    Fantastic job! I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 5 years ago. I have lost 52 pounds over the last year and my A1C is normal now and I am off the one medication I was taking. I am very close to maintenance. I am glad I was diagnosed because now I have a very very important reason to never go back to the way I was eating and not exercising. I would then have to go back on my meds and check my blood everyday. Also it is a progressive disease where the need for stronger and stronger medication occurs as well as organ deterioration.You are not only a great example to your son, but the rest of us as well.
    Thank you sooo much

    That's so awesome. Congratulations! Your story is more inspiring than you know! I keep waiting for 'that' day to come for me. There have been many times I re-started eating healthy - this time for life! - only to end up back where I was. Thanks!
    Thank you. And just keep moving forward. You'll get there

    How did you get your bas back in shape? Did you have to deal with loose skin?
    I didn't give myself a choice. I told myself I had to do it. From that point it was just diet and excercise. Not much of the loose skin but I did a lot of strength training along the way which really helps in that department. Have just a little in the stomach area but I think it will subside in time.
