    Hi! You’re post resonated with me! I did Keto successfully for two years. I plateaued 4 months in to that 2 years and started at it until I no longer felt healthy. I have a recent neck issue that has resulted in diminished use of my left arm. So pretty much exercise is out, other than walking. So I am going to power into this. Once I drop 30 lbs. I’m going to change my macros to maintain my weight. I would love to have a friend on the journey.

    Wow, that's nice loss - congratulations!

    Somehow I missed seeing your post back in October, or I would've responded. I'm also a cancer survivor, had a similar drug regimen for that, am severely hypothyroid (but properly medicated), lost from class 1 obese to a healthy weight at age 59. I had the high cholesterol, but wasn't medicated for it - losing weight brought mine solidly into the healthy range, and it's been there for nearly 8 years. I'm still in maintenance.

    Wishing you continuing success!
