225, 215, 205, 195.

Last year, I hit 250. Last March, even with Zumba, I was eating so much delicious carbs at Halal Guys (lol), I couldn’t get lower than 237. I decided to give keto a try after a fellow Instagram foodie kept texting me her low-carb high-fat food porn.

For three weeks, I lost 1 pound every 2 days. My progress slowed down a lot since then, but 1.6 lbs/week still adds up after 6 months.

After lots of experimenting, little acts of discipline, and conquering my weight one plateau at a time, here’s my progress from April, June, August, and October.

Hello, high school football weight. It's been a long-ass time.

Started at 250, now I'm here…

The last time I saw this number, I was 17. Just last year, I was at my heaviest. And here I am now, staring at a number I NEVER thought I'd see again.

Thanks, Keto and Zumba. Hello, one-hundreds.

And see you soon, pre-knee injury high school football weight.
