162 – 127 in under a year!

About 90 days after beginning my PD journey it was time for another round of blood tests. By this time I’d lost another 30 lbs. or so, and I was not taking BP meds. My total cholesterol had dropped to 132, and I was no longer “pre-diabetic.” The nurse had taken my blood pressure (it… Read more or comment “Results are typical on a Protective Diet”

I finally got my little jars and was able to make my first batch of this awesome toothpaste a week ago. I’m so glad I took a before picture. This is only one week. I can’t wait to see what it will look like after six months! Also, my teeth feel so clean and smooth!… Read more or comment “Super natural whitening toothpaste”

Eight months into my PD journey and today I hit the 30 lbs gone mark! I never imagined I would see the 150’s again (haven’t been this weight since high school).

I toasted it tonight and was so excited until I bit into it. Oh my gosh! It is so, so, sweet! I told… Read more or comment “Sheree B.”

When I was 379 pounds, I never even considered exercising let alone buying a propelled kayak. But my kayak is on layaway and I am so excited for spring 2019 to get out on our beautiful lakes in North Idaho. I’ll be paddling and rowing, taking in the scenery from a whole different perspective. Another… Read more or comment “February will be four years on Protective Diet!”

I am so excited about the changes I’ve seen on PD. I was at my dermatologist this morning for a skin check. I have actinic keratoses (precancerous skin lesions) that have to be frozen every few years. My last visit two years ago resulted in freezing over 30 lesions on my face, forearms and hands.… Read more or comment “Amazing Results”
