I am 54 years old. I have 3 kids and gained weight with each pregnancy and more. I was up to 245 pounds and had success with the low carb/high protein diet. I was down to around 190 pounds when I got hit by a car. I was walking up a flight of stairs and a man mistakenly drove his car down the stairs and hit me. I have not been able to work since then, nor have I been able to walk very far without a cane or walker. That was 6 1/2 years ago and I found myself at 245 pounds again. After my youngest went off to college last year, I lost 10 pounds by making foods more to my liking than hers. Recently I found out that I have colitis and can no longer tolerate milk products. This includes anything made with milk products also, such as bread, crackers, salad dressings, etc. This has jump started me into really watching what I eat and trying to lose more weight. It has taken me 7 months to gradually work up to 30 minutes on a stationary bike. That is the most aerobic exercise I can do due to my physical limitations. I do physical therapy several times a week. I list it as Pilates in the exercise journal as I think that is the closest thing listed that equates to my PT. Being so sedentary makes it quite difficult to lose weight. But I am determined. My oldest daughter will be married next June, and I don't want to have to wear a "tent" to the wedding. Wish me luck!!1
