My plateau has given way to a downward slope! Another four pounds is now gone!

The question is: will I meet my "30 by 30" goal? In other words, my hope has been to lose 30 pounds by my 30th birthday, which is a mere ten weeks away. 14 pounds are already gone, so I would need to lose an average of 1.6 lbs per week to be successful. Can I do it?

It's too soon to tell, I think.

In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy the other benefits of low-carbing and regular…

I topped out at 317 this morning. Ugg….what the heck did she eat you ask? Well a cup (yes I measured) of cereal with Almond Delight ‘milk’. And NO it wasn’t ‘sugar-are-us’ cereal, it was Fiber One and frankly I should be able to eat a damn bowl of cereal without my ending up feeling like I’ve been run over by the truck. ~sigh~…

i was originally diagnosed with type two diabetes in 2001... after many series of medicines/insulines and a few seizures, they finally checked me for type one diabetes.

i was told this happens a lot when the patient is overweight... they 'assume' it's onset/type two, and in this case, their assumption nearly killed me.

my job function is a web programmer for Syracuse University - mostly Coldfusion, but we've…

Hi every one - I'm a 40 something, diagnosed at 8 yrs old, The middle ages of diabetes treatment, before meters, after insulin. I burned a finger or three on test tubes which put me off testing regualrly for a long time.

Seeking help ... You may have noticed my A1C, it is making my life a bit rough right now. I am experiencing some insulin resistance and hormone fluctuation that are driving my number up and down almost daily, no…

It was so busy last week. A run down of our ups and downs...

A day at Waldameer - we went to an amusement park (Waldameer) located in Erie, PA. A second day in a row being away from home with Olivia and her big sister, Gwen. I need to make a list on the computer so I can check everything off to make sure I don't leave anything behind that Olivia needs. I didn't forget anything, but I became overly paranoid on the way there that I forgot something! The first…

I am having trouble in the forums. I can view the forum area but if I click on a discussion my computer pops out a warning and shuts down the browser. At first I was irritated but now I use it as my own personal slot machine. If I am bored, I click on the forum and the suspense mounts. Will it work or wont it? I contacted Manny but I think it is more of an issue with my computer. I post on other forums with no problems so my computer may just feel too much banter and insight floating around…

YES YOU GOT IT RIGHT! This is not one of those scam miracle cures you see all over the Internet. This is tried and true by no less than millions of savvy folks who are at risk for the Big D. Many of us already knew this.

Okay so what's the catch. Here it is. Being…
