[QUOTE="paulins, post: 826579, member: 98752"] I was diagnosed last January (2014) and have now lost 123 lbs with the Newcastle diet. I introduced other foods after about 6 months, and learned to run to get exercise. I have managed to maintain the weight loss, and allow a 3lb fluctuation. If it goes above 3lbs I have a couple of days when I eat less and exercise more, I go for common sense - calories in/calories out - and I don't eat rubbish. I allow myself some red wine at weekends and a glass of champagne at special occasions. I'm fine, mostly, though some days I have to be honest and say that it is really HARD! But, I tell myself: - I like wearing my size 10 jeans (wore size 18/20 when I began) - I like having so much more energy - I like having low BS readings as I know this will keep me healthier for much longer - I actually like exercise which surprises me - I like the fact that I don't take blood pressure medication any more - I like the fact that I have more willpower than I had ever believed possible - I like there fact that everyone in our house now eats much healthier, fresh, unprocessed foods (most of the time). I do not underestimate just how hard it is to lose weight and how much harder it can be to keep it off. It is a lifetime commitment. Good luck to all of you. [/QUOTE]
