At 69 years old, the ketogenic diet enabled me to summit Mount Fuji

I went from 265 lbs down to 140 lbs. I am 69 years old and 5’8”. Two years back, this would have been impossible for me. However, since starting keto in May 2018, I’ve shed 125 pounds and successfully hiked a mountain. Ignore the skeptics who say Keto is ineffective; it truly works. Don’t believe anyone who claims your metabolism is too slow for weight loss at this age. It’s possible. Also, don’t think you can just binge on bacon; calories still count. I’ve lost 125 pounds! Currently, I’m a size 8 and feel a bit too thin, so I’m working on the maintenance phase. My goal is to reach 145 lbs. Always believe in yourself. Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Hell yeah. I’d give you a high-five right now if I could.

That’s fantastic. You look great. I’m the same age and began my journey the same month you did. I’ve lost 95 lbs so far. It has been an incredible year.

This was exactly the motivation I needed today. You are truly impressive! Thank you for showing what’s possible after 50. You’ve motivated me to get serious about Keto again. I want to achieve what you have!!

To my incredible Mom, I am so incredibly PROUD OF YOU! You’ve always inspired me. You’ve survived non-Hodgkins cancer for 16 years, quit smoking, and now you’ve conquered weight loss. Your dedication means my husband and I get so much more time with you. You were there for my wedding, you’ve seen your two grandkids who adore their Grammie, and now you’ll be there to see them grow up and finish school. All because you chose to take care of yourself. I’m so proud. Love you, Mom!
