In my last blog post, I revealed that I have gained back 85 of the 115 pounds that I had lost over the past few years.  This was tough to admit, but it was easier to publish because I already had a plan in place.  At the time of my last blog post, I was already 1 week into my Ketogenic diet plan.  In just one week, not only was the weight coming off, but I was feeling really good also.  So, now that I am over 1 month into my plan, I'm here to give you an official update.

​Below, you will see my weight loss, waist measurements, and a look into how I have achieved this recent success with Keto.

This week's update will be much shorter than last week!  Thanks for stopping by to check on my health and weight loss progress.

This week's update is much different than I thought it would be a week ago.  After several weeks of weight loss, my weight unexpectedly shot back up again.  Here are the numbers:

There is a lot to cover in this week's edition of Stephen's Weekly Update!

Aside from the usual progress numbers, I'll be talking about: 
- My ketosis experiment
- A new book I'm reading 
- A very exciting update on my search for a new scale!
Ok, first things first...here are this week's numbers:

Two years ago this week, I stepped on the road that has led me to a nearly 110 lb weight loss.  At age 29, I was more unhealthy than I have ever been:  350 lbs, severely obese, high blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, constantly exhausted and depressed.

Fast-forward to today:  241 lbs, normal blood pressure, stable blood sugar, plenty of energy, an active lifestyle, and very happy with my life.  I am definitely still pushing toward my goal of 220 lbs, but compared to two years ago, I am in a very good place right now!  Check out my timeline below with my updated stats at the bottom.
