Excellent!

That's tremendous!

I must say, you have accomplished a lot in a short time.
To what do you attribute this improvement to ?

Congratulations!

Earthworm, strict adherence to a good diabetic diet, exercise and faithful taking of my medications every day, at the same time every day. I've dropped almost 30 lbs which has certainly helped also.
I made controlling my diabetes a conscious effort....every day, and with every bite of food I put into my mouth.

I have to make this a lifestyle change. Now that my weight is coming down and my BS levels are looking good I know I have to maintain this healthy diet and exercise for my lifetime. I see my doctor on the 19th to discuss my lab results. It is my hope that some of my meds will be lowered if not discontinued entirely. He had hinted at my last visit with him that if I continued on this path a change for my meds was very possible.

Good for you, congratulations.

Fabulous! Keep it up! We're all in this together, and seeing such wonderful results from you is inspirational for those of us trying to do the same thing.

Congratulations!

how wonderful! and encouraging for the rest of us!

Way to go Liz. I have the same goal of getting off these darn pills. I agree wholeheartidly that it does take a lot of efffort, and it won't be easy. I look at my kids and realize that even on my down days, I need to do it for my health, and to be an example to them. My son Conner even asked when we were going to do some yoga again. Things like that remind me that I have a very small window of opportunity to start my children down a much healthier path than I have gone down.

Inspirational in spades..
But I have back-slidden ( a new word?)..
Last years E (snow removal and the E bike) are not present and/or down...
I'll have to dream up some new excuses...
A good long walk and a little less fat in the diet....this may work...

That is just excellent news Liz. I also got some good news today. I have noticed that since I came off the Victoza that I seem to be in better control since then. This morning, when I got dressed I found that my pants seemed really loose and lo and behold, when I checked my weight, I had lost almost 25 lbs in the last 4 weeks. I was completely shocked and very pleased.

I attribute a lot of the success to the people here and these forums. Thanks to everyone!!!

Thanks all. I want you all to know that if I can do this anyone can. I'm addicted to food. It is my comfort. I love making it and eating it. My favorite channels are Food Network and the Cooking Channel. I collect cookbooks. But I found something in my life more important than comforting myself with food and that was the idea that I wanted to be here and healthy as my two grandsons grow up. Made it easier to stick to my new way of eating and living.

Lary, congrats on the 25lb weight loss! Awesome job!! And yes, forums like this also play a big role in helping to achieve success.

Awesome, great job!!!!!!!!!! Pat yourself on the back BIG TIME!!!!!!!

Congrats Liz. Keep up the good work.
