    Thank you for posting this! I started at 297 pounds and know my journey will probably take two years. It's so inspiring to see people who have lost this much weight. Thank you for the reminder that I can do this!

    Congrats on the weight loss, but even more celebration for your son's successes. I really think the two go hand in hand. I think as you got healthier, you were probably able to help him more! Much love to you both!

    In the beginning, I did the standard Atkins style very low carbs...can't remember numbers offhand, but I'm thinking 30 or less. As time went on I upped it to the point that I didn't really worry about them as long as they came from non starchy veg and fruit. There were days that I was at 75 and didn't worry about it.

    Now that I workout 3+ hrs a day, with 2 hrs of that being intense bootcamp style workouts, I eat 3-4 servings of whole grains a day because I was too drained to perform well without them. My carbs are still always under 200 though.

    I've read all the posts and say ditto to all of them. Congrats!
    From what I've read, only surgery cures the fatwings. :-( It sounds kind of expensive, but definitely a good thing, as that too is extra weight you don't need to be carrying around. From what I've read, some insurances cover it and most do not unless it is medically necessary. I guess it's dependent on how good a salesperson your doctor is to the insurance company. I would also guess you need to be in maintenance and holding for a good while before your doctor or the insurance company will even consider it. Bottom line: Talk to your doctor about it. Hope this helps! Ciao, Marc

    Congrats on your weight loss success, I know first hand how hard this journey was for you. It's a wonderful feeling overcoming a stronghold in your life. I never thought in a million years I could loss almost 200 pounds on my own without any surgery but I discovered that God will help those who are willing to help themselves. I am very happy for you!! To God be the Glory!!
