Some of you have been doing Keto for quite awhile, and others have just begun. What motivates you to start and what keeps you going?

    Been eating this way for about 17 months--frustrated right now, been sick for a month, and feel stuck. Starting to work out again but maybe need to drop calories or just up fat again.

    Oh, haha, missed the real question--was tired of being fat and sick. Period. Lost 30 pounds quickly, then another 30 over a 9 month period. Never able to lose much weight until I found this diet, and I am so amazed at 60 that I can lose lots of weight and improve my life & health so well! And not suffer (and it isn't true suffering to skip the pasta & cupcakes!).

    The energy that you get from being carb and sugar along with keto being a diet that can make you FEEL full so no ups & downs is what motivates me!

    I was tired of feeling (and looking) like CRAP. Started clean eating and LC, lost almost 20 lbs, but wanted to really commit and try keto to work on a long-term struggle with depression. I'm on day 8 and am still adjusting, but can already feel a mental fog has been lifted. Wanting to continue that feeling of clarity and improve my health are keeping me motivated.

    Just starting the keto change. I'm on day 6. And working with my doctor on this plan. I've got to get my weight under control. It seems like I have to have a very strict plan to follow and that I need to be accountable to someone besides myself. I know I can do this, I did it once before about 10 years ago with LA Weight Loss; but I've gained it all back. Disappointing. But courage going forward.

    What motivates me??? is remembering how awesome my brain feels on keto.. self esteem, good mood, mental focus and acuity. I just don't work like that on carbs.
