My beginning weight January first, I decided that this year I want to be one of those huge weight loss success stories. Doctor told me I had high blood-pressure, and that because of that I was at a higher risk for a heart attack. Despite being this weight since fourth grade I had always been "healthy" when it came to doctor visits, never had I had high cholesterol or anything related to heart issues.
This is my weight journal, one month of no carbs, no cheat days NOT a single day was I not in ketosis. This month I decided to try to just focus on low carbs and not worry about any workout routine or for that matter even calories. I am on a prescription for Belviq which is an appetite suppressant but I didn't start taking it until the 15th.
Now that January is over I'm starting my two month plan. This month I'll be doing the same weigh in every morning, but I'll also be tracking every food/drink that enters my body, when it enters it, and how many calories/fats/carbs are in said items. I will also be doing cardio 28 days this month, 40 minutes days 1-7, 50 minutes days 8-15, an hour days 16-28. Hopefully doing this will stop the week long plateaus I had this month.
If anyone needs help/advice for some keto foods like ice cream, breakfasts, lunches, proteins, and such just comment or private me and I'll answer.
My goal is 250 pounds by April 13th, the day I leave for Colorado for the Junior olympics to support my sister :). Body pics will be posted then.

attaboy. I'm not doing keto, but def. low carb. I've done two rounds of 21 day fix and am down 40 lbs since this time last year.

If you're diabetic don't try the Keto diet.

Keto is all about constant motoring intake. Stay diligent, high protein/fat. No added sugars, low/no carb.

Watch your protien. Keep it around 20%of your total daily calories. Too much protien will keep you out of ketosis. If u didn't already know.

Exercise is definitely a good idea. You can be thin, but still unhealthy. Heart health is just as important as weight.

Not to mention that it will allow you to maintain a caloric deficit with a higher daily intake.

Awesome! Keep it up! You'll continue to feel better every week. It's worth it. Convinced me to go to the gym today too

Are you using ketosticks? What areyour protein, fiber, and water intake like?
leemon69
I have stix but no need to use all the time as I track carbs in every time item I eat, pork chops l, steak, hamburger(85/15), chicken thighs
leemon69
No fat removed from any, I need to get a fiber supplement its very noticeable, and water is 64-128 ounces just depends.

Belviq is only prescribed? I would love some
leemon69
Yes, bmi of 35+, and dependent on income can be $240/month... They do have a discount card that makes it $82 if you pay cash
RedWarBlade
good job- how does it feel?
leemon69
Honestly at the moment not much different, but I know if I get under 300 I'll be lighter than I was 8-9 years ago in 4th grade. Haha
RedWarBlade
Well keep up the good work. Ive struggled with weight, at the gym it took me a long time to discover that they key to my own health was 1/x
RedWarBlade
to strengthen my butt and back. So I would walk uphill on the treadmill at extreme angles, do the roman chair and the lat machine and others
leemon69
Yeah, my key will be to get to 220 area then weights, I use to do competition weights but my joints couldn't handle it anymore.
RedWarBlade
ah yeah its hard stuff. I casually deadlift am wondering if maybe its more harm than good

Any noticeable side effects with the Belviq?
leemon69
Nope, really bad headache first day but I wasn't hydrated enough... Drink a lot of water. If you plan on belviq go on their website and get
leemon69
A saving card from them, made it go from $240 to $82 a month.
wolfshades

What's keto diet? Super interested in this , since I've been trying to drop some poundage
leemon69
Less than 20 grams of carbs a day, basically no bread/wheat, and no sugar in a way. I eat mostly pork chops, steak, hamburgers, taco salads
crimson492
What do you drink like just water?
leemon69
Water, carbonated water like the "Ice" brand, I allow for a 16 ounce Diet Pepsi, unsweetened almond or cashew milk. The diet soda is iffy
leemon69
You really have to test your body when you're I. Keto to see how it reacts to diet drinks and artificial sweeteners
