Amit,

I am a Type 2 Diabetic, too, in danger of going on meds until I started on my diet. Now, even my blood sugar is under control. I found out this year that I have damaged my liver with all the fat, but that will heal with the weight loss.

My trigger was a fall where my own weight busted my ribs on my fist as my arms could not stop the fall. Believe me, it is a struggle every day, but I know I have the support of everyone here.

When you are hungry, especially after your walk, drink plenty of water or 0cal/low cal drink - but NOT carbonated sodas, even artificial sweeteners have been shown to expand waistlines.

We support you in your endeavours.

Dave.
