cherry garcia's diary

Hey Cherry!

It's been a logn time, how are you doing? Sorry to hear about the park incident - people can be such barstewards at times. I don't know what goes through people's heads to do such things.

Hope you are on track :) xx
 
okay, this is embarassing, it's been 4 months since my last confession (here)! oh how i've been a bad bad girl!

this year i have succeeded in adding all the weight i lost last year! :nopity:

it's like a bad joke, I can't believe i'll have to adjust my ticker from reading 40 pounds lost to only 8 pounds lost!:svengo:

But i've decided what's done is done, i can't look back and keep punishing myself for all that i've done wrong....the best way forward is to just start all over once again. The journey begins once again :driving:

===========================================
CURRENT WEIGHT: 343.7 pounds

Hey Cherry,

I almost burst into tears at your last entry. I could have written the exact same thing. How is your restart going? Hope you're well. C x
 
hey hun!
long time no read
don't feel bad, I myself gained all the weight I lost so I am not feeling too good either!
but we are in this together, the good thing is you are back :D
we are both beginning the journey again!

xoxo
 
Wow, so it's been 5 years since i was last here? A whole lot has happened since. I gained back all the weight I lost and then some.

I ballooned up to my all time highest of 378pounds last year and decided enough was enough. So exactly a year ago today i made the change and have since lost 77pounds...I'm down to 301 pounds now. Just a hair away from being in the two hundreds which I haven't seen in over a decade.

I wish i stuck to all my hard work 6 years ago when i joined this forum, i would have been so much further ahead....but no regrets, can't change the past but can work on the present to change my future. Till then, i'll continue plodding on.

I work out 5 times a week, 3 days strength training and 3 or more days cardio. And I've been on the ketogenic diet for over 3 months now and it has worked really well for me....calories varying from 1500-1900ish. All of this has been working well for me, so far so good so i'm sticking to it for now.
