losing 1.2 lb a week
18 July 2021
I'm finally recording my weight. I don't know why I do this, if my weight goes up I won't record it; then when it starts to come down I don't get to celebrate it. [eyeroll] As if anyone else cares.
Anyway, I'm finally back down below 190, after more than a year struggling at a weight of 193-195. It's going to be recorded as a gain, since the last time I recorded my weight (400 days ago, apparently!) I weighed two pounds less. But make no mistake: what I am now doing is WORKING!!!
Since June 30, I've lowered my daily calorie count to at or near 1500, and my carbs to at or near a net of 20. At least at this weight, that's good enough to move the needle down. I've been trying to work in a little exercise, too -- mostly stationary bike, but a few other things, too. And my garden has never looked so good -- it's more of a workout keeping it that way than you might guess! On occasion, my ketosis stick reading has even been higher than it's ever been! So I'm feeling good. (I even bowled two consecutive games more than 30 pins above my average yesterday! Who knew?) ;)
On top of that, I'm almost *never* hungry. Turns out, at least in my case, eating less leads to *less* hunger. Talk about counter-intuitive! I don't know if this is the level I will maintain for the rest of my life; time will tell. But if it is, I'm ok with that. I really do feel good.

gaining 0.0 lb a week
30 June 2021
I seem to be long-term stuck at about 25 lbs above my goal.
I haven't been recording my meals; perhaps I should. Maybe I'm not being completely honest with myself.
I just recorded what I ate yesterday. As suspected, the calories were high (about 400 above my target), but the net carb counts, at under 20, were good.
I have a minor cold (my first one since Covid hit! The price of things opening back up, I guess), and stress over the past year has been high (in addition to the lockdowns, my husband lost his job, and we did not expect it to take this long for him to find work. Everyone keeps talking about all the job openings--not in what he does so much,I guess; competition there remains fierce). I understand that can have an impact. But there must be more that I can do--I'm quite sure that I'm NOT already at my natural set-point!!
I'm already fasting from dinner (done around 7 pm) to lunch the next day (usually around 1:00), so my window is good there. And, while I'm certainly no olympian, I am getting some exercise each day. I check my ketosis (urine stick) daily, and while it's never deep purple, it's always in what appears to be a reasonable range.
The only thing I can see to change is the actual amount of food I'm eating. Well, that and eliminating cream in my coffee. It's already down to just 1 T HWC per large mug, and I'm not actually willing to do less than that, at least for now. I suppose it's possible that dairy is an issue for me. If I have to cut dairy or nuts, I'm in trouble, since they're in pretty much everything I eat that isn't meat and vegetables. :0
I'm sure I could eat less--I'm certainly never hungry, and often slightly too full, to be honest. I'm guessing the root of my problem is in my own fear of not getting enough, after a literal lifetime of overeating. So this may be my biggest challenge yet.
I'm definitely committed to this lifestyle (low carb since 2012, intermittent fasting since 2018), so this may be the last dragon I have to slay. At least, I'm willing to try keeping calories at about 1500 for an extended period (the dairy and nuts thing, as I said, could be a game changer, but I really love having a "normal-looking" diet with keto sandwich rolls, faux breading on chicken or fish sometimes, something "dessert-like," things like that, so it would be much harder to eliminate either or both of those). Looking at yesterday's meals, I would not have had to eliminate much -- the extra half of a fried chicken thigh (no seconds!), 1 T of mayo, and the brownie for lunch, for example--would have accounted for just about 400 cal, and I really wouldn't have missed them.)
New day, new chance to get it right. Let's do this.
