So glad you mentioned the thyroid testing – too many do not realize that the “standard” test is a useless test!

You look amazing. I have struggled with my weight all my life and have loss and gained over the years. I turned 65 in October and decided that 2015 was going to be different. I had moved from Iowa to Washington State in May 2014. The Cardiologist that I started to see in Olympia, Dr. Bill Gavin had written a book titled “The Tree-Rule Diet No White at Night”. I purchased a copy and stared following it and then I watched a program on PBS with Dr. William Davis who happens to be a Cardiologist as well. He has written a book title “Lose the wheat Lose the weight”. I have been eating gluten free since January 1st and have lost 11 pounds so far. The one thing that I noticed by not eating wheat is that I have no cravings or get hungry between meals. I have also notices a change in my skin for the better. Another change is that my arms and legs have stopped hurting and I quit taking my muscle relaxers and nerve medicine for my Spinal Stenosis. I sleep better at night and am full of energy.

So awesome! I lost about 30 pounds last year and I put off buying any new clothes because I still had a ways to go. We just found out in October that we’re expecting and when I switched to maternity pants it was AMAZING how different I felt just having pants that fit and weren’t baggy and worn out in all the most unflattering places. It’s funny that it took my belling growing to make me feel really good about all the weight lost! These are wonderful tips, thank you!!

Angel, having known you for several decades now, I’m so happy for you and proud of you for taking on the weight loss battle and winning it! You look terrific. But, what your pictures don’t show is the sweet and beautiful woman you’ve always been inside. Now your exterior matches your interior.
Thanks for sharing your lessons.
Love, Jeri

Dayyyyyyyum girl! You look god!
Congratulations, that is some very hard work. It took me about a year and a half to lose 25 pounds and I know the work it takes. Funny how people will ask my secret, many times I feel the need to lie and credit some detox or diet pill, cause telling them that I stopped shoving food in my mouth, limit calories and choose healthier options, incorporating activities that involve movement and exercise are never popular responses.
Keep it up, you can do this!

You look amazing!!! Congratulation on making this decision for your self.
I can not say enough good things about the Paleo way of life. ( and I think of it as a way of life. NOT a D.I.E.T. ) My hubby of 46 years is a type 2 diabetic. Now, he was fairly good at controlling his eating and blood sugar or should I say I WAS fairly good at watching him and trying to control what he ate. (Everybody knows that doesn’t really work) but no matter what we did his blood sugar in the am was always over 150, and that is bad. The rest of the day it was normal but not that first one in the morning. His doctor said she could not give him higher levels of meds because than the rest of the day his blood sugar would be too low.

About 4 months ago we decided we would do something about our weight and hopefully his diabetic

My hubby and I where both about 40-50 pounds over weight. .So we talked with our doctor about Paleo, she loved the idea and said she believed it a good way for any adult to eat.

So we decided to change our lives. and let me tell you it HAS. My hubby in a little less than 4 months has not only lost 37 pounds but his am blood sugar is normal!! Never over 100. He says he feels 15 years younger, and most important he is never hungry any more. I have lost 35 pounds and feel fantastic. I am over 64 and female and lost 35 pounds in almost 4 months that is almost unheard of. We are very active ( was active even with the extra weight) but now we are not as tired and are looking for more things to do.
I really believe this is a way of life that we can live with for the remainder of our lives. 2 of our sons are slightly over weight (they both just turned 40) and they are so impressed with us that they also have decided to do a Paleo life style.

I am so happy for you that you have gain this control in your life and I wish you all the best in the New Year.

Sincerely
Angela
