on meds for high bp, high cholesterol, and diabetic. Today I can proudly say I take no medications except a daily vitamin. My last check up my labs came back, according to the nurse, "text book perfect"

I bet you feel a spring in your step too without all that extra weight on you. I know I did after losing a lot of weight. Now get yourself an exercise and diet plan routine you can stick to for the rest of your life in order to keep it off.

without the ' other person ' weight
Glad you were not going to just keep taking more pills and did something good for yourself

Some say well I only have to take another pill.....but it has a toll on the entire body/mind/spirit
congrats

You look younger, happier, more fit, and healthier, too!


Surely you exercised along with the weight loss? You look wonderful!

compliments. Yes I do feel great. I am able to do things I haven't been able to do in a long while. I do exercise, but because of a hernia I had to have repaired (we think I over did it) presently I am only walking and riding my bike, but I do walk a lot..3-5 miles several times a week. I really wish I had done this sooner.

I haven't been following your posts, but you must feel so much better.

I've just started last week. I need to lose quite a bit. Your pictures are an inspiration.
