I love your post!
 

I especially love your closing line "2015 was all about getting healthy. 2016 was about getting strong. 2017 is about building a life I love."

This time (second time), my LCHF WOE will become a "WOL", and I am totally focused on creating a good LIFE, not just a skinny torso.

Thank you for making time to write!

Congratulations , you look fantastic.

Your start and your progress and your goal closely parallel mine. I'm 5 months in and I've lost right at 70 lbs. I've had one slip(it was yesterday:( ) congratulations on what you've done. Where are you with it now? I hope your building that life you love! What an inspiration you are... I needed this today as a reminder of what I'm doing and why.

Thank you!

Where am I today? I am 2+ years of eating this way. I no longer weigh daily. Only a couple times a week. I have added twice weekly weight training and am working with a personal trainer to accomplish strength goals. In addition to physical strength, I had to develop mental and emotional strength. I had something happen in my personal life that knocked my world upside down. My weight went down quite a bit and then back up. I never got above 9 pounds over goal. I am currently sitting between 4-6 pounds above goal. My focus is not on my eating right now, but I keep it keto. I never want to go back to the way things were and all the health problems I had.

I am working on building a life I love. I feel that getting my health back and maintaining it is key. I can only do that by healthy OP eating.

Wishing you success on the journey!

Renee, what a wonderful success story. What I saw in your write-up was determination, a plan, and consistency throughout. You were lucky to find such a great doctor, too! Everything you did was the way to lose weight, for sure!

I especially liked seeing the Dexascans...it's fascinating to see where the body sticks all that excess fat....and weight! Anyway, you look fantastic and I admire your determination and eventual success! Best of all, you have maintained that weight, which is probably as hard or harder than losing the weight in the first place.

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing your story- so inspiring!

Renee! WOW!!! :D LOOK at you! SO beautiful and healthy! Absolutely an amazing accomplishment. :agree:
