Jan 2021 I was 238 pounds and 49 years old and the heaviest I had ever been. I had a hysterectomy at 37 leaving only one ovary intact. I went though menopause at 43 and the weight packed on. I tried several diets through the years and I yo-yo ’ed my weight and have clothing stored from size 6 to size 22 which is what I was in when I said enough is enough. I contacted Keto Five-0, Eric Reynolds and explained my situation and my keto journey began. As a side note, my husband (51yoa) started this with me as well. When we began, he lost very FAST! And I became frustrated very quickly. Eric coached me through. It seemed like I would lose for a week or two then be completely stalled for two weeks or more, but my hubs kept losing, then he stalled. He lost almost 50 lbs, but I caught up... Eric told me that my hubs would be a sprint, and my journey would be a marathon. I would go up 2-3 lbs then down 4. In Nov 2021 I was 191 lbs, a 47lb loss!! Then COVID got me. I was hospitalized, on a ventilator for 4 weeks, ICU, rehab etc. and finally got out Jan 2022…2 months in hospitals and rehabs. I turned 50 during my hospital stay and I tried to continue my keto, but hospital food is not very accommodating… none the less, I lost another 25 lbs on the COVID/Keto diet. I am now 166 lbs which is 72lbs total loss. My goal is 150…only 16lbs left…
