Re: Losing weight - Sherry

Hi,

I am new to this list. I was diagnosed in July and have learned a great

deal since then.

Sherry, you might want to look at the Four Corners Diet. It's working

for me. I've lost 25 lbs since diagnosis, and I am about your size.

The diet is healthy and there are special sections in it for the

diabetic.

By the way, I have Maltese, too! I enjoyed seeing your pictures,

Re: Losing weight - Sherry

Well... I was 130 lbs 5 years ago. I'm now at 241. I take med for

high BP, I

actually take 2 meds for HP.

I tried weight watchers, but it just wasn't for me and I only lost a

couple of

pounds. I can't drink as much water as every one says too, because I

have a

neurogenic bladder. That's a whole other story. :-)

Hi Sherry,

I gained 48 lbs in less than 2 months about 10 yrs ago. I had

started

losing that weight when I was diagnosed with diabetes. Once I

decided I

wanted

off meds, I put more emphasis on exercise and eating small portions.

My

weight

goal has been where I want it since 2001. I have been off meds for

both

diabetes and blood pressure since 2001.

You can lose the weight. It won't happen overnight and it won't be

easy,

but it can be done. Just take it one day at a time. Walking is one

of the

best ways to exercise, or at least it is for me.
