Im also no longer fat and disgusting. However I was on the way towards it a few years back. I was eating alot of fast food and frozen dinners. I gained alot of weight, and my wife went up to 200lbs and she's only 5". I was 5'6 and was 185, mostly fat. My wife ended up becoming diabetic. So we changed, and now in 2010 I am 161 (with a 31 inch waist) and my wife is 126. We cook our own food now and even stay in during the weekend minus going to the gym. Oh, and I cook good food, not rabbit food!

And let me add as one of the people who ballooned up to 280 pounds and got down to 135-142. Took me 3 1/2 years. Had to move from my cushy existence which was depressing the HECK out of me. Stuck up neighbors who stressed me out. Paid HUGE rent just for an apartment and the name of a city. Moved to a bigger complex in a nicer city with a gym, spa and pool. Great neighbors who don't put on self-righteous airs. Got a new job, stopped working 60+ hours a week. Wont go past 35. Dropped a FAST 50 pounds right there! Started eating breakfast, lunch and dinner...every day. Had a fruit snack at bedtime. Still ate at McDonalds, but changed HOW many times I ate there ... and WHAT I ate there. It's a treat now.
Here's the thing: No Jenny Craig or NutraSystem (Sorry, processed food there!) No Weight Watchers or Lindora which are GREAT programs but not for me either. Just free overeaters anonymous meetings that was in my new neighborhood. Bottom line: find YOUR problem, change it your way. My pounds ... melted off.

Sorry that your wife became diabetic. I am curious if her weight loss made it more manageable. I read that diabetes cannot be reversed. If you don't mind saying, what are your experiences?
Hey,
Sorry for the late reply. As for my experiences both our parents are diabetic, but my dad and her parents got it in their 40s, and my mom just got it this year at 62. My wife got it at 23 which is really bad. Luckily at work she had a nutritionist that worked on a diet for her and me I just gave up most of the fast food and added more fruits and vegetables and took up running. Its easier for a guy to lose weight and my wife is naturally curvy anyway. Her diabetes is extremely more manageable now that she says her doctor has said her diabetes is nearly non-existant. Her weakness has been and always will be Coke so I have to keep an eye on her so she doesnt drink it every day. Other than that more salads, but I buy fresh vegetables rather than salad kits, dont know if its much better but its my preference.
Another aspect that helped us was my deployment in 2008. Im a reservist and was already being flagged due to my weight. However this was not so embarrassing as there were at least 10 soldiers in our unit that were overweight. This is a problem that is affecting the military more and more. During my deployment I lost alot of weight due to being active and my wife lost alot due to my not being there :). However my losing weight was not because of the food.
In fact I would like someone to address the food being served to our troops overseas. 90% of our meals were burgers, chicken strips, baked chicken,french fries, pizzas, hot dogs, etc. Yeah there was healthy options, but most dont want to eat rice and lettuce their whole deployment. Now high calorie food may be good for those who are active, but there are many clerks and other less active soldiers that dont have the opportunity to burn it off. I had one friend that went up 2 ACU sizes while we were there, but to be fair he had been stop lossed and was doing it as a big F-U to the Army.
Whew sorry to go off on a rant. Yeah its comfort food to those fighting overseas but once we get it everyday it gets less and less comfortable.

My husband would have to agree with you. He lost 15lbs once during a two week underway period because he didn't want to eat the "fish pieces" and other mystery foods.
shareLOL, the worst food has to be at Fort McClellan. I had gas every night for 2 weeks.
