Well after being on FatSecret since May 2014 I decided to try to write a bio. I am 62 years old and 5'8". I began here at 206 pounds and was determined to lose weight. I was never overweight growing up or most of my adult life. I was very active and didn't watch what I ate. I showed and trained dogs and did a lot of traveling. When injuries to my foot, knee and back finally caught up with me I still ate like I did when I was very active. So gained weight. Finally in May 2014 I made the decision I wasn't doing my joints any favors being overweight. I looked at a lot of diets and decided on Atkins or LCHF. It was a perfect fit since my husband is a diabetic. I knew that I could eat this way for the rest of my life. Now I am 139 pounds and feel great. After reaching my goal I still log food and make myself accountable for what I eat. My blood work is great and my husbands A1C is much lower. Wish I would have found this way of eating years ago.

I do wish everyone good luck on the journey of losing weight and healthy eating.
