I am 56 years old and started my journey to get in better health on Jan 2016. I had a complete hysterectomy at the age of 32 and over the years have gradually gained weight. I got at my heaviest of 203lbs and wearing a size 16 and everyday hated myself being fat. I started doing Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy 2 years ago in hopes it would help me lose weight but although it changed my life in other areas not so much with my weight. A friend told me about her loss doing the HCG and after doing lots of research and seeing the success with so many people I started the diet in Jan 2016 and my first round I lost 27lbs. I reached a stall and started to do some research and learned about carbs, fats and sugar and got a home blood glucose monitor and found that I was insulin resistant. I then went to no sugars (artificial, fruits) and began to see a difference in my weight loss. As of today I am down 40lbs. and have been able to maintain my loss. I know that any diet is not a one size fits all and I am thankful what I have learned about my own body and continue to try and learn something new everyday...
