  • All that outdoor activity you do will surely pay off in due time. Keep pushing!
  • Thanks Jenn!!
  • Chicken broth and beef broth. Thank you for your kind words!
  • Update: 188.8!!! You read it right! I feel so much better; I feel lighter--and more energized! Cannot wait to detox again next month. 6/3rd--205.0 (Lymph-edema + carbs, salt) 6/8th--188.8!! Yay woooosh!!! Lymph-edema + drinking water+ moderate exercise+detox= -17 lbs loss! I hope June continues to bless me....
  • "Juuuuuune--She'll change her tune." A little Simon & Garfunkel for ya! It's been a while, so let me catch you all up...In somewhat of a nutshell.... I have changed my tune for the month of June. May was a dud and pretty stressful as the last 10.5 months, but that stress (my darling 11 yr old niece) has now moved back down…
  • May was very busy for me and a roller-coaster, so I just let myself indulge only because my niece was finally moving back to Florida so we a some celebrations before she left. I knew May wouldn't be any different from the previous months but in June I'll definitely change my tune! 199.6 (water weight etc...and carbs too!…
  • I completely fell off of the Keto wagon but tomorrow I'm going to get right back on track. No matter how long the heck it takes, I'm never giving up! I will meet my goal of being 179 by the end of July! I prayed about it, and it will happen! I'll pray for you too, Jenn.
  • I'm here! Never giving up! I'm still stuck in the same 7 to 10-lb bracket in my weight-loss journey. My lowest was 185 back in Jan. and I can't seem to get back there. A lot has to do with stress; 3 more weeks until my niece moves back to Florida. I love her dearly but all of the stress taking care of her really is…
  • This journey can be quite the roller-coaster, but, you just have to plow threw--we owe it to ourselves! I've been fluctuating the same 5 to 7 lbs myself, it's tough. These last 25 lbs have been kicking my butt, and honestly, I've been under so much stress since my niece moved in, I told myself I won't lose anything until…
  • I'm in..Weighing-in on Friday....Let's kick butt in April!! Summer body before the Summer!
  • I'll be weighing in on Friday for the month of March/April...I just need some of this hormonal water weight to subside a bit (after TOM). I do feel pretty good despite giving into chocolate cake and pop tarts. Oops. Big oops!! Needless to say, I'm getting back on track (again) and staying very busy and active. My size 10…
  • I haven't weighed in yet since earlier this month right before my birthday, and now TOM in progress so I'm not going to weigh in until next Friday just so my body can have plenty of time to adjust itself back "normal". I feel good though even going through TOM, I feel energized, and I feel like I'm getting back to where I…
  • Once again Jenn, we're on the same page. I'm just stuck, and to make matters worse my appetite is all over the place! I'm doing keto and my eating has been consistant with the plan it's just my fat count has been wayyyy too high. Too high of a count to lose weight. I'm stalled and frustrated! I won't give up either. I can…
  • @SamanthaLouiseMence Thinking about you Samantha...Prayers that God gives you for comfort. <3
  • Same here. My weight is just steady, nothing to report really. Dodging between (mid)180s/(Lower)190s...I feel like I'm toning but I'm not losing. It's frustrating! I thought on this keto diet I was going to continue to lose substantially, weekly but, I guess the honeymoon is over. I do realize that I need to adjust my fat…
  • I'm still hanging in there. I've come too far to quit. Grr!
  • I'm silent but I'm here....Want to get my first weigh-in before the birthday on Sunday 3/10....
  • Same here, Jenn! NSV over here--losing inches-- but I want to see the number--I've got to see the number! Top it off it's almost (TOM) for me so I don't even think I'm going to step on the scale until I know the hormonal weight is over. Mentally, it would be discouraging, so I'm not up for that! I don't know I may bite the…
  • Starting to have non-scale victories...Losing inches, but... Currently at a plateau of 185-188ish....Starting to pack on muscle, which is great but the scale is weighing everything and I want to see the number decrease not gain even if it is muscle! 2/15: 185/188 (plateau; body recalculating) I need to be patient…
  • I'm 5'8 and my goal is to be 160-something...160 ANYTHING! lol Currently at a plateau of 185-ish....Starting to pack on muscle, which is great but the scale is weighing everything and I want to see the number decrease not gain even if it is muscle!
  • I don't why but your 'cut and dried' responses made me chuckle.

  • February has been good to me and so has the ketogenic diet--no lifestyle! Seems like my body is beginning to adjust and I'm losing weight at a good rate--healthily! Second week on the keto lifetstyle change and so far my cravings are just about completely gone! Also, eating and feeling less hungry is getting easier and…
  • Original starting weight -242 February starting weight -??? (Will update soon) February goal -minus 5 lbs from when I weigh-in :wink: Ultimate goal -160-something 4th - 8th - 16th - 23rd - 28th - Let's Go February!! Happy Black History Month!
  • Once again, January was fantastic for me! The last two weeks really gave me motivation and results, which passed my expectations completely! I decided to end January with my lowest weight which was the 28th. That same day I went for a major hike and burned off an extra ounce but my weight didn't budge and I didn't know…
  • Dr Eric Berg on YouTube is the king of keto!! Dr Ken Berry is good too. I'm a little bias and will highly recommend Dr Berg, he's the best!! Btw, my advice is to prep your body before keto, like start taking vitamins and electrolytes because you will drop weight very fast. I lost 10 lbs in less than a week when Istarted…
  • As of today *drum roll* Jan 26: 188.8!!!! Just 1-lb away from my lowest since last summer! I'm so excited--and my fast isn't over yet! Tomorrow is my final full day! Push through, eh?
  • UPDATE!!! Detox/Fast I'm not a fan of daily weigh-ins ( I cannot handle the pressure) but since my fast it's been quite exciting! So far... Jan 20: 202.6 Yikes!! Jan 23: 195.0 Surprised me! Jan 24: 192.4 Whaaa?!! Jan 25: 190.8 Speechless! Thank you Jesus!!! God is good. My journey isn't over yet, just 2 more days and then…
  • Heck yeah, Jenn. Speak it Sis!
  • UPDATE!!! Day 4 of 7 of my fast and I weighed myself and lost 7 lbs!! I'm feeling good too! The electrolytes and nutritional yeast really help keep me going. Plus, I've been pretty active in the last few days, so this detox is really working. Getting rid of that extended holiday junk. 195.0 woo hoo!!! Water weight is not a…
