I’m Cheryl and I was diagnosed with lupus and other health problems in the 1990s. I was placed on steroids and medications. My weight continued to just balloon up. I’m not sure what my top weight was, I’m guessing it was around 225-230 lbs.
.
Three years ago I started to exercise and cut down on my carbs. I also did some fasting and cleansing. I lost weight but it was not stellar. I also got off of the steroids and all medication except Glucophage and Synthroid.
.
I think I probably only went from 225 lbs to 185 lbs in 3 long years. That’s only 40 pounds by losing about a pound a month.
.
I joined Kimkins on January 17, 2007 at 185 lbs and I reached 147 lbs on April 1st! I have so much energy and feel fantastic. I am off my glucophage now and am increasing my exercise. I’m now training to run a half marathon this summer!
.
This month I am going to take off an additional 20 lbs and be very strict with no cheats and lots of exercise. I will reach my goal weight in May. My goal now is 115 lbs which I never though possible before!
.
What I’ve learned is it doesn’t matter if you’re sick, have insulin resistance or take medication — you can still lose weight. The answer is in what you eat. I was only adding to my medical problems by what I was eating.

Thanks for developing this way of eating. I feel like a real person again. I know that the Lord led me here.
