Red Alert for me. I am gaining weight, and it needs to be reversed before it gets out of hand. Although still within 10 lbs of my goal weight, I seemed to have gotten into a mind set where I am eating too much snack food (and not tracking it accurately). I have said this before, and recently too, but I will re-double my efforts to effectively track food, weight and exercise. I will review my fundamental lessons from the "Prevent T2 Diabetes class" and hopefully reverse this trend.
Best of luck to my Fat Secret friends!

Do you have T2 Johnny or are you just trying to prevent it?

You can do it! I have a similar problem - I always seem to fall short of my goal by about 10 pounds. I think as the goal gets so close and so achievable I just ease up too much on the diet and often that breaks the diet. But you seem to be aware and know what to do to fix it. Good luck!

Thank you everyone for the encouraging comments. Shelly, two years ago my health insurance company advised me that they would pay for a year long YMCA Prevent T2 class (the YMCA class is based on the CDC prevent T2 curriculum). At the time I was about 250 lbs and my doctor advised me I was pre-diabetic, with some family history of T2 (grandparents). The only condition of payment was I had to complete the full 12 months. I signed on and it was a God-send. The lessons on tracking were the most important, followed by learning through tracking what high fat foods were most impacting my calorie intake (those being butter/margarine, ice cream, cheese, and most surprisingly to me, dry roasted peanuts). After cutting way down on those higher fat foods (that I was enjoying way too often), the pounds came off pretty quick, till I got down to about 210. I am an active guy, so the 150 minutes of brisk activity a week called for by the Prevent T2 program was no problem for me (I was usually between 300 and 500 minutes). One of the Prevent T2 lessons did revolve around the fact that when you lose weight, your calorie intake needs also reduce as well. So, at 250 lb, getting down to 1800 Cal a day caused good, consistent, weight loss, but at 210 lb, 1800 Cal seems to be my maintenance level. By tracking, I am really aware of when I eat more that I should, and the correlation of weight gain is really easy to see. During those times now when I neglect to track, I always put on a few lbs before catching wise and I go back to the tracking. I am two years into this journey and am pleased with the progress I make. If I keep the 206lb goal in mind, and keep working toward it, I will be successful.
All, Good luck on your journey's as well. Johnny O
