Congrats on your success. We have similar journeys I started strength training day 1 and would encourage you to not wait to get started. You'll look even better when you get to goal.

I didn't really eliminate anything so much as generally avoided carbs and generally favored proteins. Absolutely nothing was/is considered off limits tho, sometimes it's just a small serving.

Wow amazing! Can't believe you did it in only a year! Can wait to see another post next year!

Alright guys, I finally stopped into work a bit early and used their gym. It was really quite intimidating, the one guy in the room was super beefy. But, he was cordial and polite and didn't make fun of my flying squirrel arms one bit, and I was able to get some upper body and ab exercises in. On Monday I'll be back for more.

Woot! As of today I'm down to a normal BMI, 154.5 lbs -- just squeaking in. Still have 10 lbs to go!

Also, I've done one week and one day of weight training. Tomorrow's another round of upper body stuff!

I had gastric bypass in June of 2015 and lost weight but now I'm trying to address stomach issues so I've started a keto program. Do you just do low carb or do you also increase your fat intake as well? Really would love to pick your brain. I have about another 60 pounds to lose.

One high five for the weight loss and another for those boots. You've got style.

I'm sorry, I only did lowish carb -- I didn't do keto at all.
