That is wonderful. Metformin never agreed when I took it. Too bad I didn't get the memo then to get healthy then. I've been on various insulins since 2005 (after the Metformin) but it has only been last three months that I have reduced and now nearly stopped my insulin. Lost 13 years to diabetes, but now doing better to…

Hi, feel free to add me. And ill send a request of my own. I've always been heavy, but I gained 100 lbs in college, 20+ years ago now?!?! And much was due to some some traumas and losses in my life, that were profound, though not so profound as yours I imagine. I was able to really talk and heal from it only recently, and…

I'm 42 and type 2, friend me if you wish

Thats wonderful Jenny, you always inspire!

I want to get there, 31 down and 77 to go to a goal BMI of 24! Oh, and congrats on the 100 pound loss.

Dawn. Thank you for posting. It is great that you have found confidence and made sense of your "evolution". I hope your success is long lasting and only deepens over time. You have really helped others too, not that it is about that but for me you were the only "friend" who reached out to check in with me my first week…

Just a couple of thought. Why are you doing this? Write the reasons down, pick the three most important and stick them where you will see them first thing on the morning, before you see your mom. Internal things are very underrated. If you don't care enough to do this for you, and have enough sense of self worth, you are…

Please feel free to add me. Been at it just over a month, and consistent. I have about same start and end goals, and height is close too, and were close in age, so only major difference is gender. I started off gang busters, but now settling into a more healthy pace of loss too. I would welcome any motivational and…

I'm 42, and been at this about a month. Have 2 kids 12 yo boy with autism, and 9 yo girl and a wonderful wife who is joining me on the journey, but much more shy than I. I hail from New England and also have had type 2 diabetes if that is a struggle for anyone too. Anyone on a similar journey, feel free to add me.

I bicycled across America and gained 3 pounds. At the time I did treat it as a license to eat and didn't watch my calories at all. I was definitely the fittest I have ever been at the end of that rip however, and definitely gained muscle and lost fat as well. I only stepped on the scale at beginning and end of trip too so…

Awesome! In the past month I have gone from 400 units of insulins a day to 40 or 50, and my A1c dropped from the 9s to 7.1. With just really one full month of effort. I am also diagnosed 13 years (march 2000). So we have a similar timeframe that lets me know there is hope yet, though I was between Xxl and 3xl when I…

No idea, but I have had a similar issue since trying couch to 5k nearly two weeks ago. I being the stubborn individual I am kept walking 3 miles a day for nearly a week before deciding I needed to rest it last Thursday. I self diagnosed it as runners knee, and though it is slowly getting better, it is not there yet. To…

Please feel free to add me. I'm in my early 40s and I joined about a month ago, so far I am down 17 pounds since joining and 44 since my high weight last winter. This time is different as I was blessed this summer with sharing some painful traumas with someone and in the process started caring about myself. I also have…

Working to lose 108 or so. Been here three weeks and already lost 13. Anybody in same boat, feel free to add me.

Steve, I too have found a real change since starting on this site about 2 weeks ago. Last night, I wanted more veggies, not my old stillin cabinet snacks. I am type 2 diabetic so I didn't need beer to damage my health, food was doing plenty of damage by itself!!! I'll send a friend request as we started out about same…

Feel free to add me. I am not lose to how far you've come, but I am enjoying each new day!

I started with stopping diet soda and coffee about two weeks ago and started logging about a week ago. I've lost 5 lbs this week! And I have cut my insulin from 400 units a day to 60 yesterday and my sugars are more stable. I've had midnight snacks a plenty over the years, but something has changed for me and I'm not…

Andrea I too have had significant consequence from weight. For starters I am type 2 diabetic. Also I have a very stressful job which I have blamed my stress eating on for years. Ive just joined the site a week ago. Please feel free to and me as a friend if you wish.

Feel free to friend me. I posted yesterday, I'm from north central ma, so definitely New England...
