6/15 Meeting my plan. Got in a 2 mile walk before work. I changed my calorie goal from 2000 to 1800. I'm struggling to get 1500. Today I'm trying my first 24 hour fast. Everything I've read points to fasting being beneficial. I have a friend who has lost 48 pounds doing a low carb diet and intermittent fasting.

On plan except for calories. Can't seem to get enough and therefore I get the dreaded "you are not eating enough" message when I try to end my food diary each day. I think I'm going to drop my calorie goal from 2000 to 1800 and see if that helps.

6/10: Eating: Good Weight Loss: No Change Weekly Glucose: 112 Started walking 1.5 miles first thing in the morning.

6/9 Eating Good Steps - Avg is up to 6300 Workout - not yet Weight Loss - 4 lbs. Keeping carbs much lower than when I started. Had great weight loss up until the start of June. Slowed down a lot. Still struggling with the vertigo.

6/7: Didn't get my steps in due to weather. Hitting my goals for eating. Appetite is almost nothing. Blood sugars are great. I'm down from 65 units of insulin a day to five units.

Hi everyone. I'm 60 yrs old and have been an uncontrolled T2 since my early 30's. I weighed 500+ pounds by the time I was 45 and was told I would not see 50 if I didn't do something drastic. I had bariatric surgery and went from 500 to 295 fairly quick with my A1C dropping from 13+ to 6.5. In the last three years, I've…

To all those using the Libre FreeStyle monitors: I too had trouble with the sensors until I found the Sugar Patch. I've used the patch for over six months now with no sensor issues. The previous six months I had issues with four of the sensors. The patch lasts 7 to 10 days depending how active you are. You can get them on…

I drink a lot of coffee. I order from BuzzBox coffee. Coffee comes from Camano Island Coffee Roasters. It is organic, shade grown, and fairly traded. They roast and grind two days before shipping so it always comes in fresh. I get 2 lbs of my favorite, Guatemala, Medium roast and two lbs of a "Coffee of the Month". If you…

6/7: Down almost three pounds. Glucose avg. is 110. I'm close on the step goal but the vertigo is still an issue. Start back at the gym this week. Things going real close to plan. Having difficulty with a lack of appetite for the first time since bariatric surgery.

6/3 Hit my step goal each day this week. Average glucose level for this week is 108. I've been able to cut my insulin to almost a third of what I was taking. Lost 1 pound so far. All of this with a case of what is now mild vertigo.

I'm finishing week 1 with a 11.8 pound weight loss. My goals for June are: 1. 15 pound weight loss. 2. Minimum of 7500 steps a day 3. 3 work outs a weeks 4. Avg weekly glucose of 125

Feel free to add me. Just started back last week.

Highest Weight = 500+ Gastric Bypass - April 2008?? Lowest Weight = 278 Current Weight = 300 Doctor warned me that I would never see 50 if I didn't do something about my weight. I turned 60 in January! I was on 12 different medicines before the surgery to include high doses of pain killers and sleep medicine. Now, my…
