Notes:
I took off the exercise. I can't add that at this time.

I am keeping the water at 20 oz. only because some days I do not take in much water at all. But I will make sure I at least get 20 oz a day.

Ken:
You mentioned you did not log your food into YOUR PLAN this last weekend. Is your plan something people can view?

K-Mom, you can click on the 'MyPlan' image ( ) to see Ken's food entries.

MY PLAN is part of this forum. The wide green menu bar at the top has a link to My P.L.A.N. if you want to start using it for yourself. In User CP you have some control over what others can see. I'm pretty open with my info, so if you want to see what is in my MY PLAN, just click on the MY PLAN button in the lower right of any of my posts. There you can view my meals, see my exercise log, and my weight chart. To see different dates you simply click on the calendar.

The food database in My Plan is outdated and incomplete. Sometimes I have to pick something close to what I actually ate. But if I take the time I can manually enter foods and recipes for the things that I eat. It took me some time to key in the things that I typically eat, but once done it makes logging my food fairly quick. You can also create food lists of your typical meals. I have one called Std Meat & Eggs breakfast. If I pick that it dumps the 5 things I typically eat into my breakfast meal slot, then I adjust it there if what I ate didn't actually conform to my norm. MY PLAN is sort of clunky and old. There are much better apps out there with more complete food databases and more information and nutrition reports about your diet. But MY PLAN is good enough for me. It is here so I started using it.

P.S. If you do look at what I eat you'd be better off looking at what logged in 2015 & 2016 when I was losing. Right now I'm training for running a 10K next month. Working out hard makes me want to eat more. So while I'm keeping it very low carb, I'm eating tons of fat and protein. I'm also not losing any weight. I find that working out hard and eating sufficiently low for weight loss is a tough thing to do.

The mission: Deep ketogenic eating everyday
The rules: Eat less than 20 net carbs per day and less than 15 net carbs at any one meal.
Other parameters: I will give myself up to 5 passes/exceptions throughout the 90 day period, but they cannot be used on consecutive days. These are not free-for-all days, but an allowance to take into account that perfection is not required.

Passes used: 5 of 5

Yesterday: 10 net carbs, 33 Total carbs. Suddenly going less than 20 total carbs stopped me up for days. I ate more fiber the past few days and did finally get some relief. It took a while to adjust to m high fiber diet. I guess it is going to take a while to adjust to a low fiber diet, too.

Ken you are an inspiration!! Coming into the final 7 days of your 90 day challenge!! You rock!

Thanks Arielle! But be aware that I started and failed to complete at least half a dozen of these challenges last year. When I was in maintenance 'weight creep' mode I found it quite hard to dial back my eating and snap out of it. This challenge really helped. I have not lost all that much since starting this one, but at least the weight creep has come to an end.

Thanks Ken for all the information about MY PLAN. I didn't know it existed. It seems a little overwhelming to me, but I may do it in the future. I copied and pasted what you wrote into a Word document and put it on my desktop. Good idea about checking years 2015 and 2016.
