Wow 16 years on FR and only got in trouble once (better than I did in my 28 years in the Military!)
Yeah I didn’t find Low Carb until Dec 2018 and even then I messed it up a couple of months so in that respect I’m an underachiever (I have only lost 40 + or- lbs)
Lost about 10” off my Beer Gut, dropped my BP from 198/ish over 98 /ish (at the Dentist Office it would be 220 on the High side and she wouldn’t even work on me until I did Deep Breathing to get it down to a “Safe” level and I was on Meds then) now I walk around at 130/79 ish. Christmas 2018 I was wearing (tight) 42” waist jeans now I’m shopping for 36”.
I am OFF “ALL” Meds (the BP stuff was the worst) and Dr says “Keep doing what you are doing”
I do want to go get an A1C and a CAC Test (I can do Glucose/Ketones tests after that and then infer Insulin myself... cheaper at home and I’d rather have the Data than a Snapshot)
I do not care a single whit about Cholesterol (but my Dr always wants that test)
If I was to ever give anyone any advice it would be to (in order) go to the Pantry and Throw away All Veg Oil, All Sugar/Candy and Syrups (including Honey) Noodles/Pasta, Rice, Flour, Corn Starch, Potatoes, Grains/Cereals and build simple meals with what is left and that would be a great start.
Get to know your Butcher, I get so many GREAT deals on Fatty Steaks and Chicken Thighs and as he has now went Keto himself, when he sees me he knows what I am looking for and then the High Fat meats are the most discounted and worst displayed.
Thank you for your kind words

You’re welcome and LOVE THE STORY.
This kind of reminds me of the Barr hearing where he said that Trump was being spied on. The Democrats didn’t make the claim, but it was implied. The claim being that Barr is LYING HIS ASS OFF, under penalty of PERJURY, just to protect Trump, someone he probably isn’t even that crazy about (given his swamp background). According to the Democrats, we’re supposed to believe that Barr, aged 69, with 3 daughters and probably a bunch of grandkids, was willing to GO TO JAIL for the rest of his life to protect Trump. Like hell.
So it is here...one story after another and, no, you weren’t called liars, directly, it’s just that your stories were TOTALLY DISCOUNTED by a person here, who’s convinced that you guys have done everything wrong...regardless of results.
