I began following the Keto Diet July 1st. Before I started I researched everything I could find on how to follow it. What foods were best, how many grams and total calories. It is based on High Fat Moderate Protein and low carbs. I track everything on Fitness Pal which is a free ap. Basically keeping Carbs to 20 grams or lower a day and eliminating added sugar is the key. I have not been hungry or felt deprived on this way of eating. I also go to gym four days a week. Pool Exercise for at least and hour.
Checking in here because I am inching closer and closer to dipping below 225 lbs and I am SO excited!
My goal for 2024 is to hit 220 lbs because that would mean I am in double digits again in good old-fashioned kilograms and itās been a long time since that was the case.
@Tjc1982 Your progress is noteworthy. I started back to the gym in June (sporadically) and have committed for the last eight weeks to three times a week. At my age, it feels too bad when I miss a workout and go back, so Iām more committed than ever.
Itās hard to actually realize how far youāve come when you are literally stuck with yourself day in, day out. Soā¦ Iām just gonna leave this here. About a year ago, I attempted to hike this somewhat easy yet rather steep trail. It didnāt go too well and we had to turn back before completing a third of the way. Yesterday I went back. 20 kilos lighter. It wasnāt easy, but I made it to the top and back. Likeā¦ I still got a way to goā¦ but bloody hell, donāt I look different?
You sure do Amy!
And well done for that climb too!
You look good in both pictures bit you sure look healthier and more energetic in the second one.
Respect!
Came back yesterday after a 2 week holiday in France:
Choissants, chocolat sandwiches, blue cheese (loads ), icecream, macaronsā¦
I ate it all ofcourse and weigh 2 kilo/4,4 lb more then before my vacation.
Soā¦work to do!
Canāt do much exersize because of my foot injury unfortunaly so I have to be creative in that.
I try to do some powerlifting when sitting on a chair.
Going to downsize the sugar and focus on more protein and eating smaller sizes.
Going to share my progress here to keep myself acountable.
Today day 1 of better and ānormalā food.
Not easy because we still have a box with croissants from France left
I wanted to be strong when I decided to change my habits. Strong not skinny. Iām still pretty hard on myself, but today I reached the 18 kg weight loss mark myself. I feel fitter and stronger and healthier.
The difference is remarkable, you look great @Amy30
I had a similar experience in 2021, hiking with my sister near her holiday home in Germany. I couldnāt make it up a hill and was quick to blame my reduced lung capacity (from a pleurectomy operation)ā¦ Surprise, surprise, I tried the same hill this year, 20 kgās lighter and had no issue!
191.8 lbs
Not sure what I think about this.
I mean I donāt need to loose anymore weight. But I like to read lower numbers in the scale. And Iām afraid to put some weight back on.
Well all my pants fit. So I got that going for me.
Canāt remember, too excited about being 192.lbs
), icecream, macaronsā¦
