Hi! Long story short I did Keto about 5 years ago and got to the most fit I have ever been. I had surgery to remove the excess skin on my arms and stomach and gained about 20lbs back. I am doing Keto again to get that weight gone for good. Im looking for some supportive friends who are doing keto or low carb.

    @VictoriaHazelwood I have been doing Keto since Oct 2014 by eating 50 or less grams of carbs most of the time. For pain management I did cut out all foods containing any sweeteners and or any form of any grain so that makes Keto pretty easy in my case. I only track by weighing from time to time and basically eat all that I now want. I have maintained a 50 pound weight loss for four years now. At the age of 68 I know someday I may forget how to count so I don't do it in my case. With better health and health markers at 68 than at 38 the Way Of Eating is a low brainer for me. Best of continued success since you know Keto works if we work it. :)

    I’ve done whole 30 and lost 20 pounds but just to gain it all back. Fell of the wagon and hard!! I’m getting on this now and I am getting this done. Feel free to add me as well! It’s so hard to diet when everyone around you is eating the good stuff. Makes it that much harder to stay on a program. How do you like Keto?

    Adding you! About to incorporate IF myself sometime this week. Been watching lots of Thomas delauer on Youtube as well. Seems a lot of people are confused about what Keto really is ans how it's done.

    Started a KETO/low carb lifestyle January 1st. I’m down 35 lbs since and feel so much better generally. I can’t quite get to KETO numbers, but my carbs are usually around 10% of my calories. I’ve been losing and gaining the same 30 lbs for the last 10 years. Determined to make this a life-long commitment.

    @samuelsson What kind of sick? Was it related to your nutrition?

    Started IF and Keto 2 months ago and have lost 26lbs. I started tracking my food again yesterday. Truly, the only thing that has ever worked for me has been limiting carbs and removing added and artificial sugars. I have an open diary for friends.

    I eat a very low carb keto! I'm a diabetic, but control it with diet and exercise. No medication. The primary carbs I eat are fruits (extremely limited), vegetables, and nuts. I have dairy goats and make our cheese and yogurt, but only in small amounts. I have lost over 40 pounds and want to lose about 40 more. I am working so hard....would love a keto friend! My diary is open :)

    It’s so hard to diet when everyone around you is eating the good stuff. Makes it that much harder to stay on a program.

    Honestly, I had to relearn what the "good stuff" really is!! Now, after five years, I see a beautiful bowl of fruit salad and I feel like a queen! You really are not missing out when you eat properly... your body just has to readjust, after the falsified "good stuff" out there. Best of luck! :)
