Was Keto for about 7 months, then fell off the wagon for a couple of months ... Back on LCHF Keto for 4 weeks now.1 -
I'm from Connecticut. I just started keto last week. Yesterday was my first day below 30g. Back in 2007 I started on the Blood Type Diet for type O, which is sort of paleo, but it allows some grains, dairy and legumes. Also, I don't do ham/pork/bacon.0

7 months low carb. Just found this group a few weeks ago. I'm a pescatarian doing LCHF so there's a lot of yogurt and peanut butter in my life.

Southern Idaho, yah I know potatoes...actually it is a beautiful state with amazing recreational opportunities and really...not that many potatoes lol
I went LCHF April 5 after spending months researching how weight loss works and why I couldn't lose weight anymore. I'm down 48 lbs. and counting. Our kids are out of the house and hubby is on board with this woe so its been an easy transition. I think the thing that amazed me the most is my cravings for junk and chocolate have disappeared. I never thought that would happen!

Chicago IL suburb. I went LCHF in February of this year to force/encourage my husband to lose weight and get his diabetes under control. He fought me at first, but now that he sees huge improvement, he is totally on board. I am an endurance athlete (half marathons, marathons and triathlons) so I am constantly getting carb loading advice from the running world. LC not in the mainstream there at least not in my town.1

Also SoCal - pretty close to @genmon00 actually (I think?). Been LCHF for 16 months - tried keto and did it poorly so I failed somewhere in there - been doing a well-formulated keto diet for about 3 months now though and it's been light years better than my previous experience.2

@Phrick I wish I was closer! I live like 3 hours southeast of you, 30 minutes to Mexico/45 minutes to Arizona.now I'm in the boondocks lol2 -
I'm in Florida.
Paleo-ish under 100g started probably 3.5-4 years ago.
Keto level low carb, started nearly 3 years ago.
Carnivore--approx. 0g carbs including 0g fiber--for over two years (not counting some falling off the wagon after my father-in-law died). The next step will be to create a machine that sucks carbs out of my body. LOL, negative carbs each day.
Let me know when that machine is ready!!!

I'm in Northern Wyoming by way of Seattle. Keto for about 18 months or so. I had a severe gall bladder attack in March and wasn't able to each much fat so.......anyway, gall bladder out, made everything else wacky with the extra bile so I fell off the wagon-hard! Still trying to get back on!!! It's a struggle.2

I want to come visit you! Scotland is my dream vacay!
Mom of five, happy wife of one, live in Vermont, been doing this two years on and off (I go off during major surgeries, had two shoulders and a thyroidectomy during these two years, all with severe complications).
Back on right now for the past three weeks, down 12 pounds this time so far. Strongly dedicated to staying here for a long long time till at goal weight. Finally feeling heathy and starting to make progress in every way.
Oh, I should add my macros. 10% carbs/25% protein/65% fat. I usually shoot for 20-30 net grams of carbs a day.1 -
Missouri here!
I am just starting week 2 of low carb. Still confused, but working on it1 -

Meeting up with other low-carbers isn't weird. I know many carnivores (mostly off this group), and we have what we call "meat-ups" where we get together and hang out with people in the general region we live in. I've only been to one myself, but there have been several around the country.
It would be cool to have a get together with like minded people. Granted, it was a little scary. My wife was pretty convinced that we were going to get ax-murdered (at a Brazilian steakhouse no less).

NE Ohio (the first 4 letters of my screen name). Some form of low carb since 10/2/2015 - keto part of the time, but I'm not tracking specifically.
- 1200 calorie Low Carb, moderate protein (with the remainder of the calories made up by fat). 10/2 - 3/27
- 800 calorie Blood Sugar diet (attempt to put diabetes into remission) - reduced fat calories 3/28 - 5/8 (terminated 2 weeks early due to cancer)
- Low Carb, moderate protein (with the remainder of the calories made up by fat) - I didn't track calories - just made sure my carbs were not over 20 net/2 hr period. I maintained my weight during this period 5/9 - 8/28
- 800 calorie Blood Sugar diet (finishing the attempt to put diabetes into remission) 8/29 - 10/3
Weight loss: 72.9 lbs - I'm now at my lowest adult weight. (BMI 22.4)
I'm not actively seeking to lose more weight, but it will likely be a consequence of following the diet that has been found, for some people, to induce diabetic remission. I appear to be making progress on putting diabetes in remission - a good portion of every day is spent in the 70-80 range. That did not happen in the first 6 weeks on the BSD. Most fasting readings are also in that range. We'll see.
(Note: I'm not recommending the VLC diet I'm currently following for weight loss, and definitely recommend against it unless it is targeted at a specific medical goal (in my case trying to put diabetes in remission), followed only if there are no medical contraindications, and preferably with doctor's approval and monitoring. My next doctor's review is early October.

I've been SLOW (not low) carb for about 14 years. Long before Tim Ferris "coined the term", which he didn't of course.
