I can't believe my good luck.

I also stopped eating willy-nilly. I've increased my fruit and veggies. I am not eating meat, but using soy protien, no fat, no sugar, no flour, no salt. My cholesterol is down to 159 and my triglicerides are down to 115. My hdl is 89 and my ldl is 54. My A1C is up to 6.3, but it may come down if I lose more of this weight.

I finally feel like life is coming under control again.

This weight loss may not last, so don't be discouraged. If I can't keep it off, it won't count for anything. But it sure feels good right now.
