I did a similar thing. 2 years ago 320 or so now 230, with a goal of 210, which was my weight in high school. I go to the gym, work on cardio and watch my food intake. I still eat bad food, just not as much. My diabetes is almost non existent and should be completely gone by the time I get to my ideal weight.

I know how difficult it is to make the commitment. Congrats to you, keep on, the changes you've made will keep you on the right path.
