I've lost a total of 115 pounds since this time last year..............
I went to a local Dr. and she specializes in weight management & solutions. My blood sugars and everything else were out of wack after some initial counseling I went on Opti-Fast System. I had times where weeks went and nothing came off and then I discovered it was sugar that prevented some loss. I now am on a modified program but the entire basic concept is to eat 6 small meals of say 200 calories each. Strange as it sounds you need to eat to lose weight, the small meals keep the metabolism up and running. Eat like a diabetic and you will lose weight. My sugar levels are now in the 80's I've gone to the lowest BP meds now and my BP is 100/69, I don't have reflux any more, and a whole host of problems left after about the first 30lbs. I try to walk at least 5 miles daily on the treadmill and on some days I've worked my way up to 8.4 miles. I am in better shape now at 52 than I was at 22.

1. First of all, Congratulations on your journey to good health!
115 lbs gone is amazing isn't it? Your story is an inspiration for those trying hard to lose anywhere from 5- 200lbs!
It's not easy and some days it's almost impossible but YOU did it!

You DO need to eat to lose and importantly you need to eat to keep the weight off.

best wishes to you for continued success and good health.
