2 Month Keto-versary (w/ Pics)

I started keto to help with chronic pain and fatigue issues two months ago. In addition to giving me my life back, I've lost some weight/inches and am reaching goals I never thought possible. Onward and upward (err... downward? hehe)!

I'm nowhere near where I want to be, but I am continually making progress. Thank you for being such a wonderful, encouraging, and informative community. heart hugs

For the first time in my life I'm starting to get shoulder definition, and I'm ecstatic! My curves are becoming actual curves instead of rolls. I will need to have some skin removal once I reach my goal, but I've come to terms with that. I look forward to the day I don't have to rely on Spanx to keep everything in place, lol.

You're doing GREAT! And trust me, at your weight I doubt you'll need skin removal when you're down to your goal. Skin removal is really only necessary for extreme weightloss - 300lb+ down to 130ish. And sometimes not even then. :) So DON'T WORRY and keep goiiing!

As much as I wish that were the case, I'm almost positive I will need to. I have a flap from pregnancy weight gain and really shitty genes. I'm down almost 65 lbs total and things are not looking pretty at all. It will be a literal miracle if things tighten up on their own. :(

Clothes are miraculous in what they can hide, huh? I have the preggo pouch, too, coupled with a c-section shelf. Can you say floppy? Hells yeah, I can! XD Not pretty might be saying it nicely for mine, I know just how you feel.

Glad I'm not the only one. C-sec here too. Ugh. :/

You are definitely not alone!

To add insult to injury, my immune system flipped, and attacked the incisions (it was a real emergency, so they cut through my abs). I didn't heal well at all, & I have virtually no core strength. I'm so thankful that I was able to have a VBAC with my 2nd (and final) baby.

I call mine the mudflap. Or sometimes cooter canopy, depends on my mood. 4 sections..I'm wrecked.

Thank you for posting. One of these days I may figure out how to post pictures. My 2 month keto-versary is this coming Saturday (10/4)! Been in a little stall, but I know I've made great strides. Your pictures really reinforced that for me. Give your body & skin some time to adjust and tighten. KCKO!!

Awesome change in only two months! I'm feelin' ya on the skin surgery... I have pooch any mum would expect, though I haven't had kids. I just got fat at a very young age. It's getting lower and more crêpey by the day :( Damn I look better in clothes though!

Yes. Clothes are my only saving grace. I'm actually feeling attractive for once in my clothes!
