Thought I'd check in this afternoon. Seeing a Diabetes specialist was the best thing I ever did. He took me off one med that was causing low blood sugars and put me on an injectible medication that does curb appetite and helps weight loss. I still have to do my part. The turning point was the iPhone and finding this app…

Congrats on the 6.5 A1C, gjspiller! I have noticed a change in my numbers once I started this journey in earnest. Wow what a difference exercise has made. We'll see what the Dr. says at my May visit. I'm hoping that the liver enzymes are better. My daughter is Type I diabetic on an insulin pump and has been working to get…

I had instant cream of wheat with dried cut up apricots, a 1/4 cup of whole milk and a teaspoon of dark brown sugar - 253 calories total. Then I did an ea sports active 2 workout - nine week challenge - moderate level. I try to change up what I have for breakfast but the above is one of them in the rotation.

This is a really interesting thread for me. A friend challenged me to run a marathon with her next year because she knows that I've been trying to lose weight and become more fit. I really appreciate the links and comments about form because I really want to protect my shins and joints. I've been trying the Walk to Run…

mdesider Don't give up definitely. Even if you don't lose as much as you think you need to by your deadline, what you will have lost by then will still make a difference. My daughter in law is graduating with her MBA in May and her mother, who is very elegant, is coming. She hasn't been here since 2006. I know I can't be…

The scale can be defeating because of the weight fluctuations. I like to pay attention to how my clothes are feeling. I purchased black pants for concerts last summer. They were too tight when I tried them on. We wore Halloween costumes for the October concert so I didn't wear the pants until December. They fit pretty…

Great to read what everyone is doing! I started the EA Sports nine week program just after the first of the year. I chose Easy because of a very sedentary lifestyle. I got stuck in Phase 2, can you believe it? I did finish Day 22. I started all over again - still easy. Am I nuts for doing that? It does seem to be going a…

It's good to read what everyone is doing. Today was another couple of times with Mountain Climbing. That exercise is really finishing me off! My cats are hearing a lot of bad words during them. Do they ever get easier??? I'm in the second phase of the nine week program at the Easy level and I have to say, I have been…

Got a new sensor bar and it didn't work either so I was using candles again. But yesterday was my birthday and I bought myself a wireless sensor bar! Now the cats won't be able to chew wires. Today is a rest day for me with EA Sports. So far I like the intensity. I started out easy. The sprints and the fitness trail things…

Great to get the encouragement! I'm still going strong. I completed the 4th day of the 9 weeks. The hardest part for me are the core exercises. My ads are pathetic. I sure hope they improve. My Wii Sensor bar stopped working on New Years Day and I was determined to get my workout in. I discovered that 2 tea light candles…

I'm in. I just purchased it this week and did my first workout yesterday. Can really feel muscles today. Looking forward to continuing! QPeace
