I'll join the holiday exercise challenge. I have been exercising everyday for 42 days now as my personal goal of 97 in a row. Some days is just getting in steps but none the less I am focused on moving every day. So here is goes Name: Andrea Goal: Do something active daily and a 30 minute workout 3x a week plus weights…

@vmtdawn The concept of borrowing calories comes from weight watchers. While on weight watchers you are given a number of points and then additional points you can use a little each day or have like a cheat day. It isn't a bad concept but I am not sure how you do it with calories. May you can work on staying between 50 and…

@jessica91b17 I am also a bored eater and stressed eater. Although I don't always know when I am stressed. What I have been trying to do is keep healthy snack individually wrapped and with me at all times. Nuts in the car or pork rinds (I do keto) so no carbs or cheese etc.

Day 41 Weights at home. Day 42 I am planning on doing some walking while at the football game tonight.

I would say mine bad habit is pasta, bread and carbs. Since I started Keto I have done much better but I still slip and crave once in awhile. Now its just staying strong for the holidays.

Day 40 Swimming laps.

SW: 330 CW: 317 GW: 230 Down I think a pound maybe 2 from last weeks weigh in.

@rparkerslim I asked the exact same question in a private message to a friend on here. She said that you don't always show on the styx and not everyone experiences the keto flu. What I can say is I have lost 15lbs in about 2 weeks. Give her take. I may not quite be in ketosis but what I am doing is working. if you are…

Day 13 of keto. I have had a small relapse last week and it was totally my fault but I am down 12 pounds and overall find it very easy to follow.

I am 13 days in. I agree. Sometimes in the beginning beginning I struggled with the carbs but now I do pretty good. Last night the family had baked potato and I had cauliflower mashed. It is becoming second nature to make better choices. I do know that Thanksgiving will be a challenge but one I am ready for.

Absolutely @shubhangijain98. Okay so lets see I haven't done an actual workout since Day 34 I have walked steps everyday but have not been able to get to the pool and been getting in to late to do weights. Day 35 I did get over 10k steps as I walked at our local xmas show.

I keep my macros at 70-75% fat, 20-25% protein and 5% carbs. That is about 27grams of carbs a day but I weigh quite a bit. So far this is working for me. I am down about 10lbs in a week. I am still not sure I have hit ketosis yet based on the strips not changing and no keto flu but it is working so I am going with it. I…

Day 34 ended up being steps. Lots and Lots of steps. I treated myself to a manicure because that was my reward at 10lbs and then the grocery store. By the time I got home it was 10pm. My bed time so needless to say weights will be tonight.

I am so guilty of this. Mine is more when they don't finish that delicious stuff they have I feel the need to clean the plate. I learned in one of the books I read (MIndless EAting) this is attatched to when we were young and parents would tell you to clean you plate or else. Now I do it. Recently I have stopped cold…

Started Keto last week. Losing but don't think I have hit ketosis. The more the merrier though. You can all feel free to add me. @slimsazzle Keto is a process where your body learns to burn fat instead of carbs. It's call ketosis. The easiest and quickest way to explain it would be atkins only better and longer. Basically…

Name: Andrea Age: 41 height 5'9 Start Weight Mid October 330 Goal weight 200 Weigh in weeks: 10/18: 329 10/25: 332 11/01: 325 11/8: 320.2 I have cut back on my carbs.

Day 32 Swimming laps

Day 31 more walking. Day 32 weights. Burned 118 cal. Tomorrow pool again.

@canadjineh I agree. I am referring to more like mini meals. When I work a night which for me is 1 to 10 or 5 to 9 I snack more than eat a meal. I have picked up nuts (pecans), pork rinds, cheese, pepperoni and this aweso.e peanut butter made with coconut oil which is filling healthy and low carbs.

I had a relatively good weekend. Watch the last baseball tournament for my bonus son all weekend and still managed to make healthy eating choices. Didn't eat a lot yesterday and that was a bit of an issue but overall I did well.

I like the muscle milk idea and the nuts. I do the cheese and eggs. I am just concerned about the nuts being high in carbs. For example today I have had a 3 egg omlette with ham and cheese and used 7 carbs. Even the nuts they suggest have like 5. That seems like a lot when you are trying to stay under 20 net. Or is this to…

I've been a bit lazy. Day 29 and 30 walking

That is a huge victory. You should be very proud.

All good options. I do keep and I dilated lunch box I can't have that in court and I think that was my problem yesterday. As for nuts. I thought is those but some have higher carbs so I try to e picky.

Day 28 lifting weights

First day was a success. My total carb intake was 32g. I even lost some weight but I am sure that was from a few days (3lbs). Feeling good so far and no major cravings. I did get a little hangry yesterday but I hadn't packed any snacks. I have court all day so although I brought some snacks not sure I'll be able to eat…

I'm just gonna say this. Starting weight 330 got up to 332 TODAY I AM 325!!!!!!!

I know there have been a lot of posts on here and you should have a good idea of what you can have. I just started KETO but have been pinning keto related sites on pintrest for awhile. Anyway there is an article you can google that says how to order keto at starbucks. Today I had a cold latte with heavy cream sprinkly of…

@nvmomketo I did try the starbucks thing which added to my carbs but it will not be a habit. I never have drank coffee. I only drank hot chocolate or frappes from there. I tried it just to see if it was something I could have periodically to curb my sweet tooth but the espresso or whatever they use was way to much and it…
