edited 7:41PM in Motivation and Support
Hi all! I've been following keto for about 9 months. I was really good at first and then summer rolled around and I cheated way too much. Since then, I've had a good amount if stress in my life that has totally broken my motivation. I'm looking to get back on the horse and find friends who also need motivation, support, and want to swap recipes and tips.

    Definitely one of the disadvantages of keto is not being able to cheat without getting kicked out of ketosis and needing to start all over again. I've finally figured out it just isn't worth it! Would love to have a motivation buddy. I've only been keto for a month and just hit the elusive keto energy haha My workouts are finally back to where they were. So glad I stuck it out!

    I am interested in learning the keep way. I am realizing alit of what I would cut out are things causing me headaches and fatigue and such. I am wondering how long it will take tovfeek the keto energy. Been on MFP a few years, never consistently, and always heavier than the last time I checked in. I think I need some buddies.

    Started Keto last week. Losing but don't think I have hit ketosis. The more the merrier though. You can all feel free to add me.

    @slimsazzle Keto is a process where your body learns to burn fat instead of carbs. It's call ketosis. The easiest and quickest way to explain it would be atkins only better and longer. Basically low carbs (under 20gm a day in net carbs) and high fat. You get a lot of your carbs through leafy greens etc and can eat almost any kind of meat.
    As you get further into the diet you can make your own breads etc with almond and coconut flour. You are also cutting down on sugars.

    I’m looking to start keto Jan 1, so I’m doing my homework now. Can anyone recommend a legit keto calculator? I have no idea what my macros should be. I’ve done a few online calculators and gotten totally different results! And they all ask me questions I don’t know the answer to! Like “what percent body fat are you?” And I’m like I have no idea!!!!

    That is the recommended calculator. Judge body fat by photo comparison if you don't have a device to measure with! They have linked a page of comparison photos on the website!

    Attempting keto again. I always end up binging carbs around day 5-9. Am I neglecting something or is foggyness and carb craving normal around these days.

    Ok, this going to sound lame, but how do I add people?! I'm 4 days into keto and would love a bunch of people to chat with, keep up with, and keep me going.

    Feel free to add. I've been low carb/keto since March. (Though I took June off due to softball travel & then September just the weekends) I've been struggling a little here and there this past month and could use some extra strength in numbers.

    Hello everyone! I've been on keto (casually- not worrying about macros, just cooking keto style) for 11 months now, and I've lost 55 pounds. I've started to see my weight stall out and decided I needed to get serious about following the macros now so I've got the calculators set up at MyFitness and we'll see how I do. Besides losing the weight, I've also seen my cholesterol numbers plummet (except the good one- that went up!) and my blood sugar is much lower. My A1C went from 8.0 in January to 6.4 a couple of weeks ago too. This is a fabulous way to lose weight!

    I just started keto a week ago, still sluggish but excited about the results so far. I have STRUGGLED to lose even one pound in forever. This week, I lost seven! SEVEN?!?! I still am in disbelief. I am sure the weight loss will slow down as my body adjusts, but I am A-Okay with that. I did cave yesterday and have a Cliff bar.

    Day 13 of keto. I have had a small relapse last week and it was totally my fault but I am down 12 pounds and overall find it very easy to follow.
