I've been type two diabetic for 20+ years. My doctor has just eliminated 100% of my medications!!!
I will be 34 in April. Over 20 years ago I struggled with "pre-diabetes." I was a teenager and diabetes runs in my family. "This is your doctor's office calling. Your results came back. You are now a type two diabetic." I fell into depression. Lost and gained 30+ lbs within 2 months. My endocrine would say: "Why do you…

My anxiety kicks in and I start to " What if" things. Ultimately, I know this has to be done because I'm not getting any younger and it's…

1 year, Lots Learned, 62lbs Down (Progress Pic)
A year ago I decided it was time to start. I was in a big calorie deficit and lost a lot of weight at the beginning. Then I found a coach who taught me about macros and how to exercise regularly - what a change! After 3 months of working with that coach, I felt like I was on the right track but wanted more. So I changed…

Making it happen -- for the first time in years.
Hi folks! Needed to share it out with someone. I've been logging calories for 5 days. I worked out today for the first time in probably 4 or 5 years. I bought myself some kettlebells, and a wrist device to help keep track of steps, heart rate, sleep, so on. It feels great to actually make it happen. I'm also making myself…

An Apology
I apologize for any of my posts that seem to imply that the way I've found to lose weight, get healthy and not put the weight back on is for everyone. Looking over what I've written, I have to agree that it DOES seem to imply that. I guess after 60 years of yo-yo dieting and gaining more weight afterwards each time to the…

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…

INTERMITTENT FASTING HAS WORKED MIRACLES
Looking back over my "diet history", I realize I've spent way too much of my life focused on and anguishing over food. I've been on every diet imaginable since the age of 16. I was either torturing myself by depriving myself of food or was breaking the diet due to intense hunger and eating any and everything I wanted. I…

Intro and Thanks :)
I joined MyFitnessPal almost a year ago but kept my account private until recently, so I never did introduce myself.

Would love to collaborate with others here.
