Is this a good sign

[Jedi99]

Hi I hope everyone remembered to set clocks ahead, and is having a great weekend. I'm hoping that the fact my body is triming down on it's own is a good sign after the first huge weight loss of about 20lbs in about 4 weeks from 221 to 201,I just this week lost another 2-3 lbs. I take this to mean that chances are that my body is reglauting itself (Hope so) as far as my blood sugars are concerned. Just looking for input thanks:) :D

Congrats On the weight loss! That must make you feel terrific. What are you doing ,if anything,to lose weight? Whatever it is it sound s like it's really working for you. Congrats,again!

Well, I sure hope it's a good sign!! Congratulations and continued sucess to you!! ;)

Congrats - feels great to lose some of that bulk doesn't it!

How are your BGs, though? If you're running high you could be losing weight from that - not a good way to do it as it means your poor bod is starved of energy.

If your numbers are fine then it's all good! Well done :)

I have not started to check on a daily basis as I'm a big wimp w/needles:eek: will be picking up a meter this week:( . My energy levels are great most of the time. In the last week I feel a little more tired nothing bad just a small drop. a friend said that it is like peeling a onion and my body will go through stages were it will cleanse itself. Does the last part hold true. Thanks

Jedi,
Much props! Sometimes the lbs. can shed when you don't expect them to. Keep it up, you're doing great. If you're on a proper diet, and losing, i'm sure your BG's are good as well. The fact that you feel great, is the best sign of all.

the force is strong w/ you.....

Congrats on your weight loss! Sounds like a good sign to me. I had to join Weight Watchers to lose weight. It seems like I have to pay money or I can't lose weight, lol. So far I'm down 7. Congrats again!

[Jedi99]

it is me again thanks for the congrats to everyone. one final question what about hunger binges,sometimes I will have one where I'd eat the sink in the kitchen:D they last for 20-30 mins and then I'm fine until the next day is this normal they don't happen all the time just every other day or so? Again thanks.

been there done that.... when i get those, i try to eat veggies even if i dont want them, or s/f jello, so at least i get full but with little to no calories or carbs

I've only been in control of my BG levels for about 6 weeks and I'm not "trying" to lose weight either but have lost about 6 pounds this month. I think it's just my body adjusting to my new lifestyle.

Congrats and all that stuff. :)

I'm also a wimp about testing. Acu-chek sells a cartridge style lancer that they say is "pain free." I wouldn't call it 100% pain free but I will say that about 50% of the time I don't feel the needle. And it's still not bad when I do. It uses cartridges with 5 or 6 needles inside. I likeit because you never actually see the needles. And I'm wimpy about even seeing them. :T

Good show, Jedi! Losing weight is the best feeling... I fit into a suit Friday night that hasn't fit me in years!

Do yourself a big favor, and get to testing on a regular basis.

[mzizgayle]

Congratulations Vince and Jedi for the weight loss. I was also a wimp about needles but I do this for my life....just take a deep breath as you release it to stick ya...eventually you won't even feel it lol

[jvetter18]

Try to make a game out of the testing ....like guessing what #'s your BG's are at. When the meter counts down 5,4,3,2,1 it's like the ball dropping @ Times Square, minus the confetti and strangers kissing you.......or i could just say toughen, but that wouldn't be a nice thing to say.
