I've been knowing about this for a while but I unintentionally been intermittent dry fasting since last saturday ,found that my energy levels have jumped up quite a bit ,don't stay lathargic hours at a time after eating a meal like I usually do. Could be more active though.

Probably good; I exercise often, go on daily 4-5 km walks, on weekends might do 10 km walks...

Keep your mental health in a good state as well as both seem to affect the other.

It's not very good. My blood sugar and blood pressure are higher than I would like. I did a blood test today, so hopefully the results will be that they have gone down. I'm also heavier than I would like; I'm about 200 lbs.

@comp_atkins: O_o. You’re going to live forever.

I’m 43 soon and I feel like I’ve always felt all my life.

Probably the best it has ever been.

Keep adding new weights, going for longer runs. Chronic dieases gone.

Never been better.

Lost a few hundred pounds (I was quite large before, to put it bluntly) and I'm sitting around 13% body fat. Hypertension is gone, sleep apnea is gone, I feel better, walking practically feels like I'm gliding, my joints don't hurt, I'm not exhausted after a day at work (to be fair, my job is physical), people treat me better socially....hell, I think a woman flirted with me the other day.

Next step is to start hitting the weights and building back a lot of muscle I lost in my weight loss routine.

It feels good saying that as an adult. Waking up every day and being able to say "Today is the oldest I've been, and I am healthier now than I was 10 years ago".

Going into my 40's in the best health of my life (well, second best...I was a beast in high school haha) and it really makes me sort of look forward to the next *fingers crossed* 40 or more years.

@mrbojangles25: That's an insane weight drop. Congrats! I think if you've been fit in the past, it's going to be really easy to get your muscle back.

Me, I've been smoking like a chimney lately and eating poorly, so it should be terrible. I think the two have cancelled each other out, though, as I still appear to be in good shape. No illnesses or anything to speak of either, so yeah, doing good.

OK I guess, but I gained some weight around my waste a year ago when I was recovering from an injury and it won't go back, I'm 5'6-139 now. Not that I'm trying too hard, though. I now make my coffee with 1 teaspoon of sugar instead of 2 and that's about it lol. Still commuting on bicycle about 8-9km daily.

I'm overall in pretty good health. normal blood pressure, low resting heart rate, unfortunately a bit overweight right now (about 22% body fat).

My doctor just told me all my blood work came back normal, but my bad cholesterol is "slightly elevated". He advised cutting down on red meat and butter.

I asked if maybe I should stop drinking 3 cases of beer, and eating 2 entire bags of Jalapeno flavored Cheetos on the weekends instead, and he agreed that also could be a good first step.

Very poor.

I have a benign tumor in my chest sitting right on my main nerve branch to my left arm and surrounding my subclavian. I went through chemotherapy treatments from ages 20 to 37. I’m on chronic narcotics and spend most of my time in bed. I suffered at stroke at 44 from radiation damage to my jugular artery during my early treatment years in my early-mid twenties. Luckily it wasn’t cognitively impairing, but I did have to learn to walk and coordinate my body again over about a six month period, and it’s left me very fatigued.

I’m not a shut-in and do manage to get out every day for a few hours to do the necessities, but even a few hours of activity is exhausting, and my life is very much based around the realities of my disease. Some days are better than others. I am not working and live on disability, and my social life is nonexistent aside from the connections I make online.

I’d like to have my health, but I’m blessed in many other ways. I’m thankful every day I am relatively pain free and that I’m not in the hell of treatment.

Tumor was the size of a softball at diagnosis, in the head would not have been survivable.
