Hey, @karen00, so happy for your good news! It is not the easiest thing in the world to lose weight, but it is very satsifying. It took me over a year to lose 65 pounds. I need to lose at least 50 more. I have to take a couple of meds that have the unfortunate side effects of putting on weight. I also have Type Two Diabetes so I have to really count carbs faithfully. It is not easy, but it is totally doable. The hardest part is changing one's mental attitude towards food. I used to love bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, and would build my meals around combinations of meat and vegetables with a carby side dish. Not anymore. I can no longer eat that way and have a decent A1C. It may not be for everyone, but there are many food plans out there and exercise plans to help keep us on track. We are all in good company here. We can do it together!
