I usually say I lost it with the 4 Ds. Diet, Determination, Discipline, and Dedication. And then they want to know if I'm following a specific plan. I answer with there was no pill, potion, or surgery. I log onto MFP every day and track all my food and exercise. Then they quickly lose interest. LOL

very inspiring. friend request sent.

Good job! I'm 57 and working on an 80 lb loss journey. I've got a little over 20 lb to go! Friend request sent!

Being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in January this year. I got it turned around, lost 50 lbs, and am now off of b/p meds. Ah ha!

I have been emptying out 2 closets of plus-sized clothing. I have lost count of how much I have donated to Goodwill, but we are somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 to 20 trash bags full. I gotta make room for all of the size mediums that I am currently wearing :)

Going off b/p meds

6 months and 45 lbs gone

Fantastic! You look great! Congrats!

How many total carbs are you eating in a day? I had to cut mine down to no more than 20 per day. Took my A1C from 8.7 to 5.7 in 3 months and with NO meds. But with all those meds you're on, you'll need to consult with your doctor to keep your sugars from getting too low.

Very awesome! My story is very similar. Went from 8.7 to 5.7 in 3 months. And lost 30 lbs in that timeframe as well. For me, it's keeping my carbs under 20 total per day. No meds ever--although my doctor wanted to start me on 2 meds. I kindly declined and fixed this with proper diet and adding in some light exercise.

Walking up hills and they haven't killed me!

Good job! I am doing the same and am no longer considered diabetic!

I had a similar experience this past January. Down 35# and not stopping. Congrats to you!

I don't know how to add you from here, but feel free to add me. I was diagnosed a couple of months ago. I've had the pre-diabetes for a couple of years now, but did nothing about it. My doctor and I decided to have me go to a dietician first and see if I can control it without meds. It's hard for me to type this and very…

oh wow, thanks for all the info!

I am a new avocado lover. Can't believe I never liked it before. Anyway, thank you for the recipe. I'll be sure to try it soon.

Great ideas. Thanks everyone!

Count me in!
