Weight History

Start Weight

155.0 lb

Lost so far: 14.0 lb

Current Weight

Performance: losing 3.5 lb a week

Goal Weight

Still to go: 11.0 lb

I'm 26 years old, trying to live healthfully while working and finishing graduate school.

I used to weigh 110 - 120 about 2 years ago, believe it or not. This is the SECOND time in my life I've weighed 150+. The first time around I lost the weight doing extreme, obsessive low carb. It "worked," but wasn't sustainable for me at all, and I was miserable the whole time.

My goal now is to find some measure of peace and (relative) sanity around food, while taking care of my health and happiness, too.

Self Pity rant for this month
You're doing such a great job already! You don't need to rake yourself over the coals like this. The important thing is that you have positive intentions for yourself, YOUR body and YOUR happiness.

Do you feel angry or frustrated with some other aspect of your life right now? The lack of recognition in this department might be ruffling your feathers because of a different issue altogether. Happens to me all the time.

your best advice...
Keep it SIMPLE. Constancy over time is way, way more important than trying to optimize every last detail of your diet and exercise plan.

Motivation to Excerise!!
If you have some new favorite songs, or some podcasts, only let yourself listen to them while you're exercising. It helps me to make it a habit, and to look forward to it (sometimes, anyway!).

How do I get my body in Ketosis?
Your body goes into ketosis when it does not have enough carbohydrates to fuel itself. If you restrict your carbohydrate intake, your body will burn off it's temporary stores of it (called glycogen), and then start making ketones out of fat (either your body fat or from your diet) as a substitute.

The amount of carbohydrate grams a person can eat and still get into ketosis varies, based on your physical activity level. For myself, I need to have somewhere between 0 and 30 grams of carbohydrates a day to maintain ketosis. Anything below 100 grams would, theoretically, get you into ketosis eventually.
