PattyAngl's Journal, 30 Jul 24

Hooray! Most of it wasn't water loss. Happy about that.

I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday. Hope to see better A1c numbers. I have lost over 40 lbs since April. A 14% drop in fat. Hoping to avoid insulin and keep my newly labeled diabetes under control with now prescribed Metformin and diet.

I have until 9/26 to get all the numbers going down even more before I meet with my heart specialist again. With my weight and blood sugars down, my triglycerides should drop as well. No more 400 range and hopefully I can get off a very expensive medication I really can't afford but he felt was needed for now.

Might sound vain, but I hope to get an Atta Girl, keep up the good work and I don't have to see any other specialist or take any extra tests or meds for now. I am in charge of my own choices about my health. If I cheat, I am only cheating myself. Fatsecret is helping me stay motivated when it is so easy to look in a mirror and say "Why try?" I am glad I found this group.

110.2 kg Lost so far: 10.0 kg.    Still to go: 30.8 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
