    I'm in! I've lost 6.2 pounds for the month of December! So here's hoping I'll manage to do the same or better for the month of January! I'm only going to weigh in at the end of the month though. I've decided to have my kid hide my scale on me until Jan 31st. Weighing in stresses me out! LOL! So here are my stats:

    Dec 31st: 195.4
    Jan 31st: 189.2 or better! B)

    Any favorite sites for recipes or jump start plans? I have done keto before and lost, but could never stick with it. Think planning is key for me as I am mom of 4 and business owner, often just caught hungry.

    New to Keto and struggling with PCOS, low progesterone and hypothyroidism. Doctor suggested Keto to combat the 20lbs I’ve gained since January 2017 (and tackle those cravings!)

  • Hi I’d like to join!

    This is my first time joining a group in MyFitnessPal! I hope I can figure it out.

    I’ve done keto before and lost but gained it back again. This time it’s staying off.

    I’m 38

    keto start 11/25/17 SW 254
    12/31 241.2

    Keto has helped me keep my cravings in control. Before starting I would buy something, eat some then go back later and eat the rest. Now I can easily say no to something I would previously binge on. I also got used to drinking my coffee black. I tried heavy cream but that was not for me. I used to do a lot of half n half, I never did add sugar. What I found was that the half and half would affect me later with bad food choices. It was easier than I expected to drink my coffee black. I have always preferred salty or savory over sweet. For me it was bagels, white cheddar popcorn and chips. I could eat whole bags of popcorn and chips. Now when I feel hungry, I have the time to make some eggs or something else. Before I would look for something quick and usually carby to eat right away. I haven't felt this good in a long time.

    Newbie here. Just started keto 5 days ago though I've been on MFP off and on for about 2 years now. I should mention that I am eating at maintenance as I am breastfeeding and hoping that will be enough deficit without lowering my milk supply. Good luck everyone!

    Good morning and Happy New Year to all! I am not new to MFP but am new to the keto diet.
    Please feel free to add me. I could use as much encouragement as possible. Stress is what has been keeping me from reaching my goal. I would like to lose 60 lbs in 2018 and more if possible.

    I just had this conversation with my husband yesterday! If he sees me eating something I'm not supposed to be eating, he's been instructed to swat it out of my hands, ninja style! :smile:

    I will try to keep up this challenge. I had gotten down to 250, but after taking the last 2 weeks off and eating and drinking whatever I wanted, I wasn’t surprised by my number this morning. I suspect I’ll lose quite a few pounds quickly to start because of that. My goal will be to lose 12 pounds this month. Not sure if I’ll weigh in every week or just once a month, but I’ll be here reading everyone’s posts trying to keep my motivation up.

    I started Keto 5 days ago. The first 2 days were hard fighting the sugar cravings. I will say that after reading and educating myself before stating helped me. I recommend "the complete ketogenic diet for beginners" is AWESOME! Buy keto strips! They help motivate by showing where my body is on the ketosis scale.
