Hi! I'm Ashley! I'm 23 years old, a momma of a sweet little boy, work hard as a dental assistant , and live in good 'ol VA!
....I've recently just started following this Ketogenic diet I heard about from a guy that lost 140 pounds in less than a year...that's insane, right? ..but he swears by keto and he's convinced me to give it a whirl...
..I'm looking for other keto people to follow on MFP. We can keep each other motivated and inspired! ....I'm hoping to loose at least 50pounds by April,2016...(I'm a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding..I need to look gooood!)

...so if you're keto (or not), Lets be friends! :)

    The Low Carber Daily and Keto groups will have many keto'ers and low carbers to chat with. There aren't many keto'ers around the main board.

    Good luck!! Remember to increase your salt intake in the first few weeks.

    Where are those forums nvmomketo? Are they outside of MFP? I don't see them.

    Hi there, I've done keto before... Its truly the fastest and best way I lose weight and actually keep it off. I went a little nuts off keto, so I gained weight, but you have to eat everything under the sun to do that LOL. The best thing is that you're never hungry on keto. If anything, I'm trying to eat more to get to my daily calorie minimum. Fat intake keeps you nice and full. Feel free to add me. :) Good luck!

    I just started my Keto diet on Monday. I started out around 170lbs, would like to lose 20lbs. My current BMI is 26.6..

    My start weight was somewhere around 185-190. I am now 156. That took me about 3.5 months. Losses have slowed to 1lb per week now that I am at a normal BMI. (I am 5'8")

    Make sure to increase your sodium. Low salt is the main cause of the "keto flu". 3000-5000mg is a good level of sodium. Drinking broth or salted water will help.

    Good luck.
