Has anyone lost weight on a keto diet?

I recently started Couch to 5k and have reached week 5. I'm surprised I have gotten this far! This is probably the most amount of regular exercise I have ever done in my life so I'm proud of it.

I really want to lose 3 stone. I've been flirting with a low carb diet. Stick to it Monday to Thursday and then I eat what I like Friday to Sunday (watching calories but I will have sweet treats so not watching carbs). During the week I'll have meal replacement shakes for breakfast and lunch to ensure I remain within my calorie allowance.

I lost a few pounds initially, then I stayed the same the next week. This week I've gained a few pounds! I'm so tired of going up and down like a yo yo all the time. I really want to take advantage of the fact that I'm exercising regularly and lose the weight for good.

Has anyone lost weight by sticking to a keto diet? Did you pay for it? I will happily pay for something if it will aid my weight loss.

Thought about doing something like Jane Plan but the food doesn't look that great. And it's expensive.

I feel like I'm all over the place food wise. Why am I finding it so hard to lose weight?! Sad

@Spring2021 oh sorry I forgot that but.
I followed lots of YouTube videos. Some were ok, some are too intense and others I disagree with so you can find your favourite.
Kristi Davies. (She also has a Facebook group ‘all things keto with Kristi’ that’s really helpful, lots of members who help with any questions and recipe ideas, mainly Americans who have access to lots of processed keto friendly breads and snacks that we don’t get unfortunately
Keto Christina. Christina Oman. (Irish lady living in Zurich. Has lost lots of weight and just had skin removal surgery)
Dr Berg
Thomas lauer.
Keto Connect
Alli McWowie.

They all offer something different.
I also followed the keto page on Reddit when I started. It has a FAQ section with everything you need to know about starting keto.
