So this will be my second attempt. This time with more structure and planning (which I believe was the reason for my fall out last time).

I've hit an all time high of 214.3lbs on Saturday 7/9/16 and decided I just couldn't allow myself to keep getting fatter. My attempt at keto last time had me at a loss of about 12.5lbs... didn't last long. I also wasn't working out and was severely restricting calories to about 1,200 per day.

I'm 5'9 Male so I think that might have been far too much restriction.

This time I'm between 1,600 and 1,700 calories a day and my macros are based off of Ketogains calculator.

150g Protein
110g Fat
25g Carbs

This also will include a 5x5 Keto Novice Strength Routine

I bought an app called "Stronglifts" to keep track of my workouts. I also purchased a gym membership to a "REAL" gym (not Planet Fitness :smiley:)

I'm hoping to see some results! It is Wednesday the 13th of July today and I'm down to 208.8lbs which I assume is water, but it's something! I'm also thinking about starting a YouTube channel to vlog my progress.

Has anyone else done this routine?
