@Larkspur94 Congrats! Love to see the success of the people here on the Keto board. This is the key victory above all else: "I look great". It's such an amazing feeling to look at the mirror and not hate what you see. I dealt with that for years and finally one day I went wow I actually look good and not a sloppy mess anymore.

My health has been going downhill so I knew I had to get back on Keto.
A little history - I have a form of genetic high cholesterol plus a strong family history of heart disease and early heart attack.
When I had my last appointment my Dr told me I was prediabetic, cholesterol was still high even on medication, my blood pressure was high and I was very overweight 😢
I got back on Keto and today had another appointment. My bloods now show perfect blood sugar and cholesterol and I’ve lost 8kgs - all in around a month.
Unfortunately the tests also showed that my cholesterol meds are causing muscle damage so I need to discontinue them immediately. My Dr and i are hoping that losing more weight plus ongoing Keto may keep it under control so will repeat tests again in a few months..........anyone else have genetic high cholesterol?

My husband literally got his bloodwork this morning after 100 days of Keto his triglycerides went from over 1000 to 61. His cholesterol is genetic as well. Bloodwork again in six months and they’ll start lowering his meds.

Yeah.. the pictures are my NSV moment. Looking through old photos on my check-in page and I couldn't realize how much my face went down.. 2.72kg/6lbs off my New Year's Day goal weight and it's been a crazy trip 161 days into keto.

I did not eat the bag of peanut butter m&ms (the BIG pantry-size one) we got for Christmas. not only did i not eat the bag, i haven't taken any of them yet. considering how much i enjoy them, and something i could (and used to) eat in a maximum of two sittings, i am calling it a win.
