Newbie from Virginia Beach


(Anja Kern) #1

Hi there, my name is Anja and I am originally from Germany, but have been living in Virginia Beach for the past 12 years now. I have prior experience in losing weight and gaining it back…I have tried low cal (lost 40 lbs), Atkins (lost 20 lbs) and plain low carb (lost 20 lbs), but I know that low cal is the hardest, because you deal with a lot of hunger. I’m hoping that this is my last attempt and that keto will be how it’s going to be until I leave this earth. I am aware that I cannot just go back to my normal eating habit, which has happened every time so far. I am 47 years old, married, we have 3 adult children and are about to have 2 grandchildren this year. I’m hoping a forum with like minded people will help me to stick with it for the rest of my life. Have a great day and keto on :):smiley:

Welcome! The forum is an outstanding resource of helpful people and information. 2 keto dudes podcasts are a great resource also. When I started I listened to their podcasts whenever I was in my car, 3-7 per week to I was current. It helped me with focus during the transition to keto…

2 keto dudes is also a podcast. Audio only , save on data if you want. Again, I listen to podcasts in my car to save on data…

Hello!

I’m in the same region. My wife and I eat keto when we are not fasting. We can talk your ear off about it sometime.

There is a meetup dinner in the works, see this post and maybe you’d like to join?
