Today I reached onederland. It is nice to be under 200 again. I am losing very slow but very comfortable. I am not hungry and my diabetes is under control. I started at 239 lb in Jan. 2007. I lost 12 lbs in 6 months on low fat, portion control diet. I was hungry half a time and other half busy beating myself up for being weak and overeating. After 6 months I gave up and joined my daughter in low carb living. For most part I have stayed on plan ( see I am a food addict and trying to deal with that as well). So far it has been do-able and successful. Yes I'd prefer to lose all 100 lbs in 1 year, but I haven't gain all that in 1 year and I know it will take time to lose all that. The important thing is that I am learning the healthy way of eating for life. I finally realized what works and not works for me.
I don't post much, but I visit this site daily and all of you have been inspiration to me. Thank you all.
