Good Afternoon...

I am 42 years old with 3 kids. Each one put on a little more weight. When I was almost at my goal weight I went on a medication that made me gain 35 pounds. I have found the way I lose weight best is by cutting sugar and carbs. This is really hard for me because I like to snack (which doesn't help at all) and all of my snacks have carbs a sugar. If anyone is on Keto and would like to support each other I would love it!

    I would love to be a part of a group of new Keto Dieters. I have been registered on myfitnesspal for years, but I have been off this "app", all diets and fitness programs for many years. Not even sure where to start so I would really appreciate following others that are new to Keto.

    Please add me as a friend.
    Not sure if there is a group option, I need to re-familiarise myself to MyfitnessPal so any & all advice is welcome.

    Hi! I’m gathering info and gradually moving into a Keto lifestyle. I’d love support from others who have been doing this. My husband and I both need to lose weight and I feel this is something we can live with and be successful with. I’d love to join this group!

    I'm researching the Keto lifestyle myself. So far I think the Ketonic diet would really work for me. A community of people supporting one another is something I value.

    I've been eating keto for a bit more than three months. I really like it because I've always favored the creamy sauces and foods with melty cheese and keto allows me to eat those. I've also had a problem with the way my body handles carbs (pre-diabetic and inability to stop myself from eating them) so keto addresses that problem as well. I don't feel deprived, I don't feel hungry and I'm losing weight at the same time. It's a win-win way of eating for me. In the 99 days that I've been eating keto I've lost 36 pounds and six inches off my waist. My total loss goal is 135 pounds and with keto I think I will actually get there.

    Feel free to add me as a friend. I share my food diary and would love more keto friends in my list.

    Listen, Just want to say this.... Keto is a tool. It is a fantastic diet not just for weight loss but for health benefits as well. I have been on Keto for 13+ months and made a crazy transformation in the first 12 months. Outside of a few moments of weakness (like the past month due to international trips) I find it easy to get back on the wagon due to the love of the diet itself. But, please know the solid foundation you need regardless of your diet choice is planning. It is paramount and trumps all. If you do not plan, this diet will be difficult and it will cause you to fail. Understand your potential options for food, meaning outside sources for food. As you will not always have food made from home to eat. Study your favorite restaurants menus as well as other unfamiliar ones around you. If you do not do so, this will bite you in the butt. There is no doubt in my mind each of you can pull off what most would think is impossible. I have become rather comfortable eating out and at most restaurants. Therefore, do not cage yourself in.... Anyway, If I can help in any way please ask... may not check this message board daily but I will follow up... Go get'em
