Hello, Steven here.
I’ve always been overweight, and I’ve noticed this since sixth grade when I hit over 100 lbs (I was short). Now I’m 32 and starting my new Keto lifestyle at 327.2 lbs.
Throughout my life my weight continually increased and I’ve always felt uncomfortable, often looking to wear jackets or hoodies to help cover up my weight. I know I’m not fooling anyone, it just helps me to feel a bit more relaxed.
I’ve always been quick to turn down activities with friends that I know would leave me out of breath, making various excuses. Only once in my life did I lose weight, going from >300 lbs down to 185, but I never changed my eating habits. Unfortunately due to life situations, that weight crept back on in the matter of a couple of years. I started my new lifestyle at the highest I’ve ever been.
After 3 weeks, I am down 17 lbs. There’s still a long path ahead of me, but I can finally say that I’m excited to have found the Keto lifestyle. Once I begin to throw in exercise, I know it’ll only be a matter of time until I reach my goal of 185 lbs once again.
Thanks to all for your stories and let’s join hands on this journey together!

I'm excited for you Steve! I will totally cheer you on.
I'm completely the same. I work hard and get excited about progress. and then life starts creeping in and taking over. Then I'm right there with you. Try to hide myself. But!! I live in Hawaii! Can't hide very well in this non stop heat.
I'm super impressed by your first big loss.
I hope you do so well. Slowly but surely!!!

Weighed in today at 9:30ish. I’m down a total of 22.6 lbs. It won’t be long before I’m under 300!!

Steven J Noooice! Beast mode over there. 22lbs.
I don't even want to weigh in. I'm afraid of feeling discouraged. Or feeling entitled to slacking off.. I'm bad like that. But I need to check so I can adjust macros accordingly.
That's awesome ,dude! Keep it up!

29.4 lbs down as of yesterday! Slowly but surely reaching my goal.
That puts me at an average of 3.7 lbs/week. At this rate I’ll be at my goal weight of 185 in about 8 months!

After what felt like a slight plateau and weight increase of 1-2 lbs, I weighed in today and am down another 5.6 lbs, totaling 35 lbs. I have hit my goal for our work's wellness challenge 3 weeks early! No reason to stop, need to continue as this is my new lifestyle!
I have lost 10.7% of my body weight in 10 weeks!
