    Hi guys I'm not perfect and have learned a lot over the years as I have a lot of food sensitivities and had to change the way I ate... I ended up quite sick and was on tons of meds just to help me break down some foods and help my body
    Pls feel free to add me I'm not a professional trainer or anything but I have helped myself as well as friends.

    Weighed in on December 18, 2015 at 343. Started my weight loss determination on January 18. Currently 228.
    I have been doing great until last week when the doctor and nutritionist told me I wasn't eating enough protein and fiber. Since then i'm eating what they recommend and have gained back 3 lbs. I'm pissed. I think these people don't know what they are talking about. I'm fine and going back to what I was eating before. I felt so healthy. I knew what my body needed and did that. Now I feel over full, fatter and lazy. Just don't feel right. When I calculate everything, and with reading over 51 books now on this topic, I think the medical profession thinks too much like the government intervening on what we need and thinking of dictating what is "normal". I believe we are all different and need to listen to our body. It's talking to us. I can't believe I allowed them to dictate and worse I listened.

    Sorry not so positive. I just fill so bloated and full. I love my veggies and I don't believe I need meat especially since I've done without it since January and all my blood work is perfect.

    I am celebrating though. I am no longer considered a diabetic. Yipee!

    I have started my diet 4 days ago and feeling really determined. I am new to the app so I am not to sure how to add people. I would ideally like to loose around 2-3 stones. I am trying to aim for around 10lbs a month. Support like this is very encouraging. As it's a tough journey. Good luck everyone.. thanks

    You can add me, I was 218-221 and no am 204-205 range. I am on the nutrisystem diet for now, learning portion control. I eat only their food plus green veggies plus 64 oz of water per day. I am following 1200 calories per day as I am not as active as I once was. I am beginning to walk every other day, for about 2 miles. I started 9/24/16.
