Hello,

Long-time forum member, posting up some progress photos to celebrate the end of 2018, the year I sorted out all my problems by adopting a ketogenic way of eating.

Here’s my non-scale victories and my weight loss goals threads:

A few great NSVs after five months on keto

I started keto in April 2018 and it’s really been like a revolution in my life. For around the last eleven years I’d always been at least overweight, and for perhaps half of that, I’d been obese too. I had played around with LCHF (completely oblivious to the science behind it, it was just a personal experiment) and it worked well but I fell back into bad patterns. This time around it feels far more like a lifelong WOE and simply how I live now. On to some great non-scale victories I’ve picked u…

In summary, since April 2018 I’ve:

• Lost 100lbs (45kg, 7 stone)
• Dropped my HbA1c from 10.1 to 4.6
• Maintained a ketogenic way of eating without feeling deprived, frustrated, constrained, bored, or unenthusiastic. It’s been full speed ahead for a long time.

Here’s a couple of photos of me when I was overweight. I don’t think these are even at my biggest, but probably close to it. My heaviest recorded weight was 308lbs (140kg, 22 stone) but I’m sure I went past that at some point. Most of the last ten years I hovered around 280lbs (127kg, 20 stone).

November 2014 (around 280lbs)

Look at that silly belly. Taken on a roadtrip, one of the few photos I have from around that time that shows my body. I didn’t really like being in photos.

December 2017 (just one year ago, around 290lbs)

Taken in San Diego with my daughter. I was getting pretty round.

December 2018 (last week, 189lbs)

Belly gone!

December 2018 (yesterday, 188lbs)

At Disneyland with my daughter having a good time. I had endless amounts of energy all day.
