My journey started 348 days ago

Started on February 15, 2024. I was 546lbs. (I was actually probably more than that but I had no access to a scale that could weigh me and that was the last weight I knew I was).

As of January 24, 2025 I was down 199lbs. I am now 347lbs. I might be insane but I was so annoyed that I was not down 200lbs, a nice round number, but that's neither here nor there.

I am on carnivore. My diet mostly consists of ground beef, dark meat chicken, sausage, bacon, shredded pork, eggs, cheese and sour cream. Occasionally I will throw in shrimp, a steak when I can afford it and during the holidays I ate a ton of ham and turkey because those meats were cheaper by the pound than anything else for sale. (I am not advocating for this diet, I just wanted to indicate what I am doing.)

I am eating so much less food than I was before. I used to be hungry literally ALL THE TIME. There was no point where I was not hungry. I am also physically in better health even when I was at this weight before. I had terrible knee pain, that is gone now. I had lower leg swelling, severely, now it's almost completely gone. I used to get boils under my skin that would need to be popped, no more of that. So much more energy. I am actually sleeping at night so I'm not falling asleep randomly all day.
