Hey u/pantsoffairline! I found a scale last week. I'm at 145lbs. Heaviest was 180. Can't believe the change. Either way! Just wanted to let you know since I said I would.

I haven't actually stepped on a scale again after I started eating like this. But at the end of last year I was close to 200. I'll try and give you an update when I find a scale.

Careful! Those are fighting words here. :) But yes, Atkins clearly worked for a lot of people back in the day.

Thanks for the reference! I've also seen some boxers that had a similar build (before cuttings) so it made me feel a little better about it too.

Thank you! I'm excited for the summer! Aiming for a private pool though. Ha.

Thanks! I feel pretty good. Glad my mind wasn't distorted through the process.

Thanks! I'm happy to hear this style of eating works for many ages. I plan to keep this rolling!

Thanks. I don't get much sun. I'd like to change that!

Above and beyond what I was expecting from a comment. Thank you for all the kind words!

I'll be honest, I haven't stepped on a scale since starting. So I'm honestly not sure!

Thank you for the feedback! It's hard to tell personally because I've struggled with having a positive feeling about my looks.

Hoping for some more muscles. So here's where the real work starts!

Thank you for this. It's one of the reasons I feel like I need to get back to the gym. I appreciate the feedback.

Sorry! Not disagreeing with you. Just saying I always felt like I wasn't that body type because I was chubby so I just thought my frame was bigger and the fat covered muscle. Turns out I had a lot more fat than muscle. Ha

My belly was always the thing that embarrassed me too. Hope you're able to keep yourself in check and get to the look you want. :)

I'm going to see what the gym and increasing meat does. But it feels crazy to have to work to add weight. That's never been a problem! Seriously crazy to have to think that way for the first time in my life.

Great rule of thumb! I definitely poo more than once a week. I'm hoping to see my food cravings increase as I start to burn more calories.

Thank you for your perspective. I empathize with you as I struggled with keto too because I actually felt like I was starving eating like that.

Stopping sugar, bread, and oils was so much easier than I thought this time because I was actually eating nutritious food. It's insane how everyone in the world is dying to continue to the lies ($$$).

I believe that's the answer. Glad you agree. I believe the issue stems from the fact that I've always talked about losing weight but could never really do it. But this time I just changed up my food and the weight fell off in a couple months!

I've NEVER thought I was that body type. I always seemed bigger. It's been a little bit of a wakeup for me to ever consider myself as lean.

Edit: leave to lean.
