Izzy, WAY TO GO!!! You should be so proud of yourself! Congratulations!! I haven't lost a single pound in a month. 242 since October 19th, actually fluctuating a bit, a pound up or down every few days. And I know I have nobody to blame but myself. Still making good food choices, but not logging anything. And, I haven't…

I have to add something to this, as great as it sounds: THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR EVERYBODY!!!! I am diabetic, and if I only ate 3 oz of meat and/or dairy a day I would be in a heap of trouble! Same goes for eating fruit and veggies only as a snack. My snacks are about 100-150 calories each, and about 15 grams of carbs and…

Kind of discouraged today. I actually gained a pound last week. Honestly though, not surprised. Things are still so chaotic here. I've had so much on my mind (boiling all our water, helping out our neighbors, volunteering all over town...) I haven't been keeping my food journal. And when you're out running around all day…

For the first time in months, I have lost no weight this week. But that is OK. We've been doing everything we can here to stay positive. It's hard to be stuck in the house all day for days on end. But at least we're blessed enough to still have a home. So many others are much less fortunate. Please pray for South Carolina!…

Way to go!! Hope to join you in "One"derland soon :smiley:

Back for my weekly check-in :smile: I have noticed myself starting to slack off in the logging department. And that's a major no-go, I have to keep my sugar levels on track or else I'll end up on medication that I don't want to be dependent on. I still managed to lose 3 pounds this week, but I have a feeling that if I…

Happy Monday everybody! After the huge success during the first 12 weeks I've decided to stick around for another 12 :smiley: I'm under no illusions, and I'm fully aware that dropping another 35 pounds during the next 12 weeks is probably not going to happen. At some point, this weight loss is going to slow down, even…

I did it!!! I stepped on the scales this morning and felt like a million bucks! Had a doctor's appointment today for my 3 month follow up since my type 2 diagnosis in June, and my doc had to look a the numbers twice ;-) Not only have I lost over 50 pounds in 3 months, but my A1C has gone from 7.1 to 5.3, and my…

Good morning all! Guess I'll be the first one to post results this week. I am so stoked about a personal non-scale victory I achieved last night & wanted to share with you all: I've been walking just about every night this month, and last night my map my walk app told me I broke the 100 mile mark for this month. When I…

You can still join, this is an ongoing challenge :-)

Seems there are a lot of birthday festivities going on these days. LOL I myself had a birthday last week, and between a girl's night out and THREE birthday parties with cake I am amazed the scale even moved at all. So this week, I am back on the wagon, packed my breakfast, lunch and snacks for the office and will be…

I have several NSV's - Fasting sugar levels down from ~ 155 to ~ 95 each morning for the last 4 weeks - BMI down 42 to 37 in just 44 days (still a long way to go, but making HUGE progress) - I can easily do my 3 laps (total ~ 5K) around the neighborhood each night without having to stop for a break. Used to get winded…

Hey everybody! Just wanted to send a little motivational post your way. I joined this challenge because last month I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. When I weighed in during my routine physical on 6/16/2015 I was at my highest ever weight of 301 pounds. I have always been overweight, but had never had any issues with…

This is incredible!! What an inspiration you are indeed! I am only at the beginning of my journey to a healthy self, started 2 weeks ago and have dropped 17 lbs already thanks to a radical change in my diet & walking each day. Congratulations, and I hope to be able to share the same type of amazing results one day! Gabi
