A couple of years ago I lost 60+ pounds here, mainly eating a plant based diet.
Fast forward a couple years later - had covid, got pretty sick, still pretty sick and gained all of the weight back.
But I lost about 20 pounds from my illness - which we are still trying to figure out.
And a couple of months ago I learned that I was prediabetic. Happy to say that after losing a few pounds my numbers are no longer in that range.
In this time I've become an ethical vegan and I've been eating too much vegan junk foods and not as many plants as I used to.
So here I am. Back again. I know how to lose the weight and I've already started. And once I get on the scale this week I'll know how much I need to lose. Probably @45 pounds.
If you remember me from before 2020 please say hi. Or just say hi anyways. 🤗

UPDATE: I got on the scale. Looks like I should lose 35-40 pounds. A tiny bit better than I expected. Yay me!
Also, I couldn't figure out how to edit my post. Seemed easy before but with the changes I couldn't figure it out. 😕1 -
