I live alone in the woods with my dogs. I’m 5’6” (1.7m) and I have been overweight for 30 years. I have only really tried at weight loss one other time in my life. That was almost 20 years ago. This journey started February 1, 2025. I am eating high protein and no sugar in an effort to reverse pre-diabetes and heal inflammatory responses in my body. I am also exploring intermittent fasting.
