Hi Keto Clan, I started Keto on 2/12/2017 after many years of on and off Low Carbing. Seems my body clock has stopped, so now it's time to kick start Keto as ordered by my doctor. I'm still reverting to my old ways watching the carbs and forgetting that it's FAT over Protein macro's...Here to get some motivation and friends who are successful on this WOL...LET'S GO KETO....

Hello all! New to MFP, but I'm glad I found your community. I just want to introduce myself as well as my goals, in hopes that it well help me with accountability! My name is Parker, I'm a 23 year old student who's getting married in less than 3 months. At my a couple months ago I was 298 pounds, I hopped on the keto train off and on, and am sitting at 265 right now. I'm 2 weeks into keto, no cheating, and I'm feeling really great. My goal is to hit 235 by my wedding day, a number I haven't seen on the scale since early highschool. I look forward to getting to know you all, as well as hopefully providing support for you. KCKO!4

Happy Friday everyone! I have derailed on a few meals throughout the week and I'm feeling the effects of it. A long weekend with some spring-like weather is on the horizon, so I am reminding myself that I need to keep on keeping on!! I refuse to let carb creepage in a few meals (not days, just meals!) destroy the progress I have been making (and most importantly FEELING), over the last 1.5 months!3

Hi everyone! What goals can I use in MFP for sodium and sugars? I am tracking carbs, fats and proteins and something kicked me out of ketosis yesterday. Today is a new day, I am optimistic to get back on the wagon...LOL0
-
Sodium 3-5,000 mg. Sugars as low as possible. Zero or incidental found in whole foods is preferable. That's why there are very little fruits that are keto approved. And even then you would want to only eat those a few times a week, if that.3

Hey there, starting Keto today , 2.20.17. I just want to become healthy and lose around 30 pounds. I hope this works out for me.3

Welcome! How did you start your first day?
I went a little off the wagon yesterday, 42 carbs...yikes! But I only ate about 1500 calories so I don't really feel bad about it. And it wasn't even bad stuff, I added coleslaw and some bbq sauce on a chicken leg.
MFP tells me "you'd be 219lbs in 5 weeks if you keep eating like this". I'm 239 right now...well thanks MFP!2 -
I love it when MFP tells me how much I'll lose!!4

Been doing keto since Jan 2, lost 17 pounds so far:)) still tweaking it because I am insulin resistant so I am trying to find the right combo to keep losing weight. And friends would be great to have!3

been stalled for a few weeks and today the scale finally started moving down again. So thankful. February was a tough month as I only lost 2lbs (18lbs the month before that). I am hoping that march goes much smoother. I have cut out my morning coffee and increased my water even more.2

So, how have your first couple of days been??Scochrane86 wrote: »been stalled for a few weeks and today the scale finally started moving down again. So thankful.

That's good to hear! All you did was cut morning joe? Wow, was it like super keto-fied, fat bomb proof coffee? All joking aside I'm interested, because I drink mine with just HWC and stevia and add little to my caloric or carb count.0 -
Just spent 48 hours with the 24 hour stomach bug! Yay {sarcasm}. About 12 hours in I realized that the B-R-A-T diet was not gonna work for me......I was left in a bit of a pickle and sadly without actual pickles. Alas I lived to tell the tale. I made if with several servings of broth from canned chicken noodle soup(what was in the house) and a slice and a half of wheat toast. I honestly didn't care about carb count, but still steered clear of extra carby stuff.
It makes me wonder though, how does a keto lifer survived a stomach virus? What are your "go to" keto approved survival bites? Or is there such a thing?0 -
@XavierNusum Dude, you upped your profile pic game...
I haven't gotten sick since I started, but when I do, its going to be a lot of liquids, diet ginger ale and buttered keto bread.2 -

ha, all it was is coffee and HWC (no sweetener, oil, butter, nothing) not sure if that is what was actually stalling me, or if it was a coincidence. I do love my coffee, but if I need to have it in the afternoon vs morning than I am ok with that.0 -

You know it may be the fasting aspect, if you're not having breakfast with that coffee. If mornings were just the coffee and now coffee is with lunch or just later in the day, it may be the extended fast. The HWC in my coffee is the only reason I don't consider myself fasting. Interesting.0
