My mini goal is to get to 300 lbs in the next two weeks. I was 304.4 this morning. - 2 pounds a week is doable.

I love liver and onions but even if I have 1 bite it gives me a major gout attack. My old Italian grandmother used to make fried chicken livers and onions in oil and add hot red pepper flakes. Ahh, the memories. And the limping :(

My mini goal is to drink 8 cups of water and get 30 grams of Fiber every day this week.

I haven't exercised and have lost over 60 pounds in the last year. I log everything I eat and try to get lots of fiber and no added sugar - type 2 diabetes - Calories in - Calories out really worked for me. I'm not in a rush. I just want to feel healthier.

I am down 75 pounds from my highest weight (269 pounds this morning) We are going on vacation towards the end of April and I would love to be at 260 or under by the time we leave.

Going to Disneyworld tomorrow. I'll get a good walk in

You are doing great. How is your progress lately?

Hit my first long term (unattainable goal) yesterday by breaking it up into short term attainable goals! My short term goal is to be under 270 by the end of March. One day at a time.

Before: Feb 2106 - about 340-345 pounds After: Feb 2018 - 277 pounds

3 month Dr appointment today. A1c was 5.0 Last April it was 9.0

Clipped my toenails today

Before - around 340 -345. After today at 278

Was able to wrap a regular towel around myself after my shower. First time ever

I haven't had a McDouble in almost a year. For a while it was a staple. 2 McDoubles, large fries and of course a Diet Coke almost daily

All I can say is "awesome"

Inspirational!

My doctor diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes last April. My A1c was 9.0. He said I should cut back on sugar and non complex carbohydrates. I specifically asked him about fruit and vegetables and he said I should eat them. I followed his advice and by November I lost 40 pounds and my A1c was normal 4.7. This is what worked…

I started at 335 and this morning weighed in at 280. My original long term goal was to hit 275. I can't believe I'm almost there. Now 275 is my short term goal.

Way to go. My mantra is slow but steady.

If I take your head off the "before" pictures I would swear that it was me. Your "after" picture has certainly inspired me more than you know. It shows me it is possible. Thank you!

55 pounds - only 5 pounds until my first long term goal. Averaging a pound a week. Slow and steady - one day at a time.

Wow!

I turn 60 next week. I lost 52 pounds last year and am just taking it one day at a time.

A couple of years ago I couldn't walk from here to there without feet, ankles and knees hurting. The next day I would still be limping along. My wife bought me a pair of Skechers Go Walk shoes and my life changed almost immediately. I swear by them. Last November I walked for almost 4 miles without pain. They may not work…

Started reading labels and made a conscious decision to raise fiber count.

Congratulations, I lost 4 pounds during December. Logged every day. It really helps me.
