Ditched 60 lb. in 5 1/2 months!!!

Thank you so much. Just to add, I'm a type 1 diabetic, been so since age 12. So I am at higher risk for some things. Latest lab results and tests from the doctor. ZERO and I mean ZERO diabetic complications of any type. Blood pressure is always around 115 / 60, last a1c (shows blood sugar control for last 3 months) was in the non diabetic range at 5.9, fasting blood sugar was 73 and total cholesterol was 123 with a HDL of 59!!! I have so much more energy, sleep better, feel better and I know it will only continue to get better as I ditch these last 40 pounds.

That's aweosme! You have done an amazxing job!! What did you do for the weight to come off so quickly? Do you have any tips that you can share?

First time to try to reply with a quote. Hope it works :-) I was honest surprised it came off so quickly. Everyone kept telling me "once you're 40 it's so hard to take off." UGH. I have to say that I don't sway from the program. I stay within my calorie goal and I tend to not eat back my exercise calories, maybe half I will eat back. If I'm not hungry, I don't eat them back. I also started zig zagging calories to help trick my body and keep the metabolism going. I workout hard 5 days of the week and wear a HRM and make sure I burn at least 500 calories in exercise on those 5 days. I also walk 7 days a week. I call this my "sweat equity." Anyone is welcome to add me as a friend. I love to give encouragement. I also make my exercise and food diary public so you can take a peek at what I'm doing.
