Well, huge congratulations to you! Scale counts less because honestly, if you show up every single day, show discipline and do the right thing, results come.

I stopped eating white bread, white rice, potatoes, sugar and all stuff with high or medium glycemic load (bananas, honey, dates, etc).

this is a huge step, not easy, but has to be done. I'm not saying, we can have some cheats here and there, but controlled and definitely not like before.

Polenta is on my menu as well, I add some low fat fresh cheese. It's a very good dish and recommended by dietitian. I've never been to one, but my brother has and I have his menu as guidance. Obviously tailored to my needs.

I'm really glad you found my post as it's important to connect with like minded people in the same boat.

I wish you good luck and let's do this!
