40. I was doing Weight Watchers on a keto diet

Thu Dec 9, 2021, 04:07 PM

Dec 2021

And I was doing really well. Lost 6 pounds the first month.

Then COVID hit and they closed the meetings. I need people to help me lose and the people at that WW meeting were really great.

I keep checking to see if they started up again but they haven't. There are other WW meeting in the area but the people at that one were just so great. I may have to go to one in another area.

I've gone back to just Keto, but the point system helped me from eating too many calories which you can do even on Keto.

Funny though lately I've upped my exercise and though I haven't lost weight my belly has decreased by 2 inches.
