I did it by not eating. Pancreatitis can make eating not worth the pain and nausea. I’ve managed to keep it off, thank goodness, by not eating 3 meals a day. 2 seems like enough.

My knees appreciate it.

We're supposed to eat when we feel like eating.
Sometimes I eat 1 meal A-day, sometimes I feel like having 3.

I have to Google exactly what pancreatitis is.

I hope it's curable, and you're feeling better

Healthy and happy. You're winning.

long time vegetarian, but you can eat an unhealthy veggie diet....easily...). Eating much more natural foods, and cut WAY back on alcohol due to Afib. Not sure I would have otherwise. But yeah, the weight comes off pretty effortlessly...

We keep getting these people telling us oh you've got to do this and you'll lose weight or do this special plan and you'll lose weight

And at the end of the day if you just eat fruits and vegetables and drink water and eat when you feel like it
You can lose tons of weight, Without trying.

Or without even exercising and I'm a group fitness instructor. Before the pandemic I was teaching about 10 classes a week. I was not losing weight I was lucky to maintain where I was

I am totally on board with your methods. Like you said, it’s dang near impossible to cut out all the additives and chemicals in our food supply. What you are doing makes a ton of sense. You look wonderful!

In addition to weight gain, I really believe additives such as hormones in meat cause cancer. I think that’s how I got breast cancer 15 years ago. (Thankfully, all cured, minus a breast)

Eating mostly fruits, vegetables, and drinking water is the way to go! It’s hard at first but after a while you don’t want that crappy junk food any more. I eat very little meat now. We certainly don’t need meat 3x a day! Lol. Oreos have always been my downfall too.

Keep up the good work!

Yeah my weakness is golden oreos, I've had to stay away from them for a few decades
I'm ashamed to admit, a package of Golden oreos does not live very long next to me.🤣

And so true, most people would call how we eat a restrictive diet. However when you understand why you're doing it and it's for your health not necessarily for weight loss. It's not restrictive at all it's extremely freeing.

I have a closet full of evening dresses that I can finally fit again. I had outgrown them but I couldn't let them go because when I bought them I loved the dresses.

And now I have all these beautiful gowns some of them still with the tags on that I bought thinking I'll lose weight and get into this dress this will be my motivation.

Now my motivation is just, I am curious to know where my body will reset to, as I stay on this path.

I’m better off not even bringing them into the house

Goodbye clean living 🤣🤣🤣

My bad!!

It's OK you couldn't have known lemon is my weakness at 1

Also I'm just kidding I found some healthy lemon cookies from mom's market that I really enjoy.

And I firmly believe that if you're going to eat cookies. You really should only eat cookies that you made.

You know put some work into it if you're going to eat junk food lol

Well done, and what a smart approach you’ve taken. I only eat plant based foods, but need to do a better job of limiting/removing the processed foods 🙂

I'm very fortunate I have a mom's market in my neighborhood.

And even in shopping at a 100% organic store there's probably only 10 items that I would put on my regular menu as edible. Is not counting all the fresh fruits and vegetables of course.

I'm talking about the food that's in packages.

I'm happy that I have been able to find some crackers they aren't filled with a bunch of foreign substances and they actually taste good

And I found some lemon cookies that they share they're made with all natural ingredients so when I want junk food I can have it.

Keep me posted on if you notice any major changes when your changes when you endeavor to cut out unnecessary artificial food additives from your diet. I would like to know how this works for other people.

Ive struggled with my weight especially the past few years with COVID. Why, well I wasn't going to be one of these people with no regard for others health and go to the gym. So i would just go on walks with my dog, but even then, people would still be in public with no masks on so I had to go to places that didn't have others around. In January 2021 I got COVID and was hospitalized for 3 weeks, Thank goodness I was vaccinated because i probably would have died. But I have been recently diagnosed with Long Covid so I have like no energy. Im tired all the time and so its just hard. I feel better about being in public now as long as I have a good N95 mask, but im still very uncomfortable about going to the gym with my boy friend. Any way this has inspired me to restart my journey

And if there's anything I can do to help I'm happy to do that as well.

I ended up getting sick during the pandemic not with covid cowhat's covid, but being severely anemic I ended up fainting several times in my house because this is TMII had 3 monthly cycles in a 30 day

A-day before a 3rd period started, I became very faint in my house and was just repeatedly fainting had to go to the ER get a blood transfusion of course really freaked out about being in the hospital during covid without this was right before the vaccine came out.

And then I ended up meeting a surgery to solve the issue and then recovering from all of that I got up to 218 pounds. And I was formally a fitness instructor who wasn't no longer teaching classes and had no energy to teach anything or anyone.

I will say this though the weight that I have lost has just been from changing my food, I haven't actually started working out like I used to.

I did recently get a yoga contract where I'm teaching yoga 4 days a week now. But it's at a luxury hotel so it's hit-or-miss if people show up and I actually teach.

I am beginning to ride my bike more and going swimming so I know my energy levels have been improving

I used to wake up eat and literally go right back to sleep the joys of being anemic and out of work


I sincerely mean it keep me posted on your journey OK

Sending Love and Health to you

by the goverment of the microwave industry. Believe me every thing was true and well documented You can not even find the book anymore.

Human consumption, in moderation.

wow it's amazing
it's really hard work to loss weight easyly,
everybody thinking about how to loss weight in a good and easy way
but i think Abstinence is a good way to loss weight easyly

you got this

I lost 60 pounds back in 2006- 2007 with Weight Watchers,and for the most part have kept it off

Maybe 8 years ago I stopped keeping track and slowly picked up 20 pounds. Then my daughter set her wedding date so I went back to meetings and took it off in 6 months.

During Covid, I managed to drop more, then here I am, 18 months later with an extra 12 pounds. So back I went to WW & I'm 5 pounds down 1 month later. No wine and less eating out helped too

WW is so easy now - there is a long long list of zero point food and some of them are quite surprising. I have found it quite easy to have days with maybe only 2 or 3 points.

Like you I went to mostly whole fresh food. I do use my microwave for: steel cut oatmeal, popcorn (normal old fashioned kernels in my fabulous silicone popper)the occasional frozen vegetable and reheating my own home made leftovers.

Eating this way made me realize why folks with low incomes can't lose weight - eating like this is more expensive and takes time and planning. Folks working long hours at low paying jobs do not have the time or money to do these things, so they eat a lot of fast food, high fat & high carb foods. Also, many live in food deserts where convenient stores are the only option and fresh food is more expensive; it is unfortunate especially since they are going to be more likely to suffer from diabetes, heart issues, joint issues from that weight.

Again, congratulations!
