The Journey of 1000 miles
I began following a Ketogenic diet in 2015 at 332 pounds. Within two years I lost a total of 152 pounds and approximately 67 inches. I have maintained my 152 pound weight-loss.
I truly love the keto lifestyle and will never look back.
It has been a true lifesaver for me.
At 332 pounds I began my journey to a healthier life. From 236 to 332 pounds I had tried over 5 different trainers and always incorporated a low fat low calorie diet none of which worked.
I reached out to a local trainer Jill Murphy @ Mission Fitness, she not only incorporated a physical workout program but also advocated the Ketogenic diet in my regimen. Prior to working out with Jill I had been on prednisone for the better part of 14 years up to 60 mg a day to treat my eczema. Using an inhaler up to 4x a day and taking 800mg of naproxen daily for my back pain. Within a month of following the ketogenic way of eating I was off the steroids, inhaler and naproxen.
My doctor had mentioned possibly having a back surgery. I knew it was time to lose weight and make a drastic change.
So when I say keto has been a life saver I truly believe it.
The journey isn't always short & sweet, there will be those moments when you think it just isn't working.... but believe me it will!
Trust the process, be patient and determined you will thank yourself more often than not along the way!
I just want you to know if you are battling the weight loss struggle know you can do it... make time for yourself.. invest in you.
You will be so grateful! Remember you didn't gain the weight overnight and it will take time..
let's do it while we still have time.
