I agree with watso on that first week - something wrong there

but, the keto well done really does rip the fat away - so, I'm not surprised you are getting some good weeks

will be interesting to see if you have a stall period - there's a couple of tricks if that occurs

are you doing any muscle work as well??? - that can throw out the 'weight'

like - if you lose 2 kilos of fat in a week - but, put on 1 kilo of muscle -

you shouldn't really judge it by a 'one kilo lost' week - indeed -

that's the weeks you really want to have.

I go for shape in front of the mirror (and, measurement)- it's actually a better guide if you are shaping at the same time.

for me - I've got a discipline problem - with gyms and weights etc.

I now love the bike and walking - so, the bottom end is 'great' -- but, as good as fully developed -

the top end ------- different story. The muscle fibres are in place - and, a fantastic shape if I work them ---------- but, what I really need is some sort of activity for the top - like a bike is for the bottom

haven't found that magic yet.

If you are on the wrong side of 60 - you really want to hope that at some stage in life - doesn't matter how far back - that you did grown lots of muscle fibres --- then, you're ok -

because after 60 - it's really Tom Cruise mission impossible to grow new ones -

but, if you had them there earlier - even for a short while - the little buggers are still there and still willing.

I luckily had a bike when I was about 16 - only for a short time - and my quads and arse built better than Arnie -

then, I did zip - even in the army - I think the most I walked was 30 km - now - I can do that for breakfast. And, the quads have come back in all their glory -- not so the upper bit atm - it's ok - but, if it were used like the bottom - then Arnie would be history

if you're losing fat - it's a brilliant time to do some muscle work

That is what I lost in the first week and it is not unusual------------

Depending on your size and how much water weight you’re carrying, this weight loss can vary. Anecdotally, people report losses within the first week of anywhere from 1 pound (0.5 kg) to 10 or more pounds (5 kg).The larger you are, the more water weight you’re likely to lose after starting keto. Although, it’s unlikely that much of this initial weight loss is fat loss.

All I care about is what weight was on the doctors scales at the time

Yes I have been walking small distances and doing some upper body weights

I need to develop and strenghten the muscles above my knees

I did a longer walk yesterday---------only about 1.5ks; but today my knees are sore again

I was never into building muscles but I rode everywhere on a bike when I was younger
