[QUOTE="Monday12, post: 998797, member: 146813"] Great thread! I'm 12 months into my T2 journey, The big successes are the most important of course - blood glucose now in the normal range, no more metformin, down 23kg (three and a half stones); blood pressure, cholesterol etc. all great. But it's the little things I remember that give me pleasure, just as others have said. The first time a friend said "are you losing weight?" about a month into my diet and 4kg lighter. The first time I had to buy a couple of size medium shirts in M&S because my large size ones were falling off me. (I'm now into "small!") I changed my facebook profile picture about six months and 15kg down, and the response this got from friends in other parts of the country who hadn't seen me was terrific! Last week, at my three monthly check up, when my GP said "wow, look at you!" The delight in my wife's eyes when we get dressed up to go out, because she's no longer with this fat guy (she never said anything, but I can tell....) Oh, and my knees no longer creak, I no longer snore, and I no longer carry packets of Rennies around to combat frequent bouts of heartburn. Honestly, sometimes I think my T2 diagnosis was the best thing that has happened to me health wise for years. At least it gave me the kick up the backside I needed. [/QUOTE]
