Lucky! :)

Not sure if it's related, but I didn't have any diet drinks yesterday and weighed in again today and was 1 pound down. Probably pure coincidence but it's enough to keep me on track for now.

I've seen that before @coloradoartstudio and I'm sure there is truth to it. I never worried too much because I would just have one soda per day, but I really do crave it when I don't have it. :(

I'm going to stop Coke Zero and my even higher addiction to Crystal Lite. At first when I started doing LCHF, it didn't seem to affect weight loss, but now that I am within 10 pounds of my goal, I haven't seen any weight change in 3 months. Maybe this is the key. I know it's not good for me anyway...

I don't care for it either.

I've been doing the same thing. I believe it's a combo of too much HWC and too much sweetener which starts my day with little slip ups here and there...candy corn, crackers etc.

I've never heard of fat being double the protein. I agree with kpk54. Calories are still going to matter for me too.

I think your experience is pretty typical. I dropped scale weight quickly at first and now I have seen little to no movement for a while, although as others have said, body measurements are still changing. And look at the big picture...you HAVE lost weight since June and over the time frame, it HAS been successful. Keep at…

That's great! Congrats!

When you no longer feel the need to justify and explain every choice you make about what you eat. I've become much less talkative about how I eat with others. Just got so sick of the same old conversations over and over!

Welcome back! :) You can friend me if you like. I'm moderately active here. I don't visit the forums that often though.

I do decaf coffee with heavy whipping cream and a little sugar free vanilla creamer in the evenings. I leave myself enough carbs for that. I also have chocolate peanut butter fat bombs most days and occasionally a sugar free cheesecake type dessert. This might be slowing down my weight loss, but I am still losing and I…

Sorry to hear that! I went thru an appendectomy several weeks ago and had the same experience with the weight gain. I didn't step on the scale for almost two weeks because I knew it be frustrating, but by week 3, I was back to where I was before surgery.

I did it that way when I was drinking BPC. I don't like the taste of the coconut oil in it, so I just use HWC now and don't need to blend. But yes, my blender was just fine.

I have a bite when my family is eating dessert and I just can't stand it. But usually that's enough for me because I've had the after effects of really overdoing it on carbs when I've been low carbing for so long, and they are not fun. Some people can't get away with just a bite, but it seems to work for me and makes me…

A 2-year-old. :)

In the beginning, 2 pounds per week. Now it averages out to 5 pounds per month. Sometimes nothing per month, then the scale catches up. There is no rhyme or reason to it.

Yup I am 10-15 pounds within my goal weight and the loss has decreased dramatically. I'd say 10 pounds is really close to goal for you, so expect it to be slow going from here on out. I looked back at my progress and noticed that after an initial quick loss on keto, I've slowed down to 2.5 pounds loss per month. And…

When this happens to me, I ask for a small slice and then eat a couple of bites. The fear of the big bloat the next day is usually enough to keep me from indulging too much. If I refuse it altogether, I have to explain explain explain and I get tired of that.

So exactly right there too. It seems like when I notice no change on the scale for a couple weeks, that's when I notice changes in my body. I had recently bought the next size down in shorts and now they are loose. So I tried on my daughter's and they were tight but I could get them on. I feel like there's something about…

:smile:

If you believe this way of eating is healthiest, then support her efforts based solely on that fact. My son and both my daughters don't need to lose weight, as a matter of fact I was sure my oldest daughter would gain weight on Keto because it's the best way to eat for health and that's exactly what happened. But I have…

The only thing I can figure is that I put sedentary the first time I did it, just to make sure I wasn't over-calculating. I'm not sedentary at all as a mom of 3, babysitting 2 more little ones, working out maybe 2x a week (really need to improve there). So maybe that's the change, but it seems awfully skewed.

OP, my 14 year old daughter just asked me yesterday if she could do LCHF since she's seen my success so far. She is not super overweight, but she is a little. I am very hesitant to encourage her in this for some reason. As a teen, I had a terrible time with binge/purge habits and I'm scared to death that any talk of…

Here's my NSV today. My BP is 118/66. Normally it runs in the borderline high range. :) :) :)

Net carbs 20-35

Yeah mine is still acting crazy. Today it gave me a heavier weight, then a lighter weight, then back to the heavier weight. I always go with the heavier one. It's a Taylor and less than a year old.

Haha! I wish I could be that low key about the scale...

Yes I have to pull mine away from the wall too, so maybe that's it. Adidas rent, that's a new one! Haha! :)

Those are both too funny!
