am very blessed that i haven't (yet) had inflammation issues from my weight @nvmomketo thank you for being willing to share. those sound like good reasons to…
-
thank you for the tip, @CentaurusSoter! I will try that at Christmas @qweck3 sweet!!! that is very awesome (sorry to hear about the catch-22 success at the theme parks…but glad to hear the end is in sight)
-
I adjusted a family recipe to be keto-friendly and using a coconut flour pie crust (4 net carbs, including the crust) . and it almost worked!…which i will take as a win since this is the first recipe i have tried to adjust on a 1:1 basis (rather than finding ones that others have made). i now know that using 100% dark…
-
@nvmomketo if you don't mind, disturbing because of other things going on at that time? or because you felt/feel more on the ball/on top of things and it was scary because of the unexpected difference?
-
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all enjoy the food you eat, especially if you choose to partake of all the non-keto goodies. I am going to have multiple splurges and wish the same to you :)
-
Thank you, @sykin. same to you!
-
@xDaniDragonflyx sweet!
-
@CarolynRSB good luck! hope they all go well! @chinatowninchina good luck to you & hope all goes well!

Another option, that while not as pleasing as numbers dropping on the scale, is profile pics once or twice a month. i can't tell a difference in my appearance, but when I look at the profile pics (idea stolen from others), I can see a difference. I can also fit in pants sizes I haven't for 20+ years (depending on the…

@chinatowninchina hope the visit goes well. and enjoy the food :) @larkspur94 Yup. Absolutely; there are pies that I make once or twice a year (Thanksgiving & Christmas). Will I make the usual 2 - 4 for each holiday? Probably not; but I will still make and eat one per holiday.

@nvmomketo if it makes you feel better, you are not the only one in that boat. my 14-year-old is in size 13 (and still growing)
-
How, and if, you use net carbs is up to you. Same for using a custom food or not
-
@Gaynze you are welcome i would not change it until at least another 10 lbs. based on feedback from others that i have seen, the first round off is misleading and changing at this point could set yourself up for failure. as with all things weight, YMMV; you may want to try it and see if it works for you
-
when you say "recommended fat intake" are you referring to hitting what the macros tell you to get as your upper limit? or are you referring to a minimal value? fat & carbs are max; protein is a desired minimum (hard to hit sometimes). at least that is how i have been suggested to look at it (YMMV)
