I've always had somewhat of a problem with my weight, but in 2007 I suffered a severe head injury and since then my activity level has become pretty much non-existent, making weight-loss even more difficult. Add to that, two autoimmune thyroid diseases and the weight piles on really fast. At my highest, I was at 310 pounds, but was able to lose 80 lbs for a surgery, which I gained some of it back.

I am not following any particular named diet, just eating foods that are better for my liver and better carb choices.

Oh, and if you are wondering about my avatar and screen name...we feed and take care of the feral cat population in our community (get them spayed and neutered). Right now, we have 2 sets of kittens. One mama brought hers by last night for a visit.
