for the first few weeks I was a little obsessed about logging everything, but I've been able to be more relaxed about it lately.

I was crossing the street (actually an avenue) and the light was about to change so I had to hurry, I was able to sprint across without getting winded or anything aching afterward. It was an awesome feeling. when I lose another 20 pounds I plan to make jogging part of my routine.

I used to put deli sliced cheese on everything, but I stopped doing that. when I do eat cheese now it's a nice aged cheddar or jarlsberg swiss from a block. I'll have a small few slices of that with some sliced pear or grapes and stone wheat crackers. I've been learning that everything is fine as long as it's in moderation.

You look wonderful, congrats on the new you and continued wellness:smile:

Congrats, that is so awesome:smile: you're living proof that reversing diabetes can be done. though diet and exercise a lot of aliments can disappear. for me it was sleep apnea and seasonal allergies. wtg :smile:

I am 5"9 and 217 (last June I was 285) I just joined in march, I was stuck at a plateau and I altered my calorie intake & exercise as per the suggestions from this site and it got me over the hump. feel free to add me.:smile: I can't wait to get under 200 pounds.

35:smile:

my face, calves and ankles were the first to lose weight and tone. then a few months later I lost my butt and half my belly fat. now my chest area is getting smaller and more defined. it's still an ongoing work in progress.

Congrats :smile:

Congrats and many blessings to you both :)
