Success story

So for years I’ve been struggling with weight…the same old story as I’m sure you’ve heard before. I lose a bunch of weight just to gain it all back again. When I was in my middle 40’s I said I was going to be fit by the time I hit 50! That was my goal and I struggled with hitting my target and my fit and 50 passed on by.

So about 1 1/2 years ago I decided that I had had enough. I was tired of playing mind games with myself. Thinking I’ve had a good day and really hadn’t. So I started calculating my food intake. I went on a really strict diet and then I finally found Keto. I finally succeeded. I’ve lost almost 75 pounds.

I had an event that I was going to attend in November so of course I had to go and purchase a few wardrobe items as none of my clothes were fitting anymore. I went into the store and a really nice clerk helped me pick out a few things. She brought me a size 6 pants…I told her there was no way I would even be close to wearing that size. She said to me well just try them on and I thought ok why not, she’ll be heading back to the shelves to get me a bigger size for sure. I used to wear a 1X plus size and there was no way I was fitting into a 6. So I tried them on….and they fit like they were custom made just for me. WOW what a feeling!! I was so thrilled with myself and really proud that I was capable of losing that much weight.

Everyday is still a struggle…I still have to watch what I eat and drink…if I don’t pay attention I gain it back…my hubby has been home this past week and we’ve been busy with socializing and eating out and I’m already up 3 pounds. I have set a goal for myself on the “top” limit I will weigh, so today I’m working on losing that 3 pounds.

My hubby has joined me in the weight loss battle. He’s dropped 45 pounds in about 3 months. We both feel amazing and never want to go back to the way we were.

I guess my point to this rant is: Never give up, always pay attention to how your feeling, why and what you are eating.

We have decided to start working out….just a little bit- but it’s a start.

Hi my name is Kim

Hello everyone, I’m a newbie to this blogging, but I really thought I might be able to make a difference in the world

I really wanted to get my story out there and let people know that it’s ok to try something new.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives me an outlet to express where I’ve been and where I’m going in life.
  • Because it will help me focus on bringing new ideas to life and possibly giving someone else to bring a challenge and ideas to their life.

My mission is to help others with challenges they may be facing or are facing in todays society. With job losses, weight issues, kids, pets, and the list goes on. I’ve had personal experiences that I’m willing to share and hopefully help people.

My first post!

Hello everyone, this is my very first post on my new blog. I am really out of my comfort zone here as this is all new to me. I just wanted to share some of my life’s experiences – good and bad!

What I would like to achieve by blogging, is to do something out of my comfort zone, help others to get out of their comfort zone…do something exciting and productive. I will blog on life experiences on my experiences.

I hope to hear from some of you on how this all works and what you think of my first post!
