 :cheer:  I lost 55 lbs. last year and it was apparently enough that I am no longer insulin dependent.  Not much for me to celebrate lately but this certainly is.  No insulin and no pills.
Woo Hoo!!!!!

That is excellent! Good for you, we must take heart in the small pleasures true, but that seems like a huge accomplishment, doing away with the drugs. I know losing weight is hard too!!  :grouphug;
