Hi Everyone. I am new to Keto. I started yesterday. So far its not too bad. I am finding that i am not eating my alloted calorie amount and im staying under my macros numbers. Is that a good thing? I want to be able to lose 48 pound by swimsuit season.

you just started, so go easy on yourself and dont worry too much about calories in or out for the first 2 weeks as your body adjusts. you might start to feel "funny" as your body depletes of carbs and converts to fat burning. make sure you drink a lot of water and get electrolytes to keep that keto flu at bay.
dont be afraid to salt the heck out of your food for a while to help with the adaption.

i am new to keto i am 35 years old 5'3" 205lb and find it hard to keep my carb intake down but that for now as of lack of money and lack of food in the home not completely lack of food just the very little that would have been ok before have too much carbs.

Hello! I've used MFP and the calorie counting method once in the past, when my littles were actually little, and was sucessful, but it's not working this time. I've been "kind of" Keto for a month or so now, but really want to give it an honest try. I'll admit it, I go in waves with my will power and I love food. I'm looking for a few mom friends that are in similar situations as me, have open diaries (looking for new ideas and what other people do), and would be willing to answer questions when I have them. I started this adventure by reading "Anyway You Can," by Dr. Bosworth. Here goes:

I'm a 42 year old, happily married, mom of 3 teenagers. As my MFP name suggests, our 3 kids were born in 3 years, and I just never got it totally back together after that. I'm 5'7, 145ish lbs, not bad, but would like better, it's mainly my mid section. We often walk/ride bikes, but I work an office job part time that isn't super active. I'm also hoping to find people in the same mind set of not changing their family's way of eating, but fixing meals that can be keto by leaving a side or two out. Does that make sense?! lol

Thanks for listening and best of luck to all!

Northern Ireland. Fat, Fifty, Fed Up! Working towards 2 stone weight loss by keto via IF 2MAD & WHM (breathing & cold showers). Bucketful of broken body parts from years of serving in the army (carrying too much weight, over far too long distances) followed by 20 years getting a fat @rse sat at a desk. I don't want to run a marathon (not yet, and never more than once). More muscle and more strength required.

Good Morning all!
I have been doing keto/low carb for quite some time and have decided to go full on Keto.
Super excited to have a community for resources and encouragement!

Hello. I’m on keto. Done it off and on. Am sticking to it pretty well now.
