Almost down a pound. Very happy and very unexpected. The woman at the weightloss place told me that my ketosis level was high and that I am in fat burning mode. I will have to look that up on order to see if I can make the most out of it. If my body wants to burn fat then I will help it along by really watching what I eat, drinking enough water and making sure I have my electrolytes. I have not been doing well in those areas.
I did not go to work on Friday so I didn't take an arm comparison picture. I try to wear the same dress and take the picture the exact same way every time. Although, I don't have very high hope for seeing results.I did realize today that I have been losing weight and exercising which are the two things that will help with seeing results. In the past I would just try spot exercising with nothing else and wondering why I wasn't seeing results. I am older and wiser now.

Oh you will see results believe me!
What I have learned when you go into ketosis you have obviously cut your carbs enabling your body to burn your stored fat. I'm
not sure how long it takes everyone is different. But next you will become fat adapted. You will continue to burn stored body fat if you continue eating low carbs you will stay "fat adapted" your ketone numbers will most likely drop but your still fat adapted.
Hope that helps and congrats, that's quite an accomplishment !

Ty Bizzy, always willing to share what I had to figure out. I got the urine strips and as long as the turn color your burning ketones. Then I bought the blood meter it's far more accurate. Started out 3.5 - 4.0 depends what you eat. For the past few weeks they range .09 - 1.7 as long as your gettng a reading your good!
Another thing I noticed was a different smell to my skin that too is a sign. If you have someone that tests for you thats great, blood strips are expensive.
I hope you succeed in everything you try.
