At least it is a sizable chunk on in the right direction. Thanks for all of your support and encouragement, it really helps.

Wow Kelt, that is fantastic! Celebrate your success....because that's a heck of an achievement. What a difference you've made to your health!
I was just reading an article today about the changing rate of folks, by age, who have "ever been diagnosed" with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. The rates drop sharply after age 70....not because people get better, but "as a reflection of mortality." In other words, people with those chronic conditions die....leaving those without them to get older. They did the same with obesity...not as an "ever been obese" but based on current weight....again, far fewer obese folks over age 70...because they either died, or lost weight.
Scary stuff.
