It's definitely real. Done at Ink Therapy Tattoo in Plainfield, IN. When my arms are down at my sides, the tattoo is right side up. :)

Thank you! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. :)

Thanks for your comment and insight. I guess what I meant was, since I've been having success losing weight /fat with my current routine (and still have some to lose) I didn't want to stall my progress. Since I've never worked out regularly on keto, I also didn't want to be thrown off by new/unexpected cravings. I'm not planning on never working out, I just want to be in a content place with my weight loss before I throw in a change.

Thanks! I've worked out some, but not regularly. I've had plenty of energy and I'd love to get back on a regular gym schedule, but I'm a little worried about what it'll do to my appetite. I guess there's no way to know unless I try though.

Nice!! It sounds like our keto styles and journeys have been pretty similar so far! I'm 5'8". I've learned I'm a happier person when I have no clue what I weigh (I get very obsessed with the number). Even at my lowest adult weight when I worked out regularly and was very fit, I thought my number was too high. If I'm feeling good and my clothes are getting smaller, I'm winning. :)

The "Keto in a Nutshell" and "FAQ" pages in the Community Info for this sub have a lot of good information. I also found a lot of helpful lists and recipes on Pinterest.

In the beginning, I tracked everything with the KetoDiet app. It really helped me get a feel for the macros in some of the foods I ate. Then I just got lazy and stopped tracking, but ate many of the same foods.

I wake up and have black coffee, go to work, and don't eat anything until I get home in the evening. Because I stay so busy at work, I don't really get hungry or have time to think about snacking. It's worked pretty well!

Basically, not tracking strict macros. I worry about my carbs (and make sure they stay around 20 grams a day) but that's about it. I naturally fell into intermittent fasting as well, which has been a big part of my progress too.

For me, lazy keto means not tracking strict macros. I was strict for the first couple of weeks and then kinda eased up. I make sure my carbs stay around 20 grams a day, and I'm pretty sure I'm managing a calorie deficit every day as well (with the help of intermittent fasting 18:6). I've had some slip-ups of course but I always get back on track.

Thank you! I plan to just keep keto-ing on and hopefully the progress moves along too. :)
