In 2018, I lost 15 pounds in 2 months in order to qualify to donate my kidney to my Dad. I was able to maintain that weight loss for a while, and then the coronavirus reared it's ugly head and I, like everyone I know, have put back that 15 and more.

When I'm at my goal weight (which is NOTHING like the medical profession says it should be - but HELLO, I'm 57 years old and those goals are absurd,) I feel more energetic and my arthritus/bursitis aches and pains all disappear.

I am determined to shed 20 pounds over the course of this summer, coronovirus be damned.
