About me: I whipped Laryngo Pharengal Reflux and Apnea by losing 20 pounds in 2010, which dropped me out of the "obese" range. Another 10 pounds came off in 2011, but then I stopped dieting and gained it all back. In 2019 my doctor told me lose 5 pounds in 3 months or she'd start me on diabetes medicine (Metformin). So I dropped 10 pounds right away. In 2020 I lost another 40, and now I've been maintaining that 50 pound loss for 2 years. Ideally I'd lose another 20 but I'm happy here.
