in Introduce Yourself
I am 58, married, ave been over weight most of my adult life. I live in SE Texas and up to last may 1st I was a walking medical disaster. (I am a Type 1 and 2 diabetic, had 2 massive strokes in 2014, I was very over weight, I have lost a kidney and had cancer twice) on 5/1 Things changed,(don't ask me why, I really can't explain it) I gave up caffeine and diet sodas and my daily 5 hour shot, I down loaded and tarted using MFP along with a Ketogenic medicinal Way of eating, and exercising regularly. I have lost 40 pounds and unfortunately my 4th toe due to an infection..(this has side lined me from most exercise for the past 3 weeks) but my A1c is down to 5.83 My insulin requirement is down by 2/3rds, I am off blood pressure meds completely. My eyes are the best they have been in 10 years.
My one complaint abou MFP is that I can't manually enter steps and track that progress.

ps: I am married to a 69 year old marathoner who is training for the 2018 Dopey Challenge in January.

nice to meet ya'll

    Hi Elizabeth,
    Well done on the fantastic 40lbs off. Sorry to hear about your toe, but that aside you sound to be doing amazingly well.

    Hi Elizabeth, and congrats. I too experienced one of those "something changed" moments about 7 weeks ago, after which I decided to download this app. Things have definitely turned a corner for me (so far) and although I have no expertise to really share, just wanted to say: good job.
