Between January and March 2019, I strictly followed the old style red and green slimming world method.  I lost 5 stone on this back in 2002/2003 so decided it would be a good way to do it.  By March, I had lost 1stone 7lb and I was frustrated.  Determined to continue losing, I joined the FitMum programme on Facebook.  I did all the exercises I was told to do, gained muscle but did not lose much weight.  I followed this from March to July.  

By the end of July I was beyond frustrated.  was still only 2st down and fit to throw in the towel and that’s when I stumbled upon the Keto diet.  I had done something similar to this a few years ago but had gained weight as I really hadn’t understood what I was doing, but this time, armed with more information, I embraced every macro going!

Between September and December, I lost a further 2st taking my total to 4 stone for the year.

Going into 2020 I’m still following the keto lifestyle.  The loses are now much slower (around 1/2lb a week), but I’m ok with that as I’m really enjoying this way of eating and hope to stick with it.
