Today I am officially down 80 pounds and I can't believe it. It seriously does not feel real.

I have been overweight my whole life. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and pcos with insulin resistance. Once that was found and Meds prescribed I was finally able to lose weight.

Low carb diet, exercise, and lots of persistence. 80 down 45 to go!!!

SW: 245
CW: 165
GW: 120 ish
Height: 5'5

Never give up you can do this!!!!

    About 7 months and I've definitely platued a few times. What's seemed to break it is actually taking a break from working out. Usually once I do that it Kickstart s again. I average about 2 or 3 pounds a week loss.
