Hi @maryroset1 I have lost 32 kgs in the past 11 months without exercise. I put on 7 kgs with treatment and was a big girl to begin with. I love sweets and snacks. In then end my arthritis was just too bad and I had to do something. I tried the anti inflammatory diet. Just fresh fruit and veggies, meat; no bread, pasta or rice and nothing processed. It was sensible old fashioned meals, stir fries, omelettes (without cheese), chicken and vegetable soup, cooked salmon, baked dinners (without potatoes). I love chocolate so I switched to Lindt dark choc and had a square or 2 a day which helped controlled the cravings. For the first two months I weighed everything I ate and counted calories. I aimed for 1200 calories a day but ended up getting down to 1000 calories a day which some say is too low but I never felt hungry. After the first two months I was in the habit of eating smaller meals and eating better food so I haven't needed to count calories since, although if I do have something bad then I will cut down on something else that day. I have had to buy a whole new wardrobe which is great. Good luck with it.
Hey @Hopes_and_Dreams I will also be in Japan at the end of September! Hubby and I are having a very big holiday after the past 2 years of treatment. I don't think I could have done this if I hadn't lost the weight. I hope you have a great time.
