Last time I went to the doctor, I was down to 218. I haven't been that low in years. Now, almost two months later, I don't know what I weigh. But, I'm down to a size 14 in women's blue jeans. I haven't worn a 14 since I was about 16 years old. I haven't been eating as healthily as my sister wants me to. But, I've been doing a lot better than I was. Plus, I go for a good walk when it's not too cold. Who knows? I may be down to a size 10 or 12 soon.
Down another 2 lbs this week
220 pounds
When I was well, I used to walk 1 hour every day, did not change my diet at all, and I lost 30 pounds in one year. I need to feel stronger again to walk like that again (had a convulsion about 25 years ago and it destroyed my life and I have never been the same again). The most frustrating thing is that doctors can not provide any help at all. I had a doctor in the ER many years ago that said while I was totally dehydrated (needed 3 bags of water to even be able to lift my head up), he said to me: "I am an ER doctor, I do not treat patients like you', even the poor nurse looked at me like 'I am so sorry'. I wish I had been a smidgen better I would have sue the pants out of his legs. Oh, well, such is life.
:wave2: Have not stayed on a diet because of virus. I need to stop making excuses. Exercise is possible no mater.
:wazzup:I have been practicing the diet of “healthy eating” by finding healthy alternatives that need a little tweaking to replace the junk food with healthy food. Some things I have to order online, but it’s been worth the effort.
