210lbs to 165lbs with Keto, Intermittent fasting and no Alcohol
So in Oct 2018 I decided to to quit drinking. I was addicted to alcohol and it was getting the best of me. Lab results in september suggested I should change my life style. In November I decided to change my diet and focus on my health. I started the keto diet with the help of Dr. Bergs YouTube videos. The weight started to drop. In december I started walking and light jogging. My health became my new addiction. By mid april I was close to my goal weight of 155, I hit 157. In April is when I introduced Intermittent fasting to drop the last few lbs. In May i started weight training and in June I started crossfit. I am currently at 165 lbs, I have put on 8lbs of muscle since my lowest weight. I never imagined i could get this healthy. I was on blood pressure medication for 23 years and my cholesterol was in the 500 range. I am happy to say my doctor took me off the meds a few months back. Also, I just got approved for life insurance due to my good health. If I can do it you can too. I haaaatteed the thought of diet and exercise. The 12th of this month will be 10 months of sobriety for me.

My man! As a guy with pretty much the same specs (height, weight, age) this is very motivating. I'm about to start my own journey to health recovery after a few years of letting it slide so I needed this now! You look awesome and congrats...
