Wowsers my friend that is a complete transformation.. well done you!
Thanks BB! That means a lot, it always seems so dramatic doesn't it? I appreciate all the support you've given me.
Absolutely stunning progress and well deserved,
@Caeseji. You look very handsome. Congrats on your results and all your hard work.
Gosh, thanks Ziggy! That means a lot coming from you, going to have to keep this up so I don't lose 'em.
What a stunning transformation
@Caeseji . You're another one who has lost a whole me, plus my voluminous handbag.
You look so handsome and so much more at home in your own skin. Huge well done!
I really do keep forgetting just how light you are and thank you, that really puts it into perspective when you put it that way. I do feel that way now, probably just mainly down to feeling healthy again instead of the pains that I dealt with before.
Brilliant! You’re looking very dapper in your waistcoat. How many people have walked passed you and not recognised you?
And you were top of the bill on the DCUK email update today. Well done!
I am going to blush, I was top of the bill on the update?! Seriously?!
I really am flattered! Honestly a lot of them, friends whom haven't seen me in even as little as a year have to do a double take, one of my college buddies said it was only my distinctive walk that gave me away. Thanks Rachox, that seriously blows me away with all your kindness.
Incredible! You look FAB!
Thank you Brun! That just makes me grin to see that.
Wow what a stunning transformation well done and truly inspirational.
Just a bit of reassurance on the maintenance worries I’ve been amazed by how the body kind of settles once you reach your ideal weight. I’ve had to make some tweaks to adjust but am at low ideal weight still after achieving it around a year ago. I was always a serial gainer and loser with my many many low fat diets but keto keeps me weight stable, bgs in control in good health and more balanced, I used to have lots of anxiety and depression.
Great work - you look amazing
@Caeseji
Awwwwh thanks Shelley! People like you spurred me into action and got me finally on the path to losing the weight I thought that would be with me for good. It's reassuring to hear that it stuck for you like this, not planning on changing anytime soon thanks to me eating the food I have always loved. Odd that, I noticed my bipolar disorder disappeared when I really got stuck into low carb, strange how that happens isn't it?
Wow. That's unbelievable. You're a superstar. A handsome superstar.
Okay NOW I REALLY AM BLUSHING. Thanks so much ert, everyone here is a superstar for fighting back this condition side by side.
Remarkable. Looks like two different people entirely.
Bravo sir.
Thank you very much sir, again people like you with the know-how and advice are what got me here so it means so much.
My hero
got stuck in straight away.
done the hard yards, full on.
smashed the HBA1c
Now this... what a transformation.
(and a hell of a nice guy to boot.)
been a pleasure watching your progress, young fella
look forward to your continuing success....
Goodness me jjraak you are slaying me with these compliments, let us not say that we shy away from the grubby work, eh? Looking forward to your own as well and wishing you all the best. Thank you!
Well done on getting the weight off @Caesiji...
Gonna keep on doing my best, that's for sure! Thank you!
Everybody has said it already but I can't let this post go past without saying OMG, you are looking fabulous!!!!!!!
It's so appreciated KK, I bought the clothes especially for my new job and they fit me perfectly so I had to show off a bit!
Thank you!
I’m impressed, great stuff.
I bow, I bow and I thank you for the kind words!
@Caeseji wow! What a stunning transformation. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
No more stunning than your own, it really did inspire me and thank you for all your help.
Good grief! What a transformation, not only in appearance but I can see confidence oozing from you in buckets. You rock.
I seem to have come out of the other end of a fog that I never knew was there, I finally feel like myself again and I suppose it shows?! You rock as well, especially with the newest HBA1C number and the journey you've been on!
Thank you ever so much!
Absolutely fantastic and so inspirational!!!
Thank you Snoddy! Gosh I hope that I am, there's so many people my own age that seem to just be stuck in a rut I want to be there to keep them going.
You are simply... AWESOME !
YOU ARE TOO! Thank you!
Wow! You even look different to your avatar pic.
Well done for all you have achieved. Also for inspiring others.
Probably because I was being natural, I was being a bit of a poser in my avatar but that picture is me how I am normally with goofy grins all the time. Thank you ever so much Pipp and heck you do the same!
Hehehe thank you!
Wow, wow, wow! So many congratulations, what an achievement. You are looking great, you must feel like a different person.
Totally do at times, catch myself in the mirror and do a double take. Thank you ever so much!
That’s amazing! Well done dude, you look great!
Doing my best, dude and I really do hope things will be on the up and up for you too!
From Greazy GODZilla to cheesy
mozzarella
What a change, inspiration to lot. Keep up the good work...you are looking awesome.
Mmmm.. Mozzarella, my fave cheese right there
Plus bonus points for noticing the King of the Monsters there too, thank you ever so much! I shall keep it up for as long as I am able.
What an amazing journey. Not only did you lose the weight, you restored your health. I took a peek at the A1c's listed in your profile. Wow. Just wow! And the best part is you have so much life to live ahead of you!
Thanks Winnie! Again you and the others really showed me the way and keep helping me to gather information that will keep helping me to keep my health. You've done so much to say how long you have had this condition too and I do hope that things keep getting better for you too.
You are an absolute winner on every level. Well done on your progress. You look absolutely fabulous.
Thanks ever so much, I am wishing you all the best for the future too!
A truly great guy, but not in the voluminous sense! We need more ambassadors like
@Caeseji
Thank you! We really do, people that will want to get out there and show the way to the people just languishing but you know what? We have so many already being absolute stars in this forum.
superstar ...well done young sir.....
Thank you!
