Hi everyone my name is Yvonne and I made myself a vow on my last birthday to not be "fat" at 40. That gave me a year to get myself in gear and focus not only on the # on the scale but my health.
Well I have a few months (October) left and I'm only down 5 pounds and not close to my goal. So after reading countless reviews and watching so many testimonials I am going to give my best at a keto diet.
CW: 250
SW:255
MY AUGUST GOAL 10 LBS

I am open to any suggestions and positive vibes 😀 Feel free to add me as a friend
Thanks

    Did you research keto or just read what others thought of it? I couldn't do it because it eliminated some of my favorite foods.

    Good luck on your journey.

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    In addition to reading the Most Helpful Posts threads, make sure you are paying attention to calories while doing keto -they still count!

    I can't link on my phone, but there is a link to the Low Carbers group in the right hand margin on the Community home page, you should find some great info in there as well.

    Good luck!

    The Keto groups are great on here. And a good friends list helps me a lot.

    Good luck!
