Hi! Intro Post from a Restart-Queen

Hey everyone! I’ve been doing keto on and off for 4 years now, for about 3-4 months each year. I always fall off the band wagon - usually because Thanksgiving/Christmas derail me OR I reach my goal weight and then go back to eating garbage.

Well, I’m back. My husband is joining me as he usually does. I’m starting at 5’2" - 143 lbs. I would like to be below 130 lbs, but I know the scale is not the be-all end-all. I am SO looking forward to better quality sleep, more energy, and a clearer mind.

I moved across the country with my husband and now have a new job with a 1 hour commute. That was how I found 2 keto dudes in the first place! TGFPodcasts.

I just wanted to say HI and that I am so excited to be here! :slight_smile:

Welcome back to keto, and welcome to the forums! I’ve seen a number of posts around here to the effect that results don’t always come so easily the second time around, so just don’t get upset if it happens to you. Keep calm, and keto on!

We’re here for support, trouble-shooting, commiserating, and rejoicing! :bacon::bacon:

Don’t feel too bad. I’ve low carbed away the same 50 or 65 pounds at least five times now. I try to look at the bright side - had I not kept climbing back on the wagon, you’d have seen me on one of those My 600 pound life shows.

I think this time might be sticking. I’ve been Keto for pushing three years apart from my planned cheats on Thanksgiving, Christmas and my birthday and keep managing to go right back.

Never give up!
