My story

While I only have about 15lbs I'd like to lose, my reasons for doing this are more for health. Through miscarriages and pregnancies I was diagnosed with possible insulin resistance and then Hashimotos thyroiditis. Because of this, I did a lot of research and went on a similar diet years ago. While on it, I felt amazing and saw great results. I wish I had stuck with it. I went off of my thyroid medication a couple months ago in hopes of figuring out if some other health issues I was having were related. I was having heart palpitations, lightheadedness, anxiety like no other, tingling, etc. I had a chest X-ray, lots of blood work, and an ultrasound on my legs for evidence of a blood clot in the lungs. All came back fine, but it took a while for my issues to lessen..I still have some trouble. It really scared me. I realized that while I was putting healthy vegetables, fruit, meat on the table for my kids, I wasn't eating much of it myself. So, doing this with you all is yes, to lose weight, but more importantly to me, it is to get healthy for my family.

Starting weight 133.
I havent done my measurements.
