My weight loss journey through the years

Hi my name is Peggy. I am 75 years of age. I started on my fitness plan in 2019. My weight at that time was 266. I had tried keto, Mediterranean diet nothing seemed to work. I did lose 40 lbs from 2019 until 2024 using this plan. It was a long struggle for me. In 2024 I was diagnosed with diabetes plus I had heart issues. My mother was diabetic and I have seen the complications from that disease. My family doctor prescribed Ozempic for me to lower my A1C. IT HAS LOWERED IN 15 months to put me as pre-diabetic. I also was able to come off of some of my heart meds due to dropping 65 lbs. it was a miracle for me. It quieted the noise in my head concerning sweets. I would lie in bed at night and would be thinking about a box of chocolates I had in the other room. I no longer have the cravings. Everyone’s weight loss journey is different. I found what works for me. I am forever grateful for my fitness pal plan jump starting my weight loss journey. I wish everyone success on their weight loss journey. It will definitely transform your life for the better.
