Hey all. I'M BACK!!!! Its been a while bc ive been busy and honestly have not been honest with myself. I let my journey take a back seat and I am not even sure to what, but I am trying to get back on track I've gained a few pounds and have started a new eating style after much research. I don't know if it will help me get where I want to be but I've been in a plateau for over a year so there's no real hurt in trying something new. I am trying a ketogenic diet. I miss my carbies but I don't have much of a sweet tooth naturally so that helps me a bit.

Anyway, I know we've missed a few days but lets get it going

Am I on my own this month. Anybody wanna join in. I know it's been a while since I've been here, but don't leave me hanging....

I'll join in! What's the TOM %?

I just weighed in today to get started on my journey again!

TOM=Time Of Month

I started the weigh-in thread last month but it was slow in here. This month I joined the weigh-in thread in the 100 lb Club since it is a lot more active. You can find it here: July 2017 Weigh Accountability

Ahhh, when I am in the 100lbs club, I will be trust me.....lol

Hello Kiwi1222...

Congrats on your weightloss.
Its funny, I believe we're on the same page.
In February I was all the way down to 219lbs and now I'm back up to 244 as of this morning...

I was always keeping a pulse on things because I didn't want to get back to my original weight before I started losing which was 270lbs...but 244 is close enough now to start getting back on track.

So I'm in this right with ya!!!!You can do it!

Thank you and I know that we can do it. I realized that my plateau was based on my lack of knowledge and also fear. I had been researching fasting and the ketosis for very long time, but I wasn't serious enough about it because I was afraid to eat more fat. I am now on a total ketogenic diet and the weight is just melting away and I tend to work out like a maniac (not for fear of gaining weight but because I like to stay active), but as it has been soooo hot in the washington DC area, its hard to get motivated to work out so I have been slacking a bit on that front and the weight is falling off and more importantly body fat %. Normally when I don't work out bc Im sick or something I may lose weight but my body fat goes up bc I am losing my muscle from not training. Its all fat coming off. I am so happy that I was able to switch the brain and stop fearing calorie count and fat. I so many more calories that I normally do yesterday, but had more fat and very little carbs. I skipped my workout and this morning am 2lbs lighter. I LOVE IT! I'm back people!!!!

Hey stephanie, Where'd you go? Come back.

Although the month is about to end. I think I will place a weight in here for accountability. I have just decided to legitimately attempt weight loss again. I weighed in at 197.2 this morning. I used to be on this forum and it helped the first time I had to lose 50+ pounds so I am back to try it again.

great. Welcome and I Hope to see you in the august weigh in thread!
