Leo: thank you so much for the information. I will try to get that book and read up on some of this stuff. I have not been to a dietician in about 3 years. So I kinda am not going by that anymore. I do the YoYo thing all the time. Ihave lost about 40 pounds in about a year and a half, so I would like to keep that off, so I am up to trying different diets or life changes. I do read a lot about diedetes and Glycemic index. So I think all the knowledge you get is very important to how successful you are. :happy:
Hey Skinny welcome to our site. We will be glad to just help with what we can and I had a cousin who was type 1, I am type 2 as well. I think the diet par tis so similar for eveyrone, it will be nice to have someone who knows what you are talking about to converse with. Again Welcome.
Callie: Good luc with the new information you are trying, let us know how well it works. :drinker:0 -

I am reading a book now called The Primal Blue Print. It follows on the philosophy I already believe in and sort of follow.
I am going to get even stricter with my eating and exercising.0 -
that;s the way to go Leo. Keep us informed. I did some more reading in the carbs solution diet by Dr. Eades. and he was talking about carbs make you retain Water And i have a lot of that problems. So I too will be more stick with my diet. Had no ideal. I like this little book, It get down to what we need to eat and and not so much on science. I don't like to read all Let the expert do that. I just want to know what to eat and how much. I still hve some reading to do tonight. IN the mean time I will just stay on his basic. diet. But i do so understand this carb business a lot better and why. I have the big book but too much in it. This little book is easyier for me to understand.
Well we are off to the store, will be buying some frozen green beans. And maybe some fresh if they look good. I heard that vets put dogs on green beans if they need to loose weiight. they will be good season up with bacon. Sammy might even eat them with bacon in them. Time for my breakfast of poached eggs,
Calie

Feel better today. We are in for some hot weather. I think they said 104 today and that is hot.
I am doing pretty good on my low carb diet. Still made some mistakes . But getting better. I decsided to have cold canned spinach with my tuna Salad and ate a whole can. And the sodium went thru the roof. over 1000 sodium. Carbs and calories were fine tho. Will have to stick with fresh or frozen veggies now. I had no ideal and I post it in my food diary from the data base . It was just wrong. Lesson learn today.

If you drink a lot of water the sodium shouldn't hurt you.0 -
I can say one thing about eating a whole can of spinach. It keep you from getting hungry and a good cleansings in the morning. I have been drinking a lot of water. Hope it helps in my water retention.
I need to start eating more fish. The tuna salad was pretty good today./ Have enought for lunch tomorrow. I found out today these veggies has as much fiber than the high fiber bread. He recomend eating half of a servings of fruit to keep the carbs down. So I will have 5 cherries tonight before bed. Marie0 -
Hello everyone! :happy:
I am just checking in, not much going on here, staying on the path to good health and that is about it.
Marie: It sounds like this diet is doing well for you, Keep up the good work. Take care!0 -

Yes, spinach is a very good cleanser........ :flowerforyou: :laugh:
For some reason my blood sugar is high in the morning (at least high for me). It has been ranging from 139 - 148 since Saturday morning. Could be stress, work has been stressful and busy hear lately.
Yes, I recommend veggies and fruit over bread any day...............0 -

Its a big group and all seems to be sincere. and jolly. The low carbs seems to be agreeing with me. I am going to put my dairy on pulic view as soon as my Daughter come out and help me do it.

We are all doing good over there. Just need to find out what is causing my blood sugar to spike.
The only thing that has changed is my stress level, so I think that is it.0 -

I have slso learn to visulized my Journey of weight loss. When I take a shower every morning I can just see the water wahing the fat off of me. Also I am visulizing my food plate about the size of my fist for I heard our stomach is about the sized of you fist. I am sure mine is much larger. 2 lbs down from last Monday so far.
My daughter and I are going out shopping and out to eat. For once I am not worrying about food. For I will get the waitress to bring me a doggie box and pack everything in it that is over my Fist plate, And have it for dinner tonight or tomorrow. This is a great world that we lived in. My blood sugar is doing great too. I don't have to do so much cooking. For It takes me a long time to eat a bag of veggies. I cooked enough meat for 2 servings and that cut down on cooking. Eat a lot of fresh berries for dessert [ i Will not over a fist size at night before bed. I am keeping my carbs down to 20 or 30 a day. Like I said this is a great world.......... Calie
Be Happy and keep up the good work. Eat clean, Keep your food chart up. Do some exercise. Post as regular as possible.0 -
Hi Marie, Its your good friend Debbie, hope you haven't forgot me! I certainly haven't forgotten you. Wow your group is growing and doing really well I might ad. Way to go JD what an inspiration your weight loss is.
As we all know weight loss is harder with an illness such as diabetes. I base my success on keeping my # in check and how I feel. I can't get too hung up on the numbers, only causes stress and depression and that doesn't help the diabetes, so its a cycle, but you all seem to be figuring it out and that's a good thing, so share your discoveries cause we can all help each other.
Marie we are still working on the remodel, one of those things where you do what you can as money and time allow, but we are getting there and its so nice.
I have just accepted a job offer and I am so happy and excited. So I will be pursuing a new career and its a new chapter in my life. God has given me my health back and I am so blessed. Its been a long six yrs. of being disabled to the extent of not being able to work and this is a real opportunity so I am elated.
I do plan to watch my diet more closely and get back into my exercise routine, as its never easy for me in the summertime, but I always do well in the fall., and it will be upon us soon.
Take care, and good luck to all,
Debbie0 -
Good morning everyone.............
I found the culprit of the high blood sugar readings...............
It was my meter, not me. I have 5 different meters and Saturday morning, took a test with each one of them and all of them read virtually the same (within a point or two of one another) except for one.0 -
Hello Debbie, no I have not forgotten you. So glad to see you dropping in on us. Do it more often. Lov e hearing from you. Still remodeling that is a job but so worth it. I see that the heeters have just about close down. Thats a sham, It was doing so good when you guys first move here. I still keep in touch with Cindy. I belong to another thread now where they came from another web site. I really like it, It is all about carb counting., and we weigh every Tues morning. A really nice bunch of girls. I had set my goal at 3 lbs for this week
and with a little luck I will make it. Help give me a push to make it in the morning.
Keep in touch Debbie...................Marie0 -
I am signing up to participate in a Diabetes fitness event in Savannah. It's on October 17th. I am going to just do the 5k walk but they also have cycling and kayaking too! If anyone is from Georgia (I'm in Warner Robins) do you maybe want to participate with me?? You can do teams or I'm just going to go by myself (which seemed like a bummer). Below is the link if anybody wants to check it out or maybe do something in their area.

I don't have diabetes (yet?) but my mom, sister and aunt do so it's a cause very near and dear to my
If anyone's interested just PM me. I'm not sure if we can give out private email on the site.
Thanks for your time!0 -
Thanks K2 for the information. I live in Texas so I don't think I can attend. thats sound like a good program. I have 2 cyber friend in Ga. Must be a wonderful state. But ao is Texas. Have fun and lets us know how it turn out.......... Calie0

Hi Marie thanks for the warm welcome. I'm back and this time to stay. I will begin working full time after yrs of being disabled, and I am so excited for the opportunity, doing the work I love and seeing old co-workers it's more than I ever dreamed possible.
I have written a blog to share and hopefully inspire, and started a group under motivation and support called "coming full circle". This group is to give encouragement, share a laugh and best of all form lasting friendships. Still I think its great we here have so many groups that strike a cord with us and help us in our journeys and its very real and very personal for all of us. Clearly its support meets our every need and that's great so its so good with that all said to be back in touch.
I am pleased to say that only a 4 lb. gain for me since March so I don't think that is too bad and sugar levels are in the norm range today and I'm feeling good. I wish the same for all of you.
I look forward to knowing you all a little better and please share and continue to share. I am diabetic type 2.
So glad Marie to have this awesome support here.
have a great day!
