I've now been on this journey for 8 months and I am so proud of the progress that I have made. 80 pounds is a huge deal. My struggle is that for the last few weeks I've been bouncing around the same 3lbs. I have 20lbs and 3 months to reach my goal in the time frame I wanted. It's going to be a really close finish. Going to try and switch some things up and hope I can get past this bump in the road. Ultimately my goal is to just have an amazing vacation at the beach with my family in a bathing suit. Here's to kicking ass for the next 3 months? -------------------------- #ketolife #ketobeliever #ketodiet #ketogenicdiet #ketofam #ketogenicliving #ketoaf #lowcarb #eatfatlosefat #bodybybacon #momsonketo #ketomama #weightloss #keto #ketogenic #ketocommunity #ketoresults #ketosis #sugarfree #carbfree #transformation #weightlosstransformation #extremeweightloss #myketotransformation #lchf #iifym #macros #motivationmonday #fitspiration #fitspo</p> <p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A post shared by  Barbs??

Kimberly Powell

Just when Kimberly Powell thought no diet would ever work for her, she began keto in 2016 and her life changed for the better. An Arizona mom of three girls, Powell grew up in a poor household where fast food was the easiest and most affordable option. Keto, or what Powell describes to Women’s Health as “lazy keto” (not being super serious about keeping track of everything she eats and allowing for more cheat days), taught her to enjoy preparing food for her and her family. Powell continues to share her weight loss journey to her 256k followers on Instagram. You can follow her here.

This picture on the left is one of many “before” pictures. I remember taking a picture every Monday morning for MONTHS and it would be deleted before the end of the week. For some reason this one made it through undeleted and my journey actually began a short time after it was taken. I’d like to say there was some magical equation that made me follow through that last time but it really just came down to me having enough. I had enough of feeling tired, sad, disgusted with myself, unhappy with where my life was, embarrassed that I couldn’t keep up with the level of energy my daughter had and disappointed that I was not showing her the healthiest of habits. I know everyone will have different breaking points or reasons for making healthier lifestyle choices but this is the best way I can explain how I managed to get the motivation to give the #ketolife a shot and lose 114lbs.. #throwbackthursday

Fall Funday Part 1 Fall Festival in Yorktown, VA — I couldn’t start this post without doing a little side by side fall family portrait—2013 to now. Holy fucking shit balls y’all. We gained a dog and lost 230 pounds. That’s an obese adult. Enough said. — The second collage features me after a successful jog up a hill that 3 years ago was too much for me to walk up without getting winded. I appreciate this new body so much. — The third collage is a few outtakes. Enjoy. ?
