    Walking twice a day currently. I am too heavy to start running again yet, so a 2.5-mile walk first thing in the morning and another 2.5 miles while my daughter is at soccer practice. Baby-steps...

    47 here.
    At one time I lost 100 in 8 months. I never looked or felt better. Had 2 motorcycle accident and had a kid in my early 40s. Fitness went to hell. 188.6lb after and I got diagnosed with diabetes. I know what to do before, but I never did anything about it. Now that I'm faced with this diagnose I realize I have to do something about it, not only for me but for my only kid.

    pheewww. I'm scared guys but I have done it before.
    If I am able to quit smoking 3 years ago after 30 years of consumption...........I can do this.

    Welcome to the next phase, and yes you CAN do it. Take it slow and steady; it took 30 years to get here, so don't plan to get back in six months. But you will get there if you just keep plugging along. Good thing you are starting TODAY. If you waited another year, you'd be a year older when you got to your goal.

    for the last year been doing well, have lost 40# since last March. 15# of it since Jan 1 when I started my 6month plan for Gastric Sleeve surgery. but in the last couple of weeks I have hit a brick wall.. lots of personal crap going on in my life that has kinda set me back on my butt. I have little to no motivation to exercise, I am at least still logging my food. That's a good thing I guess. UGGGH.
