Less 55 pounds during Covid and have kept it off. Went off it for a couple months during the Holidays, gained 15 pounds, am back on and that 15 is starting to come off.

All health numbers have improved. 50 years old, bp is perfect, cholesterol is normal. I have a resting heart rate in the 50s. Really is healthy for me.
