First I will say I am now 48 years old. The Mother of two. One is 27 the other 25, I have two Grand Children and a wonderful husband. I have tried every diet in the world. So many I can't remember them all. I have type 2 diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol, high blood pressure. Isn't that enough? I yo-yoed my weight up to one pound shy of the dreaded 300 pounds... Yikes.. it hurts just to write that down. My husband is overweight also. A friend of ours that had went on the weight loss plan called "Take Shape for Life" had lost 107 pounds in 6 months. We have watched him in this journey. So he suggested maybe we would like to check this out. He has been on maintenance for about a year. He is doing well and is very happy with his choice.
If your interested in what I am talking about go to www.getoffthefatbus.com. I have a list of reason why this lifestyle plan is working for us. I have currently been on the plan for 3.5 weeks and have lost 20 pounds. My husband has lost 30 pounds.
I was taking 360 units a day of lantus insulin, metformin, byetta and novolog (fast acting insulin). After 3.5 weeks I am now on 75 units of lantus and 10 mg of byetta. My blood sugars are clocking in at an average blood sugar level of 95. Used to have levels in the 300's... again that dreaded 300 number..yikes. I feel a lot better, a lot more energy in this short amount of time. I hope you will take this journey along side me... I will have good days and bad days... real life
Thanks for Reading

I'm so proud of you! Making it personal makes it harder to stray from the program - it kind of creates a sense of responsibility. Keep it coming!
