Hi all, I am new here, but not knew to keto. when I first heard and researched keto I was so so excited “finally I am going to loose the weight and take my health back”… well that has not happened and I am gunna lay out my info (try to see it short) because home girl needs some help.
- I am 20 (almost 21
#holla, 5’1, 148 - when I was 18 I was 113, energetic, less stress/tired, normal period. went to college and pizza, partying, eating out, binging, stress, school, and drinking caused me to gain #freshman15 then another 15 too. last year I realized I was 140 and freaked. went to my old HS ways of disordered eating… -1000 cals a day and extreme cardio. and nothing. wend to doc to see whats up and I am normal (sort of discouraging) accept for 2 periods a month
3.Went to Europe for half of summer and came back 150 and started keto one week later.
4.i am a nerd and loved reading and have read/researched/listened to so much, i am not a #cluelessketo well sort of

One month eating around anywhere from 1300-2000 cals a day, usually 14000 BUT alway 80/20/-5 and no weight loss. in the words of ross Gellar “I did not cheat” I promise yet the scale and my pant size did not budge
-
pissed and I try Atkins 20, aka keto diet but with crappy processed foods that make you
but not in the good way, lasted 10 days and went back to keto, but added fiber to my diet but was extreme eating like 1000 cals, >15 TOTAL carbs and small protein. -
September: I lost 2 lbs (water weight), working out, checking meter and I am usually 1.3-3 range, I drop (and BG^ rises after intense cardio( but I am no runner so thats rare))I have had maybe 4 total slips ups in a span of 3 months but I quickly went wright back into ketosis the next day. was put on BC , Lo loestrin Fe for period and I 100% it has not affected my weight

I am now 148 and pissed:/.what can I freaking do, has anyone else seen such a thing? I am doing everything right and it feels hopeless like the universe wants me to be heavy. It brings me to tears, because I work so hard, cook myself, no gluten, sugar, lactose, lots of water, sacrifice so much, say no everyday do carb, no processed, no inflamitories and just can’t loose the weight?
I feel like the only human on the planet who can’t loose weight on keto, so alone. I love how keto makes me feel but I want so desperately to fit into my old clothes and feel more confident. Not trying to sound like Madison from This Is US, my BMI is high, but also let it be know that I love myself and my body I am just also mad because I truly feel like such a fat failure.
So any advise, help, personal story, heck a funny meme;) anything would be so greatly appreciated?
