    Well, I am in for sure. I thought I had posted yesterday--guess I didn't. I am so happy to be on this journey. I have been doing the keto plan for about 3 weeks now and I am losing weight. I am a type 2 diabetic who has her numbers in the normal range now and I am off all meds. I just want to keep it that way and lose more weight to get that in the normal range also. Glad to be on this journey with you all and know that WE CAN AND WILL DO THIS.....

    Total weight lost: 6 lbs from last time I was dieting. I was down 20 and I gained 14 back. :(
    This week's successes: I started my January weight loss the day after Christmas. I've done well this week.
    This week's challenges: I go back to work on Tuesday and I'm worried that I won't get enough exercise in. I'm always exhausted when I get home from work. (I teach)

    I teach too and have the same energy issues after teaching all day. It's easy to get in lots of steps due to our large building but it's not aerobic at all.

    @phoenixmed @AEPHubinc2015

    There is a grey star at the very top right hand side of the page. Click and it will turn orange and this means it's bookmarked and you can find it again easily.

    Good luck!

    This week's successes: starting! Last night I bought beachbody on demand and I'm so excited to start. I've always been over weight, and I have lost all of the weight before. But it's back and this time it's going down! I found in the Bible how you're to take care to your body so now it's bigger than me! I'm doing this for myself. But most important God.
    This week's challenges: creating new habits. It's hard to start over. But it'll be worth it!
