Wednesday Weigh In

Thanks Bella! I have cut my carbs and that I feel is the main reason I have lost weight. I just cut carbs and sugar. My DH is a huge bread and potatoes guy which lead me to eating more carbs over the years. Since I stop eating that type food I feel so much better! More energy and less gas.. hahaha

Down 7lbs this week by doing my alternate day fasting. I now need to be sensible, my last 4 weigh ins have been up 7, down 7, up 7, down 7! Holidays are fun though and I love feasting.

Down 1.2kg, BMI 29. Very pleased with this 😊. I can't find a pattern yet with my breath ketone monitor 😟. I'm recording the highest of three readings each time - it certainly varies! I had one meal out this week, Lamb with a lovely gravy, roast veges and couscous. No dessert or alcohol, which I had been having on previous meals out 😬. I worked out i had at least 51 carbs that day, with my normal avocado, lemon juice, psyllium powder, kefir and chia seeds to get fibre up to at least 30 grams. The meter certainly showed a nose dive which continued till two mornings later when I was in high ketosis again (66.3 ppm). So it is good (but disappointing) that it's showing me it takes over 24 hours to get back into ketosis. I will have to consider this when I want to eat out.

I'm going away next Tuesday for two and a half weeks - one week with my parents where I know we r eating out for Dads 88th Birthday and a bbq for Fathers Day. I could do keto there the rest of the week, though Dad will be pushing the fruit he grows onto me. I'm not taking my monitor. Then I'm going to the Great Barrier Reef where I'm staying with a friend in her waterfront property for 5 days, and I know we will eat out! Then 6 days on a Tall Ship around the Whitsunday Islands, fully catered 😎. I definitely will be eating whatever is provided. And I will be drinking at Sunset every day 🥂. Ah well, Im aiming to enjoy myself on my holiday. So I will do keto when I get home again and get rid of however much weight I put on, and keep on going with this restrictive diet until I get to a normal BMI 👍.

I am very happily down 2 pounds.....amazing what logging your food, substituting vegetables for noodles, and fruit for a candy bar will do!

I’m up 1.2 this week but I expected it. DH is home for a few days and requested lasagna and we went out for fried chicken and movie 🍿. Back to business next week 🙂

Congrats to everyone staying on task!

up one as well. Been exercising but also eating a ton. Oh, and drinks every night! Life is fun, but not when my clothes don't fit. Next week I'm going down.

Down 1 lb to 145.8 Slow and steady. 5.8 lbs to goal weight. I was a little surprised by my loss, as we had been on vacation for a few days, eating and drinking all those vacation goodies. But with the heat and my allergy medication for this time of year, I generally am not as hungry as usual. Going to a music festival this weekend, and then next week off for 2 weeks vacation to Wales and England - doubt I will be able to maintain, but we will see.

Down .5 after a climb to an alarming number last Friday.

Pat, I've never gained weight on a vacation. So much walking always eats up the extra calories.

I haven't been to WW the last two Mondays. When I weighed at the gym on Sunday morning, I was holding my own. But my wedding ring has been tight lately which is a bad sign of retained fluid. I hope to go to WW next Monday. Will weigh tomorrow morning at the gym.

Up .5. No excuses.

I was up .4 at the WW weigh in last night. Was prepared for a bigger gain so I was relieved. The meeting was good and I enjoyed the other people, as usual. I need to move the incremental weight changes in the other direction! Down not up.

Well Wren, I beat you, I’m up 2.6 lbs. Not sure what happened this week, maybe too much celebrating (stable scans last week). Anyway, back at it.

I havent checked in for a couple of weeks. Held steady at my lower weight and then this morning I am down .5. It seemsto be working for me to just eat healthy and stay in that groove instead of starving myself. This is sustainable.

I agree with Falconer- Keep at it! For my own sanity I can't weigh myself every week. I can check in and tell you how I feel every week...lol. I just can't get hung up on a number. My clothes are getting looser and I have more energy. Have a great week ladies...let's get moving!

Hello everyone,

It feels motivated to see all of you being so fit and losing weight. Well I haven't reach the point yet but I would like to know that is it fact that we gain weight during the Chemo and can lose the weight once Chemo is done. Currently I am on weekly Taxol and I have three more to go. I used to be active person before this whole Cancer started. I used to weigh around 133 lbs but once the chemo started i.e from May 2018, my workout stopped and happen to gain weight. Now I weigh 145 lbs. I have been reading that because of the steroids and during chemo, we tend to gain weight. I am pretty conscious on what I eat. I don't eat much of the junk food and try to avoid soda.

So do you ladies think that once the Chemo is done, there are chances to lose the weight. I know that it will not drop without doing anything but i want to know how was your experiences on it. I am already worried that what if I will not be able to. I have always been conscious about my weight and kinda feel insecure about it as well.

Thank you so much .
