Thanks everybody! Ya'll always have such encouraging things to say... thank you all! I'm feeling so excited about my progress now and I can wait until I can post another set of before/after pictures. Whoo!

Welcome, NewJourney! Good work getting a new doctor... we all need to do the best to keep positive people in our lives and getting rid of (or at least ignore) the toxic people. Easier said than done, I know! Anyway, it sounds like you're doing pretty well dieting while managing your diabetes. I know that's got to be very hard to keep up with. I think a lot of us have seen the quickest results with low carb diets, but there's more than one way to skin a cat! Good luck and keep us posted on how you're doing!
