I am still going strong-Hope
« on: September 30, 2010, 06:53:16 PM »
Well, I am doing much better with my back.  I weighed 199 at the end of May and now I weigh 170 as of today.  I went to my doctor and she checked my sugar level and I have brought my sugar level down to 6.2 which is in normal range. She was so shocked by my results! She told me she was so proud of me and I was proud of myself. She said what I was doing was working and told me to continue eating this way.  Doug, you and your wife, have changed my life. I haven' t been on here in a while because of my back pain, but it is slowly improving too. Eating right isn't hard to do when you understand how to do it, I am so happy about my weight loss! Like I said before, I have done every weight program and paid lots of money and never really lost the weight, but that's because I wasn't told how much sugar is in everything.  So until I stopped dumping sugar into my body even when I thought I was eating right, nothing worked.  This new way of eating is wonderful and I don't feel hungry or deprived.  Plus I can still satisfy my craving every now and then with dessert or a little sugar free candy.  Well good luck all. I'm still new at posting, so hope I am doing it right. Hope
