Hi Bsheets
I lived in Melbourne for a while. First St Kilda, then Glen Iris. I really liked it over there. That was before I'd even heard of low carb.
I agree with your comments regarding support, There is a great network online and I've really been blessed by this site in particular.

Today was 40C and there's no end in sight. As I said, I'm not a fan of the cold but then again, I'm not a fan of any extreme temperatures.
I am getting close to goal but my weight loss has slowed to such a crawl, it's almost stopped. I've just started exercising so hopefully that will stir things up a bit.
I've never tried intermittent fasting because I like my food too much. I don't snack between meals because I'm not hungry but I don't like skipping meals (I'm such a baby
)
I think I'm on roughly 30 or so grams a day but in all honesty, I don't count carbs. Maybe that's why my weight loss has slowed down so much, perhaps some carb creep has entered my life.
I've never been one to count calories, carbs or whatever and rely on eating by intuition and estimation. I feel I can keep this up for life, I could never count carbs for ever.
If I find myself stalled for a length of time, I'll keep count for a week or so and see where I'm going wrong. I think I eat pretty well and stick to low carb foods.
I agree about portions, eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full.
Take care
