    Did Keto successfully in 2016. Maintained with a little fluctuation in 2017 by eating nonsense, LOL. Starting 2018 right by being back on the Keto Bandwagon!

    Current Weight: 168lbs
    Goal: 135lbs
    Originally: 245lbs

    Happy New year, I as well as starting keto. My first day will be tomorrow. I spent all day researching and planning my week and meal prepping. I feel I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm 29, I'll be 30 in May and I want to lose 60-80 pounds I'm currently at 245.

    Honestly, Reddit’s Keto section is an amazing resource! Not to steer anyone away from the message boards on MFP but it’s the truth! Lol

    Hi Melina! It was hard for me also. I was more of a pasta and white bread eater though. At least rice and wheat are a tiny bit better. Not much, but a bit. I just knew I had to do something. Past dieting attempts just made me get fatter. I would start off great and lose a good bit in the first couple of weeks, then slow right down. I would try eating less and less calories, until I was hungry all the time! Then eventually I gave up and gained whatever little I lost back and more.

    With Keto, I had to really take that leap of faith. The first week was hard because I really wanted bread and/or pasta. But I trucked through it, and by the second week, I still thought about those foods, but no longer craved them. Now, they no longer take up space in my brain. I eat more now. I just ate 2010 calories yesterday, and lost 1.4 pounds! In total, I've lost 33 pounds since the first of October on the Keto lifestyle. This with no exercise!

    I was diagnosed as a diabetic 2 years ago. I was also put on high blood pressure medicine. Today, my A1C is normal, my blood pressure is normal. My morning fasting blood sugar readings are below 100 mg/dl. My arthritis hasn't acted up in months. I'm no longer out of breath when climbing stairs. I could go on and on the benefits that I've noticed since being Keto.

    So really think if giving up wheat and rice is worth your health. It was for me. Good luck in your choice! Check out those groups I listed above. Lots of valuable information and tips in them!

    Good morning everyone....today is my 1st true day on the Keto diet, I didn't plan well yesterday so it didn't go so well (forgot my food at home and was snacking in the office all day). Today I have my food and I meal prepped last night for the rest of the week. Hope everyone has a great day.
