Down 2.5 more pounds :) this week has been pretty rough for me. I did slip and have wine Wednesday. My now ex boyfriend went on a date Wednesday night with a different woman and it had me in a pretty dark place. I get my furbaby tomorrow which I’m extremely excited about. And now that I’m single I get to focus on my furbaby and myself with no worries

So, I’m dealing with a pretty bad breakup. My now ex decided he wanted to go on dates with other girls while we were still together 🙃 he told me prior, but didn’t seem to care that it would hurt me. At first I dealt with it, because I love him. But then I realized I’m not an option for people, and he made me just an option.

So, now that that is done, I decided I need a little lifestyle change. I’ve been wanting a dog for a while because none of my friends like taking hikes and they’re boring alone, I also work from home so having a furbaby friend to keep me company would be nice. So I finally caved. Meet Lola 💖

Happy to report I’m down another 5.5lbs. I’m worried a lot of this is because I was skipping meals or shrinking meals due to loss of appetite. This week has been pretty crazy for me. My boyfriend and I are dealing with a pretty big fall out and we’re in the process of deciding if we love eachother enough to push through. (Ball is in his court because personally I absolutely adore the man.) I also found out my mom likely has Covid 19, shes high risk which has me extremely worried.

Skipped eating thanksgiving meal, still ate on plan with my simple keto diet and desperately hope I lose weight next week

19lbs down all together 🥵

Not gonna post my meals on here unless they’re new to my page as I eat a lot of the same stuff since it’s simple and easy.

Meal lunch prep today:

3oz of pan seared shrimp, seared in lime juice, butter and garlic

1 cup of broccoli. I steamed fresh broccoli in the microwave for 8 minutes, let cool cut in to small pieces, and pan sautéed in butter, garlic, and basil

(As you can tell...I like garlic a lot 😅)

11.18 weigh in 🥵 I won’t lie, it was a tad discouraging stepping on the scale and seeing only 1lb of weightloss however the nurse stressed that my body is likely halting because of the amount of fat I’ve lost in the last 2 weeks. I can’t help but hope next weeks number is a lot more encouraging however

Anyone else panic about the loose skin after weightloss because it has me in full anxiety thinking about it. My insurance through my employer doesn’t cover any kind of weightloss procedures other than bariatric surgery which I’m not needing because of keto and exercise. I’m working to lose 160-170lbs so the odds of having loose skin is very high 😭😭

Hi! My name is Chelsie, I go by the nickname Chelo. I’m 22 years old and live in Wisconsin. My starting weight during this journey is 296.5, which is my all time highest weight. I began my weight loss journey October 26th. I currently go to a medical weight loss clinic that focuses on Keto based dieting along with balancing nutrition with viatamins and calcium pyruvate. I’ve decided documenting my journey is something I want to do so here I am, (Late) but I’ve arrived. I look forward to meeting more people who are doing a keto weightloss journey and would love to hear peoples stories, tips, and work out routines. 💖
