Think how much the Summer Heat is easier to tolerate! I used to get yeast infections by August because of all the sweets and carbs I used to eat. Yeast loves to survive and grow on sugar and heat! I don't get them anymore.

It's o k to start over. My Arthritis Swim teacher said this to us, "Your biggest weakness is quitting. Do you know your biggest strength? It's giving it another try!" You can do this! For me, I've had to start over. Since my sister's wedding, in July, I've gained 10 pounds. It doesn't sound like much, but for a 4 foot 11…

I found buying from Thrift stores helped me with the clothes expense. I know some people don't like buying second hand stuff. But some of the clothes are not so bad. You can always donate them back as you lose your weight. Two years ago I donated 4 bags of clothes of the large size garbage bag. As I was going through my…

"I had foot surgery in which I got an infection. I was in the hospital for a week, still during that I lost 4 lbs.!!" Congratulations! On not gaining your weight back during a health emergency! WOW You've lost a whole person! That's pretty impressive! I thought I was going to be one of those people never to get COVID. I…

I let the littlest things set me back. I admire you. You tackled your weight through out your health battles. I need to learn from you. I need to stop sweating the small stuff.

I F is Intermittent Fasting. I've been doing it for 5 months now and I've lost about 20 pounds in addition to tracking my micro nutrients. I'm on a Low Carb/High Fat diet, and sometimes I'm Keto where you get your carbs 20 grams or below.

No snacking between meals and eating my last meal by 5:30 or 6:00.

Great job! I'm a terrible swimmer. I think I can swim, but when I'm done I'm burping. I think I swallowing air as I swim. I don't know how to stop that.

I never understood it when my mother would adjust dress patterns for my waist. She had to adjust the pattern before cutting the material. Otherwise it wouldn't come out right. She made a lot of dresses for me as I grew up. It wasn't until my OBGYN told me, "I'm glad you are not expecting twins." I answered, "What are you…

I'm 4 foot 11, 144.8 pounds, BMI 29.2 My BMI should be at the highest weight at 123 pounds. I still have a long way to go and Mini Goals are what getting me through the Plateaus. My mini goals are to lose 5 pounds every 5 weeks. I just hit another mini goal today. I lost 7 pounds in my last 5 week span. If I can lose 5…

It sucks that you can't adequately celebrate the weight loss. I'm cheering for you! Keep up the good work! Just take it easy on yourself till you are…

Great job!! Slow and Steady wins the race! I think it's a quote from The Tortoise and the Hare, but don't put me down if I'm wrong.

I've read Dr. Fung book The Diabetic Code. My mother was diabetic and her death was from complications from a stroke. I don't want to end up diabetic so I was interested in preventing this horrible disease. I started Intermittent Fasting on 11/25. So far I've lost about 15 pounds in two months. Before that date I stopped…

This is the best kept secret for saving money while losing weight. Who can afford to buy retail for a new wardrobe every time a dress size or measurement goes down? I'm doing the same thing. I have pants going down by sizes. As I get slimmer I have another pair of pants to put on. I love Gloria Vanderbilt pants and jeans.…

Great Job! A 100 pounds is a lot! You are my inspiration for me to keep going today! I can see your weight loss everywhere, but mostly in your face! You are beautiful!
-
Oh WOW!! Just WOW! My shape right now is similar to your BEFORE picture. I can see I might just be able to tone up to your AFTER picture. You've just motivated me to keep going! It's slow going for me. Only 5 pounds a month, or 6 weeks, depending on the Holiday or Celebrations going on.

Great Job!! You did a lot of hard work with a lot of determination! Thank you for answering the insurance question. I'm wondering how I'm going to look with extra skin if I ever get my BMI down to the Normal Range. I'm pretty sure my insurance won't pay for it. I've been in these ranges with my BMI…

Great Job!! It takes a lot of work and determination, but it's all worth it! I have a question. Did your insurance pay for your tummy tuck and skin removal?

YES!!! I have 10 DISAGREE! That means people are reading. Got to get the news our there! Keto, combined with intermittent fasting works! I'm starting slowly and haven't made it to more than 24 hours fasting. I'm still researching on how to do a prolonged fast safely. I don't think I'm ready for it yet.

Intermittent fasting is what has helped me get through a Plateau. Read Dr. Jason Fung's book titled The Diabetic Code. I'm currently reading that. It talks about intermittent and prolonged fasting. I'll be reading the Obesity Code when I'm finished with this one. He is also on Youtube. Look him up he is a very good…

Dr. Jason Fung is a great speaker and writer. I'm currently reading The Diabetes Code. Prevent and reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally. My mother was diagnosed at age 52 with this horrible disease. She suffered a major stroke and lived for a year and half from this devastating event. So I'm interested in not developing this…

Yes, I'm commenting on my own post reply. I've seen how many clicked Disagree with my comment. I was actually looking forward to it and expecting it! I've been doing the Low Carb/High Fat way of eating for close to two years. I've lost weight and for the most part has kept it off with some slip ups. Those slip ups have…

I like your quote. "You didn't come this far just to get this far." I often give up before I get to the finish line. I see the line with another 35 pounds to lose to get into my healthy BMI. I'm still on this long distance run to get to the finish. At times it feels like a Marathon with every one passing me. I've already…

It's best not to eat popcorn. It's high in carbs, and so easy to eat more than a serving. I know it's hard to say no to popcorn. I love it myself. As soon as I stopped eating popcorn and other high carbs my weight started going negative.
