Back to Do it Again
Just found myself on the Wonderland list and was a bit sad because I am at 229 now. I lost 80 lbs. and gained back 55 in a year and a half of a totally sedentary job, not working out, and trying to stay on a low fat diet.
23 days ago I began to see a personal trainer and nutritionist. I stopped taking Phentermine, which made it hard to sleep and wasn't helping me lose weight anymore.
I switched from a typical low fat calorie counting diet to eating real food, high in fat and protein and as low in carbs as possible. I am still calorie and carb counting. My carb count is still too high to go into ketosis, I think, but I'm working on it.
I also went from a year of dodging the gym back to a weightlifting and cardio routine 2x a week.
I've lost almost no weight so far, but it seems to be shifting around a bit and I feel great. Next steps are to exercise more like 4x a week, drink more water, and further reduce carbs.
Wish me luck.
