Twenty Pounds / Two Months

[JEBar]

congrats to those doing what's necessary to drop some serious weight ... I'm waging the same battle .... a few months ago I was at 305, yesterday that was down to 264 .... I'm following a high protein, low to no carb diet ....the weight came off quickly at first and while still on a downward trend, the weight loss has slowed considerably .... the motivation for my decision to lose weight is to have my right knee replaced and to replace my CPAP mask with an implant .... my hope is to have both rather quickly after we return from South Dakota in late August

My biggest issue with weight loss is neighbors. Coming home from the hospital yesterday I had women delivering sweets. I appreciate the thought but had to decline accepting them. My blood sugar level is usually between 100 and 120 with it sometimes dropping into the 60’s.

I’m on a low salt, low fat and unprocessed food diet. I’m 5’8” and 169 pounds. My goal is 164 which is on the high end of what a male my height should weigh.

I retired from the USCG in 95 at 5'8"weighing in a 155 pounds. Worked in the civilian world until 2020 when I retired, retired. Last summer I stepped on the scales and hit 190 pounds. Holy crap bat man the doc told me I had high cholesterol, and pre-hypertension. Well, bought a tread mill, changed my diet and purchased some light weights. Today I weigh 165 pounds cholesterol down with help of chemicals blood pressure down with help from chemicals. I went from a 38" waist to a 33" waist gave birth and no more belly. It was hard work bit worth it. Even though I have a riding mower on cool days I use a 19" push mower to mow my 3/4 hilly acres. There is no getting around it hard work is the only way to get it done. When I started, I could barely do 10 push-ups now I can do 40.
