See, being HOTT ain’t no sin, I reckon.
Me noticing, on the otherhand…
All joking aside, this thread IS inspiring. Thanks for taking the time, and that goes for A BUNCH of people!

Leech therapy saved a friends toes from being amputated.
Two weeks of therapy restored feeling and circulation.
Oh come now. I’m 42 and still think that compliments are a good thing. My husband would take it as a compliment as well so you’re good.
And yes, this entire thread gives me hope that the medical establishment will finally take notice and acknowledge that keto is beneficial for your health and we can begin to shun outdated nutrition paradigms and finally put Ancel Key’s faulty study to bed. Viva la revolución!
You look lovely Dawn! : )
And pain-free dancing is a fantastic goal!!!
This has put a huge smile on my face - best weightloss goal ever!
How in the world did you lose so much weight in so little time.? It’s remarkable.
no! No! NO! I don’t want to deal with any leeches unless I am trapped in a polluted river somewhere in the Amazon after surviving a plane crash…and even then NO!
@farmgirl Arlene, I’ve never had much trouble losing…but rather in MAINTAINING. I get real…um…focused to a fault, probably. That and I just doggedly stuck to my plan. I am well suited to the KETOgenic lifestyle, because it isn’t sweets that call my name from the abyss. I do NOT hear the Siren Song of Fudge, Candies, and other (poisonous) Sugary Treats. I’m not immune mind you, just…meh… and I’m grateful for that.
What I suffer from is that FULLNESS is PLEASURABLE, at least temporarily. So I over indulge, that’s all.
On Dec 29th, 2016 I weighed 322 pounds. (Ten years ago, 333. YIKES!!!)

Nov lost… 8.5 Hit my goal weight (185) on Nov 15th.
This morning, April 25, 2018 I weighed in at 180.4 and feel waaaaaaay better than I deserve to feel at 64, having been obese my entire life.
Not bragging, because I only want to pass around the inspiration and encouragement I’ve received doing this WOE.
Aaaaaaand…only being 5 months at goal still makes me feel like my impending doom is just around the corner.
See, I’ve lost weight before. Once I lost 85 pounds in 6 months and kept it all off except about 100 pounds of it. (pause here…to let that soak in, wink wink)
Starting weight 221 - Current Weight 175. I was doing keto back in late 90’s - early 2000 while I was working out every day. Love eating meat, fat, and everything that was in the keto specs. Was gaining some decent muscle and losing some fat. Keto back then was not really a thing in the mainstream and there was not even close to the amount of research, communities, recipes, etc then it is now. Back then I relied on Lyle McDonald’s Ketogenic Book. Was decent but sometimes it was kind over my head on some things.
Since that time I stopped keto and gained weight up to 221 lbs. Then I started on weight watchers, it’s a good program but wasn’t for me. Then I decided several years back to start keto again. Even Though I knew how to do keto, this is when I realized the wealth of new information out there on keto. Especially the recipes, products, and keto communities. Including Intermittent Fasting. Every day I learn something about keto whether it’s something scientific or just a simple new recipe.
I have maintained about 175 for the past several years and seems to be the best fit for me weight wise. Keto to me now is second nature. I could not tell you when the last time I ate a donut, cake, pie, potato of any kind, or anything else that is non-keto. I can go out to eat anywhere and find me something to eat that is keto friendly.
So in a sense, it is my lifestyle now and I do not have to think about it much anymore. It is on automation. Making keto a lifestyle on automation is the key. At least that is what I think. You will lose your sense that I have to have this or that {bad thing} to eat or drink, your urges, etc. But time and strict keto is the way to accomplish that automation. Or at least that is my opinion.
So everyone out there struggling, keep at it and the time and effort doing keto will eventually kick in and become your lifestyle too. Don’t give up and continue to learn more about keto every day.
So Keep Calm, and Keto On!
You look FABULOUS!! And you look much smaller then 183, you must be very tall. I want to be 183 - it would change my life to be that size. LOL!!! Congratulations.
