1year Keto-versary - before and after


#1

So, I just hit the 1-year mark last week, and cannot believe how different I feel now. Embarking on Keto was part of a quest to improve health. And, in doing so- it was part of a promise I made to myself after my brother died an untimely death- that I would not go down that same path of destroying my health with sugar, obesity, diabetes, and a plethora of other ailments. My resolve to continue improvements is stronger now than ever.
I’ve been so camera shy for so many years, it took some searching to find a pic that revealed my true weight… The before pic was taken a few years back- but if memory serves me- I was slightly toasted, and weighed over 242 in that pic. The after pic was taken this morning- and I am at 185. Even with another 35-45 lbs to shave off, I am no longer terribly shy in front of the camera. Can’t tell you all how great it feels to feel this great! Thank you fellow Ketonians for all the help, advice encouragement and straight talk! Not sure I could have done it without you.
