Welcome, @gambigirl. I'm in my 3rd year of going rogue, er, I mean lchf/keto. I've lost half of myself along the way but gained so much more life to my days. Add me if you'd like!

Hi I've been on MyFitnessPal for over a month now and just figured out where to send a reply to the postings! I've got about 100 lbs total to lose am down 19 of those at this point. Add me if you would like!

Hi, Gambigirl and everyone else! I started Keto close to two weeks ago and am still figuring it all out -- and loving it. I have much to learn but am sticking to basic protein/carb/fat ratios, am logging my food intake and exercise, and so far, so good. I'm taking some supplements, as well and, most important, have ramped up my walking and started a circuit-training class, which I love. Wonderful people, no judgment. I have close to 60 pounds left to go, having lost 25 since January. Anyway, I'm liking keto because, honestly, my cravings (fingers crossed) are GONE. Would love to friend anyone in this group; root one another on!

Add me to your list. I have 100 lbs to lose. Although as of Monday only 76. I hit my first 10%down on just 9 weeks averaging 2.66lbs a week with virtually no exercise. Watch Butter Bob Briggs YouTube videos as well as those of Keto Christine. They have lost 150lb and 100lbs respectively. You can do this and you don't need any special books or meal plans. It's soooo simple. Just program you MFP app for 5%carbs, 15% protein and 80%fat. Fat is your friend. Drill that into your head. You can only have 20 carbs no matter what it says with the 5%. Just remember to adjust that mentally in your head as you track. My diet diary is open to the public. Almost everyday for the past 9 months I have enjoyed 2-3 slices of bacon or other breakfast meat and 2-3 eggs with or without vegetables and cheese. This is the yummiest diet there is. Once your body goes into ketosis and starts burning all the abundant calories you have in storage you won't even feel hungry and all those carb cravings will disappear. Never in my life have I felt like this. God bless. Add me if you would like. Don't tell anyone what you are doing. Just let them see the results. The Standard American diet crowd of lo gay high carb just eat a little less and exercise more people have a heart attack when you tell them how much fat you eat. You can't tolerate carbs if you are severely overweight. Keto and intermittent fasting will have almost anyone off of most of their mess in a month.

You can add me as well! I'm on my second week of Keto and I just now discovered these forums!

Hi! I'm on day 6 in my Keto groove! And I have lost almost 6 lbs in that time! This is absolutely amazing & food is actually yummy. I don't feel deprived- it's fantastic!! Feel free to add me!!
