0:17.4	It is great to be a part of this group. I haven't been here for a long amount of time. However, I have learned so much from reading the posts and watching the videos. Here's my story as of today. In mid-July of 2018, I decided that I needed to lose a lot of weight and work on my fitness. I consulted my doctor. She suggested that I eliminate foods
0:38.8	that are high in carbs and sugars. She also explained the keto lifestyle and caloric deficit.
0:44.2	We spoke about having an active lifestyle. I weighed in at 400 and 48 pounds. I am 6 foot 8 inches.
