My body and I have had a very tumultuous history together.  I used to regularly blog over at Low-Fat Kat (see my weight history there if you're interested in the whole story!) and really miss the supportive blogger community as I still struggle with my weight.

In November 2009 I began a bariatric diet (low-carb/low-calorie, moderate protein) and was able to drop a significant amount of weight that I've been able to keep off.  However, in the last few years between lazy habits and social events, I've allowed a bit to creep back on.

As of September 2017 I'm beginning a ketogenic diet, relying heavily again on the experience of others and the many resources on the web.

Because everyone loves a good before-and-after comparison, here are a few photos from around my highest weight in 2008 and some from my most recent lowest weight around our wedding in 2014 (I've put on about 15 since then...boo!)
