I lost about 120 pounds (~55kg) over about a 19-month span in 1999-2000 via keto dieting. That's long before Reddit existed, the Usenet newsgroup alt.support.d

I lost about 120 pounds (~55kg) over about a 19-month span in 1999-2000 via keto dieting. That's long before Reddit existed, the Usenet newsgroup alt.support.diet.low-carb (and its parent) were the online equivalent back then. I guess some people find pics helpful, but my thought process at the time was that the last thing I wanted to do was look at myself; in retrospect, it would have been useful to have done so. (I documented diet and workouts rather than measurements and appearance, as I was seeking a reproducible "formula" for success. Biology is not that simple or objective, however.)
