Hello Everyone....
First, I want to start by saying that this blog was created a few years ago but I had only posted a couple times. Any of the recipes posted before today are NOT low carb. I just started on a low carb journey a week and a half ago.... July 14, 2017. Oh, this will be a long post.
For much of my adult life, I have struggled with my weight. I had the yo-yo effect. I went through a period of about 2 years where I weighed in under 200 lbs. But now, my weight is out of control. I gave up my nicotine addiction and replaced it with a food addiction.
I know I have to make a change. I created this blog with the intent of blogging my progress and sharing tips, tricks and yes recipes. I feel that by blogging, I and my viewers are holding me accountable for what I eat and my activity. Those who do vlogs and blogs about their weight loss seem to have a higher success rate. I have a new YouTube channel as well where I will post Vlog and cooking videos.
I am on my weight loss journey with out gastric surgery. My insurance does not cover it. My boyfriend found the diet for bariatric surgery patients. I followed the pre-op diet for a few days to jump start my weight loss. I count both calories and carbs and have lost 12 pounds since July 14th... that is less than 2 weeks. Below are my pictures taken on day 1 of my new life.
I weighed in at 233 lbs and I am 5' 2"
Current weight as of July 25, 2017 is 221 lbs.
Some of my clothes are a little looser. I wore a pair of jeans yesterday that I had not been able to wear in like..... forever.
I will upload a new photo after I hit my one month mark.
I use an app called My Fitness Pal for iphone. I do believe they have a version for the android system as well. I love this app and after trying a few others, this is my app of choice. I will give a detailed review in another post.
That is where I am right now.... stayed tuned for more.
Hugs!!! And, lets get healthy together!!!!!!
