Iam 43, I was 215 lb, my doctor told me that I am pre diabetic and very high on Cholestrol, this was Aug 2014, I used to wear size 38 pants, today I am 155 lb and wear size 30 pant, I had a simple mantra, calories in vs calories out, I weigh every food I consume, I got a kitchen weighing machine and all sizes of measuring cups, I almost know what every common food carries how much calories, to keep track of my calories burn, I wear Fitbit Surge, I do long distance running, at the begining it was tough, but now I can run 6 miles in less than a hour burning around 700 cals, I avoid fatty foods, for eg : Pizza, Cakes, Candies, Desserts, Ice Creams etc, I usually keep 500 cals as a deficient every day, I mean eat atleast 500 less than what you burn, hope this helps, yeah I am now no more pre diabetic

Wow! Such amazing stories! My story goes like this...I was a super emotional binge eater. Pretty much found and used every excuse to over eat, even on healthy food. I weighed 210lbs for about five years. That was my heaviest. On average I weighed about 175lbs. Anyways it was only until lady year I decided to make the commitment to work on myself. Not only lose the weight but to lose my self defeating behaviors. 60lbs lighter and a lot happier I have only 15lbs more to go and I will be at my goal weight. If I can do it ya'll can do it! Anyone who reads this and feels inspired friend me. I love to motivate people. It is a passion of mine to helps others succeed. Lots of love to you all!
