    Same here! Over 55, keto about 7 weeks and down 14 pounds...all of it since starting Keto. I initially did low carb with an Adkins try but found Keto most effective. Would love a support group.

    Hi everyone, I am 61 and began my Keto quick start with the, "Fasting Mimicking Diet" discussed on one of Dr. Darren Schmidt YouTube videos (https://youtu.be/ZvBM5Ql2OOE) yesterday. He suggest starting with this plan for five days to get into Ketosis quickly. Many get into Ketosis with in 24 hours. He recommends using a Ketosis blood monitor because it is more accurate than urine strips.

    Besides consuming the avocados and green drink, I added coffee and cream (Trader Joe's French Roast coffee concentrate 2.5 oz, water 5 oz, heavy cream 1 T, and Stevia 3/4 t).

    I'm 56 and 7 weeks into Keto for the first time. I've lost 20 lbs, but seemed to have stalled. I suspect too much fat and too many carbs, even though I thought I was doing it correctly. I'd love to be part of a support group! A little about me: I have about 70 more lbs to lose. The profile pic was when I first joined MFP, and then disappeared. I reappeared with about 30 extra pounds. If someone can figure out how to start a support group/forum with various topics that can be posted in, that would be awesome!
