fzzy, I, too, am amazed at your loss. What a wonderful, satisfying achievement!

And Lil, fzzy's right. It's all in perspective, you know. And remember that your sugars *are* better. From everything I've read, even losing 10 lbs. can be helpful for diabetics in controlling glucose levels.

osuche, as has been said before, you've had some unique challenges since beginning your program. Stick with it--you're doing great.


As for me, the "official" weigh-in has me down 29.5 lbs. since 12/30/05. That leaves me 18 more to go if I want to get to my goal weight, the weight it'll take me to have a 25.0 BMI. Funny, but as soon as I rounded the 50% mark of my progress, the whole thing seemed more real, like, "Wow! I really AM doing this!" Of course, I had some stray thoughts yesterday about when I do reach goal, if it's going to be difficult to get out of "loss" mode and into "maintenance" mode, since this has been a minor obsession for me for nearly four months.
