That's perfect Sam. Keep it up you should just gradually lose weight and let your body become acclimated to your new size and lifestyle. Kudos!! {#Cheers}

Thanks... I just moved down from 7X to 6X in clothing size.

yep, its in most all cereals, sauces, veg broth, virtually all soda, virtually all snack stuff, canned fruits, etc etc. At least it keeps me away from almost all processed foods most of which are not healthy anyways.

One of those blessings in disguise kind of things...That crap will kill you for sure.

Congrats on losing the weight! At least now for me the HFCS is no longer a problem now that I know I am allergic to all corn products. It sucks big time that its used in nearly everything, even sausages...

Thanks... I'm losing about 2 pounds a month. Since September when I swore off sugar I've lost a lot of weight. I don't know exactly how much because I don't have a scale which weighs me accurately but I think I'm losing about 2 pounds a month on average.

I would be more if I exercised (you really can't lose weight just from diet) but I don't have the right equipment yet. I'm supposed to get a new "rollator" walker this week and this will allow me to go on walks... I hope it arrives.

Congratulations!

I know what you speak about realizing you would be dead by now if you hadn't changed your lifestyle.

I have eaten two pieces of chocolate (rather small See's Candies pieces) since September and nothing else. No sugar, no sweets, no pie, no cake. My blood pressure is way down and my weight is coming off at a steady rate and I feel so much better. My cancers are in total remission (no tumor found) and my sciatica is finally going away. I wouldn't be functioning at all if I hadn't changed my ways.

I will pray for your continued health advances in hopes that your example will lead me towards greater health.

It's been over four years since I started this quest but portion control and cutting out snacks are the two things that got the ball rolling...I also stopped drinking sodas and cut out HFCS as much as possible. Making up my mind to do it and then having the willpower to stick with it were awfully important as well...Once I got started and could see how much my mobility was improved it became that much more important to me. Since I really can't exercise it has taken a lot longer than it probably should have but I'm very happy with my results.

Thanks all. I'd like to lose about 8 more if I can but I seem to yoyo this last 10 which is frustrating. My knees and ankles are the big winners but I've no doubt I would be dead by now had I continued to put weight on. {#Good-vibes}
