For the past 18 weeks I've been doing IF. Eating once a day at the 23rd hour. I eat mostly Keto and some days let my carbs come up a little bit but still LC. I'm rarely between 40-50 grams/carbs/day but mostly am between 10-30 grms/day carbs. When I started i was 274 lbs and I am now 204 lbs as of this morning. I was pre diabetic, had high blood pressure, and the early stages of a fatty liver. All my health markers have improved greatly across the board and I am no longer pre diabetic, and now have perfect blood pressure and no fatty liver anymore. I feel very very good and have tons of energy. I have a large frame so with that my goal is to get down to between 174 and 180lbs then adjust my eating in order to gain some more lean mass and maintain that.
Hope i may be able to inspire others out there who are also looking to do the same improvements to their health.
Some of the pictures of when I started, then when I got to 214lbs and the one with the jeans is this morning at 204 lbs.

Lol yup I need some new shirts and pants. I still have some old stuff that fits but most of it is out of style lol
Thank you! I'm very glad it is uplifting. I love hearing others success and there are so many great motivational people/stories on this forum. Glad to share mine.

[That is so awesome. I started keto on May 26. I have been afraid to weigh lol. I can tell that I lost some inches, but I don't know about pounds. My friend who started with me has lost 15lbs since then. Do you find it helpful to weigh yourself and if so, how often? Also, do you use keto sticks or exercise? We walk around the track for at least 40 minutes 3 to 4 times a week.

I weight myself once a week. And I've done a few Dexa scans over the 18 weeks. But the clothes sizes dropping and the look in the mirror I find the most rewarding And I take progress pictures along the way as well. I use a blood tester to test ketones. I was weightlifting and bike riding but hurt my lower back so haven't been doing any exercise for about a month now. 2 -

Thank you. Yes I eat once a day, every 23-23.5 hrs. Around 4PM3 -
Fantastic progress! I've just been working on this about a month, and I've only lost a few pounds so I'm a bit jealous, but I haven't been as dedicated as you have been. My progress will be a bit slower, but I'll get there! Thanks for sharing.2

You look great and losing fast. I suppose that you are also working out a lot to not have excessive skin issues later.0 -
