The thumb down ppl are upset bc she is not standing there looking like an under weight female wearing a bikini.this woman instead is very intelligent, very sweet and looks amazing ,she should be very proud of herself!😊
White Okay ruclips.net/user/postUgkx6K7NWahp9y3ir1gVAwysOCHOOPSnWZbw . I got it from my browser's history. I know that it's really frustrating to be over-weighted but all is possible with a strong determination. Good luck…..
A great inspiration. I’m an 83 year old man. Been watching you for a while and have lost 37 lbs in the last 10 months. I haven’t felt this good in years. Thank you and congratulations on your health journey.
Congrats on losing the 37 pounds. That is awesome.
That's so great!! That is a huge benefit of low- carb eating, that excessive amounts of bone-busting exercise is not required so anyone of any age and health status can do it successfully. Congrats!
Congratulations Skip St. George 👏👏🥳🥳💪
Amazing

To think that they all laughed at Dr Atkins in the early 70's, calling him a charlatan! He's really the father of keto/low carb as we know it today. He deserves that honor and title.
Totally agree!
@@lolacole5653 he was in perfect health...he slipped on an ive covered street and hit his head to hard...thats scary
@@lolacole5653 Death is very unhealthy, so I guess we all die in bad health.
Ginny c in 1987 I read Dr. Atkin’s Diet Revolution. In 4 months I lost 63 pounds.
Ginny c no he isn't.....keto was started for seizure patients. It's the only thing it is good for. It's been proven once off the keto...up to triple weight comes back 🙄
How can people not like this video? She is extremely eloquent, very nice, intelligent and a great story teller. And she makes a valid and important point.
Miss Pippi ...People who are anti high fat eating.
probably vegan people
Perhaps they are just fat and miserable!
Under 400 people don't like it, over 12 thousand like this video. Don't sweat the folks who don't get it.
I Agree 100%
I was told I was diabetic about six years ago. They had me talk to a diabetic counselor and I told her I wanted to loose some weight. She told me to cut carbs and forget about calories. I did and the weight dropped off. I lost 50 pounds pretty quickly and the best part I've kept most of it off. Low carb is the way to go.
I've been on keto for 3months now. lost 32lbs and feel much better too. I hope to get off all my medications eventually.
I heard your not supposed to dr keto permanently. I need to lose weight and considering this diet.How do you guys recommend maintaining?
@@mmichael6108 I understand your concern. However, it is not too hard to maintain a healthy keto diet. Often it is caricatured with accounts of people eating steak, eggs, and bacon for breakfast. That is totally unnecessary. It is easy to find healthy proteins, healthy vegetables and valuable fats to eat. Be happy to expound further.
@@thomasjefferson8939 yes exactly this lady at my job was doing bacon and eggs every day and lots of high fats .So i see results on utube but was scared of high cholesterol or gallbladder problems but other then that interested in the diet .
Congratulations
Michael. Nothing wrong with the bacon and eggs... but it's only one option. I also have concerns regarding increases in LDL cholesterol with increased saturated fat intake but it seems to be related to LDL particle size. Good test for you to request from your doctor.
My boyfriend knows I'm trying the same diet as you, he was looking up recipes for me when I walked in and saw food and said "Mmm that looks good! Unfortunately I probably can't have it." he sat me down real quick and showed me some of your videos and now I'm so glad I found someone who cares about me enough to find meals for me and I'm glad he found you
Well I'm glad both of you found the channel. Good luck on your journey. Give a holler if you have questions or need help.
I did my own expriment and to lose fat fast was eating fibre carbs and rice meat and eggs
How sweet is that?
thats awesome too hear
He's a keeper!
Sooooo proud of you. I learned about this at 72 yrs. lost 50 lbs so far . No more pre diabetes or high BP. Love to listen to you and you are a great teacher! You go girl!!!!
That is awesome! Truly wonderful.
Margaret OConnor Please tell me what you have done to lose the weight. Specifically. I am 70 and it’s harder to lose at our age. Help!
Good for you
Sheri- Two years later I am reading your question. I am your age and need to lose around 30 lbs. I gained because I stopped walking and doing light exercise, combined with eating too many carbs. So it makes sense to me to return to my better habits and watch my portions. All the best with your health quest. ~ Diane
Nice, we need an update
any averse affect such as heart attack or kidney failure yet?
I've lost 92 since July of 2017!! Doing this diet love it
What a lovely story. I have so far lost 22 pounds on a low carb and intermittent fasting diet. Been 4 months now and going strong. Glad I started this journey. Any inspiration helps me to keep going.
Your story is almost the same as mine. I was diagnosed with uterine cancer (stage1) and DCIS in 2017. I had two surgeries and three rounds of radiation therapy and have been in remission since April 2018. In July 2018, I took control of my health by eating low carb and walking everyday, and I have lost 88 lbs. so far. I still have about 50 to go. Your story is an inspiration to me. Congratulations on your success.
Low carb works. I have lost 90 pounds over the last few years.
I want to hear responses from Anyone who is on a low carb diet. I started this month and get so inspired when I hear you have lost that much weight also ! Does anyone have cheat meals or is this a lifetime decision for you ?
Iceagejewels
I still do a cheat meal about once a month.
Do you ever hate counting calorie intake and attempting to starve yourself when trying to lose weight? Do you lack power the whole day because you are not eating enough? I was just like you in the past! I Then got shrewd and commenced following The Venus Factor diet plan. It was really easy to understand and put in practice. In only a week I was already losing weight. Want to find out more? Go here to read more or watch the video. goo.gl/LMCbkr
I lost 95 pounds doing very low carb. Took me about a year and a half. I was 230 down to 135 now and I am 5'5" 68 years old. I had all the metabolic issues mentioned above on the video. HDL was 30 Triglycerides over 400. Now HDL is 83 Triglycerides are just over 100. Cholesterol is a little high but doctor is not worried since everything else is looking so good. Doc was shocked to see me do this totally on my own and at my age and very little exercise other than I am a normally hard worker. He is very pleased with my progress. I have kept it off for over a year now with very little effort. I am no longer hungry all the time. Good luck to you.
I NEVER do a cheat meal. Only cheating yourself and bringing on the hunger for more. If it works for you then great sure does not work for me.
Wow!!! You rock AND roll!! I was 286 and now 150. Health became my focus...weight...well, it is what it is!! I love your inspirational story!
Thank you :)

Awesome! 👍
The Memory Traveler fantastic...You’re an Inspiration to me....so Today is My First Day to Change!,!! 😊
Marc Layton I’ll be thinking of you! It’s many little choices 🥰
Bless your heart. Your story makes me sad. People don't realize how they have been lied to about diet. I'm so glad you finally found the truth. I've been on the keto diet for about 25 years. Yes, it's not a new diet, it's just newly popular. I'm 71 years old now and I actually do cartwheels (not somersaults) on the back lawn with my grandchildren. I stand up putting on my socks, I walk for miles without tiring and I ride my bike within a 30-mile radius, even using my bike when grocery shopping. When I first began eating keto, I lost over 80 pounds and have kept it off. I have been at my ideal weight for many years and I owe it all to the keto diet. For 25 years, I've been in perfect health and don't even have a doctor. I do annual check-ups and all the tests come out great.
Hi Dot I have been watching your videos for quite a while and over the past couple of years been on a journey myself. I remember you saying on one of your vids that you went on the carnivore to try that out. Just really curious how that went for you? I tried it for about 3 months and maybe I should have been on it for longer. But eating just meat is really not for me. It did help with portion control though but I was not digesting well enough. My sugar levels were starting to climb and I am on blood pressure pills. So after alot of research I decided to go on a parasite cleanse as well as a liver cleanse. I was pretty sick about 2 weeks after I started the parasite cleanse. It was the die offs that got me. The dead parasites coming out of my body. But I am under the care of a naturopath and colonic specialist. Not too pleased about having to concentrate on drinking 10 - 12 cups of water per day. That is too much water but if I don't I get constipated.
But I have gone back to the keto diet. It's my best lifestyle diet I'm very glad to hear you are doing very well, you look so healthy also FABULOUS & BEAUTIFUL!!! Keep up the good work girl. 😊
What carbs did you eat to lose weight
I played football in middle school and high school I used to be active now I don’t move much and need to lose thirty pounds
WOW
AWESOME
People are lied to about EVERYTHING.
Exactly the same for me. I tried everything and nothing helped. I had a heart attack at 59 and was put on statins. Statins ruined my health and had very little benefit and made me feel like shit At 69 I was diagnosed as diabetic and did some research and found out that what happened to me was typical and what I needed to do was ignore the conventional advice and go on a low carb hi-fat diet. Did this at the age of 71 and lost 52lbs in weight and weight went down to normal. Please please listen to this woman.
Try bitter melon, or chromium and vanadium
I'm 71 and need to lose 90 lbs; you give me hope....
@@lindakurgan4477 You CAN do it. Try intermittent fasting along with her diet suggestions.
I would do low carb, but never high fat. Where does the fat go, straight to the liver causing fatty liver disease
I can totally relate to your story, the in and off diets, missing periods, always hungry and obsessing bout food. Thank you
My 2 daughter's each lost 80 pounds with low carb! I'm ready to jump on the low carb diet and git-r-done!
I cried after your video. You opened my eyes to see myself! I’m following your videos now thank you for taking time to post them. I’m almost 45... everything you said made sense, thank you ❤️
🌺🌹🌺🌹
Me and my wife went to "boot camp" for two years. We didnt loose a single pound. After keto for a year, my wife is down 70 and im down 50. We feel great.
So much negativity from the family though.
Wooooow-congrats! How many times a week do u workout? And what are you eating now? I have a lot of weight to lose and I‘m thinking about starting this diet
@@MariamAli-wg6gk We walk a few miles a week, other than that , it's mainly about eating healthy food, fat, and low carbs.
The real test is watching your kid eating a huge chocolate chip cookie without taking a bite haha.

,@@MariamAli-wg6gk You really should watch Jason Fung and KenDBerryMd both have a ton of information regarding keto and various types of fasting. FYI, sugar in all its forms is poison to the body, cutting those out is the major part to getting healthy.
Finaly a mature woman experience! that what I was looking for:) thank you, you are lovely
Thank you so much :)
@@Dot2TrotsLowCarbLiving Hi Dot, if you don't mind my asking, what carb limit do you try to stay at or below daily? did you lower your carb intake slowly so it would not shock your body? Thanks,
@@stoverreserve5727 It won't Shock your body to lower the carbs suddenly. You may experience what's known as the 'Keto-flu'... but that will pass a couple of days.
Mee too
Who in the world would ever give this a thumbs down!! You rock Dot!! A new subscriber here!!!
Morons that are probably vegetarians... or carbs addicted.
Because her title is about how she lost 145 pounds. It should be how I got heavy. And how you can join my blog. Because the whole video is wanting blog follows. It’s great what she did. But she doesn’t tell how she really did it. That’s what people expected because that’s what she titled it.
I really like your way of explein it hard to trust what people said because there is so many opinion I will try your advice thanks
I think there are wackos that just go through RUclips & gives thumbs down to videos.
@@stephaniemcclintock4292 As a mostly vegan person new to the low-carb lifestyle, I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find lots of options. Vegan and low-carb diets are not mutually exclusive - contrary to what Dr. Atkins might have said! It just takes a little extra effort to make sure you get enough fat and protein. I feel incredible eating this way, and my health problems are disappearing.
You are my hero!! I have been on Keto since Sept 1,2019 and as of today I have lost 71 pounds. Thank you for your inspiration. I am keeping you in my prayers as you go thru your cancer journey. May God's healing touch wrap around you.

You’re SWEET thank you for this story! I’ve tried keto for a short time and it worked well. I was working a super stressful job and eventually gave in emotionally to my bad habits again. I’ve needed some inspiration and here is your story! I love it. I’m 63 and knees are shot but I know it I get rid of a hundred pounds it will be a game changer. Thanks again! ❤️❤️

hi-5 -- congrats!

Awesome Success!
Child Of God fantastic good on You! Today is the 1st day of change!!!
I'm starting to see why it's the best way to go.
Because I'm having a tough time giving up white rice, dumpling, white sugar and cake.
I thought to myself that you can have these foods, but just eat less of it. But, you're still eating it and it's having an impact on me.
I'm going to try and cut out the white carbs and try to go natural.
But, your success is an inspiration.
Can u share w me ur diet that u ate?..Tysm 4 sharing🙋
How have I missed your channel all these years? Love your honesty.Thanks.
After my wife passed away with cancer 1.5 year ago after 26 years of marriage , and i was looking after my mum who had dementia .and working 12 hours a day . i found my self eating when ever i could find a few spare minuets , this meant sandwiches and sausage rolls off the food van , microwave meals after work and ice creams . Sit down exhausted and depressed cracking open a few cans of beer , bottle of wine at the weekend may be a bottle of gin or malt whisky . week in week out ..the last few weeks i have felt my body change : tingling in my arm and leg like pins and needles , dizzy , this weekend my eye is all red and blood shot .. This is the first time in my life i had felt a little frightened about my health , i'm on my own and if i take ill how will i cope . i'm 58 , 5 foot 8 and would say about 17 stone now , i was shocked when i saw my self in a mirror . i need to change my life style from now this day !!! , stop drinking in the house on my own and cook fresh healthy meals , more veg and good things .. i looked at getting food boxes but that's not the answer..i will follow these video's , cook and eat the recipes , take up walking again ... little steps may change my life around for the better ( i hope ) :)
You can do it Neil!
Acknowledging it is a good start. U got this💪
Eat plenty of 1 ingredient foods and avoid industrial seed oils and added sugar. Ever seen Butter Bob’s videos?
neil freeman Checking in with you Neil a few months later. How’s it going? Are you doing a Keto diet?
So sorry to hear you went through that, I didn’t know! So glad all is well... you’re a true inspiration and help me tremendously
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's my story as well! I am on day 4 of going into ketosis and I am ready to work hard and turn my life around. I look forward to watching more!
Absolutely love your testimony and so appreciate your humility, genuineness and honesty! Thank you!
So so glad I found your channel! I am on this same journey, but at the beginning. I started a youtube channel to journal my weight loss and cooking for health- you are an inspiration for me!
The way you expressed yourself about your weight loss journey and how u have had to overcome so many obstacles really made me cry because I myself am going to that same situation. I’ll keep you in my prayers and you have earned yourself a new follower. Thank you!
Soooo glad I found this channel. This story is so inspiring, I can’t wait to watch all your vids. Well done and thank you for sharing 😊

Hey Dot you look amazing and 145lbs is a LOT of weight to lose, I have about that much to lose, but I'm terrified of the lose skin that this
magnitude of weight loss leaves behind.
How did you manage to avoid this? Your face looks great, your arms are nice and firm, no sagging or wagging skin their either. Please share your secret.

I was thinking the same thing. Your voice keeps my attention. Love your recipes. I'm glad I stumbled on this video to learn more about YOU. You have inspired me to keep going on the keto and I love your recipes. I've lost 25+ lbs so far and my husband has lost 55+ pounds. I'm hoping that you have a great recipe for a keto bread.

I also wanted to say congrats on your amazing weight loss. U look so happy. NINA
Hi Dot! I came across this video about a year ago. I don't know what words can truly convey to you how much you spoke to me and got through to me what changes I needed to make. I know you've had a lot of challenges lately and I want to encourage you as much as you've encouraged us. You can do this. You've already done this. You can do it again. Hang in there and we look forward to hearing from you soon!
Sooo glad to stumble upon your video tonight 2019!!! I really needed to see an example of someone that was once like me and changed for the better!
Such a revelation! "Calories in = calories out, just move more" is the biggest lie I've ever heard. Your story is so inspiring!!!! God bless and thank you for posting!
It was a profound revelation for me too.
Right, and the famous Drs quote to dieters "Just push yourself away from the table a little sooner" such BS and so infuriating!
New Subbie. Thank you, i have upped my excerise to walking an additional 4 miles total per day once in a.m. and another after dinner......intermittent fasting has worked for me...low carb low fat diet, water with lemon first thing in the morning.

So glad I found you!! Congratulations on your transformation. I'm really looking forward to watching your videos.
Thank you
You told all it did for you but no suggestions what to eat. I lost over 100lbs by changing a few things. I have hit a plateau for a while and can't get started losing again and wss hoping your suggestions would help....nope
One of the best testimonials of weight loss I have heard and all her delicious recipes that she shares is very helpful. Thank you Dot, God bless you and your family.
Thank you
What a phenomenal and inspiring testimony. Well done Dot... keep up the great work and inspiring the rest of us.
So inspiring, Dot. Love your energy and presence!
This is such an empowering video. Thank you for uploading this and being real and transparent. I've struggled almost all my life being over weight. It's been about a year since I've started my journey and I've never felt better.
Awesome, very happy it's working out :)
Finally, someone who understands my pain!!! Thank Dot for this channel and showing us your truth! I'm inspired to continue my journey to better health!!! 👏👏👏
Best wishes for continued health and beating the cancer. Congratulations on all of the work you put in to get healthier and for sharing your story.
Ms. Dot, I loved your intro. You really got my attention. When you were talking about you, I felt like you were talking about me.
Thank you so much :) I think we all have a lot of the same experiences, which is one of the reason I decided to share all this.

Just found your site and I want to thank you for being so honest and upfront about your health and weight. I am struggling also and I am going to continue to watch, listen and learn. Thank you and you look fab!

Welcome to the channel :)
I’m so happy RUclips recommend your channel in my news feed. I look forward to trying your recipes and weight loss suggestions. I am over 50 and feel the same way about the metabolic syndrome. Wonderful informative video.❤
Thank you so much for doing this. I am dealing with what you were dealing with and I am lost at times. thank you so much and It's nice to see real people with real issues doing these videos. Again, thank you
I did exactly the same thing and lost 30lb 😊
My story is just like you .
Thank you for making time to make this clip
I am so happy to have found this channel....I have been following these young girls in their 20's and trying to stay motivated, but I just can't relate to them. For the most part their videos are difficult to pay attention to because they either have toddlers running in and out, or they want to introduce you to their dogs and cats. How does this inspire me?? I just love that I have found a mature woman with similar health issues and weight range as myself to follow! This is going to be very helpful.....thank you Dot!
Wow, that's so nice of you to say, and I know EXACTLY how you feel. That's what I wanted when I started this channel, and folks like you make me want to keep coming back with more. (note to self: keep my dogs/cats out of the kitchen, hehe). I think there's 1 video with my sheepdog sitting on the floor in it. She gets a quick cameo.
Or they are discussing fad diets/unrealistic/starve yourself diets not lifestyle.
Yes. Or they ramble, seeming to just turn on the camera without a thought.😉
Debbie Lynn Loved your comment! 😂😂😂😂dogs and kids running in and out😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks Dot for this video. I’m 64 and have lost approx 50 lb since Easter 2018. Low carbing, slowly.
I need some more easy recipes to throw into my diet!
Since I’m a caregiver for my 93 yr old father, my time is limited and stress high 🥴
Oh my gosh you are awesome and an encouragement! Thank you for sharing your story and for the experience and the information that you found out. I am on a similar journey that I went to the doctors office and discover that I have high blood sugar and I started to eat low-carb and have seen results are ready I’ve only been doing this for about two months. But thank you for the reminder of not really caring about the number on the scale! And also you have a very calming voice! Thank you for doing this
I lost 31 lb for 6 month on low carb +intermittent fasting.
Planning 10 more😉👍.
Low carb or keto?
Good on You!! This can be the hard end...but I pray the Best for You!! Today is the 1st Day of Change for me! ☺️
Same here.
AWESOME! I just began my low carb journey and exercise
Awesome back! Best of luck :)
What an inspiring testimony of how you completely changed your perspective and lifestyle and started focusing on wellness, instead of calories. You look great! Thank you for sharing your story! Subscribed!
To Wander Freely Thank you! It is amazing what one can do when you put what's really important in perspective. By the way the hubby and I love you're channel. Someday soon we hope to be on the road ourselves.
To Wander Freely i love the clear logic you used i like the thinking its not a straight line
That is one of the best explanations and accounts I've seen! Thank you for sharing your experience. I follow a low carb diet because it greatly helps with inflammation of osteoarthritis. I feel so much better and can be active again.
As an older person (63) I can definitely confirm this, gitarmac! I've lost weight using Dr. Atkins' guidelines on and off for years but I do love food and I sometimes back slide; but when I did this recently and gained weight I felt like I could barely move, my back and hips especially were agonizing. Luckily I knew what to do. I went back to low carb eating and presto - my flexibility and energy have returned, my skin and hair have improved amazingly. I am staying here permanently now.
I am just beginning keto. I have been watching video after video to learn all I can. Yours is my favorite so far. You are so encouraging and real and informed. I am going to start following your blog. Thank you.
Wow, thank you so much! And good on you -- you need to learn from lots of sources, not just one.
I need to update my blog more -- a future project as I deal with too much going on offline, so to speak. But thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Since, I've had my 3rd child, I've struggled with everything you've mentioned. I've had surgery to remove 2 fibroid cysts on my uterus. THANKFULLY, they were non cancerous, but I'm ready to take back my health.
Love this…thanks for sharing your story. I am very inspired to stay on track with my own low carb plan. 💜
So impressed, Dot! I’m on a similar journey and am so inspired by your story. Thank you for sharing.
Dot, thanks so much for sharing your story, your journey, your health and what you now embrace,what it took to get there. Every time I need a low carb recipe I check out your channel and have used quite a few... thank you for sharing this story, you are doing a great service and inspiring others to others really live, me included. We all have something we need to heal from, it's just in different forms

Add on sincerity and that’s what has me wanting to watch more of your recipes with the stories you share along the way. Thank you for the honest, open discussion that is so important in a woman’s life. We tend to take care of everything & everyone else’s concerns leaving our needs last. So excited to have found your videos and I have much to learn especially low carb cooking. My husband has had 2 open heart surgeries and has about 16 stents. Sad, but he’s had so many stents we’ve lost count. He’s not overweight. Exercised and ran marathons. Even stress tests & other heart testing showed nothing’s no wrong. Then he had a load of pressure in her s chest & gratefully went to the doctor. Men can be worse than anyone to see a doctor. He went straight from that office appointment to the hospital & the rest is history. His family has history of heart disease & his surgeon said he’d never seen someone like him with so much fatty plaque in his arteries & who appeared to be the visual example of a fitness expert. That was in 2000 and we’ve been through many ups & downs with health concerns. You are 100% right when you said eating is about good, healthy, fresh food that’s not full of preservatives & loaded with salt. I’m so excited for you and will be bleary eyed for days as I watch your videos to learn more of your healthy ideas. You make your recipes with ingredients easily found and not exotic items that you use once and throw away because it spoiled. Thank you for your courage and inspiration to share your story and your recipes. I hope someone will see your videos & know a good cookbook is waiting to be made. Wishing you all the best & here’s to good health and good for us food!
Thanks so much! Your poor husband. Hoping for the best!
I love your story and just listening to you talk about your journey ! So inspiring ! ♥️
Thank you for sharing your story with us. You are truly an inspiration and I'm happy to have found your channel!
“When I was in my early 40’s”
Girl I seriously thought you were in your 30’s!! Keep it up
Hah, thank you :)
NovaHD agree
Me too. She.looks fabulous.
Facts. 🤔🙂
Dot, you are wonderful. I am leading a group of low carvers on Meetup and I have led them all to this channel!
Madeline, that's so nice of you. Glad you like the channel, and that's great that you have a meetup around low carb. All the social meetups in my area seem to be "going to the bar" kinda things.
Good for you, girl! What a wonderful story. You are truly beautiful. I have had to battle extra weight since I was ten in 1966 and the doctor, after taking my appendix out, told my parents I had too much belly fat. I, too, have been on every diet in the world. I finally just started doing what I wanted to do, being active and the real change happened when I cut the white food way back and ate all the good fats I could. At 62 I think I’ve finally “got it.” No holds barred on vacation and the odd treat. You seem happy. May that continue. 💛
This is a powerful video and thank you for putting yourself out there! You and I have taken the same path including uterine cancer. I was lucky; a complete hysterectomy took care of my cancer and I do wish you all the best. I am down 25 pounds and you are my example to keep moving forward. Thank you so much. Barb
Thank you! I am in the boat you were and this helped me feel like I can get moving least in some direction with my low carb lifestyle. I'm a diabetic and need to keep doing what I am. I've lost 20 since I moved to Texas but need to kick it up a notch!
New subscriber here..... wow, I finally found someone who isn't a 20 yr old and I can relate to! Last time I went to a regular doctor I think I was told I was at risk for the metabolic syndrome. I will be watching your videos and learning!
Welcome and I hope you'll find some nuggets in these videos that can help you.
So glad I found you. There are no accidents in life. I believe everything happens for a reason. I have decided to start a low carb lifestyle and was looking for help, ideas, recipes etc. You ended up in my recommendation list and decided to see what you were all about. I have been down the same road as you. At 72 I have decided something needs to change. I say it's never too late. It ain't over til it's over. You get do-overs!
Thanks for truly inspiring me. Your life story of weight struggles mimics mine. Today officially I'm putting my health first and joining you and the others here on The Keto Journey. I'm excited to feel "well" again. Look forward to watching your videos. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
This video was amazing, very informative. Some thing I need to see and hear. Thank YOU so much for presenting it😍
Transformation is amazing! I just started last Thursday, hoping for the same success. I just subscribed- CONGRATS to you and thanks for sharing and helping the rest of us!
That's great! I bet you do wonderfully. One of the things that helped me keep my eye on the ball was to constantly read and stay engaged with the subject matter (eating low carb) rather than just following a set plan. Knowledge really is power -- as well as reassurance. At least for me :)
You're such an inspiration! I'm in the middle of my weight loss journey and I have a long way ahead of me. I started to eat low carb 3 weeks ago and I'm also going to the gym. I hope I can achieve what you did. Be proud of yourself!
Good for you! And if I can do it, anyone can.
You are awesome! I hear my story in yours. I have been feeling terrible lately and know I need a change and I wake up this morning to your video and I know this is for me. Thank you for sharing. God bless you!
Love love love your attitude and demeanour towards reclaiming your health. Thank you. I’m in the process of making good food choices and safeguarding my health as I had slipped into some bad food choices and put 3 stone on. I’ve now gotten rid of 1 stone and feel much better and I’m looking forward to shifting the rest and listening to what you have to tell. 🌞🌸
Awesome! I am a new subscriber. Just started this lifestyle a week ago and I've already lost 4 lbs, but better than that ...I feel GREAT!
That rocks! Keep up the good work. Thanks for subscribing, and keep feeling great :)

I'm loving your channel, Dot! The recipes, inspiration, encouragement...and your delivery is so polished and professional...you could be an anchorwoman! I heartily agree with your other subscribers--I'm so glad to have found you!
Thank you so much!
Your story truly spoke to me. Congratulations on getting your health back. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much. You have given me hope. I'm just starting a low carb lifestyle. I'm very excited. It's time to get my health back.
