I've regained 40 lbs out of the 70 I had originally lost in the in the last 1.5 years. I've finally resolved that this is hurting me more than anyone in office and in order to have the energy and well being to keep going, I need to be healthy. Plus, the prospect of losing whatever health insurance I have makes me even more…

Hi! I've been alternating keto/low carb for about three years now and despite my efforts, I cannot seem to get below 30 lbs above my goal weight (140 lbs for a 5'4" frame, nothing outrageous). I have a friend who swears by intermittent fasting and I've been reading up on the benefits of autophagy, so I'm giving it a go.…

So true! The stretch marks and wrinkles on my stomach and thighs make me feel so much more productive, like I can literally see where my fat has disappeared from.

Yes, you can. What you read on Google is correct.

I tried to tighten the ankle straps on a pair of shoes I haven't worn since last year, but they were already in the last hole. My cankles have been replaced by rather dainty ankles! :)

76 lbs and counting

I know this is going to sound strange, but after dealing with panic attacks for years, I read somewhere to tell yourself to just go with it. Like I'm taunting it in my head. When I feel one coming on, I tell it "Go ahead, bring it on! I'm ready for you!" Then I'd sit and wait for it to go full blown, but strangely it would…

Hi, My name is Bernadette. I'm half way to my goal weight. Down 58, 57 to go. The first twenty pounds took 2 years to accomplish, I didn't get serious about changing my eating habits until April. Since then I've lost 38 lbs. It's taking a while, but I'm hoping to adopt eating habits that will last for the rest of my life…

I had mine out in 1992 at 19. Three days after surgery I had pizza without problems, but I was younger then. I've done keto on and off over the last 20 years without a problem. I did start having issues with gluten about 12 years ago, but never attributed it to the fact that I didn't have a gallbladder. I do have a problem…

I saw a picture that someone took of me today, and instead of cringing like I usually do because I look so huge, I thought "hey, I look almost normal." And my double chin is disappearing... I just wish the extra skin would disappear with it.

I was told by my doctor that any time you lose 10% of your body weight to expect some hair loss, no matter what diet it is. Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but it's only temporary.

Interesting. I had one on my neck since I was about 6, one night being sick of looking at it I removed it myself. Two weeks later three popped up on the other side of my neck. I figured I was just going to have to live with it. But just now I checked them out and they do appear to be smaller! I could have saved myself a…

I have the same reaction if I don't eat for a long time (12+ hours) and I had my gallbladder taken out as well. It's even worse during my TOM. Maybe the missing gallbladder mixed with the wacky hormones are to blame.

The same thing happened to me when I first started. I felt like I was 15 all over again, and not in a good way. It was pretty annoying, but it all cleared up a week or so later. I just get the hormonal zit here and there now. One thing I have noticed lately is my skin feels so supple now. I think it's the higher fat…

Here are my experiences from both sides, it's wordy and may or may not help, but here it goes... Starting when I was 12 and about 30lbs. overweight, my mom (because she loves me) put me on a diet. I had several different "diet plans" or when I was really overweight, a meal replacement shake. Over time I developed a…

Hi! I'm Bernadette, 42, married for 15 yrs. with a 14 and 8 yr old. Of course, it's been on and off, but I've been on MFP for about 3 yrs, give or take. I've lost about 40 lbs in that time, depending on what day it is. I stopped drinking soda and lost 10 lbs the first year. I stopped eating gluten and lost another 10 that…
