LOSING AND KEEPING WEIGHT OFF FOREVER
I truly believe the only way to lose weight and keep it off forever (that's what we want, right?) is to to eat a high protein/low fat diet, similar to KETO, and eat 1-2 meals a day with NO SNACKING. Drink water, unsweet tea or balcak coffee in-between to keep yourself hydrated and do this as a normal routine. I know people…

Lost 60 Pounds with 40 to Go!
I started at 270. My doctor classified me as MORBIDLY OBESE and gave me a referral for gastric bypass surgery, and I went for the consultation but after seeing photos of the procedures, I bolted out of the office. The last thing I wanted was to ruin my stomach. I'm already being treated for reflux and have a hiatal hernia…

My Brand New Wardrobe
Years ago when I was on a calorie restricted diet, I lost some weight and as an incentive to help me continue to lose, I bought a large number of clothes in a smaller size. (They were on clearance with an additional 20% off.) I didn't go on to lose any more weight and regained what I'd lost plus some more pounds. I've lost…

Well on my way...
I've not posted a lot, but I was in a very bad place a year ago. I'm a 5'-9", 61-year-old male and my doctor told me I needed to lose 100+ lbs. and recommended bariatric surgery.
