Hey I can log in again. I wanted to stop by and give you all a update.
As of Monday April 30th I have lost 116 pounds. A few of you might remember me, but in April of last year I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes. I knew then that I had to return to this WOE, and get serious about it.
So besides the weight loss I have good medical news. In Oct of last year my pcp halved my Insulin, and in Jan it was dropped. At my visit this week we agreed to discontinue the last of my diabetes medications. From here on out I will try to control with diet and exercise alone.
One month ago I started a serious cardio workout with recumbent bikes at the gym. In general I try to get at least 30 minutes of heavy resistance on the bike per day. The weight loss combined with the exercise has really lowered my insulin resistance...hence I no longer need the medications. I am still diabetic, but well controlled with this WOE.
I have decided to lose an additional 65 pounds and want to have that done by the end of summer, so wish me luck. |

That is the greatest news possible....the weight loss but, most of all, getting off the meds. I know it sometimes takes a severe wake-up call for us to get off our duffs. You're my hero!

Thank you all! It really has been a journey. I have to fight this body of mine every step of the way.....sort of beat it into submission:)
I really wish George had his new cookbook in ebook form...I have all the old ones and the DVD's.
anyone else GLAD that it is spring time and we can dust off our grills and get cooking? |
