Just getting started on here as of 3/26 but have started my new eating plan on 3/14 have lost about 12 pounds so far and feel great. I am a type 2 Diabetic with over 100 pounds to lose I have decided that the plan that I can stay with the best long term is a lower Carb plan 100 grams a day or less which also helps me being a diabetic. My body has reacted great to the change in carb intake and I honestly can say I have not been hungry at all since I started. I guess I should mention I am married to a great girl and love of my life for the last 14 years and we are blessed with 3 kids. A 10 yr old girl, a 6 yr old boy, and a 2 year old boy. I am doing this for a few reasons, first I needed to do this for me, and I realizied I was a very poor example for my wife and kids and needed to change for them just as much as for me. So here we go I would love to have some friends who can relate to where I am at and help each other along the way. As of today I am 265 with a goal weight around 160. God bless to all.

    Hi there! Welcome to the site. I started at 253 and I'm aiming for 153, so sounds like we're in a similar boat. I think you'll find lots of great tools here and very supportive folks. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like, and good luck to you with all of your goals.

    Good for you!!!! That's awesome that you've already lost! I bet you're feeling great! I too have around 100 lbs to lose. And I've finally found a "diet" or eating program that I like and it's been three days. So I hope to be where you are soon with your loss!

    I am not diabetic or even pre yet, but I consume sugar like it's air. And I know that if I don't do something about it now, I'll be well on my path to being diabetic so I'm doing this to be healthy and preventive too. Plus, my fiancee and I will start to have a family in another year or so so I want to be healthy! As of today I am 275 with a goal of 175. So I'll give you any encouragement I can and take it as well! Good luck!!!!
