For all you youngsters out there (under 50) this goes to show you at any age with determination and discipline losing weight can be accomplished. Kudos to you!

You will if you eat the right amount of calories, add some exercise and have fun discovering how much discipline you can summon up. Can be a fun 6 month trip if you make it one.

Sounds like a great guy.

140 after eating and 120 two hours later, gets me giggling. If I eat the 50 carbs at night there is no way after 2 hours I will always be under 150 which is my personal goal. So what, my last A1C was 5.3. I am shooting for even less now that I am dieting. I can't use metformin due to kidney issue. The only medicine I take…

My suggestion would find a couple of really good cooking books with the emphasis on Mediterranean and/or low carb ( I am type 2 and use a great diabetes cookbook with great tasting recipes). If he really enjoys the taste of food and cooking he should react like the proverbial kid in the candy store. If not then there are…

You need two things to lose weight, knowledge and discipline. This program provides the knowledge and if you need support to help with the discipline part you can find some here, but discipline is self-induced. This place will help the plan but you have to commit to it and follow through. I use it on my windows phone as…

Makes a great barf container.

Have to buy another belt as I am on the last hole on this one. I might just drive a nail through it and make another hole. I feel so ToolTimeTim like. LOL

I have 3 excel spreadsheets and log on my windows phone. The Doc likes all three and being retired I have time to fiddle. On one sheet besides the glucose readings, I log calories, miles jogged, net calories and carb, sodium, protein and fat intake. My cardiologist appreciates this one. Makes you feel an important part of…

Thankfully you did the right thing. CHF has been an issue with me for a long time. Had a defib put in as a precautionary measure as none of my arteries can be stented or bypassed any longer. It's all about attitude, lead a healthy life and do as much exercise as you can. I am doing hour on the treadmill every day and its…

Eventually I think you will find a balanced diet based on counting calories will be easier to stay on and healthier. I have been off and on diets since the 70's. I was on a low carb diet before anyone hardly knew about them thanks to a friend who was a scientist at Miles Labs. I have found counting calories gives me the…

If you have to ask you probably can't afford one. ;)

Good for you!!!

Joined up here in September and have lost over 10 lbs since and prior to that almost 20 more this year. I am 64 y/o retired and have an inherited heart disease that was diagnosed in 1997. Last year I was rejected for a heart implant because of peripheral artery disease. Doctors told me to not worry about annual physicals…

Patbee:I have type2 also and am on 1200 calories. Usually eat 1400-1500 and treadmill off 250 to 300. At night I take 22 units of levemir. So far no trouble with blood sugar. Am losing about what I expected 1.8 lbs a week. I have checked my glucose level more often just to monitor it closely. Friend me if you want to talk…

Do some online meal research, especially mediterranean meals. Lots of flavors and not a lot of calories and a big variety of ways to prepare, certainly not boring. I am diabetic so I have cookbooks that cover that issue too that are low card and low caloried and delicious. There are oodles of cookbooks out there to help…

Oh wow every meat is great grilled but so are portabellos. A little olive oil and garlic and toward the end some fresh parm sprinkled on top to melt.

It will be 3 years this December after smoking off and on since 1966. Not even going to add up the years LOL. Cold turkey was the only way I could stop. Also dropped sugary beverages. I still want to take just a few puffs but I know what a few will turn into. Feel free to add me if you like. Oh and good luck.
