I'm in the same boat, diagnosed type 2 diabetic a little over a year ago, but trying to follow a ketogenic diet to reverse the diabetes

Don't stress about the exercise, the diet is foremost. Once you are stuck on your weight, introduce whatever exercise(s) you feel comfortable with.

Someone decluttered me because I hit the like button on someone else's meme and made assumptions of my personality. It ticked me off for a whole 5 minutes. I don't need to deal with stupid people.

Don't EXPECT to lose weight... it happens when you least expect it!

30 lb weight loss

By looking at your progress photos, with the exception of 2011, I can honestly say I thought you were still college age

seeing my first progress photo

I was wondering how this 10 year old thread appeared out of nowhere. I have been in the same place as you for the decade as well (yoyo). You know what works, I guess you have to stick to THAT and cut out the stuff that you think you can just sneak a little of... Good luck!

This may be the greatest transformation I have EVER SEEN! Congratulations on your success!

Find your "whys". Don't try to tackle everything at once, baby steps work better than cold turkey.

Turkey sausage microwave patty + cheese + egg with or without an English muffin = 2 min. breakfast sandwich that's better than any fast food.

You're doing it all wrong! First thing's first. THROW THE WATCH AWAY or STOP LOOKING AT IT. This is 99% of your problem, it's the same effect as watching the clock 3 hours before leaving work. The c25k program doesn't have to be advanced every week, it's only a guide. You can repeat a week for 1,2,3 weeks if necessary. And…

You have to do it for YOU, the weight loss, drinking. Don't let excuses or BF sabotage you.

I drink diluted Crystal Light. In other words... water. Hopefully the plastics leaching into the water supply won't kill me

A pretty smile!

Make sure you are eating PROPERLY and getting enough sleep. Carbs are great for energy, so it's normal to feel groggy when you cut back to lose weight

Beans, rice, veggies and fruit are the cheapest items in the grocery store. Grow a garden! Buying prepackaged frozen boxed crap is expensive.

I like but he drinks alone. LOL The Guess Who

The obvious answer is "cheat day". But there ARE healthier alternatives

In the same boat. Good luck

The best mexican restaurants are in my own backyard ;)

start Whole 30

change 30 minutes to 60

Great book, but I don't think I can do EVERYTHING the book says

Like anything else, READ the ingredients!

Use your will power. Decline the invite, or have a salad. It's a LIFESTYLE change. I used to say I have a sabotaging spouse... but it's MY decision what I put into my mouth... not hers. You can't blame others.

Do you have well water or a crappy washing machine? I add OxyClean
