Looking for motivating friends and Keto-ers!

[xScarlettz]

Hi guys!!!

I just got my fitbit, and I have been using MFP for a while, and having friends is always a great motivation to keep going and supporting each other!!

I am mostly looking for Keto dieters, since I love exchanging recipes and tricks! But it doesn't matter, anyone is more than welcome to be friends ❤️

I have been on keto for almost a month and I am loving the results. I have dropped almost 10 lbs and I still have 25lbs to go 😄

i've been keto for about a year now (give or take a couple months) and love it!  all told, i'm down 97lbs.  feel free to add me.

How's it going on the Keto? I just started. I have about 40lbs to loose. Its stange eating fat. 

[carl669]

i think i've hit my maintenance weight and i'm still doing keto.  mainly because i love the steady energy i get with it.

for example, the last two nights, our 2 year old hasn't slept well.  so, that means we don't sleep well either.  i'd say i've had a total of 10 hours sleep the last two night.  but, i'm not tired at work and don't feel like crawling under my desk and taking a nap.

You can friend me.  I've been trying to do Keto for the last 2 months.  I havent lost anything I need help....

[BethS123]

You can freind me. I like to move it I like to compete. 🙂

I've only been doing Keto for 29 days. As far as weight loss goes I haven't had much success. I mean I lost 8 pounds but that was 2 weeks ago and nothing since. I haven't been able to get in the medium ketone range and stay there. I have only had a few glasses of wine twice and both times a slip back into just a trace of ketones and gain 3 pounds back! I think I have to keep track of my food. Does anybody Intermittent fast? A few times I have not been at all hungry for any breakfast or lunch and have eaten dinner around 5 and wake up the same weight. My choice of exercise these days is spinning 3x  and weights 2x. Any suggestions? I have never slept better though. Binging and craving things has ended. 

[carl669]

make sure you're not going overboard on the protein as excess can be converted to glucose and kick you out of ketosis.  i sometimes intermittent fast, but mostly out of convenient.  actually, it's more like a fat fast.  for breakfast, all i'll have is a serving of bulletproof coffee.  i'd recommend entering  your food and seeing what your actual fat/protein/carb ratios are. 

also, i use this site once every couple months to adjust my macros:

Hi All,

I've been on Keto for 2 months now, down 13 lbs, absolutely loving the results.

I don't really have a goal weight, more interested in turing my fat belly into heavy muscle.

Happy be befriend any Keto-er

Power to the fat!

🙂

If you want to kick a plateau -  one thing that I do which gets great results is only have a power coffee (or coffee with pure cream instead of milk) then hit the gym on a virtual empty stomach - it seems to forces my body to use my fat stores 🙂 also I saw a site which talks about fat fasting to kick start yourself into deep ketosis again.  Here is the link http://www.ruled.me/using-fat-fasting-technique/ but I would only use it as recommended in the article.

I hope that helps a bit?

Hello - I've been following a keto diet for almost a month & have been enjoying my new Fitbit for about 2 weeks. I'd love to be added & follow along with fellow keto-ers - I'm down about 15lbs but still have a ways to go so I can use all the support & motivation I can get 

[kevLee]

Welcome. Maybe we can help each other? I'm still not getting this keto diet right

[rieson]

You can add me as a friend.  I'm new to both fitbit and keto.  Would love some friends to help with motivation.

does anyone count calories if not i would like to an aprox amount of calories everyone is eating while in ketosis.  When I eat HFLC  I still feel like i'm always hungry ?? this is frustrtating.  

[carl669]

although i didn't pay attention to calories, i did enter my food into the log so i could see the macro ratios.  i was typically 70/25/5 (fat/protein/carbs).  the log said i was eating 1700-2000 calories.

[des041]

I'm coming in late on this post, but I presume by Keto, you mean low carb? 97 pounds? Congrats! I'm 30 pounds overweght 215 trying to get down. Any EASY tips for a guy on the go?

Have you checked your ketone level?

[shellyons]

kevLee - I shoot for around 1700 calories & try to stay between 20-30g carbs per day. I used the keto calculator to figure out my range for protein & fat so try to stay close to the targets. I log everything to make sure my macros are in the ballpark & to keep my calories in check. It's very easy to consume too much protein which will kick you out of ketosis. I check my ketone levels a few times a week too just to make sure I'm still in ketosis & so far, so good.   

Here are some links I've found to be VERY helpful:
