Thank you so much for giving me my life back

Joyce gained a lot of weight due to stressful working conditions. Fortunately she found the keto diet. Here’s what happened in just a couple of months:
Hey,
I felt I should share my story to motivate someone to hopefully try the low carb diet and regain their self-confidence as I did. I am 25 years old and gained a lot of weight early this year due to stressful working conditions. I was 95 kg (209 lbs).
I started the low-carb diet in the last week of April and added in two days of 15 minutes workout just for stretching as I have a desk job and have not gone back since.I checked the scale this week (second week of July) and I am down to 80 kg!!! (176 lbs). I have gone down from a size 16 to a size 12! My goal is at 75 kg (165 lbs) so I still have 5 to lose, but I am so excited and so much more confident with myself. Thank you so much for giving me my life back. xoxo
