Still Stuck... Wrongdoings?
Started this WOE in August 2016. Found real success. Lost about 45 pounds, and lab numbers improved. Well. I am 5 feet 8 inches. I walk about 10,000 - 12,000 steps a day at work. I have been stuck at 220 pounds for awhile now. I am on the biggest loser contest here at work. But that isn't the deal I am struggling with. I…

Too Much Fasting... Not Enough Fat Etc.
Been awhile since I been on here. I have kept almost all of weight loss weight off for a year. Cheated some and then the trip to Mexico totally blew it out the water. Still, only really gained 6 pounds. Returned home, back on track,lost the 6 pounds, and started the biggest loser contest again. We are on teams this year…

Not Scared Anymore. In A Bad Way. Help
Started keto last August and had huge success. Went from almost 260 down to 213. Last two months or so have not been good. At first on keto I was scared to death of carbs, rice, pasta, chips, pizza crust and other crap. Over the last two months I have not been scared. Sushi, pizza here or there. Bread from outback. Back up…

Carbs Causing Pains? One Goal Met
Okay so I met one goal of 215 pounds. Down from 260. But I will say I have cheated some over the last month. I was sick with some respiratory stuff and the flu. I ate pho a few times to open me up. I have had some sushi wrapped in rice here and there. I have been doing really good without cheating. Question is my upper…

I am Still Here... Help Though
I have been on here for quite awhile now. I still love this way of eating. I was so hardcore at the beginning (first 4 months). I still am to a certain degree. In August of 2016, I weighed 256 pounds. Now, I weigh 218 pounds. I had my labs done in November, and they came out great. The last month or two has been trying. I…

New Discovery. Questions. Coconut Milk
I love heavy cream. I mean love it to the point of getting a container of heavy cream tattoo. Okay maybe not that far. I just tried some coconut milk in my morning shake, and it was good. Really good. Dairy is not an issue for me, but just wondering, is one better than the other? Heavy cream vs. coconut milk? One have more…

Still Here... Holidays Didn't Get Me
Been reading even though I haven't posted much. Keto is still going great. Didn't gain any over the holidays. I did cheat here or there. I will admit that. With a 30-35 pound weight loss since late August and definitely looser jeans and smaller dress shirts and new holes in my belts, I am stuck at 223 pounds. Any new ideas…

So Disgusted & Disappointed With Myself... Pick Me Up
So the first day of Christmas break started with a party for my 6th graders yesterday. Tons of chips and snacks and cakes and donut holes. Drinks also. I ate one donut hole. Drank water totally. Me and a coworker go out to eat for an early supper. I did good. Seared ahi tuna, veggies and asparagus. I had a bourbon and…

Semi Pulsating Temples.. What Is It
Okay had two drinks last night. Just bourbon water and ice. Not much bourbon in either one. Had a great skirt steak with double veggies. Watched a movie in bed this morning. Felt fine just a little tired. Washing dishes I felt a few pulses and pains in my right temple. As I am sitting typing this, none of that is…

Exercise Type For More Losses???
Okay so I need to start exercising. I have lost those 36 pounds with mainly walking at work and hardly ever sitting in my class when I teach. Pounds are staying put now, and I still need to be more fit. So, heavy weights or HIIT? I have seen some posts on other sites with pics where folks say they are lifting heavy and…

Dang Dang Christmas Cookies!!!!
Okay so we all decorated Christmas cookies. The good news, I didn't eat any icing. The bad news is I ate two sugar cookies. Small but I swore I was not going to do this. They were totally homemade. Wife is a scratch made cooking person. So what is the damage done? Do I fast to get back on track? Is it just the type of deal…

Well, Gaining Slowly Like I Lost It At The End... Why???
Okay, a big hello to everyone. Hadn't been on here in awhile. I am still doing good as far as the WOE goes. The only thing I am not sure what is going on. I know you all say don't go by the scale. But we do have "Weigh In Wednesday" here. I know we don't constantly watch it. Towards the end of my 35 pound loss, I was…

Tell Me More 16/8 Fast & Questions
So I have read a little about this 16/8 fasting. Or at least I think that is what it is. One person says they eat from 11 am until 7 pm. Question 1.": Does that mean that you consume all your calories/food in that time frame? I am a calorie counter. It keeps me honest and in check. Question 2: If I decide to go this route,…

Skipping Meals... Eating Enough, Etc.
Okay, some folks on here say watch out you need to eat enough. Not necessarily the starvation mode thing, but you just need to. A lot of you say that you skip breakfast or skip lunch and that you are hardly ever hungry. I am noticing that a bit these last few days. I am skipping lunch right now. But what about getting at…

Fat Adapted? Not Sure... But Gained Some
Okay I didn't eat breakfast much last week. I wasn't hungry due to cold or whatever it was. So, was I starving by lunch each day? Nope. So, I kinda liked it that way.

That Cold& Not Eating... How Bad?
Okay how bad is this? That little cold/sinus thing that hit me a few days ago hasn't been that severe. I loved that part about it. But I have hardly eaten in the last 4 days. No breakfast on Monday or Tuesday. Breakfast is usually a protein shake with almond milk, powder, and heavy cream. I didn't think it would be the…

One More Thing About The Common Cold/Sinuses...
I will say that when a cold or sinus problems hit me, it is very hard hitting and awful to deal with. This is the only one I have had since keto WOE. And I can actually deal with this one. My stuffiness isn't as bad and sore throat wasn't either. Does this way of eating affect those kinds of things? The severity of certain…

Okay, Dreaded Cold, Ideas, Help...
Or could be allergies/sinuses. Well, either way, one finally hit me but not as hard as they usually do. Scratchy throat all weekend. Just bothersome, not painful though. Sniffles started this morning at 2:30 am. Not unbearable though. Most of the time it hits me like a truck and makes me feel like a gas station toilet got…

Wife Wants Pho!!!
Okay before keto the wife and I would enjoy Thai food about once a week. We love pho. Her more than me. Is there any way to have it? I don't think there is cause of the noodles. Let me know peeps. If we did consume, how bad would it make a person feel?

Those Small Goals... Ideas
I asked this at the end of one of my other posts. Are there any small goals that anyone has done or attempted to keep things fresh and new? Like I am trying for 12,000 steps a day. My eating is pretty good so far. I have a few too many keto snacks on the weekend for my liking. Any ideas would be appreciated.
