I'm going nowhere fast in this challenge. Iced in for the weekend...did not behave. Back to it we go!
Weigh-in was 281.4 today. Still feeling really bloated and tired from TOM, but down a bit at least. Looking forward to TOM ending soon. Taking a rest day from the gym today.

I have not logged for the past two days because it was very hectic but I am still on keto. On Sunday I had an early birthday celebration with my bf since he wouldn't be around on my birthday, and went to a buffet. It was very tempting but I still ate keto, but 200 calories over my goal. I am so proud of myself. Shark-week ends today yay! the last 5 days have been rough and the white chocolate cravings are real lol. But I have endured and did not give in to temptation.
gardenerjoy My goal is to lose 17 lbs by the end of January. I have a mini goal to reach 12.2 lbs by my birthday, not sure if I would make it but I'm working hard to get there.
Everyone, thank you for the encouragement. I am still trying to figure out intermittent fasting. The first two days went well but after that, it was a disaster. I have decided to break my fast at 1 and stop eating at 7, so let's see how that goes.
I found this amazing workout that I want to share. I started today and I am enjoying it! It is a bit hard but I feel it in every inch of my body lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CjgB79A7PM

Wow there are some amazing numbers on this thread, well done, and thanks for the motivation!
I am down this morning and hoping for a run of it now as I have my meals planned and my head in the right place. Would really like my injured foot to heal so I can couple the eating plan with exercise.... but for now that will have to wait.

Weigh-in was 281.4 again today. TOM is still sticking around, but I am so done with it...lol. Hoping it hits the bricks -- ASAP. A little worried about tonight, because today is the day of our date night at Olive Garden. It was planned almost two weeks in advance, which almost never happens...haha. It's to celebrate him passing tape this morning, which is the reason he's been working out with me. Although, he has officially said now that he will keep it up with me on the weekends...so, yay for that! But, tonight I will have to be careful...not only because of the insane amount of calories in restaurant food, but the fact that I'm still on TOM and am super sensitive to sodium bloat, which I am FOR SURE going to go way over on tonight. I've been looking at the menu, planning ahead on my lowest calorie pasta options (can't just do the lean meats and such because I'm a vegetarian, and they don't really have many other "healthy" options), and the sodium is still astronomical. So, my goal is to work around the plan for dinner tonight and drink TONS of water....only allow myself one breadstick...and go easy on the dressing for the salad at the beginning. Hopefully, that will help mitigate the damage a little while still allowing me to enjoy the night out. Fingers crossed that I don't gain too much stubborn weight on the scale and that it flushes back out quickly...lol.

Thanks for the encouragement opheliaphoenix, I hope when TOM is over you'll get a nice loss.
Chouku, sounds like you are doing great and keeping strong. thanks for sharing the workout link, I will check it out for sure once my foot is better.
Official weigh in for the week in the morning, hoping that will keep me on track through a stressful day today. I have been taking photos of everything I eat which is really helping making me think before I do so.

Wow it's so impressive that many people have already made goal for the month - awesome job. Gardenerjoy - excellent job on your new low for the month Ophelia -congrats on making such great dinner choices and on already hitting your goal this month - excellent progress
Weigh-in was 279.8 today, which is a surprise considering last night. I stayed pretty close to my plan...the only thing that changed was that my husband ordered fried mozzarella as an appetizer, and I ended up indulging in two pieces. But, I ended up only eating half of my plate that I pre-planned for, because I was so full so it kind of evened out...lol. I managed to stay under calories for the day, so yay! Sodium was another story, of course. Haha. TOM is still lingering, but it seems like today might be the last day, so I imagine that - on top of sleeping in a little longer today before weigh-in - helped with the little whoosh. I suspect it might be a superficial low that will bump back up or maintain tomorrow, but I'll take it for today as my reward for not going crazy at dinner last night.
