Hello. I am relatively new here. I'm 39 years old from central Texas. I have recently turned my life around. I have lost 70 pounds since May and now am within reach of my GW of 185 (only 18 pounds to go). I have also recently converted to vegetarian about a month ago. I have been running in 5k's for a couple of months now and having a blast. So much so that I decided to do a half marathon next spring in DC. If that goes well I will set my sights on an Iron Man (longer term goal).2

Hi, male,53 from Berks UK, I suffer from asthma so exercise is difficult. I have been cycling to work (5 mile) for about 4 years, running for about 3 and in the last year started circuit training. Always thought with the amount of exercise I did I could eat what I wanted hence my weight never really changed. Light bulb moment about 40 days ago and have been diarising my meals ever since,have gone from 80kg to 72kg fairly easily but I know it's going to get harder. Regular park runner with a new pb of 25.22.add me to discuss life, exercise etc.2

Hi. I'm 37 and mom of two boys. The weight compounded with each pregnancy and emotional eating my way through a divorce did not help. Anyway, I'm taking a hold of my life again and I am determined to be as healthy and fit as I was before my marriage. Feel free to add me too. I could use all the healthy friends I can get2

I keep pumpin’ the breaks but 50 keeps coming at me faster and faster each day. How the hell did I get to 50 so dang fast? Hell with the way I’ve lived I am shocked I made it this close to 50. I’ll be raising that 50 banner with pride when I get there. Then again I still have three weeks, a lot could happen in three weeks.
I just wish I was arriving at 50 a little less worse for the wear, but all things considered just to cross that mark for me will be an accomplishment.5 -

Don't worry. They claim diabetes is reversible now. Much better to catch it as pre-diabetes though. I was able to roll back all my numbers from pre- to a no diabetes state.2 -
