Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!! I had my nephews 4th birthday party!! My sister made sure that there was plenty of Keto foods for me to eat, including Keto ranch! She is super supportive and really helps me believe in me, believe that I can do this!! Shes my best friend and I would be so very lost without her.

Ive been really kind of disappointed lately with some of the journals and comments that I have been reading here. I know that there are a lot of people, and where there are a lot of people, there are a lot of opinions. Please remember to respect and love each other, even if we do not agree on something. Everyone is on a different journey, and what works on theirs may not be for you. Do not tear them down, make them question, or give them reason to give up. We should be supporting each other, lifting each other up and helping us move forward, no matter where our journey is taking us.

There is a lot of talk about the Keto diet here lately. There is a Netflix documentary called The Magic Pill that talks about it, the trainer from biggest loser was on Steve Harvey talking about it, there are articles about it. Some good, some bad. We all have to research and decide for ourselves what works for us.

My story: I started keto on January 2nd at over 500lbs. I found this side 2 weeks after, I was already down to 498. My most recent weigh in was Sunday the 27th, I weighed in at 424lbs. I have lost over 75lbs on Keto. I tried diets my whole life, cutting calories, pills, shakes, everything I could think of. Nothing worked. The Keto diet has been around since the early 1950s to help control and treat Epilepsy, there are many long term effect studies. This is not a fad diet, a flash in the pan, something that just came about. This is a well researched and well documented way of eating that works for people.

That being said, it WILL NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE!! Everybody needs something different in their lives. What works for me, doesnt work for Joe, Betty, or Susan, but my journey, my successes will help them see that they can do this, no matter what plan they follow. My loving them for who they are, will help them see that people are there for them no matter their size, their diet, their lifestyle. We are here to help each other along, to jump and cheer for the NSV and to support the unexpected gains. Dont judge my diet because it isnt something that you would do, or didnt work for you. Its working for me, and that should be what is important. There are people here who are strict vegans. I am not a vegan, could never be a vegan, but when they post pictures of their foods, I support that, tell them how great they are doing. I dont tear them apart for not putting chicken in it. That doesnt help anyone.

Love each other, support each other, lift each other up. Help each other reach their goals and celebrate with them when they do it! Do not judge a person for their WOE, the diet the follow, or the journey they are on. Love them!!
