Hi everyone!
My name is Kiersten and I’m 20 years old. Being in college I feel I’ve really started to let myself go. Because I do have a busy lifestyle, finding time to workout can be hard so I thought I’d try a diet. I have a small goal of losing 10 pounds. It’s not huge but I have to start somewhere. I’m hoping by trying the keto diet I will gain more energy, feel better and maybe lose a little weight. We will see. Other than about why I’m here, if I’m not doing homework I’m usually with my boyfriend, taking photography or hanging out with my friends. I love being outdoors, camping, hiking, bike riding. So yeah, that’s a little about me! I’m excited to see where this journey takes me. If anyone is on the keto diet or has any advice PLEASE share! Thanks!:)

Hi! I started Keto 3 days ago and its really working for me. I have a bigger weight loss goal than you but so far, so good with Keto! My name is AJ and I'm in my 30s. I work in Marketing, like to take road trips and hang out at Irish pubs. I'm more than willing to go on this Keto diet with you, i'm not even a week in yet!1

Hello! I am also very new to the keto diet. I have PCOS and have heard from others that also have it that keto is a great way to help control our insilin levels and lose weight. Its why i am so interested in really trying it. My overall weight loss goal is 100lbs. Im really hoping to see some results with this diet change. So far im basically recipie searching as well as learning what to avoid and what is good to eat. I think one of my biggest issues is going to be changing what i drink more than what i eat, as i am a big big sweet tea fanatic. I hardly drink soda or anything else for that matter. Its always always sweet tea, and i no with the keto diet, sugar is a no no.1

Hi I'm Donna. I started Keto 1-11-18. So far I have lost 44 pounds. Sometimes I give into temptations and fail for a day, or even just a meal. But I never stop the diet because it works. My doctor has taken all 4 of my 5 mg glyburide away. I am just on the Metformin right now. I have went down 3 sizes in clothing. My main exercise is a 1.5 to 3 mile walk a day around the school track or in my neighborhood. I do 20 grams or less carbs per day and no more than 1577 calories for a deficit (yes that does matter!) I am 58 years old with grown children. I have focused on raising my beautiful family and now I am going to focus on my health and my lifestyle and okay, my looks too because I love clothes and shoes and want to fit into all of them again. I am a breast cancer survivor and know that losing fat (which contains cancer feeding estrogen) can actually keep my cancer at bay, keep me in remission and save my life. Keto is great because if you eat the fat it will keep you full. The cheats are from cravings, not hunger. And even the cravings are greatly improved. Youtube is a great source of recipes. Keto Connect is good. Butter Bob is inspirational. Good luck to all the newbies. I will help in anyway I can.8

Hello , I am new, your post are very inspiring, I am planning on starting Kate too. My goal is 20 lbs for now0

been Keto for 60 days now and down 15lbs - have had no issues with cutting the carbs and liking the way I am feeling and clothes are fitting - still have a ways to go but it is great to see the scale moving downward after so long of it climbing up.0

I am new to Keto and would love all the advice I can get. I am a 6th grade teacher, so I am trying to get into a great habit over the summer so that I understand most of it by the time school starts. Thank you in advance for all the help!!0

Hello everyone,
I am on my week #2 of Keto. I have so many things that I need need help with, like keto snacks for example. I am also training my brain into eating less carbs and more fat...not at all easy. I have lost 6 pounds of mostly water weight i guess. I m 29 and trying to lose weight as much as possible by my 30th birthday in June next year.1 -
new also...6 weeks in and have lost 25 pounds...really liking it so far0

Hey! I was on keto for 2 years in college and lost 80lbs (since gained back due to physical/mental health challenges). I’m back on again and would love other pals to talk to!0

Been on Keto 5 weeks now and have gotten rid of 10 pounds so far. Am weighing in today to see my progress this past week, hopefully at least 1 more pound gone. Feel free to add me, motivation and recipe swaps. Happy Thursday!1

I went Keto for 2 months and lost almost 15#. Then I started falling off the wagon, and have had a hard time starting back up. Anyone have any advice for someone who's family is not Keto, but they are? It's a huge pain to try to cook different meals. Perhaps now that it's summer, it would be a bit easier with grilling meats and veggies. Feel free to add me, I'd love to hear any recipes!0

Like to have more ftiends and i started doing keto again.1

Hi! I am about to start the keto diet this weekend. I am excited to try it, but also feel a bit overwhelmed with meal planning and ensuring I keep my carbs below 25g. Any advice for someone who is new to keto? I’m also not much of a cook either. I’ll have to get creative. Any advice, tips or suggestions is appreciated!!1

just follow the allowed macros the best you can...its not easy at first and the low carbs seems impossible or at least it did to me...give it at least one month to get used to all of the changes and by far the most important thing is get rid of all of the not allowed foods first thing so you are not tempted0 -
These groups have a lot of low carbers and keto'ers for support and info:

Hi everyone! I started a low carb/modified keto diet on Monday and I felt extremely crappy the first few days. I am breastfeeding my new baby so I’ve had to modify the keto diet slightly to account for more sugar allotment. Before my diet consisted of mostly breads and pastas because I am always so hungry. But now I am starting to feel better and already have lost 2 lbs! Anyone who’d like to add me for some motivational support, please do!0
