One Year Anniversary

Today is my one year anniversary of using My Fitness Pal to help with my health and weight loss goals. My first entry was on June 4, 2023 and my weight was 184 lbs. I got down to 154 but have gained back almost 6 lbs. over the last 3 months. Just shows, you need to stay vigilant even after reaching your goal.
I had a lot of health issues that happened with my weight loss though. Autoimmune and thyroid disorders that no one warned me about which are common in older women losing weight.
Everything appears to have stabilized. I was post-menopausal but somehow a hormone imbalance seems like it might have been the culprit. I believe my body was addicted to its larger size.
Right now, I am stable.
I want to create another post on what I have discovered over this past year in case it helps someone else.
