Re: 1st weigh-in of the new year

[Guest guest]

I am really, really close to having 50 pounds gone since the middle of September. Monday is my official "weigh" day so I will know Monday morning wheter I've reached that milestone! I feel SO much better these days.One of my milestone markers is the medications that I can stop taking! So far, one blood pressure med is gone and my insulin dosage is significantly decreased. I am learning lots on this journey this time around. I have seen the direct effect that carbs have on my blood sugars. In fact, I am having to monitor my blood sugars so that they don't get too low.Saw my primary care doc on Friday. She has been with me thru this

weight-loss journey for about 10 years now. She is as thrilled as I am to have found something that is working for me. She tells me that I am getting closer to losing another med or two soon.I started exercising again this past week. Feels great to be able to move again!
