I've still got a long way to go, and anyone who is following PLANT BASED NUTRITION is free to add me!

Good luck to all you!

    That is so awesome! I'm a big fan of the plant based diet. My father who is 77 and who has had cardiovascular disease as well as needing to drop some weight started on the same plan we are on. His doctor was amazed at the difference in his blood chemistry. He's dropped a lot of weight as well. He's not there yet, but he will be. It is just slower for him because there is always a special occasion where he goes out and eats at the steakhouse or whatever. I'm much more OCD and never break the rules. I feel that if I did, I would just end up chucking the whole thing and go back to eating pizza. :o)

    Anyway, you are doing GREAT!!

    Congratulations!! I am so looking forward to the day I get to drop all the "weight related" medications too! 95% of my health issues are directly linked to weight! Thanks for the inspiration!

    I am a "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" guy. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn Jr's book changed my views on heart disease and diet. Really quite an amazing book.
