I started keto at 16st 13lp or 237lp just after Christmas 2017 and I am as of this morning 15stone 0lp or 210lp so that’s just over 3 months with a fast lost in the first week then sliwed down. Also I do not loose weight during pms week or even put in weight during periods however I now no longer weigh myself in the few days leading up to my period until the day after my period as I know my body will not loose anything during this time of the month and I would just get upset if I did. What I do is I race myself effectivly by saying u want to get to a certain realistic weight before my next period and as an overall goal I work towards getting down to the next stone down from where I am currently . So right now I just want to see 14st something…anything less than 15stone. Once I get to 14st something I will change my goal to be 13stone anything . Each stone is 14 pounds so I only realky focus on that as an acgeavebke goal. I want to be 10st 7lp as a massive dream of mine … Never been that small before but as you can imagine loosing 6stone or 85 pounds initially as a goal is so daunting and unimaginable. If I thought if it as that which I have been for two years it just felt like the impossible to me. I couldn’t see how I could do that. I truly believed I couldn’t . But I can manage getting down to my current goal of 1pound to get to 14st 13 LP and be happy about that. I’ve lost a dress size and two cup sizes on my bra … Just bought some new ones today as my last bra was getting way too big.(yes I only had 1 bra) I’ve also taken before pictures and I today took new ones … just for myself to see the difference, got an app to put the pictures side by side and I’m alot smaller than what I was and I see the difference .
In a side note, since starting this diet the following has occured to my body.
Hair and nails are stronger and longer
IBS has completely stopped
No mood swings minus pms week but still less during that time
I always have energy
I don’t ever crash as sugar levels are always stable
I hardly ever finish or even eat half of my plate of foid, I used to eat a big man size portion and I’d eat it quickly
I eat slower now a I’m 38yold woman
Mental clarity at all times despite eating so little food
No cravings for any food most of the month. Pms week I might have an Atkins bar of chocolate
I don’t eat too much fat as it makes me feel sick also the 80% is meant to come from food and your own body fat.
Sleep is better
I’m living life now, before I was only existing
I smile alot more
I’m happy within myself
I used to struggle to walk upstairs or walk anywhere, going to Amsterdam in October was quite frankly painful on my body and uncomfortable, I was literally the fattest person there (they are very slender people in Holland as they cycle everywhere)
Now I don’t struggle and go to the gym doing heavy weights out doing my bf
I don’t get sick or catch flu or colds anymore, I used to get sick all the time last year when I was at my heaviest
I also don’t get infections anymore
There’s more than just the weight to think about x
