    I'm starting on a 2 week keto challenge. I weighed in at 227.6 this morning. Eventual goal is to get to 175, so that's 50+ pounds to go.

    Start researching on YouTube. Look up Butter Bob Briggs. Start with his "Butter Makes Your Pants Fall Off" video and then watch other ones that may interest you. He is funny and down to earth and lost 150lbs on Ketogenic diet. Also, watch all of Dr. Jason Fung's interviews and videos. He will go over all the studies that show there is no correlation between dietary fat and coronary heart disease. Low fat high carb diets are the worst for metabolic and heart related issues. Also, Keto Christina is a vlogger I like. She lost a hundred pounds and is from Ireland. I can share my diary with you. Request me as a friend. My friends can see my food diary. I have lost 17.4 in 7 weeks. I will have lost 100 when I am at my goal.

    Hi, I have been Paleo with my husband for about 6 weeks (since May 27th). I feel AMAZING, have great energy and I am sleeping better but I really have not lost a ton of weight (a little, and I'll take it). My husband has lost quite a bit more. I've just finished Robb Wolf's new book (Wired to Eat) and I am thinking that trying keto is a good idea for me. I just started logging food again on MFP to see how far off I am on the carb count and will need to adjust!! Glad you started this thread @mrswinter14

    Hi all. I've been on MFP for awhile now (today is 158 days). Lost 31 so far. Was kind of stuck so started keto last week and in my first week of keto I'm down 4.8 lbs! It's good to see the scale move again. I have 29 more to go.

    Enough is enough.

    Day 3 keto here and my hardest challenge is milk... ugh 12g sugar! I just can't do almond :( it's not the saaaaame!

    Pasta and bread? Bye!
    Unexpected sugars?! Spotted! Bye!

    Hi,
    New to Keto and excited. I gained weight last year with a lot of stress. I'm focusing on myself for the first time in a long time.
    SW 185
    CW 178
    GW 135
    I am 4 weeks in. I was on holiday last week and that was tough. Slipping into light keto is painful. You get tired and hungry. I forgot how lame it feels to be off keto. I had one day of a super high when I was in deep keto and fasted. Wow! I want to feel like that all the time.
    That memory is motivating me.
    I still drink champagne and wine occasionally. I hope thats not messing me up.
    Favorite food/drink are my bullet coffee in the morning and
    salad with avocado oil, avocado, pumpkin seeds, and apple cider vinegar, lemon and salt.
    SOO YUMM. :)

    Hi Everyone! Just finished my first week of keto- it was a bit overwhelming the first few days- just because it's like the opposite of everything we've ever learned (food pyramid-lol)
    After I week, I'm feeling like I kinda-sorta know what I'm doing. I could use more friends, though.
    I keep my diary open, I ask that friends do too (not because I'm a stalker, it's just really helpful to see what regular people are eating vs. sample menus in magazines)...

    Starting weight (keto) 266
    Current weight 249
    Goal weight 155-160?

    I could use some friends to keep me accountable and to help with meal ideas. My diary is open.

    Hi All, I am getting back on track and would love some Keto friends as well during this Journey. I was first introduced to keto last fall, my brother has been following Keto WOE since Early September and has lost over 60# and maintaining.

    I started last (late) October, and was a keto machine, lost 12# and working towards my goal. I fell off the wagon pretty hard early Winter and apparently haven't been motivated to get back on track - that is until the past week I've been feeling sluggish again and then Saturday weighed myself...and cried. All of that hard work down the drain. The combo of just not following my WOE + 2 weeks in Jamaica at an all inclusive really blew all of my hard work.

    Anyway, so here I am, starting over, and hoping to make daily choices turn into habits.

    My way of following this WOE is "lazy Keto", and to me that means keeping net carbs UNDER 20 total, mod protein and higher fat if needed. I eat until full but stay under 1200 cals, I also believe in IIFYM, its game (to a certain point, as in: I allow Low Carb tortillas, fruits, etc as long as they fit my daily goals , but I am not actively trying to have sweets or sugars bc it may "fit" that day ).

    Im 35 years old, 5'10 and starting weight is 180.4 (This is the highest I have weighed in 11 years). My ultimate long term, maintenance goal is to be right around 150. I normally maintain 164ish but even at that weight wanted to drop a few pounds.

    I am re-booting today, keeping NC under 20 daily, getting in all of my supplements (collagen, B12 complex, electrolytes, Magnesium, fish oil, etc - some of which I have to take dt medical conditions), drinking my water and committing to at least 4 walks per week with husband and Pups!

    If you have similar goals or just looking to be accountable, send me a message or add me, I'd love to have other Keto friends!

    --and I promise, I'm not ALWAYS this wordy.

    KCKO!

    Hi guys! I've been doing Keto since July 5th. I'm down about 12 pounds. My starting was 300.6 my goal is to just feel healthy and comfortable. I want to be about 160-170. I wish I had started this when I first heard about it but I was such a skeptic. So here's to my new way of eating. Feel free to add me!
