One year ago I weighed 370lbs, today i weigh...
242 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
128lbs in 12 months!
A year ago, I could barely walk to the mailbox without being out of breath, today I'm biking to the gym, working out and biking home. (yes, even on leg day). I have not been this small since probably 1997 or so.
I really had no idea what to do, I just continued to add weight and add weight, year after year. And then, I read an article (on a political site no less) that talked about how the guy was 299lbs and he was not going to go over and he lost 50lbs in 6 months eating bunless burgers, bacon and eggs and meat for dinner. 10lbs a month for a fat guy without doing much work would be great. The article (which I can't find again) referenced /r/keto and I explored. Read the FAQ, read links, ordered the books and thought "oh, what the heck"
I lost 30lbs in the first month.
Clearly, my body cannot deal with carbs (or grains, I feel so much better since not eating grains, even on a cheat) and without them, I feel full, I feel better, I feel human again. My blood pressure is in the normal range, the meds are long gone (in fact all meds are gone). Except for the lack of hair, I feel like I'm in my 20's again. My energy is back (who needs to eat? fasting is easy) and i've gone from a 4x shirt to a 1x. and from a 48 fat jeans (that barely barely barely fit) to the 40's in the picture that are too big and I can actually pull down without unbuttoning.
What you are really waiting for, the pictures.

I don't have any pictures at my heaviest. (nobody wants to take pictures when they are fat), but those 2 pictures are pretty indicative. Both are probably 350ish or so.
i didn't have surgery, for the first 6 months I didn't work out at all and only started because i wanted to (and actually the scale loss slowed down). It's called the keto diet and it's basically meat, cheese, and green leafy vegetables. I have bacon and eggs almost every day for breakfast, some type of meat with a veggie or a salad with desert. high fat, medium protein, ultra low carbs. Easiest thing I've ever done.
