    Hi Connie - great job, that’s a huge accomplishment. I am 66 years old and also hit rock bottom and knew I needed to lose weight. I lost my son 16 months ago (he was 38), and for a year I was just lost in a sea of grief. I didn’t leave my recliner except to eat and I packed on over 60 pounds and didn’t care, nothing made sense to me. Finally last April my body started to give me clear signals that I could continue on my road to dying or I could start living again. I have lost 42 pounds since April without really dieting. I eat what I want but when I hit 1200 calories, that’s it, I stop eating for the day. Seems to be working for me, what do you find works for you? - my name is Darlene
