Hello there ladies. It's been six months and it's time for an update. I'm down a total of 63 lbs now and looking to drop another 22. My 46th birthday is in mid August, so I know I won't make it by then. So I'm looking to be at goal by the end of the year and go out on New Years in something amazing. My highest weight was 216. I always thought it was 205! Then I checked here and I may have started here lower but I gained. Sigh. Well I hope you all are doing well and meeting your personal goals as well.

Great thread! I'm looking for inspiration as I'm 43, 5'2" and not sure of my weight as my scales are buggered, but a UK size 20 and the biggest I've ever been. As someone who was able to stick at around a size 12 with little effort, it's been quite a shock how quickly the weight has piled on since I hit 40

I know the principles of healthy living, I just struggle to put them into practice on a daily basis. But I've recently been diagnosed with hypertension, cholesterol levels off the charts and am borderline type 2 diabetic, so I NEED to make a change. I also desperately want to get back into all my gorgeous clothes!

@rabbyduby I started off with weight watcher based app until I got to the lowest amount of points--for Points Plus that was 26. I wasted my time there for about a year losing and gaining the same 15 pounds. And then I started watching my carbs by eating rice, bread and fruit before 2 pm. Then I started trying to keep those carbs under 100grams then 75, etc. recently I started keto when I found a website with great recipes that I tried and found delicious. That was ruled.me.com. Also some others like lowcarbmaven. I figure try a little bit of everything so as not to get bored as long as it's not crazy restrictive, right?
