Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi Kim, That is GREAT NEWS! Have you heard of the weight loss walking club yahoo group? I also joined that group, since I am trying to lose weight and get my life back in shape. It is an awesome group, with so much more than just talking about weight loss and walking. There is a lot of Chatter about many different things as well as encouragement! These ladies have been a huge help to me and such an inspiration. Some of them walk 2-4 miles a day! They also have given me a lot of advice on eating, exercise and other things It is a really great group. This is the link, I hope it works, if not you can just type it into the group search and find it if your interested. weightlosswalkingclub Keep up the momentum and I am so happy for you! Dermer FourPoint Group, Director Cell- jessicafpg@... www.rjkdermer.fourpointmoms.com " To get to one's success, there are many roads. Start constructing the road of yourself, today. " -- Good News Hi everyone, a week ago Friday I had a Dr.'s appointment with the results of my HbA1c and other stuff. Dr. said my numbers were not good and I would have to go on insulin in the next couple of months if things didn't improve. She prescribed generic Glucovance (5 mg glyburide and 500 mg metformin combo) once daily and 20 mg citalopram (generic Celexa, an anti-depressant). What a difference! In less than a week my glucose readings went from 250 average to 131! I am testing more, started walking 30 minutes 4 days a week and eating less and tracking what I do eat. I can't believe the difference in my appetite (I think that's due to the Celexa) and sugar levels. I am serious with this now, the previous time I went to the Dr.'s, the one I saw that day basically said I wouldn't make it to 60 if I didn't get things under control. I am 42. When I get my tax refund I am going to join Curves and either Weight Watchers or go on Medifast for a couple of months. I need to remove about 50 lbs.
