Welcome! :)

Are you eating enough? (your diary is closed) I know I was really struggling to lose one pound. I got some great advice and upped my calories along with lowering my protein and upping my fat. I started losing immediately. I'm definitely not a veteran ketoer but thought I would share my experience.

My net carbs are under 20 and I eat between 1500-1600 calories. I, like a couple others, follow keto too. :)

I struggled for months just to lose a pound here and there. (I was also eating 1200) After reading tons on here I upped my calories a little at a time. I started losing almost immediately. I am truly thankful for the information I found here.

This is just my experience but thought I would chime in. I started in January at 1200 calories. I fought to lose a pound here and there. I struggled like that for 3 months. After tons of reading on MFP and lots of suggestions I decided to up my calories. By the way I was scared to death to do so as I did not want to gain…

Hi Erika! I just turned 42 and you can add me to the struggling. It has gotten so much harder to lose as I've gotten older. I've been at it since Jan. Always looking for friends! Please feel free to add me! Melissa

Feel free to add me as well! I've done low carb for awhile but only on Keto a little over a week.

Thank you both. I made fat bombs this evening. I will say I'm a bit nervous but I have felt like something wasn't quite right with my daily intake so I'm willing to try and adjust. I'm trusting you. ;) I will keep you posted on how it goes. Thanks again! Mel

Thanks for the advice. I have read a lot of your posts and hoped you would respond. I will try to adjust and see if it helps. I will say I am very nervous about adjusting and gaining but I really want to maximize the weight loss so I'm willing to try. ;)

^ this :)

I was quite happy at 175. (size 8) This is my goal again.
