As of Sunday I've lost fifty pounds! I'm still 12 pounds away from my goal but it's in sight now. I've decided that once I reach it I'm gonna try and lose a little more.

Also, a couple of years ago I took part in a Biggest Loser contest here in my town. In three months I lost about 48 pounds and got down to 195. And wore a size 35 waist jean. I had gained all that weight back plus some and had donated all those skinny clothes except for one shirt and a pair of jeans. I tried that shirt and jeans on last night and they both fit again! I've gone from a wearing a size 42 jean and a size xxl shirt in Feb. to a size 35 jean and a size L shirt now in July. I feel great and decreased my body fat percentage by about 5% since the middle of May!(when I started tracking it.) I'm diabetic and my A1C at last check was 5.1 and they took me off of my Metformin. Since then my blood sugar hasn't been over 105 except once (120) and that has been March.

My high was 262 in Oct. I'm now 211. I had planned to buy a new wardrobe once I reached 199 but I'm think now that I may shoot for 185 before I go shopping!

I don't really have anyone to brag to so I thought I post it all here! My friends and family are all getting tired of hearing about it.

    We never get tired of hearing about people who succeeded. Losing that weight is hard, it requires work and dedication. Unfortunately, getting it back requires no dedication and no work at all. Wish there was a switch somewhere we could just 'flick' and stay where we want to be.

    Life isn't fair; I want my money back.
