@mnwalkingqueen Thank you. Yesterday I had my follow up doctor appointment. I am officially no longer prediabetic!!! She said all of my labs looked great too. She did recommend putting me on a new medication for diabetes. Though said I don't need it for diabetes but it helps with weight loss. I declined her offer and I…

I could just cry. Yesterday was another bad day emotionally. I received another upsetting email. I was angry, I was crying, I felt lost and hopeless. I ended up talking it out and felt a bit better after. I am still a long way from the unfortunate situation I am dealing with from being resolved. This morning I got on the…

I am sorry I have not been on. It has been a very stressful month. I did not do any of my July goals - stretching and adding in yoga. But I have been doing well with weighing and logging my food. Exercise is just routine for me and I've been keeping up with that as well. I have blood work scheduled for Tuesday and a doctor…

Just popping in to say hi. Has anyone heard from NSK1951? I have been thinking of her a lot lately. I've been dealing with a lot of stress this month. The stress has my glucose all over the place. I'm doing everything right but am feeling the effects of my stress. I have not had the will to work on any of my new goals for…

@pdd1216 It is!!! This group used to be like that one a long time ago. Now the posts are far and few. I miss the way this thread used to be. But am glad I found the other one. Though I don't get on to post as much as I would like.

@Melwillbehealthy I hope you had a great time on your vacation! Where did you go? I try to pop in once a week. Nsk1951 is dealing with some major health issues so this has taken a back seat. I don't know where everyone else has been. I am part of a few other threads that are more active than this one. You should come over…

Just popping in to say hi. I don't have time to properly respond to everyone at the moment. I love Vermont and Maine! Beautiful pictures. I was working in the veggie garden yesterday and accidentally discovered a ground nest of some sort while weeding. They all came out and began swarming, I ran away quickly and didn't…

Just popping in to say hi and hope everyone is doing well.

Here is my dinner from last night.

@Carla_wfpb Thank you! I hope you had a fun celebration for Father's Day. @bisky Thank you. Yes, that is exactly it. Everyone's journey is different. I feel we shouldn't compare our progress to anyone else's. I believe when we do that we are just setting ourselves up for failure. The only person we should compare ourselves…

@nsk1951 Thank you for updating us. I am sorry to hear the oncologist declined the referral. I hope you are able to find a team quickly.

@magic71755 It's hard when we see other's on the same journey and reaching their goals quicker than we reach ours. I've been on my journey for over 2 years now. My cousin a few months ago had gastric surgery. She has surpassed the progress I have made in much less time. It stings a bit, I get it. But know you are on the…

Just a quick pop in to share... Sometimes I wish my progress was happening faster. Other times I walk past the mirror, get a glimpse of myself, stop and stare in awe. Today was one of those days. Here is my picture from my heaviest when I first started my journey compared with what I saw this morning in the mirror. It…

Sorry I have not been on here much. It's been a busy month. My goals for June: (same as May) - Weigh and log all my food - Drink more water - Take my vitamins daily (This one is finally starting to become habit.) - Spend time outdoors @nsk1951 I am so very sorry to hear about your results. Sending you love. Please know we…

I spent yesterday working in the veggie garden tilling and planting. I still have a lot more to plant. I ended the day just shy of 26K steps. Needless to say I am a tad bit achy this morning. @bisky I love the bunny card! I do have the cards around somewhere. When I find them I will take some pictures for you. Good luck…

@Melwillbehealthy Those are fantastic NSVs!!! You are doing amazing! @MovinNow Welcome! My advice is to make small changes at a time. Set yourself 2-3 achievable goals. Once you master those add in additional goals. I agree with what everyone else said. Slow weight loss is the way to go. You want to set up healthy habits…

A few months ago I attended a summit that Chef AJ hosted. In the summit she and many of the presenters stated that with a WFPBNO diet you don't need to calorie count. That it is impossible to over eat on vegetables. Well, clearly they have not met me. LOL I gave their method a try for several months. During this time I…

@Melwillbehealthy I am sorry you had that interaction with a doctor. You are doing a great job! Congratulations on your loss! Have you noticed any NSVs yet? (Non Scale Victories)

Reading this made me tear up. I am so happy for you and your accomplishments. You are amazing!!!

Just a quick check in. I went to my favorite nursery this morning and stocked up on some plants that I need to put into pots. It's been a week since I restarted using my food scale and logging everything I ate with more accuracy. I am so excited. I stepped on the scale this morning and noticed I am 1 lb away from my lowest…

Popping in to say hi. I hope you all are doing well. I am horrible with checking into the forums regularly. Tonight I made buffalo cauliflower for dinner. I air fried it. It came out delicious! A few of you were talking about allergies. I have been okay so far this spring until I was working in the garden on Friday. It hit…

@EssePi117 Welcome. Thank you for sharing your story. I am a big fan of taking body measurements and progress pictures once a month. I find being able to see the changes help. There are some months where the measurements or pictures don't show the progress that you are hoping to see. You would have to be okay with this and…

@Melwillbehealthy I have fallen victim to guess the amount as well. That is the slump I am in right now. Hence why it has been quite a while since the scale has moved for me. I get it. For me, it is time consuming and a tedious task. I really need to get better with that so I see the results I want. My other issue I…

@nsk1951 My apologies. I certainly did not intend it to read that way. @Melwillbehealthy I wouldn't worry about the 2lb increase. That happens to me from time to time. A lot of things can effect it and cause our weight to fluctuate. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will see that will change. If by chance it…

May Goals:* Weighing and logging food * Drink more water * Take my vitamins daily 5 days in and I am doing really well. Today I had the craziest munchies. No matter what I ate I didn't feel satiated. I dislike days where I feel like this. All I can do is chalk it up to one of those days and move on. One less than stellar…

I've been back to logging all my food and doing well with it! I'm proud of myself. My goal for May is going to be continue to log my food, focus on water consumption and continue with my exercise routine. @LilRock25 It sounds like you are off to a great start. I find being honest with my logging, even on bad days, helps me…

@mnwalkingqueen Oh my goodness, the key lime cheese cake sounds amazing. I love key lime! I really have to see if I can create a vegan version of it for special occasions. LOL I can relate on the eating. Last week my SIL was here visiting. It was not so much of what I ate but how much I ate. My glucose stayed within range…

Hi. I am sorry that I disappeared. I am horrible at checking in with the groups. I've been doing ok. Over the past few months I have been experimenting in the kitchen with recipes from my new cookbooks. I also changed up my exercise routine. I was eating mostly plant-based but on occasion would flip back to vegetarian. I…

Just popping in to say hi. My sister-in-law came up to visit us for a few days. I tried to stay mindful of what I was eating. We did go out to eat quite often and I ate more than I should have. I can feel that I gained just by the way my clothes are fitting and how I feel. Today I am getting back on track. I agree with the…
