Finding my Focus

Since July 1st, I've had almost 2 months of semi-stabilized weight and 'spinning my wheels'!  I'm not sure why I have not lost more weight during this time, instead, having to concentrate on staying near my new low. As soon as I met my goal on July 1st, my weight immediately bumped up several pounds, and the fight to stay there began. I have to consider these times as maintenance and protect my mind from discouragement. 

I praise God for my progress so far.....but need to find the strength to move forward.

I am thankful to friends who help me stay committed to my weight-loss journey and I continue to lean on them.

Today, Labor Day, I am spending time re-assessing my goals and the necessity of reaching them! The ability to walk continues to be a priority.

If you are reading this, please pray for me and for my continued success.

I met my goal..Pushing forward! How Big is God?!

On July 1, 2017, I began to follow a strict low-carb eating protocol. I had gained back 86 pounds of the 210 previous lost between 12/09 and 6/14. My goal was to have lost that 86 pounds again and I am happy to say that on July 1, 2018, I met my goal!  I once again weighed 304, down from my highest weight in December 2009 of 513 pounds.

It is now August 5, 2018, and although I haven't lost any additional weight this month, I am thrilled that I have been able to maintain and stabilize at this lower weight. After completing a full year of "No Sugar, No Starch" I didn't want to change what I was doing but needed to relax just a bit and let my body and brain catch up.

Today is Day #401 "No sugar, No starch" and am very happy with my Keto/very low-carb lifestyle. I have lots of friends, family, church family and online friends who are all very supportive and are wonderful "cheerleaders" who encourage me along the way.

It's time to move forward and lose the next 100 lbs. For me, success doesn't happen 'One day at a time' it's more like 'one food choice at a time'!

The journey continues and I know that God will see me through each day and challenge as it arises.
