Overweight, over 70, and allergies

Hi, first day here, and I hope I am successful at losing! I have a long way to go. I lost about 37# in the last year, and then last week found out I have multiple allergies and can no longer have wheat/spelt, beef, lamb, pork, dairy from cows, sweeteners of any kind, starchy veggies like corn/potatoes/peas/carrots, fats except for canola or sesame oil. Thankfully, I like my veggies, eggs, chicken, seafood, fruit not too sweet, goat milk. Otherwise, I don't know what someone with these allergies can do. Wow!!! Lost 5# during the last week, but don't expect that to keep up at this rate.
I am committed to sticking with this because the doc said it would relieve inflammation, which in turn causes a lot of pain. I sure hope this work.
I'd appreciate any encouragement you can give. Thanks!:flowerforyou:

Whew, with all those allergies you must be pretty limited on what you can eat! I wish you the best of luck on this journey to health! Congrats on your weight lost so far :flowerforyou:
