gained .6 lbs in the last two weeks. some late night snacking and too much fruit at night. still have a 20+ weight loss since mid-May.

I lost 4.2 lbs last week--weighed at Palo Alto Medical clinic. started at 247.6 about 6.5 weeks ago. On a restricted low carb diet.

Still replacing sensors at a ridiculous clip; last one did not scan properly--from yesterday; 4 replaced; will ask for 5th. They do replace them but it is a hassle every time. Now on a 30 minute hold to contact them.

put on 1 lb during vacation; had two Abbott 14 day free libre sensors replaced; falling into some old bad habits--snacking; watching late night tv., etc. Need to get back on track.

Any view of Abbott Labs' free style 14 day sensors--two fell out the first day; another gve very faulty readings and had to be replaced! They want a ton of information on the phone--will try to get two more replaced!

lost my glasses on vacation--no second pair; missed great baseball game and had a "what-the=hell" terrible lunch at Hooters with my wife and a bunch of dirty old men, many of them racist, drank two large beers and terrible chicken wings and cold terrible curly fires as well as chips and melted cheese; felt disgusted with…

now on vacation for 50th wedding anniversary and down to about 224-225 lbs.--exercising daily at timeshare and continuing tracking foods and exercise with my fitness pal. Progress not perfection.

close to 20-25 lb. weight loss; on 50th wedding anniversary vacation in San Diego --still exercising daily and filling out my fitness pal.

How do I post a picture? not posting well here. Advice

I had joined the wrong team--75 year old diabetic on carefully constructed low carb, no sugar, no white flour diet, no evening snacking; three meals, started at 247.6 about 5 weeks ago; now 229.2; weighing and measuring my foods. That helps a lot; cutting out late night snacking.

told to give up metforming if blood sugars stay low. sensor for freestyle libre not working well.

I have lost over 18 lbs. in 5 weeks; joined my fitness pal about 3 weeks ago after losing over 12 lbs.; weighed 238.7; weighed in this week at 229.2; going on vacation to celebrate 50th wedding anniversary tomorrow, but intend to keep tracking my food; won't be able to weigh and measure everything. gave up one diabetic…

exercising daily and maintaining daily my fitness pal records; total of 18+ lbs. lost in 5-6 weeks. about 7 lbs. since tracking daily with my fitness pal in last 3 weeks. First low blood glucose reading today for my phase 2 diabetic situation; it was 50 fasting; had honeydew melon and imitation crab legs and it shot back…

Went on a one week retreat in San Jose but commuted to and from retreat; was able to eat breakfast at home and buy salads and chicken wings/breasts/ etc. at Safeway a mile away; lost another 2.5 lbs. Down to 229.2 as of last Tuesday, June 12; started at 247.6 Had a low fasting blood sugar this morning--first morning low…

Back from eight day retreat with most lunches and dinners at the Hayes mansion in San Jose; still doing my fitness pal daily; will weigh in at doctor's office tomorrow. did 51 minutes on elliptical yesterday and felt great to be getting back in shape. One day at a time, putting one foot in front of the other.

mskatz weighing in--started at 247.6; three and a half weeks ago; started my fitness pal a a little over a week ago and was down to 235.8 on doctor's scale at Palo Alto Medical Foundation. Joined this group more recently and weighed 231.7 on my scale without clothes yesterday, Wednesday June 5. Please to have lost weight…

will weigh tomorrow or Thursday; at an all day and 4 evening retreat at the Hayes Mansion in San Jose--40 minute drive for me from Palo Alto; having to bring my own lunches, and usually dinners too; a real challenge, plus exercise is a bit out of whack. doing m.y best within these limitations. diabetic blood sugars up…

I agree with those above 100%; consult a doctor; reduce calorie and carb input (below 100 carbs daily)possibly increase exercise moderately, especially resistance training and stop eating after 8 or earlier; nothing wrong or surpising about reaching a weight plateau; your body is adjusting to the lower weight.…

Hi. lots of good suggestions above; have you received your medicare card? If you have, it is going to save you a ton of money; if not, get it right away. I am 75 and have had phase 2 diabetes since 2004; recently my endocrinologist got me onto "trulicity" which is covered by medicare with optum rx--the long distance…

My weight management coach has emphasized to me two things: 1) identifying some bad habits that need to be "changed"; 2) maintaining consistency in whatever program you set up for yourself. I now track the habits I am tryig to change (no late night eating; no eating in front of the tv; no computer before breakfast; a cup…

Congratulations,Kyle, on your discipline and fantastic achievement with weight loss. Good for you to have started before you acquired phase 2 diabetes, something that accounts for approximately 50% of strokes and heart attacks. Have just started working with a trainer--only 3 sessions. but I appreciate the wisdom here,…

I tried join but did not succeed-- the first time there was a "join" button in gree on the page but not the second time it just said "op tions" and when pressed the only option was "leave group."

Thanks for the great feedback; as a food addict and phase ii diabetic, who had gained over 12 lbs. over a 6 month period and watch my A1c (measures average blood sugar over 3 month period) go from 6 (which is good) to 8.6 which is bad, I figured going "cold turkey" for awhile on white flour and refined sugar along with…
