The salads at Wendy's are delicious. I don't have a weight problem, so I eat the whole package, but they do make a great meal at work.

Thos pictures are amazing. Congratulations to you and the Mrs. for taking such good care of yourselves. You cannot imagine the pain and disability you are saving yourself from.

You cannot imagine the pain and disability you are saving yourself from.

I am very fortunate that I made it to age 40 in relative good health despite being 100+ pounds overweight. I was a borderline diabetic and had near constant backpain. Just climbing stairs would make my heart pound through my chest and if I sat down in a soft couch, it would be difficult for me to get out of it.

Had I not done anything, I'm certain that I would eventually have been put on medications and/or hospitalized at some point.

When I lost the weight, my back pain disappeared, my blood sugars went to normal and my hypertension is no longer an issue. The only challenge now is to maintain my current state and never get in that situation (of obesity) again.
