Started Keto: June 21 Starting Weight: 167.4 Sunday 08/26: 150.4 Goal Weight: 145 Sunday 09/02 Sunday 09/09 Sunday 09/16 Sunday 09/23 Sunday 09/30 My original goal was 150 at the end of August, so I don't know where to go now. LOL - I guess I'll try for 5 pounds a month! hahaha
-
Soooooo close to hitting my 150 goal by end of August, but honestly, I'm OK with where I end if this is where I end. When I started Keto two months ago, my hope was to get to 150 before my vacation on August 29th and now that it's almost here, I look at what I've achieved and I'm satisfied with it. I wasn't sure I'd…

LOL - my scale hates me. I gained this week - went up to 155! Then dropped down to 154.6 for my Friday weigh in (when I update my MFP weight). Then of course, Sunday comes around and I dropped to 152.2 and have been at that since. LOL My biggest struggle last week was water intake. I'm trying so hard but some days, I feel…
-
It did at first and then sometimes when I notice my fat intake to be higher than normal, it can become annoying. But my fat goal is not one I try to hit (just stay under) so I back off for a bit and I'm fine. I don't add oil to my coffee either - I've tried it - can't stand the taste of it. The sugary coffees I used to…
-
My husband is very aware because he's the main cook in the house. LOL - but I am doing it solo. He makes food for everyone and if I can eat it, great. If not, I find my own food. But he usually tries to keep it pretty Keto or make it so he'll just add a side of rice or something for everyone else. It works pretty well. He…
-
All of your food looks amazing!!! I'm on my computer so no food pics from me. But today was all about the avocado and chili :) (not together - LOL - though it might not be too bad)
-
NSV - my wedding ring is slipping off my finger now - even when I'm swollen :s :D Might be time to get it resized!!!
-
Aaaaaand, right back to 153.4 again. hahaha - that number has been cursing me ALL WEEK! But that's OK. I am almost positive it's from not drinking enough water. It's been a struggle for me this week to make sure to get my water in. I keep forgetting my big water bottle at home so I am not drinking as much at work. Plus I…
-
I haven't been logging lately so I would not be a good help either there. I have noticed an increase in energy, but not enough to fully work out yet. I have found I have the most energy when I'm getting enough water and protein. Usually if I'm having an off day, I notice I'm lacking one of those two things. If you've been…

That's interesting. My weigh-in day has always been Fridays, so I only record my weight Fridays (even if it's up) but then I log my Sunday weight here (not on MFP or my FitBit though). It's always interesting to see what others do. Congratulations on losing 40 pounds, @xDaniDragonflyx! That's amazing!
-
Since starting Keto, I've also started carrying snacks/food with me that are easy to grab and won't go bad. This would be my suggestion to help keep you on track as well. And increase your water intake, if you can. That will help flush out anything you don't want sticking around as well. I cheated a little when I was on…
-
I've been doing very little working out while Keto. I've been focusing on just making sure I'm eating properly and just go for long walks when I'm able. I understand feeling guilty about it, but I've lost without working out and when I do work out, I feel alright as well. Do what you can, when you can :)
-
I can't say I had a "whoosh" but I definitely lost a bit in the last week! And I continue to drop every morning. My goal was 150 by end of August and at first I thought that overly ambitious. I don't anymore, given that I'm within 3 pounds of it now! I was shocked, to be honest, when I weighed myself this morning. Holy…
-
Congratulations!
-
I have been told if you have fat to lose, you do not need to hit your fat goals. I try to hit mine, but it's not often I do. I have to really TRY for that goal (and that's the only one!). I can cut carbs from my life, sure, no problem. Protein? Got it in the bag. But dang it, that fat goal is hard to reach! I've stopped…
-
Sent you a friend request :) Though my diary (when I fill it out) probably won't help you as I'm pretty heavy on protein but most of my protein comes from red meat. *hugs* but I know of a lot of people who don't eat that and are very able to stay on Keto!
-
Great journey!
-
I drink coffee every morning :) I had to alter what I put in it, but I still drink it all the time. I order something different when I get it from a cafe now. I get an iced americano and ask for added heavy cream. most places have it. If they don't, I just ask for added half and half then. I am a "omg don't let me coffee…
-
My go-to snacks right now are Costco protein bars, hard-boiled eggs, and ham with cream cheese wrapped around a pickle :) I also found green olives stuffed with garlic at my local farmer's market, which is easy to pack and bring with me. Could easily be made at home as well!

Holy crap! A 1.6 pound drop overnight and a total 2.2 drop for the week! I should cheat more often. (Haha, just kidding!) I’m happy with where I’ve landed for July and have officially lost 10 pounds!!! Woohoo!!! Now on to August :) Great month, everyone!!
-
I hope to join a future one. Not that I don’t trust you or your crazy methods (hehe), but I have 1 month to go before a vacation that I’m scared I’d bomb just before. I have costumes to fit into! Ha! But I am intrigued and want to test it out for myself on a future one, when I don’t have something (other than health) at…

Hey hey! I’ve been doing keto for a month now. I lost a lot of water weight the first two weeks and then nothing for a couple of weeks, but my clothes kept getting looser. I’m starting to lose a little bit again, but definitely in small increments. And I’m ok with it as the inches are all that’s important for me! Hugs and…
-
This is super late because I was on a road trip with my kids but I recorded my weight down so I wouldn't forget to post about it here. HA! Accountability, right? Anyway - after recording my weight on 7/15, I suddenly gained 3 pounds overnight. YIKES! Dehydration and not eating the right foods. Staying low carb, but not…
-
*phew* Just got back from a 4 day vacation with my kids (two of the four days was a massive road trip) and had my first cheat while spending time with family. Funny thing is, I had a tiny bit of pie and omg felt so sick afterward! I regretted cheating. The next day, I did not regret the 4 Doritos or the 2 bites of my…
-
All the weight I lost was in the first 2 weeks and I lost 9 pounds. So yeah, it's definitely possible. Started at 167 lbs. But I definitely consider it all water weight. Because I've not lost a thing since (and I've actually gone up a little the last 2 weeks).
-
Beef is the meat of choice in my house as I don't like the taste of chicken (thank you pregnancy hormones that never corrected themselves out). So usually we eat a beef product of some sort. We did, however, just buy a costco thing of like 5 dozen eggs 2 weeks ago and half of it is now gone. I'm pretty much the only one…
-
My husband and I tried Keto about 2 years ago on a whim. I have been trying to control my weight pretty much my whole life...and not always in a healthy way. When I joined MFP back in 2011, I lost weight quick just from calorie deficit and exercise. I am not one of those who thrives on exercise though and I slowly started…
-
Weight didn't change by Sunday, I've been gaining/losing the same 0.2 pounds all week. I'm still feeling good in my clothes though :) I had my first "cheat", or what I consider a cheat anyway. I had a couple of mixed drinks. Not my normal ones (which all involve orange juice and flavored vodka or rum) but I found something…
-
Awesome! Thank you for the suggestions! I'll have to check into them. I haven't read those! I'm ALWAYS looking for suggestions. I devour audiobooks because I commute 5 hours a day. Definitely passes the time much quicker.
