I started keto January 2nd, so just over 4 months in. I am no fat adapted because I live in house with 5 other people and I tend to slip at least once a week. But am doing the best I can.
I know this is for non-scale victories, but I’d like to say tat Since Jan 2, I have lost 30lbs (I also measure various points on my body and have lost 11.5" from my bust, waist and hips.
But the biggest change has not been physical. Only a couple coworkers were aware og my journey into keto WOE, (one is a very large woman who is also on a weight loss journey, but not keto or lchf), she was the first to comment on the change. She told me that I was carrying myself differently,and that I looked good.
Another female coworker was curious about keto/lchf because she was just diagnosed as pre-diabetic and has 3 months to get her blood sugar in check (sadly I still see her with unhealthy snacks). As a side note this was the situation that my sister-in-law was in and got her into keto and she has lost 70lbs!.
This week two male coworkers have commented on the change in me, The loud mouth perv asked me where I was going, since I was disappearing. He was happy for me.
The other was a timid insecure man that came up to me and said “I hope I am not out of line, but wanted to ask you a question.” he wanted to know if I was running or hitting the gym. I said it is 90% nutrition, 10% exercise. I run 2x a month because I am lazy.
In the last two weeks I have filled a garbage bag with clothes that no long fit. I was away for a training program and discovered I had packed a shirt and pants that were too big. This makes me feel the best. I will be hitting the thrift store next week because I am not done losing and I don’t want to spend money on clothes that won’t fit me in a couple months.
I have a hard time posting a goal, it is more about how I feel and look, than what the scale says.
My body is in a place it hasn’t seen since before I had my first child 10 years ago.
Thank you for all the support.
