I have several autoimmune diagnoses, rheumatoid arthritis, Graves, Addisons, etc. probably started due to polio. Because of the 25 years on steroids I also now have Cushings. Cushings causes extreme weight gain in belly, face, around the collarbone, and at the top of the back. I went from 135 to 166.6 and couldn't lose weight, continued to gain, with under 1000 kC per day. I am 76 and disabled so exercise is quite light. With post polio, if I exercise too much, it can damage the nerves and lose ground. Since Jun 1, 2022 I have been determined to lose. I have lost 20 pounds so far, and want to get back to 135. 10 more to go. The only way I can is 600 to 800 kC per day.
