    I too was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the end of 2015 and lost over 40 lbs and pushed it back to PRE-DIABETES but need to dump about 30 more lbs now to really get into healthy range. I have been eating quasi low carb (still eat yogurt etc) high protein since my start in 10-2015. But would love to be added. I took somewhat of a break since about March of my stringent dieting but now need to get back on it and finish up to reach my goal.

    Add me as well :) I have been trying different ways of eating without taking my pcos into consideration. Found out I am also insulin resistant so low carb and high fat is the way to go for me. This will be day 1 for me, I went grocery shopping planned some meals and snacks (if needed) and i purchased Ketone test strips to keep track of my ketones. I have 130 lbs to lose and its hard because I have no one here in the same boat as me.

    please add me, I've been eating low carb/low sugar since June 19th and have lost 15 pounds. My best friend has been doing it since February and have lost about 65 pounds. She's restricting her calories to 1,200 per day, I am not watching my calorie intake.

    I'm not sure if this board is still active, but I just started LC this week - still working through what I can eat - surprises me how many carbs are in some things! Please add me if still active - would love some ideas!

    Sounds great! You'll have to give me all your tips and tricks. I like to think that I don't eat a lot of bread but if I really stop to think about it I have bread everyday, usually twice a day. It'll be rough to knock that out of my diet.

    Hi! I've tried a keto diet in the past and it worked wonders for me. I'm trying to get back on track (since have succumbed to carb-ey pizza in the past few days) and I try to log everything I eat, as well as share uptades about my daily successes and struggles. Feel free to add me, everyone! <3

    I want to join, I feel so hard to keep below 30g carb. I can only make it below 100g. I have no weight loss for 2-3 weeks already, feel frustrated

    I went just under 50 grams of carbs daily and did not lose the first pound for the first six weeks but I do eat at more like 2500 calories daily still two years later. I started losing inches long before the scales started to drop after 6 weeks of LCHF.

    @tamhiuwa consider eating a 100 grams for the first 4 weeks then try to decrease it by 10 grams weekly. Remember you do NOT have to be in nutritional ketosis do decrease premature death risks. After age 25-30 I think I started to lose metabolic flexibility. I was 63 and in a fast health decline so getting back to having metabolic flexibility took longer in my case.

    Keep in mind KETO is not my #1 goal but living longer and being walking and talking until the last day of my life is my #1 goal. Getting below 50 grams of carbs daily will happen in time but give it 90 days or more. I use coconut and MTC oil to make ketones that is not dependent on eating <50 grams of carbs daily.

    In case you are new here. There is lots of really good advice, support and study backed information from the LCD group. Since there are 30,000 +, there are a great many people doing this diet for health reasons, like PCOS and prediabetes and diabetes. Lots of success stories too. No reason why you can join both!

    Good luck to all and as @GaleHawkins says, you can decrease your carbs gradually for those who want to go more slowly. Or jump in with both feet. If you drop your carbs a great deal suddenly, you probably should read about increasing your salt consumption.
