Hey, everyone!

I'm new to the app, but not new to Keto. In 2015, I lost nearly 60 pounds on this diet, going from 298lbs, down to about 240lbs in 4 months! That wasn't my final goal, but man did I feel amazing. Well, I ended up getting too comfortable and stopped eating as well as I should have been. THEN, I got pregnant again. I was over the moon, but knew I would be gaining weight that I didn't want. Regardless of the fact that during pregnancy it's natural, it was hard to see that scale creeping up. 

I ended up having a lot of complications, but delivered a healthy baby girl via c-section 3 1/2 months ago. I'm the mother of 6 beautiful girls, actually. They are 13, nearly 12, 10, 6, 3 and my 3 1/2 year old. Now that I'm done having children, I'm ready to take my body back for good! 

I'm currently the largest I've ever been in my life and I despise it. I started keto this time at 308lbs on October 30th. I'm already down 4lbs at 304 only 3 days later. Man, is it nice to see the scale go down. It's always been such a motivator for me. My first goal is getting back down to 240lbs. After that, 199. My final goal will likely be somewhere around 150. I haven't weighed that since I was a teenager. 

 

Its a pleasure to meet all of you, and I look forward to sharing my journey as motivation for anyone that is morbidly obese and feeling hopeless. YES, THERE IS HOPE. WE CAN DO THIS!

    LOL! Most definitely a warning to many! It's so easy to get comfortable and feel great that things just kinda start slipping. You live and you learn, I won't be making that same mistake twice, haha! 

    I appreciate the warm welcome. I'll gladly help anyone that may need it. Keto can be confusing, especially at first. But man, when you finally have it down, it becomes second nature.
