I'm restarting too! Good Luck

I haven't been doing paleo long (5 months) and have taken a couple of breaks, mostly due to vacations or spending time at my in-laws. I notice a couple of things when I do, my energy decreases and my insulin resistance increases. I feel better when I am eating paleo/primal, but it is not always practical.

Week 1: 275 Week 2: 272 Week 3: 271.6 Week 4: 271 Week 5: 271 Week 6: 278.6 (bad week at the in-laws) Week 7: 265.4 I have not posted here a couple weeks Week 11: 262.8 down 12.2 lbs

Including the weight I lost before mfp, I am at a small 2 year old! I am 2 lbs away from 10% of my body weight and super excited!!!

Week 1: 275 Week 2: 272 Week 3: 271.6 Week 4: 271 Week 5: 271 Week 6: 278.6 (bad week at the in-laws) Week 7: 265.4 I'm pretty excited that the scale is moving again, and I am 10 lbs down. 15 lbs by 8/15 is totally doable!

Week 1: 275 Week 2: 272 Week 3: 271.6 Week 4: 271 Week 5: 271 Week 6: 278.6 (bad week at the in-laws)

My favorite are smoked chops I get at my farmers market. I heat on the grill, nothing else is needed.

Favorite breakfast: 4 ounces of cauliflower, chopped into small, hashbrown size pieces 1-2 Tbsp bacon fat 2 pieces bacon 2 eggs Cook the cauliflower in the bacon fat about 8 minutes, until tender. Place cauliflower on a plate, cook 2 eggs in pan (I do over-easy) and put on top of cauliflower. Add 2 pieces of bacon crumbled…

I will do my best.

Week 1: 275 Week 2: 272 Week 3: 271.6 Week 4: 271

Bacon and butter. Those 2 items make me feel like I am not on a diet most of the time.

Week 1: 275 Week 2: 272 Week 3: 271.6 Still a loss, but I had a frusterating weekend, with far to much junk.

I have been looking for a good pizza substitute. I don't really mind substituations for everything else keto, but the pizza gets me. I tried cauliflower, baking pepperoni and topping with other toppings, and baking cheese plain then adding toppings. Mother's day I planned a higher carb day and did a tapioca and coconut…

I have noticed that my fasting sugars go from 110s to 140s at that time of the month. It usually goes up for about 3 days around ovulation, and about 2 days before and the first few days of my period.

Week 1- 275 Week 2- 272

I did get an extra 15 minutes 3 times this week. It did not go the way I had planned, but I made it work.

I gained a couple this week 278.6. For my 15 lb goal I'm going to use last week's weight of 275.8, because I'm pretty puffy this week.

I will add in an extra 15 minutes 3 times a week. For those that don't know me, I work 12 night shifts. I do pretty good working out on my days off, but have a hard time motivating myself on work nights. I can do 15 minutes though!

I have made a few different "fat bombs". I use coconut oil as a base, then add in whatever the recipe calls for. Carb count varies from 0 gm to 8 gm, depending on what else goes in. The bigger ones I sometimes eat instead of a meal.

Hi. I'm Melissa. I am 37 years old. I have an almost 6 year old daughter and a 4 year old son. I am an ICU RN and work 12 hour night shifts. I have been big my whole life and am committed to losing the weight this time. I am doing a paleo diet and am currently in ketosis. I am 5'4". SW was 289 lbs. CW is 278.2 lbs. I made…

I work night shift too. I don't take metformin, so I can't address that concern. My question for you is how many nights a week are you working? On your nights off what time are you taking your metormin? What are your blood sugars before bed? For myself my fasting number will vary in a range. My endo's goal is 100-140 for…

Thanks for the answers. I know alcohol is not good for weight loss, but sometimes I like to enjoy a few drinks anyway. I am going to start a multi-vitamin with iron, I have been low in my micros consistently.

I am looking for Keto friends too, if anyone wants to add me.

I love eggs and eat those most days. I pre-made an egg bake (paleo) and keep it in my freezer for days I need something quick. I love eggs scrambled with spinach, mushrooms, peppers, and onions. Breakfast is one of my favorite things about paleo!

I have the same fear. I have decided that my new goal is to lose enough weight to have excess skin. When that happens I will get it removed. I know there is no way my skin will look "normal" after my weight loss and have decided that having a small procedure (even paid for out of pocket) is better than being fat.

I swear the only place I have lost anything is in my boobs too! I hate it!!!

I do shop at Costco. Their prices on coconut is half of the cheapest I have found anywhere else. I also like to buy produce there because I do my best to not let anything go bad and I am going to finish that pound of spinach instead of cheating with something else.

I just joined and would love to have supportive friends. I made an initial weight loss goal of 100 lbs, but should probably lose more than that.
