I live on a college campus and fried, sugary, and carb filled foods are constantly at your fingertips. I have been able to deny/avoid all of the foods so far (it has NOT been easy) but today was definitely a big moment. One of our dining centers is buffet styled with large to-go box options. Normally, I grab a salad, some meats, and GTFO. Today they had literally all of my absolute favorite foods; a LITERAL buffet of chicken fingers, french fries, mozzarella sticks, pizza, brownies, and ice cream. Not only could I have eaten a mountain of all of these foods for hours if I wanted to, i also had the option to bring ANOTHER mountain home with me. I didn't though. i got my salad, steak, broccoli, and continued my day. It was very hard but I am proud of myself and I wanted to share with someone.
I also checked my weight the other day and I am 60lbs down, which has really strengthened my resolve.
3Only 50 pounds away from 200 and 100 pounds until I start eating at a calorie surplus to bulk up before switching to a keto deficit and repeating until I look less like a sac of 12 day old balloon animals. Crazy that I'm down, a normal human's weight in a year. It takes most humans like 12 years to weigh that much lol.
Thanks for your continued support Keto fam. I'm not done losing this fat yet, but the day I am I'm buying you all steak..ok, not really, but I'll deff post a pic of me eating one...or three.

Hello r/keto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you are doing AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Just some ramblings from the BigTexan World Headquarters.
I realize that I am old. but back when I was young, we called plant based meat "Vegetables".
I have not watched one minute of the Harry Potter stuff. I do like Colonel Potter.
I turned my spare bedroom into a gym. I love having it. Landmine attachment. The best $30 I have ever spent.
I am almost out of Whiskey. Might have to switch over ot vodskey. You know what they say: Vodkskey then Whiskey, never risky. Whiskey then vodskey, mighty tasteeeeeee.
I like peeing in the backyard before i go to bed.
I am drinking my beverage out of a protein shake mixer Blender Bottle thing. I think of it as an adult sippy cup.
My Windows laptop was getting a bit old and slow, so I switched to a Chromebook for personal stuff. So far so bueno.
I don't like to ice fish. It takes too long to get my boat launched :)
Be right back--gotta pee.
For the 1st time in 15+ years, the scale dropped below 200! I’m a 6 ft male and have lost 48lbs since May. The last 3 weeks... I hovered around 202/204 and was getting frustrated. This morning, it finally happened. I’m thrilled with where I am and I feel better and healthier than I have in a long time. I appreciate the tips and posts from this community. It helps keep me going and I thank you for the help.
I just got on the scale and it is below 78kg/172lbs for the first time.
I started at 98kg/216lbs.
My goal weight is between 65-70kg.
So another 10kg to go. I'm 2/3 down to my old weight and current goal. I haven't been obese for a while and really looking for those healthy weight BMI. BMI is 26.7 right now
Long time lurker, thanks to this subreddit for all the information to help me get to where I am now!
After having body image issues and weight problems since I was 12, just over a year ago I finally decided I'd stop making excuses and finally better myself. As of today I have lost a total of 30 Kg and can finally say I feel comfortable in the skin I'm in for the first time in 10+ years. Setting myself this goal and finally achieving it even throughout all the highs and lows that come along with life, I can finally say not only do I feel proud about the way I look, but also the way I feel about myself. Started at 112Kg now at 82! :) https://imgur.com/a/NGQpu8r
