Hey all,

2. Congratulations on your success

I know how hard it is to lose weight and to stay on course, especially when I 'plateau'.
Add to much of what you say, I'm also a diabetic so, many options others have do not apply to me.

I'm basically trying a low carb, do it myself, diet.
I was on MediFast for some months but it was $300+ a month and I'm retired on Social Security.

I think the most important thing you said is that you are walking.
(I used to jokingly ask if walking from my couch to the refrigerator counted.)

I lost a friend of 37 years a few weeks ago due to a heart attack. He was quite heavy.
That put some extra 'ooomph' into my attempt to get serious again about losing weight.

Best of continued luck to you, and post more. You're not alone in what you're doing.
