Losing Weight with Starscream

[shilala]

It sounds like it's going great, Randy. Congratulations!!!
Heck, it's worth continuing whether you've lost weight or not, just for benefit of your wife's health, right? I have to admit, the first half of your post I was half rolling my eyes, especially with a name like "The Food Lovers Fat Loss System". That turned to amazement when you mentioned what it's done for you wife's sugar. That truly is amazing.
Keep it up, brother!!!

So far it has done wonders for us. We have been on it for 16 days and can already feel a difference. My wife is diabetic and her average sugar level was 190 to 210 while on insulin, now it is running in the 90s. We will get to weigh on 4/3 21 days after starting. I was 180.

Awesome news!

Amen. It's always cool to see the benefits other than weightloss.





I did 30 min. of strength training last night. I've had a great week and looking forward to check-in tomorrow morning.

Yes that is the best part (good blood sugar), and allot of people are skeptical of it, but it just brings us back to the original food triangle and how to use it. A nutritionist explain it as your metabolism is a furnace and if you dont fuel it, it will go out. To me it is worth a try.
And for some dumb reason my cigar is blowing up and wanting to split

Vacation sucks when it comes to maintaining a proper diet. Only 5 more? You can do that easily.

You can't go wrong if you focus on the food pyramid.



Official weigh-in today was 249. Lowest I've been in a year! Gotta keep on keeping on and making progress. It's easier now that my wife is doing this with me.

Congrats Andy. I've been somewhat following this thread, more of late as I'm trying to lose more weight myself. About 2.5 years ago I was around 295-300lbs. After my Mom passed, I made a decision to make some lifestyle changes. Cut way back on processed foods, increase fruits/veggies, less protein. Over the course of two years, I dropped ~30lbs and was maintaining right around the 265-270 mark. Then two weeks ago i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My A1C test came back at 249. Ouch! Since then I've cut back on the carbs, increased my veggie intake even more and bumped up my protein a bit. Big thing was finally getting off my butt and start walking. I do 2-2.5 miles 5 days a week. Last week I was down to 260.6 (God i wanted into the 250's), and I know I've lost a bit more since then. With the meds and the diet change, my blood sugar's around 120 now. I"m hoping to get down to 225lbs and hopefully off the meds.

Keep up the good work.
