Hi Everyone! I’m restarting Keto today after a 6 month break. I would like to lose about 25-30 lbs however my main goal is to increase energy levels and overall well-being. I have some food sensitivities which and Keto really helped virtually eliminate all those discomforts previously! Looking forward to getting to know others better!

OK, I'm on the spreadsheet! I weigh 177. I was planning to start keto today, but need to do some food shopping. But I am starting intermittent fasting, 16/8. It may be better to stagger getting started with each of these anyway, sort of ease into it.

I'm at work now so can't stay long, but I plan to read your posts later and tell you a bit about myself.

Have a great day!

I'm restarting KETO and IF after a 2 week holiday break, and I'm in for the January challenge.

On another note - anyone's stomach get really grumbly (and sometimes LOUD and grumbly)? Dietdoctor.com says drink more water. If I do, I may float down the hall. Any suggestions or thoughts?

I just started Keto! Hoping for 20lbs!! Looking for any assistance!!

Happy New Year All!!!!

Hi there,
I’m new to keto and am ready to shed the pounds after my 4th child just turned 1. I’m the most I’ve ever weighed while not pregnant and have to make a change. No more excuses; let’s do this!

Yesterday I finally had surgery to repair the damage caused by my dislocated shoulder softball injury back on July 2, 2018. This is going throw a monkey wrench into my plan to reboot my keto discipline right away for 2019. Several surgery obstacles stand in my way to get and stay on the keto wagon.

First, I need to take narcotics for pain as I’m a pain wimp. Last time I had surgery I got off from narcotics in less than 2 weeks. I plan to do the same this time, but until I do, I know they will give me a serious case of $#@& for brains. Not a good scenario for keto discipline???

Second, I am the keto cook in my household. I will have to teach my already overburdened wife to be my souse chef, as prepping is out of the question for 6 weeks. Chopping, shredding and various other two-fisted operations are prohibited for recovery.

Third, and perhaps most important, is my tendency to make/use anything for an excuse to deviate from what I know I need to do. I am the King of, “I’ll start tomorrow”. That is where I need your help on this forum. This group has been a huge part of the keto success I’ve managed to gain despite my lack of self- discipline.

Today marks 365 days (One Year), I’ve logged onto MFP and viewed this Monthly Challenge. The advice, support and encouragement I’ve received here has helped me regain my physical/mental health. I am confident that in 2019, with the help of my Monthly Challenge Friends, I will approach and achieve many of my personal fitness goals. So, just like you did last year, hold me accountable, give me your sound council and cheer me on. I will try to do the same for you. I keto.
