Since I'm new here, I thought it would be fun to see where everyone is from & how long each person has been living low carb. Sorry if this has been done tons.

I'm from Minnesota USA, on my 1st week.

And you?

    Scotland here, grew up in the US though. Been low carbin' for about 10 years since diagnosed as T2 diabetic, but it was never consistent until I went ketogenic 9 months ago, at which point my life changed in the most positive way ever!

    Florida! The sweaty state ;)

    Uhmm ... I am going "lower" carb for right now. It's been an adjustment for me getting things set. I will be interested to see when I get myself straight where it all leads :)

    Welcome to the group. :)

    Alberta, Canada
    I've been mostly keto levels of LCHF for about a year and a half. I lost about 40lbs doing it but some crept back on so I'm probably closer to 30lbs down.

    LOL I want that for my night-time gluconeogenesis. That would be a great dawn phenomenon killer.

    On another Island near Vancouver, B.C.

    Started LC about 4 months ago. I eat moderate amounts of fat, depending on hunger levels, but I like to keep my carbs at around 30 each day. So far, so good.

    Colorado's Front Range area.
    MFP for over two years. I used to follow the Zone diet 40/30/30, but beginning of Aug. switched to Atkins 20 foodie plan, did two weeks of induction and am currently slowly upping carbs, I hope to get to 50-75 nc per day without upsetting my weight loss efforts. Loving the control I feel now when it comes to food.
