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.

When is LESS -- MORE ??





Thought for today :

I'm doing *everything* right ! Watching the carbs, exercising, etc. Then WHY is the weight loss So slow ? You got me.  I think I lost another pound. For the past month, the scale is going week by week S-L-O-W-LY. First week I lost four pounds, then a couple of weeks later I lost one. Now I think I have lost a total of six pounds -- but then again, It has only been a month ! JIMMY MOORE  can loose more weight than that in one week !

I asked one of my fitness instructors what may be the reason WHY. She says as long as I am loosing inches (which I am !) that I am probably gaining MUSCLE . Ok , I'm supposed to get excited here, right ?  Fat- turning into muscle. Muscle weighs more. But I'm really NOT excited I'd rather loose the weight. 

If anyone has any answers to this mystery, please FEEL FREE TO COMMENT !!

So here are my choices :  Loose inches - gain muscle. Loose weight - fat remains. WHY CAN'T THEIR BE AN IN-BETWEEN ??  Ohhh, the places we go !!

----------------------------------------------------

March 1st. It's such a beautiful day here in New Orleans, sunny skies, and cool temps. I was able to get outside today, .. venturing to Anytime Fitness for a Body Vibe and Body Flow exercise class.  Dare I join in tonight for a Body Pump (weightlifting class) ? Only time will tell !!  I hope everyone has a nice day !!

Jimmy Moore is a man, 250 pounds, eats VERY clean and exercises a lot.

It could be a number of things:

Processed food, calories too high, gaining muscle etc etc. If you're losing inches, that is most important.
