    @baconslave I am on my computer now, but I typically access the MFP app. Are there two different methods? Can I do both from each device for convenience? Thank you for the response!

    @2012 newbie. Well, I definitely try to balance my net carbs. Problem I have found in the past that, for me, and again this could be due to PCOS, if I go too LOW...I stall or gain. I know, it's weird. Like yesterday I sat at 5% gross carbs. Still, I lost a pound (this is good, I admit). Now, the proof will be tomorrow morning. If I've gained then I may need to up my carbs. Now, upping my fats is another conundrum. When I purposed to have a "fat bomb" to help up the percentage...I gained. Guh....

    Simply, my body gains weight. Period. LOL....I'm convinced.

    Seriously, though, I do think that I need to continue to work my macros. I think that 1300 is a bit too low, while clearly 15% deficit at 1800 is a bit too high. I may work with 1500 this coming week and see how that is...bottom line, if I don't gain, then yay. If I lose, then yay.

    Honestly? I'm really struggling with the exact macros that work well with MY body. I either have issue hitting my macros precisely, or my calories....I mean, I will keep working on it....that and balance more food options so I am not bored with them :)

    Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep you posted...

    Hi Keto supporters!

    If you are a daily diary feeder, Please add me :)
    It would be great help to view daily diaries of friends who follow a Ketogenic diet.

    Thanks so much

    Sorry it took so long.

    For the app:
    Tap the menu button. You'll have to scroll a little. Tap Community.
    On the next screen will be a list of Main Forums. Scroll down and you will see My Groups. The Low Carber group will be there to tap. Alternately, you can access it through one of the pics in the nav bar at the top. Tap the little message box (furthest to the left). It will list Forums, Recent, My Discussions, and Groups. Tap Groups and it will directly take you to your group list.

    For the site:
    Similar concept. Click Community. It will take you to a list of the Main Forum names. Scroll down further and you will find the Group list. You could also just skip straight to the group list by clicking Groups on the nav menu at the top of the page.

    I wish there were easier ways to get there. But that's the site/app functionality.

    Now, if you star threads you are interested in following in your groups, then the site/app will keep track of them by bookmarking them for you just like in the Main Forums. The bell in the app nav bar (app), and the bell on the upper right on the site, will display when you have notifications from the Main Forums or Groups.

    I switch back and forth all day between the site and app, and it keeps up.

    Hi all - I officially started following a ketogenic plan on Jan 19th. Anyone else that is doing keto please feel free to add me. Also, I belong to a wonderful keto facebook group that is very supportive and offers a lot of help and inspiration.

    I am on my 3rd week of Keto. I was on Whole30 previously and had some success. I am struggling with Keto, but I'm trying to give it 100%. I'd love to get some advice, support etc.

    @alabamaworley89 which group? I looked for one on FB but didn't know which was good. There's a zero carb one there. Not good. The low carb group here is super helpful.

    @tinat30 did you see the link on the first page ? I may joined them and they've already helped me a bit :)
