Hi, I'm back here again for a second attempt at losing 100lbs plus and am really hoping to connect with others who are in a similar position for mutual support and encouragement. To complicate matters I also have type II diabetes. Over the past months, I lost 15lbs very slowly by just reducing my carbs, but now I think I really need to start calorie counting too and beginning some exercise at home.

    I did it and NEVER counted a calorie or carb grams or any of that stuff. Eat a plant based diet and eliminate ALL white food (dairy, sugar, flour). Remember, this is a change in diet and NOT a diet!!! Once you loose all the weight you'll be off the meds too!

    That's great - do you mean that you gave up all meat and fish as well as dairy? Did you eat plants raw - i.e. a raw vegan diet?
