Hello all! I am a 37 year old mom of a darling 9 month old boy. I need to be able to keep up with him as he continues to grow, and being the size that I am... that is impossible right now. So, I talked to a dietician and am now on a journey of a low carb woe. Eventually I may join the Keto crowd, but my carb intake was SO high, I am just aiming for around 100 total carbs per day atm, (not net). I am looking for myfitnesspal friends who are on the same journey, have around 75+ pounds they wish to loose or/and have had great success on a low carb woe. :)

    Hi! Please add me if you'd like. I just started a low carb diet this past week and am already down 7 lbs! I'm pretty new at the low carb thing myself but if you'd like support, add me. I'm about 40lbs from my goal, am down about 30 from my highest.

    I am unsure why they would suggest low carb if you're not diabetic or have a medical condition. Ultimately if you found a protein and fat goal that keeps you satiated the number of carbs after that wouldn't matter. A strict 100 doesnt make sense if you find a macro goal that allows more within your calories

    My family is prone to diabetes, and I have been border line all my life. I get sugar crashes often, and so far a lower carb woe has been working for me. :)

    My goal is to stay under 150 carbs per day. The lower the better, but, it is hard to give them up. Diabetes runs in my family too, 2 generations that I am aware of. I have already been diagnosed with pre-diabetes. So, I am trying to be more mindful with carb choices, and just choices in general. It is not easy.

    Hello and welcome. I suggest you check out the main low carber daily forum group here in MFP. It's one of several groups where most of us Ketophiles tend to hang out:
