A little update for
Gevonovich
. It has been just a little over 8 months since your post where you said:
So I am updating this reply of mine from January:
Now over 90 pounds lighter. And still losing.
Had a full checkup in April. All of my blood work numbers are in the "normal" ranges. HbA1C, blood glucose, lipids, all of it. According to the standard charts for my height, I am now officially merely "overweight" and no longer "obese" or the original category of "morbidly obese."
Ripple effect - One of my older sisters is following suit, more or less, and is reversing her type 2 diabetes. Better results in her A1C numbers from 3 months of dietary change than any other treatment she has been on, plus she is also losing weight (not sure how much, she lives across the country) that she had kind of given up on losing.
So your wish is granted: a brother AND a sister saved.
Knife content: My green Case Peanut is in my pocket today. I used it to cut the tags off my brand new 40" waist jeans I am wearing today, that are COMFORTABLE. Down from 52" just 8 months ago.
