Made it to the gym this morning. Not pushing to hard as I’m just getting back to it after being sick. But it did feel great.0

I need to decide if I’m doing keto or not. I’ll do great first part of the week and then fall off by the weekend. Keto is how I lost the baby weight after #2. I know it works for me- I just need to commit to it.
@Beckymomof3girls Keto is one of the most effective ways to burn fat and lose pounds, the only thing is you really have to commit to it, you can't just do it for a month and say it's not working. You have to give it 6-8 weeks to really start working and then you will start seeing all the benefits. And it's not for everyone honestly, but it really does work.0 -

Hi All,
It’s been a ridiculously stressful week and then I had an aunt die - I didn’t get to post on Saturday. Sorry.
It’s safe to say my weight loss was going great and then it’s come to a halt. I need to reboot.
Hope you are all having a good Monday!

Week #2
Original starting weight: 273
PW: 230.1
CW: 223.8
Wooohoooo!!!! The plateau has been broken in a big way. I went three weeks gaining and losing the same two pounds so this is a welcome relief. Plateaus are such a bear. I knew I was doing everything right but I was starting to doubt myself. I'm glad I stuck with it. I am 0.8 lbs away from a 50 lb loss now.
A few weeks ago I bought 3 pairs of pants that were way too small. I am now wearing one of those pairs of pants at work. I just ordered 3 more pair because my old pants are falling off of me. They need to go in the Goodwill bin. I also ordered 3 too small shirts. I've gone from size 26 to size 20. It will be nice to get back in the teens again....and it's not too far away.
I made my 2nd meal in the Instant Pot yesterday. Of course I had to do something dumb again. I forgot to put the liner pot in there when I sautéed the chicken. It was a mess...surprisingly the pot still worked after a tedious cleaning. I really should take it apart and thoroughly clean it....but I was too lazy (and hungry) yesterday. Anyway, the meal turned out great.....not as good as the roast though.7 -

WEIGHT LOSS VS FAT LOSS
"Do You Want to Lose Weight?
If you answered yes, you are wrong. Well, not wrong actually, but what you’re really wanting to do is lose fat. . .The goal to successful weight loss is to preserve as much muscle as possible, or possibly even gain some, while at the same time lose as much body fat as possible. Your body fat % is a key indicator of your success, not the scale. . .Muscle is vital to your success for losing fat. Muscles have these little fat burning powerhouses called mitochondria. Mitochondria are cellular power plants that are responsible for the production of energy. It’s in the mitochondria that fat is metabolized. There is a positive correlation between the amount of muscle you have and the number of mitochondria. And it stands to reason that the more mitochondria you have, the more the potential to burn fat.
Get More Mitochondria
How do you get more of these little cell powerhouses? You need to be giving your body a reason to create more of them. You do this by performing high intensity exercise. HIIT training is just one of these methods. Weight training is another. By creating a large demand for energy up and above what your body can already produce, your body is forced to create new mitochondria in order to be prepared for the next time your muscles call on that needed extra energy.
The great thing about muscle and mitochondria is that they are active tissue. Unlike fat, they need constant energy to maintain themselves – energy like fatty acids. What does this mean? It means that your body will be burning fat at all times of the day – even while you’re sleeping. Yes, it is possible to burn fat in your sleep, and that is how." http://bodycarehealthclub.com.au/weight-loss-vs-fat-loss-the-difference-explained/

Daily Post Sunday
So I am committing to putting myself on display and not only measuring myself but doing it publicly un this group I will post my results Weekly on Sunday let's see how it goes because action speak louder than words. It's embarrassing to say but I had to be creative with my hips because my measuring tape ends at 45" and had a lot more room left.
That's great!! I did the same thing when I joined this website. I posted a current picture of myself here on MFP, which was a huge step for me. I let myself get in this terrible shape and refused to let anyone take a picture of me. But, I decided I needed to face it head on. You're doing an awesome job!!

Hello Everyone,
Stressful week. I had a very good food habit going last week and I crashed it again this weekend. So kinda upset with myself. Living on a college campus is kind of a food desert and I am having a hard time taking the sugars I used to get from candy and trying to get that from alternative areas (there are literally only apples and bananas on this campus... its almost impossible to find any other fruits).
I also think I will be getting consistent with daily posting, I know that has been a little difficult for me and I forgot to over this week.
