After five months of keto, the tape measure around my waist line budged … a little. I was beginning to think that every number on the darned thing was 40. Only explanation I could come up with for it refusing to change. This morning I checked it on a whim … and my waist line measured a “svelte” 39 1/2 inches.
I’m what some call a “tofi” … 5 years ago had a 32" waist line. Packed away several pounds of visceral fat. Had a dexa-scan a week ago and found out I still have a lot of visceral fat … even after losing a little over 20# between South Beach (started late last year) and keto (started march of this year). Probably 10# was the whoosh/water weight from starting South Beach.
Anyway … I’ve seen 2 inches disappear from my neck, my butt is disappearing, lost something in my lower chest (didn’t measure that particular area but can now button a suit jacket). My waist has remained big (for me) and very stubborn.
It budged !!! Only 1/2 inch … but it finally moved. Long way to go … but it moved !!!
w00t !!
