    Just saw your post. You are doing great. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to make changes. Know that you are doing it for yourself even if no one else notices. I am struggling with diabetes and I am encouraged by your positive results. My last a1c was 10.4. Meds aren't helping much at all. My goal was set for 45-60 grams of carbs per meal. Looks like I need to cut way back. I love pizza, pastas, and breads. Would appreciate any advice you could give. Stay strong as your follow your path and you will be at goal before you know it.

    Thank you so much :) no one at work has noticed yet either or maybe they just don't see it not sure. Cutting down the amount of carbs has to be one of the hardest things I've done in my life, I'm Italian and addicted to Pepsi so carbs kept me going. I had to do it slowly one meal at a time, once the first meal got easier then I would add the second and the third. I noticed as my body consumed more protein and less carbs my cravings for cards and all foods in general kind of went away the protein was so filling I am never hungry. For breakfast I typically do some form of eggs and bacon, for lunch a salad with grilled chicken, and for dinner my protein shake. I think the key is slow and steady not cold turkey

    you should be proud, i honestly wish that the 60lbs i lost so far looked half as good as the weight youve lost.
    so far all ive gotten is saggy skin and a disgusting looking body that i will forever have to hide in clothes.
    i think the rest of my weight loss is only gonna leave me looking like an old 90 year old.. and thats really really sad
    U look beautiful in your profile picture I think your too hard on your self

    Thank you so much I appreciate it! I stopped looking at the scale when I hit 230 I didn't want to see any more but I had to start with the diet and work up to the exercise.
