I don't know why I can't seem to stick to any plan at present. I reached goal (128), got to enjoy it for 3 months and then got put on cortisone for life which makes one gain weight. I gained 20-25. doesn't sound like much but I've been trying to get it off for 2 years. I was successful on South Beach for a year or so when I got to goal, now I want more healthy carbs/low fat. Maybe I should tweak my own thing. I weighed in at the doc today at 155. That about killed me. OY!
iggy: Here's before, after, and now.
240 LBS
135 LBS
CURRENT - bouncing 145-150
You can see I have issues with loose skin on my upper thighs and my stomach skin hangs over the bathing suit. I did a lot of exercise, but I guess loose skin is genetics and maybe loosing over 100 lbs at over 40 years of age. I haven't exercised much in the last 2 years. I'm depressed over not sticking to any way of eating. Sometimes I can't eat (gut paralysis) but meds help with that. I never know what I can tolerate except low fat. I feel I'm at a point of whining now instead of being determined. I don't want the cortisone to win out, ya know?
