I just decided enough is enough. I am so obese… I have no excuse for the weight gain. I have struggled for about 10 years trying to lose weight. My whole body hurts, irregular menstrual cycle, inflammation, sick constantly, high BP, pre-diabetic and so much more. I juice fasted 10 years ago when the documentary FAT, SICK, and NEARLY DEAD was popular. I lost 30 lbs in a month! I’ve considered juice fasting again, but I want to complete a 1-2 week(or longer) water fast for the autophagy benefits. Then I plan to juice fast with rolling water fasts.
It would REALLY motivate me if anyone could share weightloss and autophagy results. Thank you so much 😀
I started this last time at 343 but i have been at 374.

I use Extreme Wraps instead (lots of fiber) No snacking on snack foods like chips, pretzelsIntermittent Fasting.(Most days 1 meal, occasionally 2.

A1c went from 6 to 5.0Blood pressure 140’s down to normal.My fear was losing a limb to diabetes at some point.
Once I learned about how insulin effects weight it really clicked in my head.
Wife and son also doing this. We shed 160 lbs so far as a family
NSV. Go carts with my son, clothes fit better. 16 inches off my waist so far. I passed the Waffle House test. Meaning I can fit in a Waffle House booth. Zip lining. A whole new world of things opens with your kids once you lose weight. Had to fly for work. No seatbelt extender. That is always a source of fear for me, having to ask the flight attendant for one. Things between my wife and I are much better if you know what I mean. No more powder on the thighs before walking. Not being the fattest person in the room is fantastic. I can finally fit in the t shirts that we purchased on vacations that I knew wouldn’t fit me but didn’t want to tell anyone. I no longer need to buy my pants at DXL.
Still want to get off 55lbs or so.
