I hope this drop is stable, after almost a week of feeling stalled. Looking on the bright side, I've been on keto for exactly a month (Nov. 21st). My goal is to lose 10 lbs. a month and I lost exactly 10 lbs. during the first month. Needing something to celebrate and this might help keep motivation high.


Good Job IF!
I started a week ago and have lost 5lbs. I stayed the same today. I weigh fully dressed, added thermals this morning.

Default sorry I needed someone to talk to or I was going off plan
My God I'm so mad, I was supposed to get my teeth cleaned and somehow I've been in their office for 2 days 3 hours both times and no cleaning. I have this super common heart thing 1 in 8 people have it and we live on average 2 years longer than other people. Their all hung up on it and I have to see a cardiologist before they will clean my teeth.

I brought them ADA and AHA recommendations, that went into effect 10 years ago you do nothing special and they blew that off. I called another dentist and will just pay for the cleaning myself.

It took about 40 tries to get my xrays done, so I hope double dental xrays is ok.

Oh my, nawchem, how stressful. It's OK to vent here. Maybe the dentist was afraid you would sue if something ever came up. Who knows? Stay strong. You've got this!

Well done!

Unlike you, it has taken me 3 months to lose 10 pounds!

Merry Christmas Gem! See you when you come back.

Ah, Scotiagirl, that scale messed you up. I am sure you will be back down tomorrow.

As for me, it's true that the scale is finally going down but I have a Christmas party tonight so that number will probably be up tomorrow so the challenge is not over yet! Let's all be Losers!

Working at it. This is one of the challenges of losing weight, at least for me. Impatience and realistic expectations. Momma Bear you've got this. Thanks for this encouraging group. Stay focused on your goals during the holidays.
