I started this journey at about 10 lbs higher than the dr scale of 178.. I had seen it at 180 sometime in the summer and knew I had to start doing something. Finding out and setting date for the first of the four full joint replacements ( shoulders/ knees) and having my a1c( blood sugars) come back " pre diabetic " shook me to find this app! , make appt with nutritionist, have hubby checked( same.. pre diabetic. Needs to loose) and to date it's been a bit of up and down with the weight but I've stayed consistent with way way way way less carbs and calories. I'm just figuring out that I do need to revamp my kitchen cabinets and stock things like chia seeds and flaxseeds( delicious crunch in salads) I need to explode new recipes as my husband is a meat potato kind of guy and truly looks forward to each meal.. tonight I have a monthly meet with 2 colleagues and we get Chinese food.. I haven't allowed myself any " cheats" so rather than be the " I can't eat that " girl, I'm going for it.. and tomorrow I will pound the water and eat less .
Dieting and changing ones metabolism to go from pre diabetic to normal blood sugars is not for sissies! Some days it's very uplifting some days, so boring! Thanks for my supports, good luck to all on your journey and welcome anyone wanting to change your life.
