Bless your heart Phil, and please know that my prayers are with you. You've lost a good deal of weight since March.............. Bravo!
If I'm not poking my nose where it doesn't belong, could I ask what type of diet you're on? Or more importantly, what foods you are eating? I don't like using the word "diet" when losing weight. Depending on how it's used, it's a negative word and can result in ultimate "failure". But permanently changing your eating habits works.
There was a time, a little over ten years ago when I was REALLY overweight. I'm 5'1" and weighed over 190 pounds. Just by changing my eating habits, I was able to lose the excess weight,, I would say in a year, or a little more than a year. You don't want to lose weight too quickly, not good for your heart. Easy does it, slow and steady is best. But what I'm trying to say, I got down to where I am now, 120 lbs, and by continuing to eat healthy, I never regained that weight.
Another personal question............ Are you also exercising? And I don't mean strenuous exercise.......... Say, for example taking walks? That's important too.
Anyway my friend, please know that I am here for you should you need me.
