Hello, my name is Katie and I must brag for a minute, because nobody else wants to hear it

(Bacon, Not Stirred) #1

Since I started my keto journey on June 26, I have lost a total of 18" and 29.4 pounds. Can I celebrate now?

The scale can be a real devil - donā€™t listen to it!! Have you measured your waist? I find that is the best gauge of real progress. I lost 25# of fat quickly, and then have stayed at EXACTLY the same weight for 3+ months, but my waist and hips have continued to gradually shrink, and my A1C has continued to go down and down (was 5.7, now 4.8)ā€¦ I believe that with keto the body gets busy behind the scenes, converting fat into muscle and building bone and reducing inflammation and generally doing (often much-needed) renovation work, which doesnā€™t necessarily register on the scale (DEVIL!). Keep calm and keto on!

Haha thanks everyone! Itā€™s been a while since Iā€™ve been on and chatted - itā€™s been a crazy couple of months. I donā€™t need to tell you all that. Youā€™ve lived through the last few months!

Anyway, so now Iā€™m down from a starting weight of 269.4 (at the doc office, my personal highest was 274) to 211-217 depending upon the day. Iā€™m feeling pretty stinking hot!

Also, Iā€™m off of my BP meds, no longer pre-diabetic, have TONS of energy and am down from a size 22-24 to a 14. HELLLLLLL yes.
