My ticker only reflects a 2 lb loss because my weight has yo-yo'ed lately, but I'm 7 lbs down from my doc appointment two weeks ago! Excited! Not expecting a quick weight journey here, but I'm just thrilled it's moving in the right direction. After counting calories for 8 months and only losing 12 pounds (then gaining some of it back) I feel like this might work for me. I need to get more creative with the recipes though - meat has never been my favorite thing and I get really bored with it.

I'm open to friends! I'm not super interactive as I'm a mom at home with two part time jobs, but I love support and also peeking at others' diaries. It's so helpful for new ideas. Mine is open to friends as well.

    Personally, I suggest picking a random date 6 months or so prior to your "first weigh in" to include your heaviest weight, even if it isn't your oldest weight. That way it shows your ENTIRE progress. Just something that helps me....

    Anyone here can shoot me a friend request. I'm at high end of keto carb levels, and actually tracking my diary again. so feel free to hit me up. Just include LC or Keto in your request. Thanks!

    P.S. Most folks don't mine sharing recipes, too, if they have them that way in their diaries...

    Congrats on your loss so far!

    There's nothing magic about LCHF, but it sure feels like it some days. I never thought I'd get over my addiction to food until I committed to this woe. I can finally eat food I enjoy and not feel the need to stuff myself to excess.

    Please feel free to add me. My diary is open to friends.
