As a young woman, for the most part, weight loss for me was either fasting 3 days a week or eating only one meal a day. I maintained 140 to 150 "solid" pounds (I used to walk from Brooklyn to Manhattan now and then in those days). Middle age, in my forties I began carrying a "Fibroid" which I decided to outlive instead of cut out. The only problem was I constantly held more and more fluid. I could knock a lot of weight off by doing something like a cabbage soup diet; however, I would put it back on when I started regular eating (sometimes that was before I was back from vacation).

My weight between 40 years old to menopause at 55 years soared from 150 to 200 pounds. I am solid, so I carried it well until my stomach dropped. I was like, "What in the world is going on with me". I looked online and found out it was called "Mother's Apron." I probably got this from my love for carbohydrates. Neither my mother, nor my grandmother had a drooped belly. My mother loved to Mall shop, and my grandmother loved gardening. By menopause at 55, I was so fat and tired, I just wanted to be live so I could help them, (for real). The Lord bless me to help them both, grandmother to 100, and Mom to 90. By the time I was 67 years of age I was now eating only 2 meals a day and still gaining weight. I weight in my doctor's appointment that year at about 158 pounds.

Long story short this is what I take for weight since November 2022:

Inositol two 500mg capsules
20mg Vanadium
500 mcg Chromium Picolinate
and also Super Digestive Enzymes for the big meal.

I eat breakfast and an early dinner. I have lost 18 pounds. I have also got back to doing a little walking with the help of COq10. "At the age 71, I am getting back in shape, girls! " I'm running for the Lord! Well, that's how the weight finally started coming off.
