6 years ago I wrote my first journal entry. I am now 151 lbs and have tried every diet and exercize plan under the sun. I held steady at 146 give or take. As low as 136, but I lost my mom a few months ago and I am now raising a 5 year old. I gave up, and now I'm miserable. I was always a fit person and I can't seem to get back to it. My muscle mass is gone and my belly is huge. Help!!! I know a lot of it is stress, I need to get out of this rut.

I know low carb is all the rage here, but it hasn’t been the way for me at all. You need something you can enjoy and do for the rest of your life.

Bellaboop, what is your motivation? It needs to be pretty strong to drive weight loss. For me, it took a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes.

Bellaboop, maybe the low-carb folks' posts are more "noticeable," but you'll find plenty of people eating in many different ways. One suggestion: In "Groups," you may find a group that does a WOE that you prefer most and they could help you make adjustments. All that said, my condolences on the loss of your Mom. Everyone grieves differently and at different rates. And I think, if I read your profile correctly, it's been a long time since you've had a little boy in the house! That is a huge adjustment, and may be hard to "diet." Be gentle with yourself right now.

Be kind to yourself; go got a lot going on. A lot of times if you keep careful track of what you eat and portion sizes, you can see where you overeat (and that may not fit any “plan”). One of my hangups was finishing any food my kids didn’t eat to not waste food and they were picky af. Good luck! 🍀
