Started yesterday and feeling good.
« on: January 10, 2012, 11:38:19 AM »
I read the book over the weekend and started Monday. First day went by pretty easily and hope that continues. I'm 5'9 310 lbs. I was diagnosed with type II diabetes last year. The doctor said if I could lose 100 lbs I wouldn't need the meds. So that's something I'm shooting for. My goal weight is 175-180 but mainly I want to feel healthy again. Wish me luck.

Hey Cwoody & welcome to the forum!  100 pounds is definitely do-able!  I am 5' 10" and right now I have my goal set for 176.   I am working on my second 100 pounds now, so we can do this together!   You have come to the right place!   ;D
