Hiya!! New to Keto!

I've been on MFP for about a week and thought I should introduce m'self...

No stranger to weight issues, I lost 105lbs about 12 years ago and have managed to keep a great deal of it off--but there's about 35lbs that came and found me again!! I'm getting a little older (46) and worry that if I keep allowing myself to gain, it will be impossible to lose once I hit 50...I've recently had some "mechanical" issues--nerve pinches, hip joint problems, etc. that I know will only get worse if I can't take control now, so that's what I'm doing!! It's not so much about the weight loss as it is about the lifestyle change--my spouse and I went shopping a few weeks ago and what was in the cart at checkout was, well, EMBARRASSING!! Not to mention that he's having some issues with blood sugar so I decided, right then and there, that something needed to change and, like it or not, dear hubby is along for the ride!!

I've spent the last few weeks detoxing from sugar, wheat and pretty much most carbs...I've always thought the low carb lifestyles would fit more with what I naturally gravitate to, foodwise (unless I'm all hopped up on sugar...then that's all I want or need), so I've chosen to go keto and I'm amazed at how much energy and clarity I'm having, it's awesome.

Anyway, would love to hear from anyone on their own journey--especially if you're eating keto!
