It has been a struggle to get to Onederland, in the end I found that I was trying too hard and stressing myself which was in and of itself contributing to my weight gain. I let go and de-stressed and started a low carb diet. The low carb diet really works for me. Last night I had a 2% latte, and a tea with some sugar and I still entered into the lower end of 199. Not even the higher end but I woke up to 199.2. https://imgur.com/a/KaqnWq4 <--- 199.2 on the scale this morning. Last night I weighed in 201 which made me proud of myself. I believe between last night and this morning I lost some fat and also some water weight. My body is in Ketosis fat burning mode now so it is burning fat around the clock as I sleep. I looked in the mirror and my mid section (love handles etc etc) look noticeably less so last night as I slept some fat burning did happen for sure. I did some push ups before I went to sleep last night and I believe that accelerated my fat loss over night. Interesting thing is that when I was doing the push ups this time (I haven't done them for 2 months) I noticed they were very easy to do, I go to 20 without barely breaking a sweat and breathing hard. I could've kept going up to 40 if I so pleased. Today I will do abs. One guy mentioned I should do strength training when on the Keto without any Carb intake or even taking protein. He said the body will use the fat for energy stores. I will start getting more toned but not bigger muscles he said. I mentioned to him that I always get fat if I start eating more and eating carbs when strength training so he gave me that advice.

The far right picture is my latest progress image from last night. The one of the far left is me in 2019 when I weighed 159 before losing myself with some bad habits. At my highest I weighed 214. When I was 159 I felt good and slim and light weight and my inner thighs didn't touch. Right now at 199 the inner thighs almost don't touch. I gotta make sure I continue on Keto as I can easily regain that fat weight if I don't keep up the low Carb diet.

There was also a time where I did a lot of lifting and started getting more muscles beneath the fat.

The good thing now is that this is pretty much considered like a cut, and when I do go back towards 159lbs again, I should see more prominent abs and definition. If I get down to 180lbs I will for sure start getting more of a shredded look. I am focused now, can't go up in weight again, only downwards from here on.
