Down in Dumps Up in Weight

I can’t believe it works!
So I’ve been consistently logging for over a week now, and I can’t believe it works! I’m down 6lbs so far. I’ve tried a lot of restrictive dieting in the past, for example extended juice fasts to lose weight since nothing else seemed to work. It’s nice to know that I can still enjoy the foods I like and lose weight as long…

Health related! I don't have to go to the Endocrinologist for 3 months!
My A1C went from 12.3 to 7.1. My glucose numbers are 150-170. This is much different than over 500 at the hospital. I had 5 viruses in my legs. Infection raises your glucose level considerably. I will be working hard to give up daily sugar.

LOSE WEIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
With Thanksgiving coming up, our Christmas decorating day the day after where we always have out snacks, and then all the holiday parties, it is my goal to lose weight BEFORE Christmas. I have NEVER done that before. I know it is a challenge but even if it is only a pound or two it is better than gaining.

NSV: Down 2 Dress Sizes!
Hey guys! So, I have some NSV today! I went window shopping to see if I can fit into any new clothes, so that I won't have to waste money on clothes that won't fit me, and I learned something new. :smile: 1. I used to wear a size 4x dress and could fit into a size 3x, but now I discovered that 3X's are too big on me, and…

Somewhere just past the middle of my success story (pics)
So I’m 46 years old and 5’8”. After COVID I topped out at 350.1 pounds. Since September of 22 I have been trying to lose the weight.

It was and is extremely hard to do this every single day. I was at my heaviest 4 months ago at 200 pounds and now I sit at 166lbs. 5”8.
