hello everyone. I took a bit of time off to see about getting my act together. I hope I am finally there. I just put the food in to the food log for today and it was about 1000 more then I should be eating.
I went to a doctor and had some blood work done and he had good news. I am still insulin resistant not full blowen Type 2. I have looking at my body and I am discusted at how big my belly is. I know I know I need to get this weight off in order for me to conintue doing what I love to do and that is gardening. It is my one passtime I enjoy that gets me off my big butt and moving. My walking partner is doing better this year and so I may startwalking with my dog again. The stuff I get from the Vet is so worth every penny. My 9 yr old big dog is running around like she use to. Only when she gets tired does she limp. I know if I post often then I wiill be more likly to stay on plan. Hope everyone is haveing a good summer. Adyn

It is still just morning here. I am drinking water like crazy and trying to stay away from junk food and too much sugar. I know that this will bring on a headache when I cut the sugar down. Will post again later.Nyda

Hiya I'm totally in this with u, my 1st week back and I hate the feeling I get when I cut down on sugar, headaches, tiredness etc but it will pass. Feels good to be focused again, haven't had this determination for a long time!!!

hey all. tracy i am going to be here for the long haul myself. I need to loose a lot of weight and the first thing I find that I have to do is get focused on the truth of what I am doing, and make a change. I will problably not get off ceral all the way but I am going to cut way down. The scale was down a half pound this morning. I have kept my calories under 1700 by 10. that includs a slice of banana bread- later.

Hi Nyda...well done with the grocery shop!!!
I put off mine for a few more days because I knew I didn't want to be surrounded by temptations...I could have once had an emotional breakdown in the store as I just couldn't handle it but I got through it and like you came away with no junk foods. Spent more than needed but was all good foods to keep me going.

My calories are 1200-1400 through week and 1600 on weekends but only as a safety net to help me allow a drink or two of vodka/tonic after a week of work.
I went without social life this weekend though as again I was a bit worried about the scales.
