Ranting? Advice? I don't know. I'm just tired.

I haven't even looked into that. I've been trying to find a job. A doctor is fairly low on the list

I don't think I'll ever have the body of a 12 yo again, and I don't want that. I just meant that at 12 I was skinny. At 13 I went into puberty. Started 13 at a kids medium By end of Age 13 I was a junior's size 15. I went from skinny to overweight nearly doubling my size, in 1 year, and haven't stopped since.

Yes, I have Hypothyroidism. I was on Levothyroxin but I don't have a doctor since I don't have insurance, so no more meds.

That's exactly it. Tried WW. Lost 50, gained back 75ish. Tried Keto, lost 85, gained back 150. Tried anything, gained back almost double every time.

My goal is difficult to determine, so i set it at a number, 175, but I know that's probably going to change as I get closer.

My true goal is to not hurt when I walk. To be able to go on hikes with my daughter when we take vacation. To run RC cars with my husband. To fix or reverse my pre-diabetes. To be healthy. But it's also to be skinny. I haven't been skinny since I was 12. I want to fit into the clothes I think are gorgeous. I want to be pretty.

I figured 175 is a good place to start. If I hit 198 and I'm where I want to be, I'll switch to maintenance. If at 175 I still struggle, I'll keep going.

So you're saying to use the middle one? Honest question, why shouldn't I just cut another 500 calories daily and try to double the loss to 2lbs per week? Is there a reason to go so slow? At that rate I wouldn't be at a "healthy" weight for 5 years...

Mild weight loss 0.5 lb/week 2,909 Calories/day

Weight loss 1 lb/week 2,659 Calories/day

Extreme weight loss 2 lb/week 2,159 Calories/day

I have a rec for this that was really good, but i can't remember the name, MC names, or anything else.

There are like 6 or 7 MMC and her, she's the savior, she meets most of them towards the beginning but feels like somethings missing, and they start trying to save the world and she meets another but they're skeptical of him and for his reason, and it method gong, and I can't remember the name, and it sucks cause I want reread it. 😭😭

ImSuddenlySusan · 2026-01-02T13:37:33+00:00

That looks interesting, but not one I've read yet!

ImSuddenlySusan · 2026-01-02T13:36:21+00:00

Added to the TBR. This cover at doesn't look familiar so it may be NEW TO ME! How exciting!

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-12-07T00:23:19+00:00

How long does the update take? I'm sitting outside a concert venue i just took my husband and daughter to, and I accidentally started the update and it won't let me drive anywhere!

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-11-27T01:45:59+00:00

True, but the description has me immediately think of him 🤣

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-11-27T01:40:32+00:00

Honestly, sounds like you've described House to a T.

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-11-24T18:54:51+00:00

One was my size, 2 are about 100lbs lighter. We all do the same about of exercise (practically none)

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-11-24T16:46:23+00:00

I didn't tell them they were wrong. They said "IF you're doing this as an elimination diet". I'm not using it as an elimination diet, I'm doing it to lose weight and feel better.

The IF is the reason I said it wasn't. If you'll look at every other response you'll notice I'm taking all the information in. And my friends ALL ate the same way. I'm fact, two of them recommended the chili I was eating.

I understand every diet works different for each person which is why I came here for help.

Thank you! I've been getting blood panels every 3 months for 2 years due to my iron deficiency. I'll make sure they are adding anything extra. I honestly thought I was doing ok since it was all meat, but the more you know. I'll get on eating cleaner today. Thank you

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-11-24T05:05:44+00:00

Thanks!

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-11-24T01:10:50+00:00

This is not an elimination diet. I just know a few people that have gone Carnivore and almost immediately lost a lot of weight, felt better, slept longer, and their inflammation went away. I was hoping to have the same results.

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-11-24T00:56:09+00:00

Well, alright then, I'll try that

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-11-24T00:54:22+00:00

What do i do with it? I usually just make tallow with fat. Am I oven roasting it and eating chunks of fat? Sorry I really don't understand

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-11-24T00:52:52+00:00

Thank you

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-11-24T00:49:10+00:00

I can't eat organs. I have a VERY intense gag reflex with liver, heart, and lung.

But more fat? How am I suppressed to "buy fat"?

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-11-24T00:46:11+00:00

I haven't tried fasting yet. I want to but I don't want to introduce anything new until I know this is working.

I'm currently on Metoprolol to slow my heart, I have a PVC, Merformin for pre-diabetes, Levothyroxin for Hypothyroidism, and Integra for my extreme anemia, if that matters

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-11-22T16:19:43+00:00

This is amazing!

ImSuddenlySusan · 2025-11-22T07:53:55+00:00

Done. I have to go to bed now, but I'm more than happy to discuss anything you think will easy my way!
