I know just what you mean! I may have a life sentence but it's really made me take control of myself again. I reckon I can control the Type 2 and get rid of all this flab in time to really enjoy my retirement.
Well done on the weight loss. Keep steadily low-carbing and it will come off in time. Don't be put off if you plateau - it happens. Don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day, just pick up again and carry on. Allow yourself the odd treat day on special occasions. Save up so you can buy something really nice to wear when you've dropped a couple of sizes. And yell for help on here if you get stuck - I intend to!
Let us know how you get on.
