80 today!

THIS IS AWESOME!! I sent in my application!

91 today - and that means an entire month with FBS readings at or under 100 (one stinking day at 100)!

Gonna have to try this one! Sounds great!

Thanks! Ordered a set for my beast!

I've been trying to tempt my wife into starting too. Not sure if I'll ever convince her, but I'm gonna keep trying!

That is double awesome!

88 today.

Finally managed to find something to use my Bento for! Leftover Eggplant Parmigiana, roasted cauliflower and green beans. Can't wait for lunch tomorrow!

So I've been doing some research on this. I think the big hurdle will be paying for it. But I still won't let myself tell me no!

I want that sticker! Awesome!

Yay! Nice number! Sleep and remembering to take meds are always good!

I'm LCHF also, but more carbs than many here. I set my goals to 15% Carb, 60% Fat and 25% Protein. I try to keep carbs under 100g per day (except when I do some serious exercise). I take Glyburide 1.25mg and Metformin HCI 1000mg in the morning and and evening. I know that the day will come that I need to drop my carb…

Thanks! And maybe your body is getting more efficient at handling the occasional carb load. I was at 83 today.

Nicely done Ken! 91 today for me

88 today.

Gail - I think improvement is the key here. You have shown improvement and if you continue on the path you are on you should continue to show improvement. Keep it up! In the end you have to find what works best for you and what is sustainable. I know some go way lower on carbs than I do. I find for me I have to know I can…

Wow! You are doing great! The transformation is stunning! Thanks for sharing - I love the success stories as they really help me when I need motivation.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Nice shot @CycleCarolina!

So sorry Ken! You are probably right that you need the better numbers vs. not medicating for now. Maybe when you get closer to your goal weight things will be better. Take care man!

87 this morning.

Thanks for the info @BarneyRubbleMD! I switched fingers and getting a sample is MUCH easier!

You offer some great advice and I love that you supported it with results. Thanks for sharing! You have done a great job and you are looking great!

I was wondering the same thing yesterday. All of a sudden he's gone. Sure hope he comes back - he offered a lot to the conversations.

98 today - up a bit from yesterday but still under 100. I think I've seen this conversation before, but does it matter which finger you use? My 2 normal victims are getting so calloused that I can't get a dropout of them and I had to switch to a new finger. It doesn't seem like it would matter - but maybe one of my fine…

Wow! That is well worth celebrating! Every morning my son has me drive him through a drive thru to get him a breakfast sandwich. Every day he eats about 2/3's of it and then asks me if I want the rest. Old Ron would have snarfed it right down. New Ron says no every day. Sometime's I lie awake at night thinking about those…

I'd think you'd be great at this too Carly! You are very articulate and seem to really have a heart for others. It would be great to see you also chase this dream. I have to think those of us that have overcome health issues related to food and eating disorders would be the best kind of people to help others with the same…

That is a great idea! I'll sit down and do that. Thanks!
