Hello everyone,

My name is Serenity. I started on the Keto plan through my Bariatric Surgeon. I am not able to get any type of weight loss surgeries because of some of my other health conditions that I have had since birth and ultimately it felt like the program they started me on was the last thing I really could do in my mind. Since about two months ago I have lost 20lbs. However I still have a long way to go. I am wanting to get back to 180 lbs, or at least in that general area. I think the Keto diet is a great plan, but it is very hard because I love pastas and breads. However, I do not crave pasta as much as I used to. I found this forum through a book called 'The Ketogenic Diet' by Kristen Mancinelli. So I look forward to getting a lot of information and inspiration from everyone. Thanks.
