Bob congrats on your new life.  I'm very encouraged by all the great stories of weight loss here on the site!  I know mine will tail off once I start eating and with a little exercise I'll get there.  I was taking 7 pills a day and 90 units of insuling for dieabetes and high blood pressure.  Down to one pill on the pressure .. nothing on the dieabetes yet!!  I'm sure that will change once I start eating .. but will be greatly reduced ..  I'll take it.  I look forward to hearing from you in the future!!  As to everyone .. you all already know that you're the best!! Ron!
