question: how old...

Kate7294 · August 2014

I was 39 when diagnosed with PCOS and Pre-diabetes. Lost from 243 to 176 then became pregnant with my 2nd child.
Now at soon to be 42 I'm looking to lower my cholesterol and become healthy.

It took until July, 2013.
I was 57, and staring into the future after having had to retire from the effects of Type II diabetes.
I weighed 315 pounds, with painfully arthritic knees, neuropathy in my feet, terrible food choices, and clinical depression.
After studying the best ways for a diabetic to get healthy, I found the Atkins/Paleo lifestyle,
and read the wheatbellyblog. I've lost 53 pounds on the 'diet' I can follow for the rest of my life.
I want to be at goal by next August, when I'll have my 60th birthday.

This is my LAST diet.

Form it was not a age it was being told "You have diabetes" and my daughter was born the same year, been fighting ever since, I would say about 31 I was 275-280 @ 5'-5". Now I'm at 215, the first two year lost 55 lbs and held 220 for the last 11 years could never go pass it. I would lose the again back, now I have been 215 for about four month and still fighting one day I hope to be under 200.

I've been on every diet known to man since I was about 30 years old. I have even worked at most of those places. Two years ago I lost 30 pounds and was looking pretty good. The problem was as soon as I stopped eating their products, I gained it all back. This time when I saw a photo of myself and nearly cried. What happened? Enough is enough so I am back on here, but eating healthy foods rather than dieting. The process is slower, but hopefully it will stay off this time and no more dieting. Slim at 60 is what I hope to be by my next birthday.
