I have lost 71 pounds so far. I had diabetes for 10 years or more, High Cholesterol, High blood pressure and Arthritis. I went to get my blood work done that I have too every five months for my meds.
My doctor said it was GREAT and that I could come off my diabetes and cholesterol meds for a month then go back and get recheck to see if I can keep them off. Then I could work on coming off my blood pressure med. He said it looks like I don't need anything. Also my arthritis is much better now.
It's all because I have lost all this weight. I'm so very happy, this is a positive motiation for me now.
Just stay with it, it takes a long time to get it off. Don't never give up!
