[quote=Anonymous]Yes! Thanks for this. I have about 80 lbs to lose- end goal, but I am breaking it up to make it more doable.
Was overweight before pregnancies. Lost most after baby#1, then with baby#2 I lost weight during pregnancy but gained so much afterwards...
Last October I realized (or had confirmation) that my a1c was at the insulin resistant level and that was a HUGE wake up call.
I started low carb high fat diet, and there were great weeks and poor weeks. My main challenges was to go back once I stepped away from LCHF eating. Move a few months forward I found an endocrinologist who really understands of hormone imbalance and she has been treating me and helping me with this new lifestyle! I am doing an IF protocol and eating low carb/keto but not crazy high in fat. I have been on this journey for 3-4 months and lost 20 lbs total. Still having great weeks and some poor days, but the balance is positive. And going back to the low carbon path has been easier now, if and when I fall off and make poor choices. My new mantra has been: just come back! I am making it a life style and accepting that I can not expect perfection. Trying to incorporate exercise this month of July, starting slowly! IF is changing my life, it controlled my hunger and I thought I was destined to always be hungry and be controlled by cravings! 
I read the Diabetes Code and that was also a wake up call to get my A1C under control. That book explained a lot of my hunger and cravings and pains here and there. I am young (early 40s) and want to live a long life to e joy my kids and family!
Love this thread idea and will plan to come back weekly to check in. Will call myself "Linda". ☺️[/quote]
