Back and bigger than ever

[tfek70]

I'm back again. I think the last time I did this seriously was in 2003 when I lost 35 lbs in 6 weeks. I lost my father earlier this month and went home to Wisconsin for a weeks and ate tons of comfort food. Everything was gravy and potatoes. Anyway, I was as big as I ever was before going home, and managed to tack on some more. I started induction 12/19, and to date I have lost 12 lbs. I have a ton of chicken wings and smoked pork. I could eat these foods every day for every meal, so this WOE was made for me. I just got my keto-stix to show a trace of ketones today, but I was losing weight pretty rapidly before. I also was blessed with keto-breath this evening. My goal is to get to 190 and keep it there this time. Good luck all, and Happy Holidays!

Welcome back T.J. ~ I'm sorry for your loss.

It's hard to make wise choices during painful and stressful times in our lives because food can be comforting. You're in a good place now. You recognized what has happened and you are ready to make that change.

Congrats on your 12 pound weightloss...keep it up!
