Allen Brooks - 60 yrs old today (09/14/22) = 174 pounds...
Off and on over the last few years I have been very sick and after allot of tests, I finally found out that I had non-alcoholic liver disease. The bad news is, it almost killed me. At one point I was in so much pain that I was begging God to bring me home and even made all of my funeral arrangements at that time. The good news is, the tests revealed that it was not too late for my liver to repair itself but I had to make a choice - Life or Death. I Chose Life! So I started making major changes while educating myself about food, diet and ingredients. (In March of 2022 I weighed 220 pounds and by September of 2022 I was down to 174 pounds.) Losing weight is not easy but it's not that hard to do if you really want it! It's all about knowledge and a little sacrifice. The payoff is worth it!
