Keto Photo Friday: 4 Months, 37 lbs – Got A Long Way To Go Still

3 minute read • March 3, 2015

I posted this to /r/keto last week, decided it might be nice to have it here too. I started “Obese” (>30 BMI) now I’m just “Overweight”.

First time posting progress pics. I was going to wait longer but I was just at a conference where they were doing headshots. I had a similar one taken right before I started keto. Time for a comparison.

Here you have before and after. 4 months, 37 lbs. Oddly enough, both were taken at SalesForce conferences.

2006-10 - In 2006 I started keeping track (mostly daily) of my weight, this picture is very close to when I weighed 276. I later lost quite a lot of weight doing the "Shangri-La" diet and then again lost more doing something similar to "Whole 30". — 2006-10 – In 2006 I started keeping track (mostly daily) of my weight, this picture is very close to when I weighed 276.

The spike in January is when I ate carbs for a week in preparation for a weight loss contest. Gotta level the playing field!
