Feeling Better at Minus 59.5 Pounds

decotterell · April 2015

I started MFP on July 7, 2014, after a doctor appointment in which my lab values were awful. As a diabetic, I knew that I was increasing the risk of serious complications. My A1C was almost 8.0 (target less than 7.0 for diabetics), and my LDL was 101 (target less than 70 for diabetics). Not to mention my weight was 219.5 (5'7" tall). My initial goal was getting my labs in order, weight loss just be an added benefit. My last doctor appointment had my A1C at 6.8 and my LDL at 57. I have been maintaining a weight of about 160 since February this year. I hope this is an encouragement to someone. Success is possible. I thank God every day for the improvement in the way I feel.

Congratulations I too have been using healthy eating and exercise to keep my levels in line and to try to keep of meds as long as I can. I know it will be a life long battle. It can be hard when you have days you're tired and the whole family can eat without care but you have to feel great about yourself right now -keep it up !
