New rebel on the loose

[dnraikes]

 

I am 5 feet 5 inches and as of last October I was 215 lbs.  My doctor said I needed to lose about 25 lbs to get my blood counts back into good range.  I tried cutting back on carbs (or so I thought), and bought a treadmill which I was using 5-6 days a week.

A friend told my wife and I about a low-carb high-fat type of diet in april, and we switched to that kind of diet immediately. I also introduced kettlebells to my workout routine which I use 6 days a week or so.

 

Within 4 weeks I was down 19 lbs and am on target for losing 50 lbs by my daughter's wedding in October.

 

Just completed a masters in cyber security at the age of 55 years old, and am ready to start applying the new knowledge in depth.
