    I'm in that same place, and for some reason "this time is different"..has actually stuck! I'm a type two diabetic, that still have a chance to get off of all of this medication, and I intend on making that happen!! :)

    Thank you for sharing your story!

    First of all congratulation. Secondly you are an inspiration, thirdly I totally agree with all you said above. It's not a diet it's a lifestyle choice for 99.98 % of the time.......every once in a while or festivities a bit of indulgence won't break good habits.......
    Well done looking good

    Amazing story and what an inspiration to us bigger, older guys on the journey. My recurring issue is "sticking to it" I always start out well, lose a lot of weight (20/30/50lbs) then fall off the wagon and have to start again from a bigger number. That is exactly where I am again now. I will keep trying and I will read back to this thread daily.

    Thank you for your story! I had never read it. You are an inspiration, especially to the little liar in my head that wants to get me to believe age is an excuse!!

    Age is truly not an excuse. I am certainly living proof of it. Keep at it and you will achieve your goals. Consistency is the key.

    Wow, this is one of the most amazing success stories I've seen. You lost a ton of weight AND put on some serious muscle AND did it all while in your 50's. That is like a trifecta of awesomeness.

    Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot to me!

    Wish I would have gotten this lifestyle ingrained into my thick skull 20 years ago. I guess as we get older, we get wiser... Or frightened.. Or begin to realize the important things in life.
