in Introduce Yourself
Hi I'm not 'new' to My Fitness Pal or lo carb eating as I have tried both before. I had minimal success with LC and none with MFP as I never found any friends but I have decided it is never too late to try again. I let me stressful life get in the way of doing what I know is right and works, I let my spouse sabatoge me and my depression get the better of me.....NOT ANYMORE!

I have re-started my low carb eating plan and re-started my MFP account and I am looking for friends.

    Feel free to add me, I'm not particularly chatty but I do 'like' status updates and am paying attention even if it seems like I'm not. if you ask a question on your status I'll answer if I feel I have something that can help, or something that helped me. I tend to eat low carb since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

    I am not new to MFP and had great success several years ago going from 139 to 99. (I am very tiny) Then bang. I gained back 30 lbs. I can't get into any of my pretty new clothes. I am very depressed. Low carb works for me. I am here everyday and sometimes I am chatty and sometimes not. Please add me.

    Add me if you want. I'm restarting Paleo/Primal, which can be low carb if I want it to be.

    Add me as well. Could use suggestions for low carb ideas for lunches and ideas to re[place string cheese as snacks that would have no carbs or lower then 3 grams of carbs but would be healthy and quick.

    Hey there, I just started low carb eating (day 2) and I'm feeling pretty good about it so far. I'm adjusting what I'm eating here and there to make sure I'm getting the right nutrients. I get feed back from both ends, they nay sayers and the pat on the back type. Add me and we can keep each other going! :D

    Hi! I am a repeat offender as well. Low carb has worked well for me in the past but life keeps getting in my way. That just means I am not strong in the face of stress and big emotions... Add me and will do my best to stay connected. I am tired of being fat and tired.

    Low carb is going well for me. I haveave been doing it for a little over a month and have lost 10 pounds. When stressed I find myself missing my pay day candy bars and donuts but can not control those foods so I do not eat them at all any more. As well as no pasta or breads or potatoes . Eating out can be tricky but have found restraubts that have awesome salads that fit my diet

    I'm a 25 year old single mom of a 4 year old. Never managed to lose the pregnancy weight. I've been doing keto for 2 weeks now and already am noticing huge differences in how my clothes fit. But I'm always looking for keto resources, recipes and motivation!! Feel free to add me :)

    I'm in the same boat as you. I was on mfp and low carb last year, I was 10stone 10 pounds in September and went up to 11st 5 in Jan. Since starting back on MFP I've gone down to 11st 2 and I've just began trying to cut carbs (although I had bread with my breakfast this morning

    Add me too! I need more mfp friends. I've been doing low carb since early December. The only thing that helps me with my hypothyroidism! I cut out gluten too but still have days where I go out to eat and don't follow this.

    Low carb is one of the only things that works for me. I just started back on MFP again after 2 years. I had great success, but then started slacking....now I'm up almost 20 lbs again. Nope. Time to get back on track. I have to fit in a wedding dress in 6 months

    Hey, I've been on mfp since Jan and I've managed to lose 19lb so far. I need to start thinking about a low carb diet but I know i'm really going to find it difficult to cut out bread and potatoes and find some sort of alternative. I'm vegetarian and carbs make up the bulk of my meals. Ideas and support from people finding success with the low carb thing would be great, I honestly get a bit upset by the thought of no more hot buttered toast for breakfast :D
