I need to get back on track...Moving here from Samantha's old page. Hello everyone! I'll weigh-in soon. Just going to focus more on maintenance this holiday season. Not worried about weight-loss too much. In the New year I'll kick it into gear. Until then, I do plan on doing some fasting and detox sometime in December and…

I'm in... I'll be weighing in next week. It's my time (TOM), so I'm not up for stepping on a scale of any kind. Lol

Guys, since September of last year until today I've gained 20 lbs. 20 pounds! I'm so angry....So angry....I need a moment... 177.2--August 2019 197.4--Today! I didn't get a chance to detox this month but I definitely will late February. I'm so mad. I'm so tired of this same weight battle. I'm pissed at myself. After I cry…

I'm Back! Happy New Year! 2020. We made it. Still fighting the war on fat! I won't be weighing in until the end of the month because long story short--I know I've gained. So, time for my annual detox that will take place next week. I'm excited! I'm back on keto, and I already feel a lot lighter. I can tell I've lost a lot…

I'm not losing anything, nor do I plan to until after the holiday food festivities. lol Just keep moving, drink plenty of water, and enjoy yourself. I know I'm a lot better off now than I was two year ago when I was 65 lbs over weight! And that says something... Happy Holidays and Have a happy New Year!

It's been a while since I posted. Glad to be back. I had some technical trouble posting here which is why I have been MIA. Well, in a nut shell, nothings changed really. No big losses in weight, just ups and down instead. I honestly haven't weighed in since October. I'm sure I haven't lost any weight, in fact I've probably…

I've got your back. As a fellow 30-something female, who was formally obese but not yet in the normal weight range, I still have some goals I need to achieve. Let's do it!

I'm still here even though my posts have been MIA... Tis the season of treats and sweets... I'm trying my best to stay focused; and 'tis the season of weigh-lifting which I also have been focused on as well. I haven't weighed-in since early Sept. because I want to allow my body to go through the strength training phase:…

I'm in!

Approaching the very end of my TOM, and I feel like my cravings have calmed down tremendously, although I've noticed my salt intake has increased, and for someone like myself who has edema issues, that it's not good! So, I'm trying to catch up on my water intake to flush out this excess salt, along with the hormonal water…

Boy was that detox a doozy! Won't be doing that until the beginning of next year, maybe. Any who.... I did see a new number and I'm so happy! Unfortunately, now that I feel like I'm finally back in my element (keto) my body is slowing down to a halt! Pre-TOM. dun, dun, dun! Every woman is different but just before I start…

Weighing-in on Saturday to begin my last detox for the summer season!! I'm pumped for this one. Unlike July, I had too many distractions which prevented me from completing my detox. Now, I'm super focused because this is my final detox until my next one which might be at the end of the year or January of next year. I'm…

The Keto diet is like a marriage--it doesn't work if you cheat! Boy am I learning that the hard way! I haven't gained too much but every since the first week of July when I cheated/splurged for a few days, I haven't been able to get back to my lowest weight! I kind of regret it now. I was hoping to get back to my goal but…

Happy Sunday Everybody! Try to spend some time with the people you love. I'm spending time listening to Christian worship music because I love Jesus. Romans, 10:9-10. Any who.... This past week has been okay. Ups and downs, nothing I can't bounce back from. Not too focused on weight-loss at the moment just trying to make…

Update...Again Well, I decided to cut my detox short from 5 days down to 3 instead. I made major achievements in a short period of time however on the 4th day of my detox I felt like I lost weight and I thought for sure I made another break through, but, when I stepped on the scale it didn't budge. In fact--I gained +.2oz.…

I feel your pain Stella. I was stuck in the 230s for about 6 yrs before joining MFP. It felt like a vortex to me but through the grace of God I finally broke through. What did it for me was to be a little uncomfortable and let some habits go, whether it was food or lifestyle. Hope this helps. Praying for ya.

Thanks for the encouragement. So far so good.

Update: I definitely indulged the first few days: family bday celebrations and 4th of July food fun. So, the carbs and sugar showed up on the scale for now, but I'm getting back on track. I hope after this 5-day detox, I should make a break through. 7/6th back in the 180s, hopefully not for long... 7/8th--12th: Nutritional…

Original starting weight--242 lbs July starting weight--179.8 July goal--174.8 Ultimate goal-- 160 something... June 29th/July 1st: 179.8 July 6th: *Nutrition Detox: 8th--12th* Weigh in: 13th-- High hopes in July!

July 1st...Starting weight: 179.8 July Goal weight: 174.8 Ultimate Goal: 160-Something.... Already starting off the July month with a celebration filled with cakes and treats. My sister's birthday was today and I took it upon myself to indulge...and did--a lot! Also, not to mention the 4th of July holiday is coming up and…

Thanks so much Jenn for your support. I just had to get out of my comfort zone. I asked myself, "How bad do you want this? Enough that I just had to let go of few habits in order to finally see results. Believe me, Jenn it's worth it! Hang in there.

Idk if you believe in God but I pray that you trust in Jesus and ask Him to help heal your soul and health. Keep the faith. Remember, a setback is a set up for a comeback! Peace and love.

Update: 183.6! Back on track! I just did an impromptu weigh-in and I'm back to where I left off since my TOM; I'm 183.6. Now, it's time to kick it up a notch and I hope to squeeze out another pound before July 1st. I've been working hard and eating well, so I feel like my body is about to whoosh! It's good to have a stall…

Hello all! Happy Summer!! Just going to do a quick check-in....I'm not going to weigh-in today because it's the end of my TOM and I just feel like my weigh-in won't be as accurate. So, I'm going to wait until next week to step on the scale, that would give me plenty of time to feel like my self again without the added…

thanks! I detox for 5 days M-F once a month, June was second time doing this detox since January. I didn't have a spike in my weight but a slight stall. Perhaps my body was "recalculating?" Feeling great though.

Hang in there Jenn. Keep pushing eventually the plateau will give in.

Hang in there Stella, you've got this!
