    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’ve been back and forth with keto lately ever since my wedding in April! I lost so much weight and it was so simple that first time! I’ve been back on and off a few times, but never quite committing as hard as I did before the wedding. Well, now it’s time again! I have been over-indulging enough lately! Time to get back on track!

    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 started keto yesterday, after a holiday "break" in eating and up some lbs.
    As an aside, so hard to get in the fat for me and am focusing on some lower carb veggies but even the low carb ones seem to have more carbs than I would have though.

    Tried Keto for the first time in June 2018. Had a lot of ups and downs but I'm ready to do this right. My plan is to IF and track and no cheats faithfully. Day 2 so far so good.

    I was having a rough December with Christmas parties and crazy drinking, lol. I got it under control the last week, but I had still creeped back up to 268 :# Now, I'm three full days of kind of strict keto, and I dropped down to 258. That's the lowest I've been since 2008! Trust the process, my friends! Sometimes you don't see drops, get discouraged, and cheat more than you should. It's natural! Keto has saved my life. I totally believe that! I can't wait to see what this year has in store for all of us! <3<3<3
    Started in April or May?

    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 $#@&amp; 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 <3 keto.

    My MD put me on Keto right before Thanksgiving for auto-immune disease. I've had some bumps over the holidays and ready to get back to strict keto. A little weight loss would be great, too!
