I'm close to 195 losing close to 70 lbs since August 2004...I cheats a
bit so it takes me longer. I don't remember my cholestral...but my a1c is
floating between 4.8 and 5.2 mmol. I lost 60 ish lbs my first yr. Now
comes the harder 35 lbs. It might take me another yr or two to get to 175
but I'll keep on trying. Doctor wanted me to reach 160 lb but I just
laughed at that. She compromised to 175 when I agreed that was a more
realistic goal. So my goal is to lose 95 lbs..I have only 20 lbs to lose
before I will cheat again.
