    Got on the scale and faced the damage I have done over the last month.

    Welcome I'm also a diabetic. Still on oral meds, But if I don't smarten up I'll end up on insulin This is my last chance, I kind of begged to stay off it this last time. So my next A1C better be good. Let's help each other along on this. We face a lot of the same problems. Probably high blood pressure, cholesterol I also have congestive heart had a stint put it. But feel great.

    See you lighter

    @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.

    @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! :)

    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.

    Take it off while your young I'm also only 5 feet been chubby since I had my second child and that's 44 years ago. Don't do that kick it in the butt now.

    I'm just coming in from doing soup and sand. at Legion Had 49 for lunch so pretty good. And all I had was a bowl of Chilli with a bun.

    Seen a nice B/S count low carbing is working. Tops tonight.

    See you all lighter.

    Never too late to try and lose a Pound a Week and join the Challenge. You just won’t have 52 weeks but there are still 46 (?) left.
    WELCOME!
