Do you think I will have to lose to start seeing a difference in my IR blood work and my testosterone. I've been trying really hard to get all this weight off, I'm down 12 lbs...but I'm definitely gonna get off a lot more and wanted to know when my blood work should start seeing a difference? Thanks.

I read yesterday that losing 16% of your body weight causes a 100% improvement in insulin tolerance. 100% is a LOT! I'm sure you'll start seeing improvement much earlier than that. HTH!

Here is a blurb about that:
A low calorie diet reduces insulin resistance in days even before much weight loss takes place. Ten to twenty pounds (5-10 kg) substantially helps glycemic control and a loss of 16% of body weight improves glucose metabolism by a 100%.
