I've been a member of this forum for a few months now, and have commented on a few threads, but I've never introduced myself. I joined this group after starting a moderately low carb diet, and after reading all of the valuable information and insight you wonderful people have provided — plus doing a little research — I decided to experiment with a ketogenic diet. I'm a week into it, and I'm finding it surprisingly easier than I expected. I never imagined I would be satisfied cutting carbs down so low, but I'm not missing them much at all. I even avoided pizza at a family gathering this past weekend. (Well, I did eat the cheese and pepperonis off of half a slice!)

I wanted to thank you all for how supportive and encouraging you are. It's refreshing to see this on internet forums. I'm looking for more active MFP friends who are also doing low-carb/keto, so please feel free to add me!
