Badmojomn thanks for posting re the artificial sweeteners, I use Equal tabs in my coffee approx 3/day ... could that maybe be a reason I've only lost .8lb in 3 weeks? Getting despondent! You are the same height as me and your CW is my ideal weight ... I try to reach my daily Protein but fall short on the others.

Kimbizee, the Equal is probably not your problem. Hitting your macros is important but hitting the percentages is WAY more important. I don't really get hungry because of the lack of carbs so sometime i don't eat even half of my daily macros. On Keto it is very important to get the right amount of fat versus protein. the ratio should be roughly 5:1 (80% fat, 15% Protein) with FAT being the most important. If you eat to high of a percentage of protein your body turns the extra protein into Glucose which is bad. Simply stated, you need more FAT. 80% of your calories NEED to come from Fat. Drink MCT oils if you need to, but get the 5:1 ratio correct even if you are under eating. You need to add Butter, Olive Oil, etc to everything you eat if that's what it takes. I eat butter on all veggies, i cook in tons of butter, I sprinkle olive oil an lots of foods and, I have fat bombs in the fridge. Sometime eating enough fat can be tough but that is the key to Keto. 5:1 ratio. live by it.

I started Keto on 4/1/19
SW 192 (size 16)
CW 149.2 (size 8/medium)
GW 140
These last 9lbs or so are taking for ever! People around me keep telling me I dont need to lose any more but I think 140 would be a good spot for me. I have not done more than 16 hrs of IF and have been tracking/weighing everything I eat. Dont have time really right now to exercise due to work load. Any suggestions to help get these last pounds off?

Interesting thread. I started 3 weeks ago. I'm 60, have hashimoto's thyroiditis, and weigh 160 pounds (5'4"). No weight loss, yet. None. Not giving up, yet. Receiving support on this site. Have been feeling horrible so increased carb intake slightly. Still in ketosis. Exercise every day, always have. My ideal weight is around 130 pounds. Haven't seen that since I was 40.
