Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Good Morning All! My we are a chatty bunch aren't we? Just some thoughts on the past posts I just got done reading. As for birthday cake? I say eat it with out guilt. If we try to convince ourselves that we can never again have a piece of birthday cake - then why bother losing all this weight - we'd be miserable anyway. I think the trick here is to learn moderation - that means you get some of the good stuff - just not so much to ruin things. Elana - you can report to me! I don't have a tread mill yet - I'm still working on that, but maybe I could return the reports on at least something that would be exercise. I have several tapes, etc., that I keep telling myself that I need to do. My tip for the day - stop " trying " start " doing " . Every time I tell myself that I'll " try " to do something - or " try " not to do something - rarely do I succeed. I have to get more stern with myself - I will do such & such or I will not do such & such. No " maybes " or " trying " about - I'll either do it or not. On that note I will do my Tape I bought second hand on eBay several weeks ago today. I've never even plugged it in the VCR yet - today is the day! I will do it, and I'll report to Elana! OK - commence with chatting again Sherlyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Sherlyn, Couldn't have said it better myself! Since I have been losing weight and people started noticing, everyone asks what diet are you on? I tell them adamantly, no diet, don't believe in them! It is portion control, balance. when you eat " normal " amounts of food, not super sized and increase your activity level you will lose weight. I have actually had some people ask me if I'm sick because I've lost soo much weight! " shaking head " I was huge and am still wearing mostly 16s, I am far from skinny. I tell them, oh no I'm just fine, this has been very much on purpose!!!! LOL Good luck with the new tapes and VCR. I used to do a tape. It got me going! He gets a but annoying after awhile, lol. But he is a wonderful person. He has helped sooo many people!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Dianne Congrats on the weight loss!! Yes we all have to make sure we don't overdo it when we are first starting out because it seems people give up easier at the first from being tired or sore. Keep up the good work and I hope you have a great work out at the gym. Watch those night snacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2002 Report Share Posted October 24, 2002 Dianne, Good for you! Yes it was a good thing if your body was demanding it. Being rested is as important as being active. If you over do it you can get injured. It's all balance. Take care, Gena > Hello everyone! > > Good news! I was down 4 lbs as of last night. Still the same this > morning!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Hi Terri, I think I was doing the same thing. I knew about keeping your finger on the strip, but I just never done it because also ways get enough blood on the strip.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Hi , I just checked my sugar again at 11:00 and it went back up. The voicemate said that my sugar was 193 and my little machine said that my sugar was 177. I will let you no what it is when I check it at 5:00.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Hi Otis. Thanks for the update. You seriously have to get on lantus insulin to keep your in between meal sugars down. Please call your doctor today and ask him to prescribe it for you. Me and Pat, a retired nurse on list here, and others like Harry who are seasoned in this can help you adjust the insulin you just need to get it. Regards, Re: Good morning Hi , I just checked my sugar again at 11:00 and it went back up. The voicemate said that my sugar was 193 and my little machine said that my sugar was 177. I will let you no what it is when I check it at 5:00. Otis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
