Hello. I hope everyone else is well. I'm going to drop out of this challenge. Apparently my blood sugars spiked huge at my doctors appointment on Friday and it was a rough day/weekend to say the least. I was given Insulin, at least through the weekend and my numbers are still just so high. I'm not feeling well, but no…

@lindamtuck2018 Yoga kicked my butt. I waddled outta there. 😄 Today I was able to speak with a local Pharmacist about Managing my Type2 Diabetes. She really helped me a lot and now I see my Primary Doctor tomorrow, I can share her information with him. Hopefully he listens. 👍

I got most of the Bingo Card filled. 🎉 What is an NSV though? I'm also not great at - sharing What I Do, because it's nothing out of the ordinary. I just do what works for me. 😉 Share a Tip for Increasing Activity: I went Out of My Comfort Zone yesterday and joined a Yoga class for 1 hour. I was able to increase by adding…

AWESOME WORK EVERYONE!!!

As for this Bingo card, I have Line 1 Across the Top. Breathing for 5 min., Dancing More than 5 minutes (until my lower back and hip starts really hurting.), Eating 5 Vege's, etc. Sorry, I can't remember them all without looking back at it and losing my reply here. lol. 😁 How is everyone else doing?

Monday Weigh-in: tinaBawesome CW: 237.2 PW: 238.3 🌞 Went for a nice walk with my dog on Saturday. It was 81 degrees in Wisconsin. Perfect day for a walk around our small city here. Now today - is another story. 🌧 🌫 lol.

Ugh...Super frustrated here. How many times does it take to get this right? I bought a Compact ReliOn Blood Glucose Monitoring System kit from Walmart, a few weeks ago. I just tried it this morning (I know, procrastinator.) and tried 3 times without success. First time, not enough blood. Second time, I got the Error…

Hey everyone, Just checking in, was made aware that I haven't said anything to the group lately. I don't have much positivity to share, so I have just been reading your posts and not sharing myself. I'm not about to bring the group down. I hope everyone else is well. (Just how I'm feeling right now.)

@rheddmobile I forgot to add that YES, I currently have the tingling usually in my feet and Yes, my vision has been off, getting blurry at times. I just have so many more health problems going on too, that I think I overwhelm my own Primary Doctor. 🤷‍♀️ At least he always acts overwhelmed when I'm there to see him.

@rheddmobile I have never heard of LADA before, but sounds VERY SCARY. My last A1c was calculated at 384 (not 500) but closer to 400. Either way, probably not good, right? At least according to my Ob/gyn, she was worried for me. So that's what I get confused about. Are people checking this A1c or bg=blood glucose right?…

Hello, I'm new - received a referral to this group from a member that reached out to me, on a post I made about "Managing my Diabetes Type 2". Thank you. I appreciate that. My name is Tina. I live in southern Wisconsin and have been searching for local Workshops, Classes, Events, etc. in my area without success. I was…

Say, does anyone here eat at Odd hours throughout your days? Do you eat Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner on a regular basis? My days are all over the place. I don't sleep through the night. I'm up every 2 hours now to urinate, because I drink so much water throughout the day. I feel So Dry Everywhere. I have Diabetes Type II…

@rwood566 Yikes, you only have a 💩 every 4 - 5 Days? That can't feel good on your body. Do you need more Fiber in your life? I'm no expert, only that I could feel your pain, because if I don't go Everyday, my stomach gets bloated and I feel awful until I do. For some reason, lately I haven't been going everyday like…

@Pickles175 Great photos, Super job!!! 💫

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Ouch, that sounds painful. I hope you feel better. Also, my son just turned "16" in September too and only still has his temps, but getting his driver's license in December, makes me feel really old. lol. The time sure does fly by.

Thank you for the group referral. I did join you. 😊

WOW - again, thanks so much for the Awesome advice! I can't believe you took the time to write this all out for me. I really appreciate it. I'm aware social media isn't the end all to be all, but I do find some really kind, understanding, thoughtful people, that are willing to reach out with their own experiences and…

Wow - this was a lot of wonderful information. Thank you for taking the time to write me about this. I will take notes on what you suggested, especially about checking my blood sugar. I bought a quick, compact one from Walmart the other day, because I was desperate to see where I'm at. I was last checked at my ob's office,…

Yes I have. Unfortunately my insurance only covers a teeny tiny %. I have been told to use different lingo though - "Educator", instead of a "Nutritionist". I still have to call about that. I also asked my Primary for a Referral to an Endocrinologist, but he wants to see me first. I don't understand why, since I'm not…

This is kind of a weird question, but does everyone Weigh themselves With or Without Clothes? Also do you wait until you have a bm 💩 for the day? I notice a difference between both, so I choose the latter.

My weigh-in for 10/4 PW: 240 CW: 238.3

1. I was actually a skinny and active kid. I walked everywhere, until I got older and got my Driver's License that is. Then it was all downhill from there. My friends and I would ride around and eat crap. Falling into my 20's, I started Stress eating and didn't care about myself as much anymore. I also started getting some…

I chose Mondays, because it's the start of the week for hubby to go to work and our son to go to school. I'm at home, so I make hubby's coffee and drive son to school anyways. Since I'm up, why not weigh-in. lol.

Sorry if I'm asking this too early, but What exactly happens tomorrow with us NEW members? I read there will be a new chat on the 3rd, but wondering if we have to do anything in particular tomorrow? Thanks.

Awesome!!! I need to figure out my newer watch, so I can start tracking again too.

YaY - I'm Official!!!!! 👏

🙋‍♀️ I'm not official yet, but I'm hoping Megan adds me soon. I just asked to be added. 😁 Let’s get to know each other! 1. Tell us a little about yourself? Hello, I'm Tina (46), married on Halloween 🎃(18 years ago), we have a 16 year old son and a Pug-mix named Murphy. 2. Why are you on this journey? I was recently…

Megan - I would love to be on your group - the "Downsizers". (I think I might have already signed up too, whoops.) TinaBawesome Mondays I'm terrible with numbers, but I'm sure that you can see I lost almost 60 lbs. so far. 😄

Yep, that's me. Just turned 46 in August. I lost 54 lbs. so far. Looking forward to losing 100 more. I KNOW that I got it this time around! Feel free to add me, if you are on regularly and want to keep each other Motivated. 😊

Hello, Tina from WI. I could use some more Motivation! I just turned 46, have lost 54 lbs. so far and have another (at least) 100 to go. I have some health ailments that get in my way, but I'm determined to keep losing. Feel free to add me if you want. Thanks.
