    When I started my weight was 250 at 5' 7" I knew I was "over weight" but when I went to the BMI chart --oops! I was in the obese range, two stents were placed to correct blockages and my Dr. said "I want you 25lbs lighter on your next visit. I made some progress then I found MYFITNESSPAL, in March 2011 my type 2 meds were cut in half and in Oct 2011 my Dr. declared you have beaten type 2 since you have lost a total of 75lbs This has taken a total of 3 yrs. to accomplish but I feel great with more energy than I have had in years, and anyone can do it you just have to keep in mind what your goal is and when you get there STAY THERE!!

    Congrats- No matter how much weight you have lost defeating diabetes will always beat it. Good job !
