    I still have a pair of shorts that I took my very first "starting" pic in. I'll take a new pic in them when I unpack my clothes for summer. (I mean, for goodwill!). lol
    I want to take the pic at the one year mark on my Ketoversary!

    My one year is coming up soon. though I wasn't keto or lc the whole time. I'm sort of anxious for it. I was going to do another progress pic on March 3rd but I may wait till my one year on March 18.

    I don't think it matters what you've done if it's working! Can't wait to see your 1yr pics!

    I don't think I'll ever feel done. I was just thinking it'd be nice to my goal weight by then but that's not going to happen. Though close maybe. It's all recomp now even though I still weigh daily.

    I feel you. I have a long, long way to go. I'm also attempting some recomp. So far, I've seen some progress, and I'm definitely stronger. I figure I've got enough padding to turn into muscle. Lol.

    Congrats on being so close to your goal weight!

    You're doing it right. I did no exercise till recently. By the time you get your goal you'll be tone and strong. The goal weight actually almost becomes meaningless it's funny. I'm heavier now than I was in 2011 when I lost weight but I'm wearing the same clothes.

    I'm shooting for anything under 200 to start. I was looking pretty slim at 180. Realistically, I'd like to be around 150, give or take 20 depending on how I feel. I've never been toned or muscular at all, so I'm not sure what 150 with a low BF% is going to look like!

    I know my calves are built like tree trunks, and solid muscle. So that's some indication, perhaps? I think I'll always be "Big". I'm cool with that, if it's strong-big, not fat-big. I just don't want to be sick and die young.

    I hope that out loud thinking made sense :)

    Thank you! I'm down 65. Another 100ish is no big deal. Ha!

    Reading this thread made me realize that technically, today is my Keto-versary - though 1/15/16 would have been my low carb-iverary...

    Do I have to take time off for my bad behavior over the holidays? It doesn't feel like a celebration. SIGH

    @Panda_Poptarts great pics! Hubba, hubba! LOL

    I'm at 51 LBS now and hope to lose that much again, but seeing your loss of 65 is inspirational. It feels attainable when you see others have made it. WTG!
