Broke 180 lbs!

1

I am feeling pretty good today. After being 193-195 lbs for a few years, today I finally broke 180.
179.4 lbs :smiley:

My diet has changed a lot in the 5 weeks or so since I was diagnosed as Type 2, one sandwich for lunch instead of two, two slices of pizza instead of five, I have only had 1/2 a can of pop twice in 5 weeks, rarely eat chocolate anymore (just once in a while when I get a bad craving so I don’t decide to binge some day)
plus the 1/2 hour on the exercise bike five days a week.

Nice to see some positive changes :slight_smile:

Way to go!!! :slight_smile: Weight loss is not exactly the easiest thing there is, so feel very proud of yourself, and find your motivation. :))) We have a great group called “The TuDiabetes Weightloss Team” which is great for seeing how everyone’s doing, and staying motivated! :slight_smile: Proud of you!

GOOD FOR YOU!!! Sounds like you have made some pretty positive changes for yourself. I especially like the chocolate idea, I think I’ll try that, just having a little when I crave it so I don’t binge. That’s my problem now. Anyway- CONGRATULATIONS!!!

That’s wonderful!! I have made drastic changes in the past month since I was diagnosed T2. I was quite surprised I haven’t had terrible cravings yet – even with my daughters daring to sit and eat Ben and Jerry’s right in front of me!! :confused: I will be absolutely THRILLED to get to 180 – and on down. :slight_smile: It really makes you feel good to make positive steps forward like that! One day at a time, I guess! :slight_smile:

Yes, you can do it!! I started out at 248, and I’m now 186! I hit 186 this morning… :slight_smile: Haven’t been that weight in a long time, and I’m pretty darn excited… :slight_smile: Low carbing has been a godsend to me.
