Who's trying to lose weight?

[jkath]

hey kitty :)
You're in the UK, so I recommend watching "you are what you eat". I see it on BBC America. I've always been at a low weight, but I began watching for health reasons (since I have so many foods I'm allergic or intolerant to). Anyhow, besides the excessive amount I've learned from Dr. Gillian McKeith, I've somehow lost 8 pounds in a month. I didn't mean to, I just took some of the advice. And, ps - I'm feeling extra healthy and energized too.
Also - it's taken away my sweet cravings. I've not even wanted any of the sweets I bake for the family. All I want is around 1 medjool date each day.

Who isn't?? LOL. Depends on what kinda shape you are trying to get into. I have gone from round to oval, hoping to get more rectangular?

Yea meds can make it more difficult. I lost only 20lbs the first five years I had diabetes, thats pretty dismal. Then the depression hit, and I lost another 15, but then on new meds I gained 10 of it back. I stayed there until this last bout with heart surgery, where I dropped another 15, then after wards dropped another 5, but now back on all my meds and insulin I have gained almost 8 to 10 back.
I now weight about what I weighed about 13 years ago, but still need to drop another 20 to 30 lbs at least to get back to my college weight.

those are my raised hands

Until I saw this thread, my goal was to maintain my current weight. But I could be inspired to try to lose 5 more pounds.

Water consumption is my secret weapon. When I feel hungry, I drink a glass of water. It seems I can trick my body into feeling full, even though I consumed no calories.

Great idea rk!!

Count me in, too. The doctor told me that according to my sugar levels in my last three blood tests I am pre-diabetic. He gave me the come-to-Jesus lecture so I'm really trying hard to lose and watch what I eat. Cheese and fried chicken and spaghetti are all my downfall. Nice to have some moral support. Thank you!
