It should even out once you’ve logged in a full 7 days? 

But Tuesday looks definitely wrong. Maybe just needs to be refreshed 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

That’s what is weird normally it gives me the correct average every day because I check it every day and I’ve never seen something like this before! I’ve never come close to 1800 cals 😅 

Yes I’m going to log out and log back in again in the morning! 

Lol it’s easy for me to eat over 2000cals. I’ve always had a huge appetite. The only way for me to have them low is if I stay away from refined carbs all together. But you do that already, that’s why your calories stay in the lower range 😉 

Hahaha no I would also comfortably go over 2000 because I love cream and cheese and meat 😂😂 but I’ve only never come close because I’m keeping such careful track now that I got this great digital scale and also I was so shocked over December I ‘let loose’ for about 7-10 days over my birthday and Christmas and I gained 5 kgs 🙃 which is what happens to me when I’m not super strict. So I was like ok Jess you have to do this 100% now!!! 

That’s good that you are able to control the amount of your favorite foods you like to eat. I’m working on that. I use to be strict with myself but my primitive side took over lol I just go wild when I have restricted too much. So I’m trying a different approach. Trying to eat treats in moderation. It’s very slow on the weight loss front. But I need to address the bigger problem first. Yo-yo dieting is causing havoc on my health. I will try to be the tortoise 🐢  

That is me! I was tired of feeling old when I’m not. And finding myself getting aches and pains like this nagging pain in my hip when I sit next to my daughters bed when she goes to sleep!! For me what I am finding though is my body just thrives on consistency with being in Ketosis but I also do like the odd sweet thing and I bought myself a pack of caring candies mint sweets and every day I have 1-2 of those. It’s giving me the feeling of not missing out! On y son’a birthday ten days ago I have myself license to have a piece of cake (I made this amazing honey and rooibos cake!) but it really wasn’t worth it. I felt sick for about 4 days afterwards and I get this ugly swelling in my throat. So next birthday (in two weeks) I’m going to buy myself a compliant treat to have while the others eat cake! 

I’m busy baking for my daughters birthday and had a cupcake. I had a huge breakfast before had, so one cupcake was enough for me 😄 thank goodness. Usually I would of had at least 4 or 5, that would of been on an empty stomach. Trick is to eat well so you don’t stuff your face with cake while baking it 😉 like they say when going out grocery shopping, don’t go shopping hungry. You buy the worst things. I don’t do well on these sugar free treats. They upset my tummy😢 maybe that’s why you strictly only do 1 or 2. You know what to expect when you eat the whole bag lol 🚻  

@Jespes26 try Banting Revolution Brownies, honestly better than the real thing even. Get them at selected Checkers  

Hahaha!! You must google the sugar free gummy bears Amazon review 😂😂 that is enough to make sure you only ever have 1-2 sugar free treats 🤪 I see you also have 4 children, how old? Mine are having the birthday run now over the next 8 weeks and turning 5, 9, 12 and 15 :) 

Taryn thank you! I actually have forgotten about those but I bought them once before and they were just perfect. I will buy and freeze one for each of the five birthdays we have now 🥳
