@Jimb376mfp , that's so great! Good for you! I've been T2 for 18 years now, hard to believe, been on pills and was on two kinds of insulin up until recently. With changes to my diet I was able to go to just the 24 hour Lantus. My doctor is thrilled. She's tried to add Metformin but my system doesn't handle it very well and if I can do better with my carb intake, I'll have fewer post meal spikes.2

@LinCharpentier, I put off insulin as long as I could, I was scared of it even tho I need it. Was on two different types, now just on the 24 hour insulin. Since I've cut my carb intake, I've managed to get my A1c down. My doctor is happy where it is, I'd like to get it lower. Diligence! I have high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol, too. My numbers are improving but not quite enough yet to warrant a drop in BP meds...yet! Glad you're feeling good! Think of how much better you'll feel physically and MENTALLY when you're able to keep your numbers in check WITHOUT meds!

I'm Jessica
50 years old, 5'7"
Heaviest weight 314 (2007)
Current Weight 192.1
Goal weight: 175 (less if my body continues to lose!)
This week's successes: Under my calorie goal every day!!
This week's challenges: Haven't started really exercising.
At my heaviest in 2007, I had gastric bypass surgery. It saved my life. I was depressed and spiraling out of control. I lost steadily for about 3 years, and held steady for another 3. Then the weight slowly started creeping back up. I lost weight down to 175# or so-- As of November of 2017, I was 215#-ish. I started a ketogenic diet because I knew I needed to purge sugar from my diet. I did it!!! I'm down to 192.1 as of this past Saturday. I look forward to this 1#/wk challenge. It feels good to be so much more in control of my eating. No cravings is the one thing I absolutely love about this way of eating and the reason I won't ever go back to a high carbohydrate diet. Many people can balance sugar/carbohydrates in their diets--I'm simply not one of those people. I currently eat 20 grams of less net of carbohydrates a day: my carbs come from my vegetables and occasional berries. I'm looking forward to continuing to be successful with this way of eating.6 -
Week 6 complete
Starting weight: 194.9
Goal weight: 165
Last week weight: 195.5
This week weight: 196.7
This period loss gain: +1.2
Total weight lost gain 2018: +1.8
This weeks successes:
It was not actually a bad week. I was running consistently at 193.6 until I weighted in Monday morning at 196.7. I think what happened over the weekend is I drank very little and the body was holding onto the water. I feel puffy. So I am OK with this. Down again today, yesterday was just a bad weigh in. I am still really just holding steady
This weeks challenges:
Break out of maintenance.

Do you think we will ever get off those meds. I think they put us on them and then give us something to work with that. I'm hoping to get a good A1C in april. Yesterday seen a 5.4 before supper tonight 5.5 so things are looking good. I'm trying to low carb no bread or whites today. But I need many of those days.2 -

Hey All,
I have decided I am done with being fat. I have been this way for much of the past 25 years with a few exceptions like for a year after my divorce. Remarried now and fat again! My niece is getting married August 25 and I have decided to use this as the date to aim for to reach my 50lb goal. This would mean 2lbs a week which may be to hard but it is a place to start!
Day 1 of this challenge
Starting weight: 186.4
Goal weight:135
Current weight: same
Total weight lost:
Todays successes - swam laps for half hour and did not eat those calories.
Tomorrows challenge - save my calories for dinner out!6 -
Hello everyone! I'm Tina. I have lost control of my body and I am so out of shape it's costing my health and time with my family. I have to get into shape...not just lose. I am only 5'0 and all of my life till my last baby I was a solid 115 -125.
For someone like my stature this is not uncommon. I literally feel like a prisoner in my own body. I can't wait to start this and feel amazing again.
Starting weight: 187
Goal weight: 115

I'm a couple days late on weekly weigh in as I was out of town.
This week's successes: Event though I was out of town, I logged my food every day and even managed to do yoga twice! Back in town and ready to jam.
This week's challenges: I was out of town, many outings and temptations. I went over my target calories for weight loss, but I still did way better than I would have done without counting. Gained, oh well, I'll loose this week!
Very happy with the way I dealt with this travel week and I'm ready to keep going.
Have a great day you bunches of losers!6 -
