@trelig132, I've had problems with weight since leaving the military in 1966. I was 6'2" and weighed about 215 lbs. Over the years I blossomed to about 330 lbs before I decided I had to do something. Weight Watchers helped some to give me incentive and I was able to get down to around 250 lbs and decided I could do it on my own. That was in 2002 and after leaving Weight Watchers I went back and forth between 250 and 265 mostly due to unhealthy eating.

In 2016, I was diagnosed with small fiber peripheral neuropathy which I have had for 20+ years but never bothered to get it diagnosed because I only had numbness in the feet and no pain. I also had been struggling with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and this caused me to look into eating healthier. I found a book by Dr. Terry Wahls - The Wahls Protocol, that got me started into changing my eating habits and lifestyle. Still I struggled with the weight but I was able to keep it between 245 and 255. Then I ran across a post by @LeeAase about his health journey. The topic was alternate fasting. Funny that my wife was already doing a time based fasting program 16 hours with no eating then an 8 hour window.

In Feb 2020 I weighed 242. Then I started the alternate fasting with a 24 hour fast and then did a 16/8 fast every other day and found that it really helped with the weight loss in a good way. The past month I've switched to mostly doing a 20 fast with 4 hour eating window and every 3 or 4 days I'll switch to a 16/8 or a 18/6 fast. What made this easy to do was a free app for my phone called Zero that I learned about through Lee's - My Health Journey blog here:
https://social-media-university-global.org/my-health-journey/. He has a wealth of health information and tips in his blog.

Happy to say I'm now at 226 with a goal of 215 which I may change once I reach that weight. Another key for me is to exercise daily which I do mostly on an elliptical exercise bike. Good luck on your weight journey!
