Would anybody like to cheerfully check in daily here?

I thought this was an older thread and had to update my comment.     I am New here and would be willing to check in.   I’m also in Pacific Time.  😃

Good Morning from Buckner Missouri. Been on this food plan for 2 and a half weeks now. I hope Im doing it correctly. I lost 5 pounds at me 2 week mark. This week im fluctuating betwwn the 5 and one more pound making it six. I lose it and gain it back.  Typical day

Brkf Eggs and cheese

Snack Hand full of  pistachios 

Lunch chkn salad or chipolte no rice or beans

Dinmer meat,with cheesy veggie 

Dessert sugar free pudding moose. 

Is this a true keto plan?

I hope you all have a great Friday!

klovealllmbl Are you entering in your macros( things your eating )? Staying under 20 net carbs ?

oleetab86f badmojomn I have not been tracking. I downloaded an app but havent spent time figuring it out amd tracking

klovealllmbl you lost 5 in two weeks is mainly water weight but still excellent. Try to get at least the carb net count figured out. It's a wonderful app. If you want to get serious about blood ketosis get a precision xtra meter for ketones and glucose. You have to buy the lanclets and the injector part but for me totally worth it. As im turning the strips now lighter in color since I'm fat adapted, my blood meter is saying something different.  Good luck, and you can do this. 

klovealllmbl try less snacking if you can. And don't set yourself up with a dessert each night. Make it a friday night treat if at all.  Most of us try to avoid all artificial sugars for a bit or a lifetime. They have been known to induce cravings in some followers. Make some fatty keto soups up and freeze them. You would be amazed at the satisfaction after eating a whole cream soup can carry you through. Taco and  bacon cheeseburger is my favorite. 

I would love daily check-ins I found it helps me and keeps me accountable 

So a bit about me... I'm on the WoE since mid Oct up to now I have lost 35lbs. If you guys don't mind I will be using metric as it's easier for me.

At the start of November I had a goal in mind for my birthday. I wanted to loose 10kg. Tomorrow are my birthday and I have one more weigh in to do but so far I have lost 16kg. I will be setting a new goal for end of January 2018 on my birthday.

start weight: 127kg

current weight: 111kg

over all goal weight: 65 - 70kg (have not decided quite yet) 

have te a great day and Keto on 

Hi everyone. I am not sure I am doing this correctly as I have never before participated in a forum like this. I am enjoying going keto; however, seem to sabotage myself all the time, usually at the end of the day or when I am feeling down. I have noticed that I don’t feel well anymore after eating a lot of carbs. The challenge seems to be the cravings before eating and giving in.  Grrrr.   Any suggestions?

dlnorthey , what got me through what I think of as my “withdrawal” period was 6 blackberries smothered in heavy whipping cream. I know most keto dieters say to avoid eating at night, but this really got me through. It is sweet enough to satisfy my craving for sweets but the carbs are minimal and good for fat adapting. Now I don’t even need them.

Thanks. I will try that. 

dlnorthey How long have you been following keto? Could it be keto flu or your majorly ketosing at the end of the day? That happened to me when I was turning the strips really dark I craved carbs. 

Good morning everyone.  I'm checking in for my sanity.  I'm going to do the Whole30, while tracking for Keto.  Eliminating dairy for me may be significant for sinus issues that I just can't get over.  I would like to lose about 50 pounds.  I already exercise, know what to eat, but have been derailed through holidays, job stress and travel.  I hope to keep it simple, and just do this. I'll be 58 in May and would like to FINALLY be over the weight issue, and get my closet down to just clothes that I wear, not wish I could wear.  I'll be going through a major career change in the next month, so that'll have its plusses and minuses.  It's exciting, a challenge and what I want to do, but it doesn't make sense to others so it's a little going against the grain.  Wish me luck.  Thanks everyone for their support.

Thanks. I usually check my levels in the morning. I will see if there is a difference in the afternoon. 

Well certainly, I'll check in!  Doing great - wearing myself out getting the garden ready to plant...I've got seedlings ready to go in as soon as the weather seems like it will co-operate.  Keto is awesome...down 28 lbs since mid January.  Loving the food, as is my husband, though he's still eating carbs too.

I do have a question about the carb manager community...maybe somebody can answer..I received an email saying a Carb Mgr friend is asking how I'm doing.  I can't figure out where or how to answer her!

JustFurKids Carol you may see the message in the bubble up top? Or on your page there is a thumbs up called motivation.
