    I lost 11.4 kg/25 lb in 7 months.I just went for my check-up with my doctor.My over all health is good but I'm low on Vitamin D and Zinc and I've been losing hair for a month now.
    I have 4-6 kg/ 9-13 lb to get to my goal weight of 48-50 kg/ 105 -110 lb/ BMI 20.
    I don't mind losing weight slowly and I try to eat healthy too.
    👩🏽‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬A check-up is a good idea so you know for sure you eat right while follow keto/ low carbs WOE.x 💓

    @Malimalai

    So glad your check-up was good!!! That's great!!!!

    We take a B12 and a D vitamin sublingual under the tongue, so they go straight to blood stream. They work well. My boyfriend quit taking his prescription D and started the sublingual tablets.

    He had fibromyalgia partly due to D deficiency.

    I started on Feb 24th at 245lbs
    My first goal weight was to get out of the 200's which I hit in the end of June.
    July has been a slow month, but I have lost 50lbs to date and I am currently trying to figure out my Ultimate goal weight. I am still considered overweight by the BMI standard calculator and would have to lose about 25 more pounds to get into the "normal" category. I get my physical in the fall, will have blood work checked and discuss ultimate goal weight with my Dr.
    Just want to say I love reading about everyone's journey and each and everyone of you have been and continue to be an inspiration to me!

    Starting weight on keto: 242 (March)

    Current weight: 196

    Hoping to get down to 130. I’m 5”8’ and that is a 20% body fat. Not sure it will happen. But trying to see if that will help with sucking in lose skin I’m sure I will have. I’ve read that is the percent body fat that can get rid of lose skin naturally. If it works I plan to gain a little back and stay between 140-150. Just so I can have an easy daily calorie goal lol. Plan to track on MFP and stay Keto or low carb for life.

    I have almost 60 to go... I haven't been sticking with keto for a couple months at least. Honestly, since before going back to school last summer :'( I'm done and in a nice job now but I always have a reason to overeat and overdrink in New Orleans... I was slim before I got here LOL! Tomorrow is day 1 again for me
