Tell us your amazing story:
IFY: I started this amazing journey on the 13th of July 2017 with a weight of 98kg. I needed a change in body badly. I was tired of the recurrent boils, Big Tommy, Breathlessness when I walk short distances, body and joint pains, just to mention a few.
I got to my target weight of 68kg in 5months through being consistent, disciplined, sticking to meal plans and joining boot camps. I also surrounded my self with friends and Amazing coaches who knew the lifestyle and were there to cheer me on.
Apart from the compliments 'hey you are looking good' 'I want to loose weight too' People couldn't recognize me again lol. Omg Some would actually stop me and say 'Hello please don't be angry are u Ify?' And I would be like 'Yes please' 
The Keto WOE has brought me a lot of joy and if I may say so, this is God's original meal plan for His creation. I have maintained my weight at 65kg since January 2018. That was my final target.
The fact that people get inspired by my journey and have achieved their dream body as well keeps me motivated. I've learnt how to prepare a lot of healthy meals. I've met lovely people in the course of my journey.
I don't intend to stop.( for those saying its too much) hell no , cos the benefits far out weighs the negatives.
