Barely 2 full weeks into keto and over 7lbs down. I'm always looking at recipes :)

Keto here too, happy to help support or join with others if they would like it :) I'm about 2 solid weeks into it so far and also learning and getting better at it.

Congrats! I always notice much more consistency when I weigh at least 80% of my intake.

Curious....very curious....

Around 3000 :) That's the equiv. of two whole days of food for me! Gonna have to be a good girl the next week or so to get back on track.

My Ideal Fridge/Freezer/Pantry Staple list (I usually have at least half of this list around) Chicken (all kinds work, breasts, tenderloins, rib meat, thighs, etc) Bacon Occasionally Beef or Veggie Burgers Yogurt Avocados Tuna Eggs Cottage Cheese Egg Beaters Cheese (2-3 types, I love cheese) Wheat Bread Lettuce Spinach…

I lose on 1500 cals daily and maintain on roughly 2000-2200. I'm heavy on the muscle in my butt and thighs/legs from horseback riding and farmwork, so I guess it helps me burn a little extra here and there. Info: 5'1", 27 years old, lightly active, deskjob + exercise a few times a week and various random activities related…

I count my avocados at around 280-320, depending on 'average' or a bit larger. sounds right to me :)

...

Doesn't really matter, as long as they're active enough to enjoy some hobbies/activities with me. :)

Usually 1500 on non-exercise days, closer to 1700 on exercise days. 5'1", 27 y/o. Losing roughly .7-1lb a week on average. Would like to get to 120-125 ultimately.

I weigh every day sometimes, other times I forget and only weigh every 3-4 days. On very busy weeks it might only be once per week. I record the overall lowest weight of the week and let the other days just be a guide and to keep me alert about my water intake, sodium intake, etc. There's too many natural fluctuations to…

I always had a seemingly-set-weight of about 125-130, didn't gain a pound over that in my whole life until I got beyond 24 y/o. Trying to get back to there for the long run :)

I work sugar into my calorie goals usually when I want some. 3 squares of chocolate, a klondike bar, protein bars (that taste good), fiber one brownies, etc. I go a little crazy with chocolate sometimes, I'm not perfect, but they don't usually ruin my day/week of hitting my goals.

I get this too occasionally. Emotional, hormonal, something like that. I've also found myself terribly "down" feeling and crying after sex. Not in a bad way, and not with the other person still in the room (that would be mortifying) - just a strange overwhelming feeling hits me 10-30 minutes later, even when it was a…

I lose on 1500 a day pretty easily and steadily, sometimes I go over and it's closer to 1600-1700, still losing. I believe the starvation mode myth is just that - a myth. I used to have a fairly severe eating disorder, I ate 600-800 on a good day and often quite a bit less than that. I lost weight easily (and badly -…

I would weigh it, at least the majority of it. It's going to get harder to lose weight the closer you get to your goal and you'll need to be able to tighten up your calories and be as accurate as possible to get all the way there (usually). It can't hurt to get into the habit sooner rather than later.

Having a Drink

Does this dish need more cowbell to you?

2-3 meals a day + snack or dessert depending on how I feel.

These type of threads always end up way worse than the average thread with a few trolls/jokers here and there. It only increases the exact issue they complain about in the first place. Thanks, OP. :P

A light, late breakfast, medium lunch (sometimes no lunch) and usually medium dinner. A big meal for breakfast literally makes me puke, my body can't handle large amounts of food after waking up.

Nutrients will get screwed up if it's an alcoholic/frequent drinking situation. For a normal social drinker/occasional drinker, not so much.

Sorta been here. I dated a guy (honestly a couple guys, but one that was really bad) that ate a ton of crap and being around him, going on dates, hanging out, definitely led me into eating bad things I normally never touched. I had to turn things around, just for myself and didn't try to suggest or force him into changing…

Boobs.

Food Scale. Cook your own food as much as possible. Weigh as much of your food as you possibly can. Log it. Get out and move around, or move around inside if that's not a workable option just yet. Even walking is a big help, especially early on while you get used to everything. You can do it. :)

Always on! And during the day is even better ;)

A bit harder, I crave worse foods, but when I keep the junk out of the house, I make it through. If I make the mistake of buying candy, etc, a week beforehand (without realizing it usually) I have to keep my self-control a little tighter until the wave passes.

Snake oil is also a delicious alternative ;) Your wallet slims down dramatically after a few weeks!

Back away from the scale. Weigh at the same time every day, or even better - Weigh once or twice a week. I get discouraged in a tiny part of myself when I weigh every single day, even worse when at random times, because there are natural and frequent fluctuations, even just depending on how hydrated I've been for several…
