Hello Fat Secret Family. First of all, I am thankful for this forum. I decided that my road back to the real me in weight loss was going to take some time. I had
lost weight before. Only to gain it back thinking my metabolism had returned. I
was unable to maintain it for any length of time. Going back to my old habits.

My level of activity went way down. I changed jobs and I regained all the weight. Sit down jobs are the worse type of jobs for one's health. And the older you
get your metabolism gets slower. Sit down jobs also cause your muscles to stiffen
and ache. Back issues because of your fat belly. Just being real.

So I started researching until I found something that would work for me. I increased my activity got a Fitbit. Then I found eat stop eat. Now I am using the Keto diet. I had to find something that I could live with. Well, Keto with Eat Stop Eat which is intermittent fasting works for me. I just might reach my goal of under 300lbs by Thanksgiving. So Blessed. It is a marathon, not a sprint.

I also appreciate all the positive encouragement. I think you all are fantastic people. I encourage all of you to never give up. I believe in you.

311.0 lb Lost so far: 48.0 lb.    Still to go: 121.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
