No more miss piggie

Hello everyone I know it's been a long time but I'm back. Been going through some things and I figured... Why not write?!?! It always seems to help me out when I have a lot on my mind.
Well for starters as the post says "no more miss piggie" for a reason! Im a woman who can cook and loves to eat!! Thats my downfall, i love food!! Since i learned how to cook I've been cooking, started out working in my school cafeteria, then papa johns, then an anerican grill, so food has always been apart of my life. However over the past year ive been noticing my weight gain. I was up to 191 lbs, ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY ONE POUNDS!!! Thats a lot for someone who is only 5'3! So when i seen that i knew i had to start making changes!! It just wasn't right! So i started detoxing, fasting with my church and organization, exercising and curin portions of my food! But there would be times where id lose that motivation and start eating unhealthy again. It was just a terrible cycle until i had a breakdown. I knew i could do it so i put my mind to it and finished off a 2 week detox, while exercising, losing about 16-20 lbs. that right there had me. But then i would look at my body and couldn't see any changes. The cycle continued.
Overall I have been losing and gaining weight over the past 3 months. I've lost a total of 24 lbs but I believe I've gained at least 5 back. The past couple of weeks stress and worry have been my roommates and we would pig out all the time, not worry about if I gain any weight back. Well it's time for some motivation!! I go in or surgery tomorrow (huge stressor but I know God will be with me!) so after giving myself time to heal, I am hitting the gym *again*! But this time I want to focus on toning my body and then losing the remaining weight!
I've recently joined my fitness pal and I currently use an app called lose it! It helps count my calories and keep my on track for losing weight! Now if you have any other ideas on how to tone and stay on track I would truly appreciate it!
Welp that all for now!! I'll keep you all updated with my goals and accomplishments!! I'm sure there will be many!! :-)
