In October 2021 I weighed 115kg (253 pounds) - I now weigh 75kg (165 pounds) but my BMI is still 27. This all started because I was told I would need a hip replacement - it occurred to me very soon after I got that news, that weighing a lot less would make my life MUCH more comfortable.

So, ever since, 1200 calories a day, NO sugar, NO alcohol, NO drugs! It works beautifully.
