That's awesome Robert!

So glad to hear of so many success stories. I'm determined to be one of them. I have two boys. I'd like to be able to enjoy their energy and to be able to keep up with them!

Thanks, I'll look into that!

I would love it if we can support each other. I have had diabetes for the past 15 years and despite the education and warnings haven't really taken it that seriously, except while pregnant. I really want to make some changes this time, so I'm putting it out there for everyone to see. I'd love to help support you too!

I'm on more than 1200 calories, but here are some snack ideas... One snack I like that gives me a lot of protein is 1% cottage cheese with some fresh or frozen berries. It takes a bit of getting used to, but I have come to enjoy my cottage cheese! It is a bit high on sodium though. I also enjoy having a meal replacement…

I can definitely see a change! I agree with someone else who wrote that a change is a good way to get over a plateau. Also, did you do any other measurements like waist, hips, bust. Even arms, thighs, etc. I bet that even if you hit a weight plateau you'll keep seeing changes in other measurements that might not be as easy…
