Thats an inspiration, I'll think about your success as I work on my own flabby bits.

Congratulations. A very sensible rate of 1.5lbs per week on average.

Thanks I hope it is adding to my life so I can spend it with my wife

My number 1 issue was diabetes, and that is going great. Have become sensitive to insulin for the first time in the 2000's, and must skip a shot altogether on pool days or else risk hyperglycemia. So it is all good, even if the scale does not show it.

These are the things that matter most. Keep in mind that you're exercising, so your builing muscle which weighs more than fat. It sounds like you're on the right track, keep it up!

I need to lose probably another 10 or 15 lbs, but I think I'll just keep on doing what I'm doing, foodwise. I'm trying to not eat processed foods, and have added a lot of fresh vegetables and whole grains to my diet. I walked around a couple of blocks yesterday morning, and then hiked an easy (and level!) short trail at the park in the afternoon. I walked around 3 blocks this morning, and probably could have gone further except my legs started getting a bit "heavy". I go back tomorrow for my 3 week followup to my surgery, and although I don't think she will absolutely release me for all activity, I think she will loosen up a lot. I woke up feeling great, and not sore at all, this morning. Spring has sprung!

Good luck to both of you!

You really are an inspiration! Congratulations!

I'm actually really surprised how a couple of kilo's can make such a big difference. I lost about 4kg, and I can feel the difference in my clothing, but also while exercising and in my day to day routine. It's a nice feeling

5 kilo (11 lbs) is one size less in clothes.

I lost 2 kilo's already, yeah!

Congrats

I keep hearing things like this. xxx kilo equals one clothing size. But opinions tend to differ. A lot I've heard everything between 4 to 8 kilo's. I guess it depends on the person. But my pants are definitely too loose right now. Very comfy

xD extra wide? extra small? what?

feminine for a he-person like me might mean unreachable, seclusive, ther is a dividing line and I am out of it.

[wyndslash]
