120LBS LOST AND A NEW PERSPECTIVE GAINED

Cynthia

I found you over 1 yr ago, but I wasn’t ready to make that commitment. But you have always been my inspiration. I stepped on the scale August 30 (this year) and I was at my heaviest ever and I knew I had to jump into action. I am proud to say that I have lost 45 lbs since then and you are my go-to for any FB group that I’m in when people ask for help, and this is because you are so genuine. Please keep up the great work that you are doing and of course put yourself first. Thank-you for putting yourself out there and helping me to know that I can do this for the rest of my life.

You are so great!!! I’m just starting this Keto lifestyle, and you have helped me understand this way of life better than any research I’ve been doing. You make it easy to understand and implement. I just ordered your book and am excited to get it and use it!
You are beautiful and have a very relatable story please don’t stop sharing your journey!

Hello Suzanne, I found your information on Instagram and Youtube quite some time ago and started following you back then when you were not too many months into your weight loss journey. I remember the wonderful video you made when you were picked by Quest and was so proud of all you had done up to that point! My husband is a diabetic and is now legally blind from complications of diabetic retinopathy. He was in early kidney failure as well and had terrible lab results, He was on three different blood sugar medications as well as three blood pressure meds. We began to follow a keto diet and he is now only taking one very low dose diabetic med and two BP meds. He is considered completely controlled with his diabetes and his Hgb A1c (this looks at your average blood sugar over three months of time, should be around 5.7, 6.0-6.4 is prediabetes and 6.5 is diabetic), was 17 at first, then 12 when he began keto. Today he is at 6.2, which is considered controlled for a diabetic. He is reversing his kidney failure and continues to work on improving his health. I have been worse at doing keto, I am sad to say. I started out good when we first did this but I keep falling back to the old ways. I came across your book today and am so excited to see how far you have come now and that you have published this great looking book. I immediately got a copy and read through your introduction about yourself. I was moved by seeing how much you have changed and plan to start this new year making it my time to change for the better. I am in my 60’s and in graduate school for my doctorate in nursing, so I want to be able to lose weight and feel good enough to finish this journey I have started. Right now though, I get tired easy and have no energy as I weigh 240. I would love to be able to really succeed this time with staying on the ketogenic diet and be able to help others with the same problems that Mark and I have been through. If only we had known about this before he lost his sight! He is an artist and taught art online. He had to give up the career he loved and can no longer do art like he did since he cannot see detail among other problems. We hope to prevent others from getting into the shape that he did with his diabetes. I myself was looking at an A1c that went from 6.1 to 6.3 in three months, which was only 0.2 away from me becoming diabetic!!! So that really woke me up and I try to follow mainly keto but hate to cook so it is hard to find things that I like to eat and still stay in ketosis. I am looking forward to using your cookbook to change this about myself. I will keep you updated on my progress. And don’t you even think about listening to any of the negative comments on the internet!! It is so full of poor, sad trolls who only have negative things to say because they themselves are jealous of what you are doing. They also obviously have many problems and are hurting so they try to hurt others. You are an incredible example of something so very good, and you need to remember that!! Also remember how many lives you have already touched and will do so in the future!! God has used you in a mighty way and I know He is not finished with you yet. 🙂 Much love to you! Lori
PS: I look forward to finding some good recipes in your book that I can make and help Mark and I stay on keto. Thank you for all you have done and what a wonderful inspiration you are!

I just found your YT, which led me to the blog. I am starting from the beginning and watching your videos as I am getting ready to start the KETO WOE. I have struggled with my weight for years, lost 160 and gained 40lbs back. I love how relatable and real you are. I so hope you come back and post to YT (Food hauls, recipes, full day of eating, tips, support, etc.). I love reading over the blog but typically I listen to videos while working from home. I know people can be hyper critical, especially on YT, but there are those of us that really love the people who freely offer support and can share their success (through all the ups and downs). Can’t wait to see more!

Suzanne, I have to say I’m so thankful I stumbled across your Instagram account last year when I really got into my keto journey (mine is weighwaydown_with_keto and we’ve communicated before a couple times). I have been so inspired by you and understand some of your struggles. I haven’t been as successful since I have allowed myself to fall off the wagon too many times, but I want this to be the year I succeed. I can’t wait to buy your book and do my part to give back to you.

I struggle with being affected by what others think of me, and like you mentioned the negative feedback is always the worst even if it’s overshadowed by the positive. I can’t tell you not to worry or stress about it, because that isn’t helpful advice to me either. But, I know those stresses and worries will pass after you’ve taken the time to absorb them and move on. They don’t define you, though. YOU do. Best of luck on your continued journey!

I just found you for the first time as a result of your appearance on the Today show. Your honesty in this video compels me to follow you as I continue on my keto journey, dealing with the emotional issues as well as the disappointment that my size 8 pants fit much better than my size 6’s after eating off-Plan way too much over the holidays. This journey called ‘health’ is physical, emotional and spiritual, and requires constant attention as we walk in ‘health’ each day. Thank you for being you!

Suzanne, you are so nice, so sweet, so cute and so sincere. I’m still thinking about starting Keto, I know I should just do it, I have bout a 100lbs to lose. You give me the inspiration to think just maybe I can do it. Keep doing what you’re doing and oh BTW, like you, your family is beautiful, your hubby, baby girl and your dad – thank you

I. Just. Love. You. Healing isn’t such an easy road. If it were, we’d all be healthy and whole and not feel the need to criticize others for finding their own happiness. The brokenness in people is so sad and I’m so proud of you for loving yourself above the hurtful comments. You are beautiful and worthy of happiness. You deserve all that life tried to rob you of with your health. Keep on keeping on! Your process is helping so many people, including me!
