The Low Carber Daily forum makes all the changes possible. I read the posts faithfully and celebrate successes. I've learned so much. I've gotten support for those times where I've made a mess of things. It keeps me coming back, improving and changing.

When I read of the amazing changes that people have made - improved health and incredible life changes, it makes me want to do it for myself. I am grateful to the moderators who spend so much time encouraging, monitoring and supporting the rest of us. I am also grateful to the active posters who add so much to this group and who keep it interesting.

I know so much more than I did in August when I started this. It's put me where I am, the lowest weight since 2001. I'm almost at goal and I feel so much better: more energy, better mindset and clothes that fit.

My conclusion is that if you are having issues with weight loss and a negative mindset, this is the place to come to get a new attitude and great help.

    Agreed! Even though I don't really need constant help maintaining this WOE, I love to check in and feel surrounded by so many people on the same path as me!

    I wish MFP had a like button for posts, cuz I'd like yours :) I do more reading than writing mainly because I never want to give the wrong advice. But I am learning lots!

    Love this! And I agree. I'm constantly learning new things here, and inspired by so many people. And I love that people aren't "hangry" here. Lol.

    Seriously, without this group I would never have stuck with this WOE this long! So much advice and support here! I haven't had much time lately for checking in and posting here, but I have added some of you fantastic people to my friends list and get to see your updates in my news feed when I log in. I'd used MFP several times previously, but I never found a community where I could get this kind of support, so I never maintained it. This group has changed my life. For real.

    This group has literally changed my life. I am so glad I found you all ! I needed the technical and emotional support offered here when changing my diet to a keto diet. I don't know anyone where I live who eats the way I do, apart from my kids to varying degrees. It's so helpful to be able to communicate with like-minded people. We really are all in this together. The support ensures that we don't give up when we are just starting out, and makes this WOE very sustainable for the long term.

    The weight loss has been great, but the beautiful support and encouragement has been good for my soul. I have experienced so many personal health benefits from this WOE and increased emotional sense of well-being is among them, which has been so surprising and wonderful. I can't credit this group enough, love it here !

    I am one who can do about anything if I understand the concept and why I should do it. MFP has been very helpful. Even negative posts lead me to dig for the facts which helped my understanding greatly. Thanks for everyone here making this low carb group an asset.

    Me too. No dramas, no bitchiness, no "post studies" or it's BS requests every 2 seconds... It seems all the friendly and helpful mfp'ers are condensed in this one group :heart:

    I absolutely agree! If I couldn't check in somewhere every day I'd have given up by now. Having somewhere to go helps me take it a day at a time. Thanks everyone!

    This group has been amazing - I've been lurking for ages and it's been so useful looking back over previous posts to learn more about eating this way. And there have been so many problems that I've had which would have made me give up if I hadn't been able to ask people on here about them and find out what to do! Plus everyone's success stories are wonderful to read - it's so great to have people coming together to share such positive experiences

    Whether you just troll & post little or are active, I agree with every word above. Everyone is understanding, open and transparent. Thanks for educating me on this weird & wonderful WOE
