"Waiting to die" was my reality, as well. Sad, but true. I never even imagined that I could lose so much in what felt like the blink of an eye. The weight is being much more stubborn, now, but I can't complain too much. I believe that you can absolutely change your life with diet -- without surgery! I hope that you find…

Hi, everyone. I'm 44, and have lost 138 lbs in 10 months eating a plant-based diet.

Hi, @marsha082! I tried the community a while back but found it somewhat overwhelming. I decided to give it another try. I'm 44, had lost significant weight once before and regained, but this time switched my diet to heal from chronic Lyme and have lost 138 lbs in 10 months. I wish you all the best in your journey! Please…

Hi, @mamabearangie! I'm 44 and have lost 138 lbs since the end of December. You can do this! If I can, anyone can. :)

Hi! I'm 44, and eating a plant-based diet to recover from chronic illness. In following this diet, I've lost 138 lbs in 10 months, but the most important thing is that I feel so much better! I'm now looking to begin to incorporate exercise. (I, too, work a sedentary desk job.) I wish you the absolute best in your journey!…

I'm trying to stick as closely to whole food plant-based as possible. I was vegan for 5 years with no weight loss, but went WFPB to try to heal from chronic Lyme Disease and I've lost 138 lbs since the last week of December (2016).

Hi, everyone. Welcome, thekatspjs! Mihani: How've you been doing? Is your headache gone yet? I really hope your illness has not blown into a full-blown cold. When you mentioned the sniffles, I was thinking maybe just allergies or sinuses could be the culprit. I'm sorry about your shepherd. but glad you have the pup and…

Hi, Mihani. I hope you got some relief from that headache! It may have been from lack of quality sleep. I have three kitties, one of whom is a beautiful tortoiseshell tabby I inherited from my parents when they passed away, so I call her my "sister kitty." She has gotten so attached to me! She was born in the woods behind…

Hello! Thank you so much for the welcome! I've actually been trying to do a kale and strawberry or raspberry smoothie first thing. How was your chickpea curry?

Thank you for the warm welcome, Mihani. Ironically, I can't "read" as most people do because of neurological issues caused by Lyme, so I actually get books and try to focus on tiny snippets. I've done that with the original ETL and I reference it whenever I need to go back to something. I've also watched several of Dr.…

Hi, everyone. I'm new here. I'm 43 years old and, after having been vegan since 2012, I finally decided to really concentrate on a more nutritarian approach to the diet aspect of my lifestyle. I was diagnosed with an untreated and quite a rampant case of Lyme disease in early 2016, and I'm going through many health effects…

I'm doing something similar, kathy65carnine. I'm not doing anything by name, but I'm concentrating on whole foods (made from plants), no added oil, very little added sodium, and low fat. Please feel free to add me. Noel_57: I've been vegan since 2012, but just recently started this way of eating. The diet proposed in Forks…
