- I’ve lost around 80 pounds since April 2024.
It’s been a different journey for me.
Found out November 2024 that I have Alpha Gal Syndrome (from Lone Star Tick bite)
Allergic to all mammals, dairy, xanthan gum carrageenan.
So I eat birds, fish, fruits and vegetables.
I bake my own snacks because sugar is whitened with bone char so I have to use organic or vegan sugar. Plus so much more.
It’s been a challenge but I’m figuring it out.
**Picture is me at my largest 225.4 April 2024
August 2025 was 159
Now 147.6
Goal is to get down to 135-139 so I’m almost there but it’s getting harder to lose. So my new years goals are:
1. Gym 2 times a week.
2. Pickleball 2 times a week.
3. Learn Spanish
4. Read entire bible this year.
5. Don’t sweat the small things, be happy.
I can do this!!!
Good luck to everyone.
