Being consistent and creating new habits! Logged-yes! Calories-under Carbs-under Electrolytes-added extra salt to my food and taking magnesium as I write this before going to bed! Activity-more than 60 Water- 8 glasses No alcohol-yes

That happens to me almost every post

I won't be weighing in until next week... My scale is broken and I haven't got a new one yet. But I will take measurements every week on Mondays (I think)

Thanks for the in depth explaination! I am not diabetic, but since I am trying to get rid of fat, not store more....I'll stay away from the alcohol until I am at goal weight and on maintenance for a while

I'm a newbie (3 weeks) but I was told no booze. Alcohol has carbs and your body treats it differently....what gives?? I'm sooooo confused

Thanks for responding! After reading from others, I figured something like that was happening! I was just getting so discourage because I have heard so many successes and I didn't even lose water weight! Yesterday, I examined my diary a lot closer and realized my carbs were closer to 35-40 where I thought they were around…

I feel like I did great today! But I was hungry....never got satisfied. Logged-yes Calories- a little bit under Carbs- spot on- right at 20 Water-yes Sodium-I seem to be having trouble getting enough salt, so I added 1/2 tsp to my 1.5L bottle of water

Happy Wednesday! Today I pre planned, so we'll see how that goes! For Tuesday: Logged-yes Water-yes Calories -93 over Carbs-nope (40) gotta get them down to 20 Electrolytes-better Exercise-walked 20 min...but it was soooooo hot! Went slow and had to quit early. Sleep-woke up early to paint before it got too hot. Thanks for…

@slimzandra do well this week and have a good weigh-in on Friday!

Happy Tuesday! I'm still working on changing things up and tweaking things to make the WOE work for me

I'm cutting out all alcohol for the next 2weeks at least....maybe longer! I have also had lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, occasionally a tomato, bell peppers, zucchini....all are supposedly low carbs. I'm going to shoot to keep carbs below 30. Today I was over both carbs and calories but not much).........I had…

Yes. That's what someone else said....no alcohol

Most days I am under 20 carbs. I am not eating any sugars, no processed foods, except mayonnaise....I am dropping the calories to 1300 this week and no alcohol. Right now The only dairy I eat is full fat cheese, sour cream and heavy cream. No cottage cheese, no yogurt, no milk.....

I am eating no processed foods at all and only low carb veges when I eat them. The hard part is gaining the weight while being "under construction" and trusting that it will eventually heal......

That's a great idea.....and should help prevent feelings of deprivation.

I thought at least a couple of pounds in 3 weeks......I didn't even lose water weight, Lol! Okay I will stick with it and I am eliminating wine....at least for the time being

I'll have to listen to the podcasts. I didn't realize alcohol acted that way

Not quite every night, but pretty close! Ahhhh....I thought if I included the carb count in my totals, it would be okay. So, no more wine for a while

Thanks! That's a long time to wait before seeing any results. Especially when you hear of so many people that have such great results so rapidly. Will urine dip strips work? I cannot prick my finger! How do I find those hidden carbs? I try not to eat out much, but between rebuilding our home and visiting our retirement…

Thanks, I appreciate the input. I'm glad to hear your daughter responded so well. No, I hadn't measured at all. So, I did that today. I do not have any chronic illnesses or medical problems, other than menopause. I keep holding on to the fact that my body is going through internal changes that I cannot see, but need to…

Happy Monday! SW 192 GW 125 Height 5'3" Female age 57 I've been doing keto for 3 weeks. No change at all. No weight loss, no change in clothes/measurements. And I'm still tired (but functional) Honestly logged every day ( but not weighing my food) :smiley: Calories at 1400 Carbs between 25-35 Moderate protein High fat…

I wasn't counting my calories for the past 8-9 months. The last time I dieted was about a year ago....then stuff happened...quit counting calories or watching what I ate...so, I'm starting again....

No. But I'm doing that today. My clothes don't feel any different, though

Thanks! Okay. I made my diary public. I had 25-35 grams of carbs/ day 1400 cals......so I will change: In my macros, I lowered my calories to 1300, my carbs down to 5%. No wine this week....I really don't care for salt, but I'll try to find a way to increase my intake. And, I got a food scale, so I will measure to ensure…

Okay I'll go back to the launchpad. I did the keto calculators and it said 1400 calls for moderate weight loss....and I put in all the macros....I realized my original post was only part done, so I edited it to show more details.....

I don't know how to post my diary and I realized only part of my post was there, so I edited it to show the details......

I don't know how to post my diary...and I just realized only part of my original post was on the page, so I edited it......
