Update 3/16/2023 Last year I lost about 50 lbs, but gained half of that back (oy!) So I'm back at it, trying to regain that territory - mostly through keto and fasting - a combination of intermittent fasting and longer fasts.
I have been overweight most of my life. Now 68.5 yrs old. This weight loss has not been a rapid process. My highest weight was 280, which I hit twice, the last time about 6 years ago. I discovered I do much better physically and emotionally without gluten, so getting rid of that turned around the bad times for me (depression and weight gain). Eventually, I was diagnosed with Celiac after a genetic test. My success here has been a combination of the great community support, and the tracking of food and activity. I've been eating low carb and gluten fee for a long time, but the tools here allow me to do it more accountably. Also, many of the keto resources say that calories don't matter, but I do better when I also restrict calories. I've been having good success with time restricted eating (18:6) and longer fasts. I have a lot more to lose, but I feel optimistic and increasingly healthy. Aiming for about 150.

Still doing HFLC/keto. When I stick to it, it works.

Love to you all, you make this journey fun and I really appreciate your support!

I'm 5'6.5" and large framed. As of 5/1/19: 48" bust/ 39.5"waist/ 48"hips
1/21/22: 44" bust/ 37"waist/ 44" hips
