Good morning and Happy New Year to all! I am not new to MFP but am new to the keto diet.
Please feel free to add me. I could use as much encouragement as possible. Stress is what has been keeping me from reaching my goal. I would like to lose 60 lbs in 2018 and more if possible.

I just had this conversation with my husband yesterday! If he sees me eating something I'm not supposed to be eating, he's been instructed to swat it out of my hands, ninja style!

I will try to keep up this challenge. I had gotten down to 250, but after taking the last 2 weeks off and eating and drinking whatever I wanted, I wasn’t surprised by my number this morning. I suspect I’ll lose quite a few pounds quickly to start because of that. My goal will be to lose 12 pounds this month. Not sure if I’ll weigh in every week or just once a month, but I’ll be here reading everyone’s posts trying to keep my motivation up.

I started Keto 5 days ago. The first 2 days were hard fighting the sugar cravings. I will say that after reading and educating myself before stating helped me. I recommend "the complete ketogenic diet for beginners" is AWESOME! Buy keto strips! They help motivate by showing where my body is on the ketosis scale.

I totally agree! I was doing mine in increments of 10. Now I do them in increments of 11 just because I like the numbers better lol (255, 244, 233, etc.) I started at 290 and those increments are life savers when I have to get all the way to 165. Down 55 so far with 70 to go! Good luck to you on your journey!!! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!! Gonna start hitting the gym. My goals are going to be much smaller now. I'm nervous I will get discouraged once I start working out because the numbers are going to slow down. So I'm gonna take pictures to make sure I can still see a difference. I was 146 yesterday. My goal for the month is to get to 140. But if i start getting my butt back that will be achievement enough haha1

I used the keto strips while doing Atkins years ago, and have decided not to use them this time around. They are not always accurate, you have to use them at the right time and people get obsessive about it. Just know if you are doing the diet as it should be done, the weight will come off. I started 5 days ago getting back onto the Keto train. I did it slowly just because I knew that this works better for me. I had surgery back in May and took some time to heal. Did not gain any weight back although the scales would bounce up and down a few pounds which are common anyway. For me, the scales and measuring tell the story of how you are doing. My scales keep me accountable. And the inches lost and how my clothes feel makes me excited to keep going. I am down 6 lbs as of this morning. So this tickles me pink
Congratulations on the getting into Ketos, after you get through the first few weeks you will not be disappointed.0 -

Hi all you need to do is post your weight! We usually try to post Sundays but some people post other days, depends on what suits, others may decide just to post at the beginning and the end, up to you, the great thing is there is lots of support and having to, or at least feeling I should, post keeps me motivated and more or less on track! I think that's the case for lots of us! Good luck, you've made a nice start

You're correct; that weight should come off quickly which will be motivating in it's own right!0 -
