Just started today. I’ve tried before but. It sure I ever made it past two weeks.

Me please!

Just had my cholesterol checked... ldl is high :( never had high cholesterol before. I wonder if it's from doing low carb high fat? Anyone else have cholesterol go up? My doc wants me to do a lower fat diet :/ I'm so discouraged. I think she wants me to eat low fat for 6 weeks and then recheck...so I'm gonna try to do…

So discouraged. Been back on plan for a week now and myvweight won't drop. In fact, it went up half a pound . I've even been fasting from 6:30!pm-8:30 am....nothing. I'm wondering if I need to drop my cals again ...or try to drop carbs more. Ugh. I feel like this happens with every single diet. I have a couple of good…

Well, my weight did drop a little today but still not as low as my lowest was two weeks ago...I did finally remember to take measurements last weekend and this one and i dropped 2 1/2 inches in that week, so who knows how many indropped all 4 weeks. 3.8 lbs down in the challenge. Thanks everyone! Good jumpstart for me.

Ugh. Been doing really well this week but my weight went up again. Discouraging:(

Thankful for this group! Happy to say I've been back on track since Tuesday after a week and a half of lower carb, but not low enough. Lol. Worked out for the first time last night in months :) I have to be prepared with snacks...keto cheddar chips, fatbombs turkey pepperoni, etc..to keep me on track .

Having a hard time this week. Weight is up about 2 lbs...haven't been sticking to my 50 grams...been closer to 100 several days. Need to get back on the wagon!

Hi everyone. Death in the family this week so I've been a little MIA. Mostly on plan tho...sticking to my macros. Didn't t eat much today..fat sodium and calories are all low, and tonight my weight is up a bit from yesterday. (It's also TOM.) funeral is Monday and I know there will be lots of temptations after when the fam…

I still don't understand how to get in all my cals and not have high protein. Most of the "fat" I eat is still protein

Wow @Seajolly ! Way to go!!!! (Can I admit I'm jealous? Lol)

Oops. Supposed to say I made the big ones in a muffin top pan...the diameter is about twice that of the regular muffin pan.

Oops. Recipe: 1/4 cup egg whites (or the whites from 3 eggs) Garlic salt or seasoning of choice TBSP water Shredded cheddar cheese (about 3-4 TBSP) Mix egg white, water and seasoning until a bit frothy. Pour just enough to cover bottom of muffin tins. (You want it to be a very thin layer.) then sprinkle with cheese. Cook…

I absolutely love the cheese and egg white crisp. Pop them in a bag with ice pack to keep them good. They satisfy my chip cravings!

Down 4.4 my first week :) This up and down every day is rough emotionally tho! Gonna work on water and exercise this week and I may try dairy free or at least less bc I'm in a lot of pain with my joints. Not sure if it's related but worth a shot.

I'm m not sure. For weeks the main dairy I had was half and half in my coffee. This week I've had a lot of cheese...cream, cheddar, Parmesan...

Lost half my post.... I did so well at my conference...resisted carbs left and right....came home and my teen gave me a hard time and I gave in :( so discouraged. Gonna try to fast till breakfast tomorrow now but not sure I'll make it...what are good options if I can't make it that long? (I'm 15 g over in carbs

Ugh. Let my emotions get the better of me and had a bagel .

Per Mary's question: I have two things...water and exercise . Food has been on plan! Haven't cheated (not even a bite of the food I. Make for the kids) which is big for me.

Ugh. Been playing with the same lb the past 3 days. Tomorrow is 1 week for me and I'm fluctuating between 3 and 4 lbs down :/

@KnitOrMiss you most definitely look younger now!!! Do you eat dairy? I know many find that inflammatory

So, lots of potential for messing up over the next three days... 1) I am an emotional eater and I have two family members in the hospital ...1 dying and 1 had a massive stroke and we don't know the prognosis yet. 2) I'm attending a women's conference at my church...signed up for it weeks ago and they are going to have food…

Wow @KnitOrMiss ! You look so much healthier now! Those pics were about the same weight?!

Lost the pound I gained. Now down 4 lbs since starting Sunday. Cals we're actually a little higher yesterday but I was also more active. How many of you weigh daily? Once a week? What are your thoughts on that?

Thanks!

So, I've noticed my protein is always higher than fat... anywhere from 5 g to 20 g more. Is that a problem?

I would ask. My mom almost died bc of undiagnosed thyroid issues and I suffered with thyroid symptoms for years but bc the only test they did was TsH and that was normal, i was undiagnosed.

You may want to have them check you thyroid antibodies. I have Hashimotos, which is an autoimmune thyroid disease. Apparently, the thyroid function can swing dramatically with that.

@fanncy0626 : yeah, that is something I struggle with, but I'm not sure that it was any different yesterday . Thanks for the reminder tho ;)

Hi! New to keto/low carb...well, this time around I'm new. Lol. Have tried several times over the years (specifically Atkins and SBD). I started Sunday, was down 4.2 by yesterday but up a pound this morning :( I'm breastfeeding so aiming for 50 net carbs . Food choices have been good so far, I just don't want to get…
