First photo was taken on May 30, 2012 when I really got serious about this weight loss journey. Type I Diabetes was very out of control, as well as high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and asthma. Today my insulin usage is down from 155+ a day to about 26 a day. Sleep apnea and high blood pressure are things of the past, Still have a ways to go and lots of toning up to do, but I will get there!

    What a great thing to do for yourself! Excellent.
    I, too, got off my high blood pressure meds (about 6 months ago now) by losing weight, reducing my sodium intake, and getting more exercise. It is so nice to be off all medications. It was the best thing I could do for myself and I'm so glad I did.
    Your story is a great inspiration. Thanks for posting it.

    That is so great! I have lost 16 pounds and beginning to crave small things again. It is taking a lot of will power to say no. I went shopping today to stick with the healthy items. I hope I can stay on track like you. I have not really indulged. I just find my self saying no...try this instead more often the last couple of days. I will think of your success to keep me going. Thanks!
