Introduction Text Three years ago, I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I am committed to losing 57 pounds and getting my BMI near a healthy range. In 2012 I dropped 50 pounds and maintained that loss for a year. But my work is not done because the weight is slowly returning. My goal for what's left of 2015 is to lose the 15 lbs I've regained. In 2016, I want to lose an additional 15 pounds, which will put me at a healthy BMI. It's a bumpy, challenging road filled with setbacks, struggles and detours, but with the support of Sparkpeople, I'll find a way to make it happen.

1) Read something daily to stay motivated and keep a positive attitude; 2) Call a friend or do routine housework when I'm stressed; 3) Stay focused on eating right and getting the proper exercise; 4) Get 8-9 hours of sleep.

Cardio 5x a week for 30-45 minutes. Strength train 3-4x a week for 20 minutes. Eat a 1,400 calorie plant-based diet. Reduce intake of white bread, white rice, potatoes, refined white flour and sugar. Consume lean meats.



The only time you mustn't fail is the last time you try.
