Truly, truly, truly... One of the most beautiful, touching, most heartfelt video postings in KZfaq history. One of the most real, genuine, full of love postings, ever. Thank you so much for sharing. Thank you for both your honesty and your transparency. Thank you so much for helping so many people. God bless you and your family. I am subscribed!! & for those 18 losers who gave this video the thumbs down - - - good luck in life.

That's probably the most moving story I've had the pleasure hearing yet. I'm a 57 year old guy who doesn't cry at funerals, yet I got choked up here. Thanks for sharing this. . . A fellow warrior. (Still in the battle).

I was just looking in a mirror as I watched this video. I also had Gastric Bypass in 2004 my highest was 373lbs my lowest was 220lbs and I am currently at 260lbs. I feel like a WLS failure I never got under 200lbs and never really changed the way I ate. I dump on sugar and fried foods thanks to the Lord or I would have gained it all back and more. Today I started a new plan and decided that I must do low carb and no refined sugar. Sugar and carbs are like cocaine for me and truly the thought of not eating them terrifies me but I cannot continue to live like this. I believe that your video popping up on KZfaq when I searched Keto Diet to see if that might work for me is a sign from God. I am still scared out of my chubby skin but I cannot give up. I am exhausted, depressed, sleep deprived, in constant joint pain and have had 4 knee surgeries. I can't concentrate and my current state is keeping me from having the confidence to take the real estate exam so I can start a new career at the age of 53. Thank you Thank you Thank you for being out there.

Kristie, I am in tears watching this story. My favorite part is where you ask your friend to pray for you, because at that time you had tried everything. I know that feeling very well. It's my favorite part because, God answered your prayer, Kristie. And He did it above and beyond what your heart even know what to pray for. He gave you your life back, He gave you an existence nearly pain free, losing weight constantly, eating foods you truly enjoy, and all at the same time while being an amazing inspiration to countless people just like you. Your* misery has become your MINISTRY and your pain has become the FREEDOM to the masses. God bless you and what you do. Keep being a light. God is going to continue to use you to bring knowledge, power, and freedom to the multitude! Blessings!

I feel so bad listening to this. We women are so hard on ourselves ! And we give up so much for our families that we forget about ourselves. God bless you for your journey and how you have responded and turned things around.

Thank you for sharing. Iam 47 too and have so far lost 80pounds.I was 422 pounds in november and a friend recommended low carbing to me. Im now 342. I was in such a dark place then. I feel every bit of your Tears. Thank you again

This was an awesome video, it was not too long & it was delivered beautifully. I thank you for making this video and I thank you for having the courage to deliver it with passion. God bless you.

Thank you Kristie. I appreciate you sharing your story and I can only imagine how difficult it was to put it together. So many of can relate to much of the story. When you started talking about spending quality time with your kiddos, I could relate and the tears started flowing as well. Not because I couldn't play with the kids, but because of my health getting out of control along with the weight, I did not have the energy to play with my grandchildren. I've been an absent grandma in many ways, but letting them bake with me. Not sure that is how I want them to remember me. My daughter turned me on to Keto and it took a couple years before I could get my mind wrapped around it. I'm so glad I did. I'm almost 1/2 way through till my goal. Staying KETO strong!

You are so beautiful inside and out! Even as a 28 year old male I can relate so much to your story and how you felt before. I have lost 90 pounds since last summer, and it feels so great to be able to buy new clothes, feel comfortable doing things and really enjoy life instead of constantly hiding myself. I still have more weight to lose, but this way of eating has changed my life completely. Thanks so much for sharing your story.

You may not see this comment but this video is lifechanging!! I have never been so moved! I have lost about 20lbs doing a paleo keto diet. I bought jeans last week that were a size 29 in the waist. I am 42 & haven't been a size 29 in over 15 years. More than weightloss it is about my health & energy. Thank you again.

Definetly the most inspirational story I’ve heard. My only regret is that it took me 4 years to discover your video. After 48 years of working in the medical field I often think “if we only knew then what we know now”. Your story will touch other people’s lives in such a positive ways; bless you for sharing.

Thank you for telling your story. It was clearly painful to remember; you have come a long way, and you are inspiring for the rest of us.

Thank you so much for sharing your story.. Im 29 years old have PCOS and was just diagnosed with type two diabetes.. I started the keto diet four weeks ago and lost 12 lbs already and have significantly lowered my sugar levels.. Your video moved me to tears.. you such a wonder person and an inspiration.. I really hope this way of live will save mine... Thanks again!

Oh, Kristie, I can hardly type through the tears I cried along with you! Your story is my story, down to the weighing sixish pounds at birth. My toddler pictures look just like yours. School pictures, ditto. Mom an excellent seamstress making my clothes for as long as I can remember - using the "chubbies" patterns. Shopping for men's work/carpenter jeans in junior high because they were the only 'store bought' ones I could fit into. Lane Bryant catalog at 16 - my first pair of not home made girl jeans. The thoughts - the wasted years, losing precious time and memories with my daughter, fitting into or not breaking chairs...and on and on. Our few differences? - I'm 5'9" and 54. I have just started in a local Medical Weight Management Program. I had been to this same doctor back in 2009, but I know at that time his advice was more in line with the USDA guidelines. So when my primary doctor suggested seeing him again, my first thought was "If he's going to tell me the same old 'eat less, move more', I'm out of there. It just doesn't work for me." I had researched low carb diets way back in the 90's with Protein Power and Carbohydrate Addicts - it just made sense to me. But 'everyone' - family, friends, dieticians and doctors - thought it was a crazy dangerous fad, so I never followed through. So imagine my shock when the weight management doctor recommended a lower carb all the way down to ketogenic diet!! He believes in metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance! I cried in his office, thanking him for being the Only doctor I have ever seen to think these things are real and that it is not some behavioral, psychological or moral failing on my part. I felt so validated! So I am two months in, have only lost about 8 pounds, but over 30" overall. I have had some stumbling blocks during this time - cortisone shots for arthritis are not kind to ketosis! But I am committed to keep going back to this lifestyle because it works for me, not just for weight loss, but for overall wellbeing. I want to be able to bike ride with my twin 10 year old grandsons and play on the floor with my new 13 day old granddaughter! That is what life is about! I am also part of a support group, and was just tasked last week (at my first meeting!) of creating an internet resource guide for the groups - because I kept opening my mouth and saying things like "have you tried Nom Nom Paleo's Cracklin' Chicken recipe? Check out Butter Bob Briggs on You tube. The videos on dietdoctor.com are fantastic". So now dear Kristie, I will be adding yours to my 'highly recommended' sites! I swear it was Divine intervention that your Fat Head Pizza recipe video came up on my Facebook page as an 'other videos you may like', just as I was mentally committing to starting today LCHF compliant after last night's "I'm too hungry and tired so I'll just eat this leftover pizza" fall from grace. So today you are my Inspiration Angel! Thank You, most sincere, heartfelt, sisters on the same journey, THANK YOU for what you are doing! You are making a difference! Lori

Omg, I love your story. I've been overweight most of my life and just started the keto diet. I haven't lost much weight, but I feel better. I travelled for the last few years, and it was hard being the fat girl. I thought maybe I'm just fine being fat, but your story really inspires me. It's nice to see someone around my age finally succeed.

Wow. I'm a 58 year old man and I'm crying along with you. Thank you for sharing. I've struggled until I found Keto. I subbed and started using your recipes but my problem was not just weight...it is diabetes. In only 2 months, I got my A1c down from 7.6 to 5.9 by eating your recipes. I am forever grateful. Thank you.

I came across your video on my journey of lchf. I am 58 years old and have been obese all my life. I started Dec 3 and have lost 22lbs already. Thank you for sharing your heart and your journey. You are beautiful inside and out.!!!!

Love watching your videos. I am now an even bigger fan. Cried with you girl. You are an inspiration.

OMG. Such an inspiration. I have just started on my own journey at age 60. Thank you for this video.

This really hit home for me! I so admire you! I know I am a few years late from this video but God Bless you!

Kristie I'm so sorry you had such a painful journey. Your a beautiful person inside and out and I know you are helping so many, including myself. I hope everyone finds your channel that needs help. hugs to u.

Love you Kristie❤️ I have been LCHF for 15 months and I have lost 45lbs so far and lost lots of health issues!!:) i use to be sick all the time and could not work due to health issues...I am now exercising 5 days a week and am just finishing up CNA class and will be going on to RN school and I'm 46!! I never thought I would feel good again but, this is the easiest plan I've ever been on and I love feeling energized everyday without coffee or caffeine...your awesome keep up the videos they inspire!!❤️❤️👍👍

It's 2020. I've been a long time fan of your's!!! I'm going on 3 years keto. This is the first time I've heard your whole story. My heart relates to you!!! Thank you for being you, & fighting for others. God bless you, Kristie!!!

Oh My Gosh! You are talking about me! I feel the way you did before you lost the weight! I have tears running down my cheeks because finally, someone knows how I feel. (I know there are so many more people who are thinking this too) I am 5' 2" and weight 260. 48-years-old with a gastric bypass 8 years ago. Fat all my life except a few times when I starved myself when young. Broke my knee, had no insurance, and now I am again a stay at home mom/grandma. I want to tell you THANK YOU for sharing your story and creating your book! I bought the Kindle book but when I save up enough money I am getting the real book because it is always better to use a book in the kitchen! I just found you today and I have been cutting out sugar and starches, going low-carb and working towards Keto. Since I no longer can work with my knee problems I am figuring things out on what to eat inexpensively and my daughter and sons help me out a lot (I live with them and one 3-year-old grandson). Now here is my hope and goals. I want to be able to go on walks and be a great grandma, since my grandson is living with us and not his mom. So, I am a mom substitute? Instead of my kids no leaving home it is reversed in this house. Yes, I am divorced many years ago. I want to cook meals for the family and not be so tired that I just let them eat microwave meals. I want to be able to play and run with my two granddaughters! That is my journey and goals. It has been almost three weeks of low carb and no weight loss. Yes, I know I can do better. I have only had one bad sugar time and I was gassy, bloated and sick after I had some pie! Other than that, I feel great and I can go up stairs and cook more easily! I am craving things less and learning at this time. Again THANK YOU!

You had me crying the entire video, I've never been small and I've never felt all the things you are feeling now. I aspire to, my only clothing store options are lane Bryant, catos etc I can't wait for the day that lchf gets me to my goal weight. I've never experienced a WOE that made me feel this way that gave me so much energy and satisfaction. I just made it to week 7 and I am 22 lbs down! I want to scream keto so the world can hear me! I've been following you for a few weeks now and I've watched every single one of your videos, you are making a difference to me and I thank you! I also have a KZfaq channel I am sharing my journey not only my struggles with infertility but my new life with keto. If you wouldn't mind I would like to share your story with others maybe link them to your channel or this video, I'd love for everyone I've met so far along the way to be inspired by you as well !

absolutely amazing and inspirational. I'm at work trying to dry the tears. I am actually where you were. And it is refreshing to see a true testimony with of heart. Very seldom do we find such heart warming testimonies. I literally prayed that Hod would help me lose weight and of course I know there are those who say negative things such as diet and exercise. But I have found it to be a struggle then somehow i came across the keto diet. my plan is to fully commit without looking back. I need those 168lbs. Your past pain and current joy is what strengthens you and motivate others. So..... thank you.

Just let me get in line here, to thank you for this video, and to tell you that your sharing means a very, very lot to me.

Like watching my own struggle told by someone else. Friend just recommended your channel today is my 5th day of keto already feeling better.

Thank you so much for giving such an honest recounting of your story. I was near to tears myself watching you tell of your struggles, and your victories. You are radiant, and beautiful, and deserve your success. I wish I could give you a hug.

I wish this video had more then a like button! I wish it had a million times love button! I love your videos! Thank you for heling me along this journey

I am totally mesmerized by your true authentic self. Ian truly motivated by your story. I just started Keto on June 11th in my first week I lost 61/2 pounds. Listening to you has encouraged me that I can do. God bless you and that’s for being you!!😁😁😁😁😁❤️😀😀

I've watched this three times and cried every time. You are so sweet and genuine and relatable. Thank you for making your videos and for helping those of us who are still trying to find our path. -Christine

Kristie, you're such a sweet soul! thank you, because you've made a difference in my life, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I enjoy your videos immensely and am so thankful that I stumbled across them when I did. Keep up the amazing work! and you will always have good health, this I truly believe with all of my heart.

Thank you - this is a wake up call for me. I have been choosing pasta over a better life. No more

Kristie, Thank you for being so very open and honest. I remember being in third grade and I became overweight. My parents had to try to find me 'husky" clothes. I was never athletic, but I excelled in music. I was given a cookbook in 4th grade, because my parents said that no matter how old I became, there would be a time when I would have to know how to cook. So I began cooking, getting up early Sunday mornings to make rolls and sugary sweet treats for the family (7 kids) for breakfast before we went to church. I eventually went into the baking industry. That just caused me to gain more weight. Then I left baking and went into ministry. The weight continued to be added. Three years ago, my doctor told me I had a fatty liver. I ignored it for two years. But 16 months ago, I began the same eating plan you are following. I have lost 4 inches in my waist and lost 40 lbs. I am feeling better, my skin is improving, my chiropractor says my body is responding to his treatments, I'm sleeping better and not feeling as tired. I stopped taking cholesterol medicine and my doctor said that my liver enzymes are down 30%. I know more about my body know than I have ever. I started back in the bakery part time, but I don't have to eat it. I get two breaks of 15 minutes each at work. I take two salads that I finish and I am satisfied and not hungry. I started skipping breakfast to do intermittent fasting. I've done well and I'm not hungry. Nobody knows unless they have experienced the pain of being overweight themselves. Bravo for you! Thank you for sharing.

Whenever I need inspiration, I come back to this video. Thank you so much for baring your soul to help others. You've definitely helped me.

Kristie- I've been watching your video recipes and came across this one. I felt like you were talking directly at me. I align with your story in so many ways. How exciting to see someone else succeed in their journey to health. I do agree with the Keto diet. As a nurse, I've been taught the "wrong" way of nutrition my whole life. In March I almost died. I spent 5 days in ICU for a blood sugar of 741! I didn't know I was diabetic. I'm now on insulin (the hormone that actually stores fat!) and changing my diet to reverse it. Thank you for your brave reveal and motivational words. I appreciate you and your journey. God Bless!

Hi, I'm from the UK. Wow your story was so moving. thank you so much for sharing it. I've been on a very low carb diet for about 3 months now and for the first time in my life I am not turning to food as a crutch. I am slowly and safely losing weight and my mood is much more stable and I am happy. People like you, who spread the word, who have been through all the things that being fat entails, are so inspiring, please keep on doing what you're doing and know that you're motivating and helping people from all over the world. Thank you!

You're gorgeous, thank you for sharing your story, I teared up hearing your story, you tell your truth really well. I appreciate your effort in recording it and uploading to share to reach out to others.

You precious soul. You have no idea how much I needed this video today. Thank you for succeeding so that I know that I can too.

Hi Kristie, I am a mother of 3, wife of 1! I also had Weight loss surgery. And ALSO have struggled my whole life with my weight. You are an encouragment and an inspiration to me. I love watching you with your family. I have to pray every day for strength and courage to KEEP GOING. Thank you for doing what you do :) If you're ever in Asheville, would love to meet you!

This video confirmed why you are one of my favorites! I always tune into your channel for all your cooking ideas as you do it with such calmness & great recipes! To hear your journey speaks to me in a huge way! Thank you for sharing your Keto testimony I am INCREDIBLY INSPIRED ✝️❤️👏👏👏

Kristie, I have been on the Facebook page and watching videos since September 2017. I hadn't gone back to your story. It's like my story! I started at a 24, lost a little being gluten free. Went Keto in September and put on my first pair of size 16 pants this month. I can't wait until I can walk into one of those stores and shop for myself! For now, I am still a Lane Bryant, Torrid & Maurices girl, but I know I will ugly cry the day I can no longer shop there. I totally understand the emotion!!

I loved this video even though I am watching this in 2019. I had gastric bypass too and I wish I knew about keto before I had the surgery. Keto has kept my weight under control unlike the old school high carb diet we were told to follow as weightloss patients. Your video confirms that getting weightloss surgery doesn't always promise you'll be skinny forever which is why its so important that we learn how to eat and keto has been a really eye opening experience.

Such a great video. I cried right along with you. I have struggled with weight my whole adult life also. I've done WW, low fat, protein shakes. You name it. But I'm 59 now. My father ended up with diabetes and died from the drug they put him on to control it (it was pulled off the market the following year). My mother died of ovarian cancer in her 50s. High blood pressure is through my whole family including myself. All of a sudden I realized that it's time to do this. If I don't get control over my weight soon I know it will never happen and the risks associated with the extra 40-50 pounds will only increase. So I started eating LCHF 2 weeks ago and it's great. I'm not hungry and when meal times come around (especially lunch) I have to really ask myself if I'm hungry as a lot of time I truly am not. Today I had coffee with cream, bacon, creamcheese/egg pancakes for breakfast, a snack of broiled salami and parmesan cheese and dinner was a small steak with in a mushroom spinach sauce. That doesn't sound deprived to me! Thanks for sharing, it makes me feel not so alone in this journey.

I wanted to give you a hug through the screen and I can empathize with your struggle even though I have not experienced it myself. Though at one time my weight did creep up to 165 lbs and I'm 5'5 and I was wearing a size 12 and hated the way that I looked, because most of my life I had been thin. But in my early 20's I wanted to lose about 5 lbs and tried the high carb low fat diet low calorie diet that all the doctors claimed worked. And like you, I found myself starving all the time and gradually my weight creeped up instead of going down. I only controlled it by running a lot, because I enjoy running. Then when I was 27 yrs. old, I was at a size 12/14 and needed to lose weight for my wedding.. I was working as a manager of an August Max/ Casual Corner triplex store, so I related to that part of your story. I special ordered my dress, 3 months out, from a wedding shop. . They measured me and told me I needed to order larger and get a size 16. I refused and told them to order me a size 6 because I was planning on losing weight. They were horrified that I ordered a size 6 instead of a 16. But I began a low carb/ketogenic diet called Power Protein. I ate a lot of caesar salads and whole rotissere chickens for lunch and steaks with creamed spinach for dinner. I also forgot to eat. I didn't see much weight coming off the scale initially but was told it's because fat does not weigh much but takes up huge volumes on the body and so it's best to use a tight article of clothing and keep trying it on. I was not seeing much weight loss on the scale but my clothing was getting looser and looser as I was only loosing body fat. I was also running. By the end of the three months my size 6 wedding dress arrived and they called me to come in and try it on. I think they were secretly cringing. When I arrived and they looked at me they could not believe the difference. When I tried on the dress it was hanging on me. It was too big. I was wearing size 2/4's I felt victorious. I had to have my aunt do alterations on the dress to take it in so that it would fit. I kept the weight off for a few years but when I returned to eating carbs it came back and I gained it all back. They I discovered that my issue is that I am insulin resistant. Both of my paternal grandparents were type 2 diabetics as well as my dad's sister. The problem was that I was eating a vegetarian diet for 7 years and it was very hard to do that while low carb. I tried a diet called insulin resistant diet in which you can eat up to 30 net carbs every two hours and balance with half as much protein to stop an insulin spike. It worked and I lost weight. I lost much slower than on a ketogenic diet but it gave me more options when eating. There was nothing that I could not eat as long as I controlled the portion size. Eventually I went back to eating meat and fish, because my body was struggling with inflammation from soy and processed foods. I went to low carb cave man diet and dropped down size 4 again. I recently was eating carby foods again and gained. One of my scales says 130lbs and the other says 139 but I have a high percentage of body fat so I feel skinny fat. I ordered resistance bands for toning legs and arms so I can get firmer skin and I'm lifting some weights. I learned that this is more benefical for looking lean than doing cardio. That way we retain our muscle mass while our body just burns off fat. Rhodiolia and Forskolin can also help this process and also taking Yohimbe will help because it blocks alpha 2 fat receptors and will help you lose the fat off of those stubborn estrogen dominated fat cells, so off of your trouble spots. I'm glad that you are educating people because the standard food pyramid needs to be turned upside down to work for people like us who have an insulin resistant metabolism. (Hug)

oh my your telling my story but now you have give me the strength to give it one hell of a try thank you so very much, i had watch a lot of your videos but until i watch this with no interruptions i didn't know if i could really do it stay with it but now i know i can thank you once again now i understand and i'm starting a 53 at 293lb thank you

I relate to this so much! Thanks for opening up to us, I'm so inspired. 1 week of Keto, and I'm in it for the long hail thanks to people like you. ♥

I ran across this video today and what a blessing...I am 52 and have been thinking it's just too late for me.....I too suffer back pain and am hoping and praying if I can lose weight it will help my back to be pain free again....you are an inspiration.

@DUPREE T Thank you kindly! It is terrible to struggle for so long and to not lose weight in spite of doing everything "right". Hugs to you as you begin your journey!

Wow this brought me to tears. I am at the beginning of my journey and to hear your whys it was like seeing myself in a mirror. Thank you for being so bold and brave.

I just found you and am soooo thankful! You are an inspiration and have given me a nudge to continue.

I am seriously in tears of joy, thank you so very much for sharing your inspiring story! Your soul is so sweet and special, stay encouraged!

Omg, i'm crying along. Such an inspiring story! I already love your recipes and now means a lot more that I know your story. Congratulations, you're amazing!

Watching this - I cried and cried, thank you for posting this. You are Awesome!! HUGS

Thank you for so beautifully telling your story, for being so authentic, I'm tearing up along with you. Thrilled for you and inspired to start my own journey.

No words, just a huge hug and just saying you rock girl, and so real. You make me want to be a better person.

LOVE this! Thank you for being so real and honest. It gives me hope. Keep vlogging 💗

Much love and hugs to you. Thank you for bravely sharing your story!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your story - I was extremely encouraged today. I have tears rolling down my face because I feel and see hope.

Thank you so much for sharing this story and all the lives you are touching. I'm sitting here in tears relating to so much of what you are saying. Thank you...

thank you for this, and thank you for being sooooo honest. It's kinda like my story.... and that I might be brave enough to tell one day. Just thank you

Two years after you shared your story in this video, I'm seeing it and crying with you. Bless your heart - you inspired me to keep going! Thank you so much. (I love your recipe videos too!)

This is just my second video I've watched of yours and I'm in love...you are so real and so sweet! That's more important than even the recipes you share. Thank you for your story!

Thank you so much for sharing. I started my own Keto journey 5 weeks a go and I am loving it. I have lost 13 lbs, but more than that, I don't ache from arthritis anymore! I'm sleeping better than ever and have so much energy! I could relate to the Lane Bryant story so much. I became overweight as a teenager and have struggled ever since. I was so envious of my smaller friends and their cute clothes, when I felt like I always dressed like an old lady, because those were the clothes that I could find in my size. I discovered your page through a recipe that someone shared, and I am so glad that I did. I am looking forward to viewing more of your videos and really appreciate the time that you are taking to share and to encourage the rest of us. Thanks again.xx

Kirstie, you’re such a lovely lady! Thank you for sharing your story. I agree with all the wonderful comments- you are a great inspiration!

God bless you !

My heart goes out to you. I completely understand where you are coming from. I have many of the same struggles. Congratulations to you, for your great success!

I absolutely love you! You are soooo adorable, easy to connect with and listen to and most of all inspiring. I am not a crier (at all) and I shed tears throughout the entire video for several different reasons. Thank you for all you do and for doing these videos.

I have been watching your videos for awhile now and really enjoy them but when I came across this one, it just blew me away. You are such an inspiration. My heart broke and I cried all through this. Thank you so much for the honesty that only comes from a person who loves much. God Bless You Kristie.
