I’ve been listening to the podcast for the past few months. I started a few days after Christmas, after I got on the scale and saw that I had gotten to a weight that finally was a wake up call. I’ve always been petite and relatively fit, up until 4 or so years ago. I have gained 10 lbs a year. Nearing and then passing the age of 40, quitting smoking, and getting re-married all contributing. I also had developed right sided pain, with a gallbladder work-up and ultrasound dx with fatty liver disease. Enough was enough. I went keto. I’m a bit over 2 months in, down to 153 lbs from 171 lbs. I’m 5’ 2.5" in height, so I’m reaching a healthy weight, again. Best thing is that I’m experiencing NO heartburn (a terrible, daily occurrence before), NO more right sided pain, and hopefully some improvement in the liver (I will get a repeat ultrasound after 6 months or so) I have no problems with cravings, I supplement heavily already, and added the mag/pot/salt daily so I haven’t had any keto flu or cramping. I am so much happier, I feel amazing, I lost the core bloat that I had every minute of every day. My husband once commented to me, when I was complaining for the hundredth time that I didn’t know why I was gaining so much, that my “bar treat” was fresh cut fries with vinegar and mayo…he made a joke that maybe I should be watching the mayo. That was a bad time, because he had always said I was beautiful and he loved me however I was…but for him to hear me complain and be so upset, he finally cracked 
I think it’s funny that it wasn’t even the mayo that WAS the issue So he can shove it. 
Anyway, happy to be here

Welcome Melanie. Glad to see another new face. Sounds like you’re doing great! Keto on!
Welcome to the group!!! Glad you joined in. Congrats on your success thus far!!
My ex-husband would say to me “you eat too much cheese and peanut butter”. Well, he can shove it too!! 
this!!Welcome and congratulations on healing yourself, it’s wonderful, isn’t it?!
Ketopia, fantastic, fabulous!
UPDATE: I had a CT scan today, to follow up on the Ultrasound pre-keto that diagnosed me with fatty liver disease. (quick stats: I’m about 26lbs down, I weigh in at 145 lbs, I’m about 5’ 2.5", age 42, keto a bit over 4 months) The CT scan had no mention of fatty liver disease. My boss looked at the report and said it was either reversed, or too minor to mention. !!! This is great news, and the main reason I went to keto. Also, my cholesterol is about the same…better and worse, according to the “ranges”. I understand that is all kinda up in the air, so I don’t really take stock in that. Is there a specific thread on just cholesterol scores? I wanna read up a bit, and whenever I google, it usually just gives me the company line about it.
