Gwynne and others.....
I read your posts with great interest. I guess I was led to them. Back in 2012 I had bariatric surgery (gasric sleeve) for a lifetime weight issue. I lost 80 pounds. But if you don't change the way you eat, the surgery ends up as an exercise in futility. I low carbed my way through years of maintaining my weight loss. Then came 2020. 'Nuff said.....

I'm struggling now to get back to where I was after falling off the wagon big time. I haven't stepped on the scale, but my clothes tell me it's probably 20-25 pounds. I'm up a size and threatening to go up yet another. LC is the way for me. Low cal/low fat never worked. I am struggling to get back into the correct mindset and to lose all the bad habits I picked up during the last year. And now I'm 70 years old and it ain't easy! My body is playing around with some autoimmunite stuff on top of it.

I just wanted you to know that your words encourage me. Thank you! I'll be struggling to get back on track along with you!
