Diary of a holiday hogette...DAY ONE
Hello! :-) today is December 27th, 2017. I can’t wait until the first of the year to stop killing myself. I have binged on fudge and cinnamon rolls since thanksgiving. I have a trip coming up in the spring that will require a lot of walking, and I don’t want to drop dead of a heart attack. I am, female, 5’9” height and 195 lbs. I need to dump 30 unhealthy pounds (165 is my goal) but I need a few buddies who are in the same boat and looking for accountability. I’ll try to check in every day after I weigh in. I’m doing the keto plan at first. Also adding weight training and walking. I’d love to hear from you, and would be happy to cheerlead for those who need it. I found an affirmation website that says to repeat their affirmations several time a day. So, day one? I AM STRONG IN MIND AND BODY AND I CAN DO THIS. Yeah. Cheesy, I know. Maybe it will work? Happy New Year.

crex52 hi! Thank you for the encouragement! 12 lbs is wonderful, congratulations. I’m impressed that you made it through the holiday season with such a great loss. I started back then, too, but got totally derailed. Now, back at square one. So far I have dropped a few pounds again, and I know hearing from people like you will help me succeed! Thank you! Stay in touch if you like, I love the success stories :-)

I am right with you girl!! I started at 198 the dropped 5 but I did a holiday binge so I need to restart. I feel deep down this Keto is best for my body and I am a sharp, loving professional and Mom but the weight area is the area of my life I feel defeated in! I hate that! I will cheer you on all the way to goal and appreciate any help I can get😊 2018 is the year!!!!!

d123lie6556 Happy New Year! It seems we have a lot in common in this battle. :-). I am super talented at finding reasons not to exercise! So, I’m putting on my tennis shoes and heading out for a walk with my family. It’s COLD and I’m comfy here, writing to you, but I suppose this change we are endeavoring comes with a certain amount of pain! LOL. Check in with me now and then, if you want. I’d love it, and I need to know I’m not alone...

I’m starting this week as well. A couple I know have done this with great success and I hope I can too. Still doing a lot of reading and will need to get pantry cleaned out. I have two teenage daughters and hope they will make the adjustments with me so I don’t feel the need to prepare multiple meals.
