2018 JUL 31 -- Day 111

My weight is down today from yesterday, but it's way up from my lowest point. I don't like it. I want it to drop again. The problem is that I have decided to try eating instead of fasting for 5 days a week to see if I can kick my weight loss back into high gear. I don't know how long I will continue with this pattern, but what I hope to see is my weight stop going up, and start heading down again while I'm eating. My weight loss slowed a bit too much for my liking, and that's why I'm trying this.

Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 340.6 lbs 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

I love that I get to be near my husband while we work. We are together nearly every day, and nearly every hour of every days. We are not tired of each other yet. But the awesome thing is that we get to work together doing the same job int he same office with nearly identical schedules. We have a one-day shift between our schedules; he works a day that I don't, and vice-versa. We both have customer support positions, and we take calls all day long.

The reason I am bringing this up is that I get to hear him occasionally talk about me or us or keto. He is so enthusiastic about these topics that his customers seem to ask for more details. He spends most of the time on his calls just talking about these things. I love how excited he is about the progress I've made, and about how he has been able to lower his blood glucose to the normal range.

At first, I was worried about how sad he was at losing carbs from his diet, I thought he may not be able to follow-through so completely. I'm happy that he has been able to adjust and maintain this lifestyle. This will benefit us both greatly in the long run.

He also likes to discuss keto with anyone who will listen, too. When we are out on the town, and we start talking to other people, the topic invariably turns to diet, health, and keto. When we are at a restaurant and need to order off-menu to fulfill our dietary needs and restrictions, the topic turns to keto, naturally. It was a difficult transition, but we have made it past the hardest hurdles. Now it's just a slow and steady marathon that we can comfortably handle.

I am excited that my husband is so excited graph:

2018 DEC 2 -- Day 235

I have been gone for a while, but I have not given up. And today I have exciting news to report! I have officially lost 100 lbs! Yes. From my highest weight ever recorded of 425 lbs, I have dropped to under 325 lbs. I can't believe it! I've come so far, and I am looking forward to being a normal-sized human by this time next year. I changed my short-term goal weight to 299 lbs because I want to get under 300 lbs next. I still can't imagine it, but I'm almost there! Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  322.2  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  299 lbs I'm more of a carnivore now than doing keto. So that has changed. I stalled in my weight loss for nearly 4 months as evidenced by the graphs on my graphs page. So I cut out the salads and a lot of dairy. As soon as I did that, my weight started falling off again. I call it "keto-vore," though, because I still like to consume olives and use coconut oil and coconut cream, etc. Bu

This keeps getting better and better and better! I'm too excited for words! 402 lbs! Can you believe it? I'm sure you can, but I can't. All methods of losing weight I have ever tried -- and there have been many -- have failed. With Shangri-la , I literally haven't changed anything except for taking the 2 tbsp of oil twice a day, and my weight is dropping. Sure, the oil regimen makes me eat very little, but even when practically starving myself before SLD, I never dropped weight. It also made me ravenous and gain weight from the inevitable binge that followed! This truly is the "magic pill" diet. A no-calorie-counting, eat-anything-you-want, exercise-free diet that actually works! It couldn't be any easier than this unless I had a magic wand to make the fat disappear in one flick of the wrist. I tell my husband my weight whenever I take a new measurement, and I'm very excited when it goes down like this. I'm excited quite often. He doesn'

2017 NOV 4 -- Day 77

OMG! 375.2 lbs! This is the lowest ever!!! Wow. I can't even tell you how exciting it is to see 375 lbs on the scale. Most people would be, like, "that's still super heavy, though." I know. I know it is, but you don't understand! I've been over 400 lbs for so, so, very long! I'm almost 25 lbs under the 400-lb mark. Imagine you've been trying to lose that last 10 lbs that just wont budge, and then all of a sudden it's gone. That's the closest thing I can equate to this feeling. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  375.2  lbs  ⇩  Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  359 lbs How much do I love down-blips? All of it. All of the much. Think about this. It's a loss of almost 40 lbs. That's, like, 4 10-lb bowling balls. Try carrying 4 10-lb bowling balls. One is heavy enough! I use a 10-lb ball. I know how heavy that sucker is! And let me tell you, losing the equivalent weight of 4 of those: wow!    I'm also having
