Keto craziness take 1

I'm back - and doing something different again to try and lose this darn weight.  I'll skip back a bit though as there have been a few changes with me the last few years.

A few years ago I was diagnosed with High Blood pressure. I knew it would happen because both of my parents suffered from it and my dad is one of the fittest people you will ever meet.  I know my weight doesn't help keep the numbers low but my genes play a bit part.

After starting meds to stabalize my BP I decided to try some new diets. First it was Whole30 which worked while I was on but was hard to stay on, especially with summer and the fruits and the drinks!!

Then last April I decided to go back to Weight Watchers. Mostly because I wanted to lose some lbs before my son's graduation.  I went form 210 - 189 in about 2 months. I felt awesome and looked decent too! 

Then summer hit again and the diet stopped and the weight started to creep back.

Fast forward to today. Or rather a few days back and I was sitting at 207, so almost back to where I started last year and needing to do something again.

So after seeing a co-worker lose over 100 lbs doing the KETO diet I figured I might take a stab at it. I'm also very concerned about hubby as he has packed on the lbs the last 10 or so years and it seems to all be in his belly area. Not good.  I dont' know what his weight is at now, but I would guess somewhere around 275.  He's doing the journey with me.

So skip back to last sunday June 3rd, this is when we started Keto.

My starting weight was 207.

The first few days have been ok. Some days I have no energy and just want to lay on the couch.  But I have not had any flu like symptoms or headaches etc. I also had a period during that time which lasted the normal 4 days for me.

On June 10th, I weighed myself and I was down to 200. WHAT? 7 lbs!!! that's incentive to keep going right!?

Here are starting pics that I took Just so I can keep a bit of a record for myself. 

Hoping my skin will clear up a bit on this diet as well.... but worried about losing hair!

Starting measurements (after 1 week cause I didn't take them earlier)

Weight - 200
Waist - 41
Hips - 45
Bust 43.5

Here we goooooo again.
