@dashrender Awesome!

Crossed back into the 270's this week.

Red wine is the best.

It's been a good year for Dashrender - down 40 Lbs since January!
Brought my mile time from 8:29 to 6:47.
Only bad thing - good cholesterol is a bit low (but bad cholesterol is in the good range). Doc suggested I drink Red Wine to improve the good Cholesterol.

@dashrender that mile is almost as good as my best mile (in highschool) which was 6 minutes flat.
Awesome job!
-
@dashrender Good job dude!
-
Yeah, that's some amazing work.

I've been planning a bodyweight-only resistance training workout plan for myself over the past few days.
I have a lower back issue that is slowly healing, and shouldn't put unnecessary strain on it for a few months.
Bodyweight weight training for a full body muscle workout is doable, and in some ways better than using weights.
I'll post it once I'm finished. I think it could help others as well. You can do it at home. No gym or any equipment needed.

I've lost about 60 lbs since may from doing keto. I just simply stopped eating chips and drinking soda, or any other carbs, and the weight just flew off.

I did all that, no effect

Up until I started, carbs were basically all I ate. I went from probably like 200 carbs a day down to 20. I've never been a person to "diet" but the way that I do keto, its so simple that I don't even have to really put a lot of effort into it. I will probably have to start adding in more exercise though if I want to keep loosing. Ideally, I've got another 50 lbs to go.

I'm vegetarian, so that makes carbs harder to avoid.

yeah, I dont think I could have done it without being able to eat meat. I basically have not had any fruit and limited veggies in 5 months. Lots of meat, cheese and eggs.

My lunch is often... bowl of steamed veggies.

It doesnt help me that I've never really liked veggies. I can tolerate some salads, but I tend to stick to the basics like carrots and broccoli.

Carbs are needed to maintain a healthy diet, and avoiding them altogether is not recommended. All carbs aren't equal, so I could make a strong argument that some types of carbs are okay and essential, even effective, while on the Keto diet.
I can also point out that generally, sticking to any good diet with decent exercise will result in weight loss.
A common problem with Keto is that it's one of the hardest diets to follow for keeping the weight off afterwards. Many gain the weight right back, plus more, after they feel they are "done" with the diet.... it's not one you can or should maintain long-term.
Keto is not a long-term diet. You need carbs in your life or bad shit will happen.
