40 and scared

Hi Dr Berg I started my journey at the beginning on 2020 just before the pandemic hit. I had just turned 40 and was the heaviest I have ever been in my life. At 5’2” I weighed 185lbs. I felt tired and depressed, I hated taking pictures and avoided social situations. At the suggestion of my brother I started looking into a healthier way of living and found your YouTube videos and my mindset and life changed. I started intermittent fasting and followed your advice on nutrition. I also added exercise to my weekly routine and I now weigh 137lbs and dropped from a size 12 to a 4. I had foot pain, leg pain, high blood pressure and psoriasis. My blood pressure is now under control, my skin has improved and no more foot and leg pain. It was hard for me as carbs are my Achilles heel, but when the weight started coming off It motivated me to stick to it and now there is no going back EVER! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
