I found out i was deficient when i went for weight loss surgery. Probably from not enough sun. Ended up not getting the surgery (2 years ago) because they said prior head injury excluded me.
Down to 300 from 433. Dont know how i let myself get so high!.
250 next target. 47 and not getting younger.
Take vitamin D regularly.
Good luck. Some current medical research is looking at the role of gut microbes in determining body mass. It appears that intestinal flora plays a major role in obesity- the wrong microbes and you’ll be gaining weight, the right sort and you won’t have to worry about obesity. I don’t know how close anyone is to identifying which is which at this point but this could be a great help for you.

Great for you! Prayers you easily meet your next goal!
Sounds like, in a sense, you are getting younger!
Good for you! That is impressive.
Congrats! You must feel like a new person.
If you take enough D as D3 or as sunshine you won’t get flu or colds. I take D3 supplements through the winter when the sun is at a less effective angle and I have my skin all covered up when outdoors. I have not had a flu shot since 1966 and have had no virus malady of any sort since I started with the D3 9 years ago. All of my family take the D3. None of us get the shots. None of us gets flu or colds, even when it is laying out half the kids in the school where wife is a teacher. I have anecdotal observations that it has seemed to be effective in one case against a nastier virus than flu.
