I am 60 years old as of this month. I have been fat my entire life - the doctor had my mother put me on a skim milk formula at 3 months! We know better now, but that was in the ‘50s. It (obviously) didn’t help, as I remained a fat (and sickly) infant, toddler, child. I joined WeightWatchers the first time at twelve. Then I became the typical rebellious teen, and refused to follow the doctor’s diets. I ate what my friends ate, which while often carby, was also often fatty and greasy. Surprisingly (not) I lost weight. I weighed 20 lbs less at 19 then I had after WW at 12. But then I stopped being a rebellious teen, and started following the doctor’s advice again. (Sigh) I gained it all back, and more. Which has pretty much been my story since. I’ve gone on a number of “doctor recommended” diets, included modified fasts and liquids only. I joined and quit WW 2 more times. But they didn’t work. I tried Low Carb several years ago, and lost 80 lbs., the only diet that ever did anything for me, but got so many talks about how “unhealthy” it was I finally caved and stopped. Naturally, I gained it all back plus more. Last November, I finally got so sick of it, I started LC again. I didn’t know much about it, just started by cutting out all grains (since I was always dieting, I never really ate sugar) and that worked somewhat. I was losing a pound a week, sometimes 1 and a half. Then I began reading and learning more, and tweaking it. I found this site on 8/6, and started logging everything, which helped. I’ve been lurking and reading, and the advice, tips, links, etc. from all you people have been spectacular. I LOVE my coffee with butter and coconut oil! And I’ve lost 10 lbs. this month - 52 since November. I still have a long ways to go, but I know this is truly my WOL. I am NEVER going back to LFHC.
