I still have a ways to go. I want to get to 225 and stay there. But for the first time in my life, I feel like I am completely in control of the fuel I am putting in my body.
that is great. the control aspect has to feel liberating

I found out something kinda funny from my wife this this past weekend. I was snoring pretty bad which I attributed to growing older because I didn't really snore when I was younger. However, it appears the snoring was due to my weight gain because now that I slimmed down I don't snore anymore.

So hoo-ray for my wife!

Thanks everyone. And grats, Michael!

My biggest medical benefit so far has been completely ditching my diabeetus diagnosis. But second to that has been improved sleep. I still need a cpap, but I find I can nap without it now, which is cool.

I recently started keto for all the reasons specified on here. Down 25 lbs and 6" off my waist (down to 190 so far). My wife recently told me "I can get my arms around so much more of you when I hug you now!"

She also told me that my neck is the smallest she's ever seen it. Which I guess is a compliment in its own weird way.
