About Me

New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
🌾 Welcome to My Low‑Carb Life As of January 2026, I’ve started a new chapter: I recently began the GLP‑1 Wegovy pill to help me get back on track with my weight‑loss goals. Life has thrown its share of challenges my way, and I’ve gained back some of the weight I once worked so hard to lose — so this is my reset moment. My journey began in 2008, when my doctor warned me about rising blood pressure and challenged me to lose ten pounds in three months. I ended up losing 26. By 2011, life had shifted again, and I recommitted to the low‑carb lifestyle that helped me feel strong and steady. And today, I’m still committed — just with new tools, new wisdom, and a whole lot more grace for myself. I live just outside New Orleans, deep in sweet Cajun Country, where we hunt, fish, “make groceries,” and enjoy the simple things. I exercise three times a week and practice relaxing on the off days. My immediate goal is to lose 15 pounds, and I’m focused on moving forward with intention and consistency. So pull up a chair and stay a spell — this blog follows my low‑carb journey, my Southern roots, and now, my Wegovy pill adventure.

I Fell off the wagon ... again !





Hi ! Been a while since I personally blogged, so I cannot even tell you if anyone is out there reading this. If you are, I would appreciate your support !

I recently gained back 10 of the 35 pounds I've been able to keep off for the last
1 1/2 years. I could blame it on the medications I recently took for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Menopause. Nothing like being diagnosed as having 'hot flashes, and irritable bowels !'. Makes one want to puke.

For the last two weeks I've tried going back on my low carb diet to no avail. I'm weighing in at 144 pounds now. Remember at 5' 4" and a bloated-as-all-get-out tummy to prove it.

I'm exercising and doing every RIGHT. So, I'm stuck in Limbo. nada. I hope someone is out there that can provide at least a little bit of encouragement. This blog says I have 23 followers, so does anyone care ??

I know. I'm at a new 'low'.. (and its not weight). Is there anybody out there ?

So, u will be coming back to the U.S. ? Where will u be then ? Sorry your school is closed.

Back to your comment. I was on meds for IBS and menopause for a few weeks. Got off , noticed the weight gain.

I'/m starting week 3 of the low carb, with NO success. I'm exercising like crazy. Two hours yesterday and 1 1/2 today.

It seems all of the weight is in my GUT.. or so it seems. I'm drinking tons of water with the occasional Coke zero. So by water weight, do u actually mean water I'm drinking or water I'm retainin?

Please let me know and thanks for caring and responding.
