Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Me too! I've been finding it so hard to loose weight. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and my A1C has gone from 7.8 to 6.4 (6.4 for the last 1.5 years) so I'm doing something right. But, despite diet change and exercise, not much in the weight-loss department. Still, I am determinded. Starting weight: 264 Current weight: 251 End of July goal: 248 Ultimate goal: 155 ~ Jayd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Someone earlier in this string mentioned a goal of losing 4 pounds per week (if I read it right). That is a very difficult regime. You may be able to do that for a few weeks, but the emotional toll of keeping that up is huge. I'm looking for 1 to 1.5 lbs per week on a very steady basis. It seems to be good for me. Each week I lose at least something, and for some reason other weeks will have 3 or more lbs off. I've probably lost about 40 lbs so far. I know I can maintain this sort of schedule, but a rapid loss would be too frustrating for me. The last thing I need with diabetes is to feel incompetent at meeting my goals. I wish everyone the very best in the weight loss arena. I'm trying not to put a number on the pounds I want to weigh. I just want to feel and look better. One reasonable goal for heavier men is to be able to look down and see " Mr. Happy " again. Thanks, D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
