Enter weight loss here- start of your journey date - begging and end goals- GO!

Hello! I started today. Actually started end of Nov and did fabulous (8 pounds) until I stopped tracking and had so many people here for Holidays. Didn’t eat typical treats or holiday carbs, but clearly  need the accountability of an app as I added a couple pounds back. When left to estimating myself, I err on the side of radically underestimating. No surprise there. CW 195. GW 140. One day at a time. One tracking entry a time. Let’s get after it everyone! 

pnhale mine too!  However he has a huge tote now he keeps all his junk food in.  I don’t understand how he can eat like he does and stay slim, I can simply look at junk food and gain, oh well, I’m determined!

Starting date of 1-1-18 at 214, hit ketosis today. Down to 204.6 and have a goal of 170.  Need to get healthy and be able to exercise more. 

badmojomn I'm one week (to whole 30, very sim) and doing well.  Water weight gone, now on to the  fat.  I feel pretty good, and not deprived.  I love eating good food.

First and foremost: Thank you for the support that everyone using this app provides  I’ve been  a MFP user for years but you folks rock it like no others!

I started Dec 7, 2016 at 203 lbs.  5’5” 57 yr old female

GW 140

I know this is a large goal to attain but I know I can do it.  I was at 146 two years ago on a different plan than was clean eating but restrictive on many items including avocado. 🤨 I couldn’t maintain that restrictive eating of no red meat, no ago, no butter, etc., etc.  Since starting keto, I’ve stopped binging, quit all sugar and most sugar substitutes.  I find that I am no longer obsessing over food and my next meal.  I feel quite liberated.  Wine has always been my downfall.  Here’s my potential stretch goal....I am now seriously considering stopping all alcohol regardless of social settings.  More to follow.

After my 38th Birthday I decided to shed my post baby weight from 11/2015, better late than never 😀

I was starving the first few days but made it through, then attended 3 Christmas Parties and hosted one of them. My only cheating was with fats and protein but no carbs! I’m so happy the New Year is here and everyone I know is eating healthier,...makes  eating  so much easier!

 I would encourage others fighting the scales and instead to let pics and clothes fitting be a better judgement. I was 183 pre-pregnancy wt. and I look smaller than I was before at this weight.

I never measured but I know I’m smaller. Being prepared for meals is my success story Whether for work, parties, and outings,...everyone has been great and super supportive and asking all about Keto.

GL everyone 😀

badmojomn Wow, such a long journey for you. You have to be pleased with your progress! I know you will make 160!

Okay members, I began my journey on Halloween, 2017. I started at 178 lbs. Now it will soon be 3 months in, and I am happy to report I am at 159.8 lbs. I have been able to encourage my daughter and her roommate to join the Keto journey. She jumped right in after reading 3 different books and researching Keto online and on YouTube. My goal right now is 150 lbs. I am pleased that I got through Thanksgiving and Christmas without gaining weight! I celebrated when I cracked below 160! It was an exciting win. Keep at it people, this has really worked for me. I just had my gall bladder removed this past Monday. I have put this off for about 7 years, and my doctor reported that it was inflamed and needed to be done, since I had multiple stones. Happy Keto to ALL!

badmojomn Thanks for the egg salad idea! I LOVE, love egg salad and the crunchy celery sounds great! Never thought about mashing the eggs however. I can see where it would be creamier.  Will try this soon. Like new dishes to try. Right now I'm eating on a vegetable soup that I made with kale, cabbage, asparagus...etc. It tastes yummy after my surgery!

Dear Badmojomn,

I found something interesting that I am going to try.  I moved from Texas so I have to wait for Amazon to ship this to me (I am in New Zealand). I have not tried them yet (they should be here next week) but I thought I would mention it to you because like you ILOVE NOODLES.  It is on Amazon as I mentioned.  It is called “Miracle Noodle”.  They have zero carbs and are gluten free.  I have ordered several one is called Shirataki Pasta, Garlic and Herb Fettuccini.  They come in 7 ounce packets and there are six packs for the low price of $15.49.  There are other flavours and even “Angle Hair Pasta”.

From One Pasta Lover to Another,

Bev

I have never heard of carbonara noodles or the black bean pasta, but I will give them a try also.  Thank you.

Hi.  I just started 16 days ago and lost 11 lbs so far. A friend of mine been doing keto for a few years now and she had great success. At the same time she c stated keto I was on ww...I had great results too when I  followed their plan, lost about 45 lbs.  But I never  felt this good on ww, ever.  

I should have listened to her and stated keto a while ago. Only after these 16 days my heartburn is gone completely!  My stomach bloating is down drastically and I feel energetic. 

Need to lose another at least 40 lbs, but it would be great to lose like 60 lbs total. That would put me back to a healthy bmi range.

Can't wait to see what the future on keto will turn out this year.  I'm 44, but in my heart I'm still in my  20's, I wanna look like that too again! :)

Started Keto 7 months ago at 230 lbs. Hit 200 lbs in December. Very happy with my progress. I am keeping my net carbs below 20 - usually 15 gyms. Keto stick is always purple. Problem: lately I have been more hungry than nd my weight loss has stalled.  Back and foot surgery keeps me somewhat sedentary for the past 8 months. Age 72

weight goal 175 lbs.

Dear Badmojomn,

You were right about the “Miracle Noodles”.  They have a texture like rubber bands and taste terrible.  I wish I had talked to you first.

Sincerely,

Beverly Avery

I’m GOING to make it OUT of the “200 club” by March! I’m determined!

but even with the weight gain I still felt better and had more energy than I ever did at nearly 300#! Yeah!

Stephie Bryant 

you’ve started taking charge and once you get the hang of it and get keto adapted you’ll feel physically better and that alone will encourage you to stick with it!

but even if you fall off the diet, Don’t fret!

Just “pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start over!” ;)

Hello.  I started the Keto lifestyle on 11/4/17 at 173 lbs.  I lost 13 pounds the first month and I have hit an almost 2 month plateau.  I've lost those same 13 pounds about 10 times and I've never been able to hit my goal weigh of 150.

Any tips or suggestions would be great!
