Omg I love you and your attitude!Thank you for sharing your journey. When I found out I was type 2 diabetic I had to make some changes. Low carb is one of the things that works for me (I'm 45) because I'm not giving things up, and that has really helped my cravings and mindset on this journey. It's been a year and a half and I've lost almost 60lbs.

I am 53 and am on my own weight loss journey. I am following Noom. I’ve lost 17 pounds since end of April, had two vacations pretty close to one another, and went up a few pounds but back down pretty quickly. It’s hard! Especially when you are older, your metabolism slows down, maybe you’re in peri-menopause. Give yourself grace and focus on the healthier habits you are forming. That’s what I am telling myself everyday. I’m doing better than I was 4 months ago! And also, if you had not started, you wouldn’t be down the 20 lbs, right!!! You are doing great!! A busy, working Mom, just like me, trying to do your best everyday! That’s all that matters!! Thanks for sharing your journey- I know it is helping others❤

Hello Jen! I started watching you when you were doing keto, years ago, and I continue to watch you because you’re such a sweet person. I wanted to let you know that I did keto or low carb on and off for seven years. It ruined my metabolism. Maybe think about the Mediterranean diet, I’ve been doing it for two months and I went from 176 pounds to 146 pounds. I never thought I would be able to eat this way, but my doctor told me it’s the best diet in the world, it focuses more on vegetables, fruits, seafood, and chicken, less on red meat. Bonus still get pasta, crackers, tortilla chips and bread! I just count my calories while doing it. It’s definitely worth looking into.

Hi Jen! I love watching your channel. You’re so honest and relatable to the average person. I like you have 26:26 struggled with my way my entire adult life I have PCOS and type two diabetes I have recently been put on Mounjaro and it has been life-changing for me. I know you’re a nurse and you’ve probably done tons of research. I was super skeptical about medication but I must say it’s a game changer. My best friend had bariatric surgery, a gastric sleeve six years ago and put on over 75 pounds after she lost 110. She is now on Mounjaro since January and is down 55 pounds. Just thought I would throw it out there for you. I’m sure you’ve done some research, but hang in there we will overcome this!

As I was watching your weekend video yesterday, I thought how good you look. Whatever weight you have lost really shows. Don't get discouraged.💕 I am much older than you, and a cardio, bypass survivor. I have found low carb, along with watching calories helps me lose weight. It is still slow going, due to lack of exercise. I have started IF as well. 18:6. It is easy since I am also not a breakfast eater. It hardest to control the late night munchies. We will survive!😊

There are good substitutions for items that you cannot eat on low-carb. Tender radishes, for instance, are a great substitution for potatoes in soup and as a side dish. The texture is similar to potatoes when heated. This might be great content to share .....recipes with substitutions to stay on low-carb.

And I love LOVE carbs ugh! I’m going to try your Dijon mustard dressing that you made for your salad it sounds yummy .
