I actually started this journey at 226 pounds in October 2013, when I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes. I will consider my diet a success when I reach the "healthy" BMI range beginning at 154 pounds. I haven't weighed that much, I mean, little, since I joined the USAF back in 1975. I wore size 10 when it really meant something good.

Other health concerns:
arthritis, esp in spine, rt hip, and knees
diverticulosis, IBS
wheat allergy, gluten intolerance
seasonal allergies

Current nutritional balance:
1200 calories per day, consisting of 5% carbs, 15% protein, and 80% fats

Preferences:
Organic, grass fed, free range whole foods

I track my food on MyFitnessPal.

I track my FBG and A1C on DiabetesForum.
