in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone my name is Danny. I started my weight loss at the heaviest I have ever been 339 this was in May of 2013. I found out that I was Diabetic. I started meds and of course got yelled at by my doctor. Since I have lost 40 pounds which is rather slow but its progress. I am looking for support and Motivation. I find I lack the energy or drive to go to the gym which would give me the boost I need to continue to loss. My love Sweets is crazy as well but good news is my Diabetes is every much under control and my A1C is 5.9 Down from 9.8. I found this message board by accident but maybe by fate. my goal weight is around 215 but my ultimate goal is to just be happy in my own skin.

Thanks Everyone..

    Great job getting your A1C down! I recently found out my blood sugar is borderline and that really opened my eyes. Did you cut back on carbs all together? How did you get it under control so quickly? Sorry for the questions! Super happy for ya!

    For all about dietary fiber... If I can find my paper and scanner I will scan it in... But basically think of weight watchers with points but your points go off fiber and you have so much for this meal so much for that... I don't follow it any more really bc it's a pain but it does show you to eat a lot more than you do...
