Resumed Keto today after about 10 months break


(Doosh) #1

Hello Ketogenic community. I just found this forum a few hours ago when i was searching for help and answers on how to get back on the keto wagon.
I began the ketogenic lifestyle in September 2016 and lost a lot of weight from 107kg to 80kg with about 10 months. I maintained the weight until early last year when i had a cheat meal, which became day, cheat week, cheat month------and here i found myself.
I have made several attempts at coming back but before i realize it, i am back high carbs again because of sugar cravings and all. I have added a ton of weight and really need to get back.
I need all your support here to succeed on this journey once again.
Please is there an accountability section on this forum where we can post meals, record progress and get support etc?

Welcome! I’m glad you found us!

There is an accountability section that you can access after you have been a member a little longer… I can’t remember how long but within the day, I am sure. I should look that up. It’s just to make sure you are here to be part of the community and not spam or anything. It helps keep it a nicer place.

The good news is you already know what to do. But we all need some help sometimes.

I know you can start your own journal thread, that you can post. People can chime in on your journal. They are very helpful. It’s really frustrating,I know, to put some weight back on. And once you start eating the higher carbs you get such cravings. I put on some weight since Christmas. And I am refocusing as well.


(back and doublin' down) #5

@dooshima Welcome!

I started keto in April 2018. Was active around here for a year, then got busy last summer and stopped checking in, and slid into some weekend carbarge as well, with all sorts of justifications and excuses. Thankfully, my weight was stable, just not dropping anymore.

So, I’m back and “doubling down.” Once I was a few days seriously focused on clean keto eating, I felt so much better. Hope you will have that same bounce. Lots of encouraging folks in this community too, so happy hunting through all the threads, find your tribe and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow keto’ers!

Thanks @Pandora. Much appreciated. I feel the support already. truly part of the reason why i went off and stayed for sooo long is because i left the support communities i was one for so long. The support groups were Facebook based and for some reason i decided to satay away from facebook. Now i am here to stay. I will check in every now and again.
