Hi everyone, I'm new here! I'm 23 years old and looking to lose about 50 pounds without crash dieting. Hopefully I can meet some friends to help stay accountable and encourage each other. I was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, which really opened my eyes to new ways of eating better and taking care of myself.

    Hello!~ I'm only 19 so hopefully you don't mind but I'd like a friend to help keep me accountable too! I developed an eating disorder last year and lost a lot of weight as a result. I've got my eating habits back under control though and I'm hoping to get back into a balanced diet and lose the rest of this body fat so I can finally be happy with my body. I only have less than 25 pounds left to go, let's gooooo!

    I've dropped 50ish pounds since August with keto. Mainly because it would have taken me about 4,000 calories a day to maintain my weight and I fell way below that with low carb high-fat eating. Since then my activity level has increased, and now I would need closer to 4400 calories to maintain my weight, so the weight loss has actually sped up a little bit, which I did not see coming.

    One of the reasons I thought keto would be good for me is because I have a lot of people in my family who are type 2 diabetics. Folks around here where I live are starting to hop on the keto train with me if they have a few pounds to lose. They can't believe the difference cutting carbs has made. Honestly, I can barely believe it myself.

    I am looking to get back on track... lost 75lbs on keto and it' slowly creeping back on... looking to do a reset, possibly an egg fast for 5-6 days. readjusted goals to when I first started... no more diet sodas, back to water. I do bootcamp 4-5x week and yoga 2x week. I wish everyone the best and feel free to add me! My diary is public.
