    Hi everyone! I’ve been doing keto since 10/30, and so far have had really good results!!! I’ve lost over 15 lbs so far (also hooray I survived Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!)!!!!

    I’m still not sure if I’m going to keep this as a total lifestyle change, or just to get down to my goal weight! Howeverrrrr I have good motivation, because my wedding is coming up- April 28, 2018!

    Posting my food on MFP has really really helped hold me accountable! Feel free to friend request me on here, it totally helps when you see others completing their food journals, when they see you logging exercise, etc! Happy 2018!!!!!

    was keto for over 3 years and was at 12% body fat until some surgeries. I'd love to get back into it... dang it, my weakness is ice cream! Two years later...
    I want my lower abs back.

    I started today; so I'll jump in on the weekly weigh ins!

    Hoping this group will stay positive-as it seems SO many of the community boards become rude or often shame others :neutral:

    Hello! I started Keto for 'realsies' yesterday. Already I'm struggling to hit my macros. GAH. It's like trying to solve a rubics cube, making proteins, fats, carbs and calories all line up! I have tried (and failed!) so many diets I'm not ready to tell anyone in real life what I'm doing (but strangers on the internet is okay :) !) Also, I'm trying hard not to beat myself up for ending the day with 27 carbs instead of 20. *sigh* I need a personal chef that's also a master mathematician to do all of my cooking and logging for me.

    I don't really have high hopes to lose weight, I have Hashimoto's and REALLY struggle to make the scale move (down, up is no problem!) and I feel like after all this time, my weight and I are really good friends, so it's not going anywhere. Frankly, any loss will be a bonus!

    Anyway, I would love to join this challange.

    SW - 270 (OMH DID I JUST ADMIT TO MY WEIGHT!?!?)
    CW - 270
    GW - 200 (to be adjusted once goal achieved)

    Feel free to add me as a friend!

    I'm In!! I've done Keto on and off since September - when I'm full on I feel amazing and see the changes. When I stray back to the carbs I feel terrible (damn holidays get me!)

    Looking forward to feeling great again!!

    SW - 144
    GW - 120

    Want to also focus on daily fitness to transform my body!!

    Let's do this!! Woot Woot.

    I am also nursing a five month old baby so I’m hoping that will help me really knock off these lbs! Pinterest has been a huge help to me with getting started and finding out what I can and cannot eat.

    I'm in! Did Keto about 4 years ago for realz, then did it 2 and 1 year ago. This time, I pledge to be fit by 50. I am going to stick with it, and will weigh in/measure for a starting point when I get home. Looking forward to this!

    Not a lot to lose but i cant seem to get this last bit off so im giving it a try also trying to get my A1C lower since I was told I was “pre-diabetes”

    5’3.5
    12/31> 138
    Goal> 125

    @kouts - Feel free to put your A1C on here, too, as one of your targets, if you feel like it. I imagine many of us are in the same boat!

    Hi to everyone new (and old of course!) lots of support and help here and @travelmore86 don't worry, only friendly advice and help allowed in any of the keto group announcements or discussions, everyone always very supportive. Also @TeeElleGee I think you will find that other people with this will say that Keto has helped, also no beating up of self allowed! Sometimes just staying the same weight is a bonus! Welcome again to all <3 Ps anyone who wants to start can post their weight any day! We just try for Sundays as it keeps us focused!

    Happy New Year!!! Gonna start hitting the gym. My goals are going to be much smaller now. I'm nervous I will get discouraged once I start working out because the numbers are going to slow down. So I'm gonna take pictures to make sure I can still see a difference. I was 146 yesterday. My goal for the month is to get to 140. But if i start getting my butt back that will be achievement enough haha

    @HaideeJo13 - Measure with a set of "goal pants" if you don't want to take actual measurements, etc.

    Yup, in the UK that sounds like pants you'd wear in Jail as we also spell 'Jail' as 'goal' but still pronounce it 'jail' what can I say...........

    I'm in too.
    I was feeling bummed about bailing on the Dec challenge half-way through last month- way too many obstacles. But I'm over it now.
    Feeling excited about this month and the prospects that a fresh new year brings!
    I'm working toward a 20lb loss by March 1!

    I got up and grabbed a pair of pants and thought oh wow! I lost tons overnight. They were quite baggy. Then I saw I had grabbed them from my “too big don’t wear in public” pile of jeans. Lol. But a most successful day. 15g net carbs and I even got a piece of Dutch licorice in there!

    I've been on forums and message boards for years and I can assure you, this is by far the most wonderful, safe, accepting and non judgemental group I have ever participated in. Lots of awesome folks here :)

    Agreed! I just recently stopped posting in a community on MFP for that reason!

    I’m looking forward to giving and receiving support here.
