Thank you everyone :) every answer was helpful.

Hello, I'm new to the group, started using MFP about 2 weeks ago even though its been on my phone for months lol I am 39 and I have 2 kids they are 13 and 10 so its probably about time I stopped blaming them for my excess weight lol. I'm a working mom, X-Ray Tech, I want to lose about 40-50 pounds, just started going back…

I'm finally not hungry all the time and clothes are feeling loose!! :)

If im being honest I don't feel that keto helped with my depression but once I got back to exercising, that helped more than anything. It was hard to go back to it and im nowhere close to where I used to be, but I gotta start somewhere and running or even just walking on the treadmill altered my mood tremendously. And I…

HAHAHAHAHA! 🤣

Yesss! Good advice, thank you!

Hahahaha I love this approach

@Larkspur94 thank you for sharing that with me. You definitely get my struggle. I guess since I'm just starting out and dont really have any progress to show, it's easier for them to be skeptical and negative. I have to grow thicker skin and not let the negative nancies get to me. I think it's not so much what they say as…

This is a good start! Wishing you strength and success!! 😁

LOL I usually end up getting mad and telling them to mind their own business but it still happens. I will try to just not say anything, even when they ask I'll just shrug or something lol. Wish my family was more supportive. 😔

So it's not like I'm going around with a sign that says " I'M ON KETO LETS TALK ABOUT IT" lol The negativity comes from people looking at my plate and a lot of it is people being offended when I wont eat their food.

Easier said then done. Some people actually laugh in my face when I tell them about keto and that's just if they aren't rolling their eyes.

Im new too, nice to meet you!

Stress and sadness trigger binge eating for me as well. It's a comfort thing and such a bad habit. I used to run instead of eat but when I hurt my back and started to have pain in both my feet I dont run as much as I want to. I can still run but I always come up with excuses to eat instead and now I'm at a point where I'm…

Reading this has made me seriously start considering changing my plan. I dont want to be like that ever. I dont know that this is the right way to go for me.... feeling conflicted.

Thank you!!

Thank you, that is interesting. I AM just starting so I will keep this in mind and hope I stop feeling hungry. A friend told me I am not eating enough fat. Am I supposed to eat more fat than protein? I thought it was more protein than fat and almost no carbs?

I'm a big girl lol

It's set to 1900 calories a day
