Always! The dreaded 'in between' stage.

Either you're leaving a lot of details out of your posts or something is off. You said your co-worker lost 'inches' in the first week of taking metformin. Doubtful.

I've never heard of anyone doing that. I'm skeptical that it would be much help. I take it for diabetes, but never lost weight until I joined MFP.

This is why I love this group. You guys understand and can help. Thanks for the suggestion on looking back at exercise. I began at 20 minutes on the bike and now am averaging 45 and I've started pushing the speed a bit. My son says I'm being impatient. I should put away the 3X tops until I've lost another 10 and try them…

You have House for a doctor?! How cool. :)

Another vote for chickens. Food in the back of the pantry that is well past its use by date, mushy grapes, going-off milk, bread crusts, banana peels... They turn it all into lovely compost for the garden.

Fun when it happens.

Don't give up! You've done so amazing since you began. The last couple weeks were just a blip.

Store up the memory of this time in case you hit a slow phase and need motivation not to give up. And congratulations!

Congratulations on hitting your goal!

Congratulations! You actually lost 3 pounds!

When I started reading this thread I was happy for the op because she had a great attitude, was listening, and seemed likely to turn things around. Hopefully now that she has an eating method she likes, she can adjust her deficit so she loses more and regains that positive attitude.

Woohoo! This morning we went on a nature trail hike. It wasn't very long but lots of up and downs; I didn't need to stop and sit down once! Two months ago I would have been dealing with ankle/foot pain and being out of breath. Even if I hadn't lost an ounce, just being able to do things again makes this so worth while.

This is a very encouraging thread for Type 2s. Thanks! I made the mistake of thinking a specialist could do a better job then my doctor and went to an endocrinologist. He put me on statins (which really messed me up until I stopped taking them) because my cholesterol wasn't in the ideal range and wanted to prescribe an…

127 I checked pre and post workout to see if there was a difference, but it was the same.

Violet, what is craft service?

I'm keeping things simple: add 5 minutes to my exercise time each day.
