I'm done with relationships for awhile. I agree with jruch23. Less drama and can save money. I'm just now starting to file my divorce paperwork with my ex. We were together for 14 years. She was a single mom with two kids, who I now call my own. My son's g/f keeps telling me that I should go look for someone. It's just not…

Wow, that's impressive. I'm sure you're eating maintenance calories now. Has it been hard to stay within your goal weight once you reached it after all this time?

Wow. Interesting read. I actually had to stop reading halfway through because I got the gist of his explanation. And that is, GREAT IT WORKS FOR HIM ON HOW HE DOES IT. :smile: I, for one, count calories, measure food to eat at a caloric deficit while TRYING to stay under or at 20-25g net carbs. I've been doing this for a…

When I started at 267 pounds in August 2017, I looked up my normal weight range on the BMI chart. According to one chart, it's between 125-165 for my height of 5'9". So I told myself that I would set my goal to be on the high side of that range of 165. The last time I did a diet was the Weight Watchers diet a few years…

@kim_m_kk I dropped fenofibrate because I wasn't keen on getting gallstones as a side effect. What I did do was substitute the fenofibrate with fish oil pills. Right now, I'm taking the Kirkland Fish Oil pills from Costco. They contain about 300mg of Omega-3. I take one in the morning after I eat breakfast, and one after…

I would stop taking the Glyburide. It's almost the same medicine as the Glimepiride I was taking. That should bring up your blood sugar readings a little.

I was diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic at the end of July 2017. I had an A1c of 10. My BG reading at that time was around 230 mg/dL. My doctor told me to go on a low carb diet. I Google'd around and found keto. Doctor prescribed me Lantus, Metformin 1000mg, Glimepiride and Fenofibrate for my high triglyercide levels of 327.…

Thought I come in here and say hello! I've been doing keto since August 2017. My starting weight was 267 lbs, and I've lost 55 lbs so far eating on 1530 calories, 20g net carbs and exercising. Lowered my A1c from 10 to 5.5 and my triglycerides from 327 to 93.

I started keto at the beginning of August 2017 after being diagnosed by my doctor as being a type 2 diabetic. My A1c result before going on keto was 10, and my triglycerides were 327. My doctor said I should go on a "low-carb" diet. So I Google'ed around and found keto because it allowed me to eat my favorite foods, such…
