Bernita's Weight-Loss Journey 2017

04/29/2026

Good morning and happy hump day. I forgot to post yesterday, but I'm here today. Yesterday was a good day for working out. I did one mile around the track and worked on my legs. I am very sore, but I'm good. I did not get on the scale this morning because I didn't want to frustrate myself again. My next weigh-in will be Monday morning. No pain, no gain, as they say. Lies you tell, lol. Remember to always get your water intake as much as you can throughout the day. And always remember why you're doing this, and don't give up. Have a beautiful day!!!!!

Happy Monday, everyone! I'm back again. I slipped a little and have gained about 9 pounds. I know what I did and was beating myself up about it. I'm back now, stronger than ever. I got distracted a bit, but I haven't forgotten my ultimate goal: to live a healthy life and lose weight. First goal: lose 10 pounds by May 28, 2026. Every month, I will set a new goal until I reach the ultimate goal of 160 pounds. Let's get it!!!!

Good morning my f/b fam. I've been on this weight loss journey for several years now and have always fallen off the wagon. But last year was the first time i became truly committed to this journey. Yes i have a story to tell about this journey. First i would like to say that i was doing it for the wrong reasons and didn't have the proper support team. When i decided to take this journey serious, I included the most important person in the world, and that was God. I had to pray before anything I did and to always consult with God. He gave the strength and guidance I needed to start this journey and stay on it. Yes I backslid a few times but, I never quit. I had the gastric sleeve surgery in May 2025 and it was the best decision of my life. Blood pressure was ridiculously high and so was my weight. I was a walking time boom spiraling out of control. Then I cried out to my heavenly father for help and he put the right people in my path to get help. Thanks to my sister Lisa Banks and my amazing surgery team, I'm doing well now. My start weight was 319lbs, and I'm down to 250, and that's without working out. Now I'm incorporating working out and back on this journey to lose the rest of this weight. God gave me another chance at life and I'm not going to waste it. It's healthy eating and working out for me now. It's hard getting started but, once I do get started, it's on to reaching my goal weight. I will be posting pics of my journey and feel free to leave advice. Be blessed and always be a blessing!

Good blessed morning everyone!!!😀. It feels so good to be back at it again, and this time, it will be for good. I've joined this 50 Squat Challenge and it entails doing 50 squats every day for the month of December. It is representing all of the cancer survivors and the ones who are dealing with it now. As a two time cancer survivor, I felt it was duty to do this challenge and started off kind of rocky the first two days but, I found what works for me in doing this and it's been great every since. I'm on day #4 now and feeling great. Come check us out!!! Have an awesome day!

Hello everyone!!!
I'm back at it again. There will be some new changes coming to my page so stay tuned. I'm truly looking forward to this journey again and more motivated. I've had to release a lot of stressors from my life that kept me away from my journey and I can honestly say, it hindered and hurt me a lot. But now it's time to focus on the comeback from the setback. Just keep watching.....
