I just took my blood glucose a little bit ago. I ate some watermelon maybe 1/2 an hour before that, and I had lunch 3 hours prior to it. I was just curious to see what it would be, not at fasting. I have been off of metformin for 4 solid days now. Last dose was on Saturday. I am really, really pleased with this number.108 mg/dL!
I certainly did not expect that. I figured maybe the 10% fat loss wasn't the reason why my numbers had been low these past 2 weeks. I thought maybe I was j...

In my everlasting quest to tweak my calorie intake I am trying something new. I like finding new things that are created in the name of losing weight, then giving it an honest try. Last night while surfing around I stumbled across an article about boca burgers. I've heard of them, and I knew they were made with soy, but never really considered them until finding the information on it last night.So I went to boca's website and discovered that their burger is only 100 calories with only 1g o...

Today I made it to a whole new low. 365 Lbs on the scale. That is a 4 lb drop from last week's 369 lbs which was my 10% goal mark. I am very excited over the nice drop, one which I've not seen since the first 2 or 3 months of CK.365 is a whole new low for me. It isn't like I dropped down to it, then came back up and stalled and slowly came back down again. This has happened several times before, and I'm sure it'll continue to happen again. See the lowest weight I can recall was back wh...

Has anyone ever noticed just how much Mark Hamill looks like Alton Brown? What exactly is it that jedi's eat? After all, Yoda was disgusted by Luke's survival food, exclaiming, "how do you get so big eating food of this kind?"I'm happy to see that the plateau I was dealing with for the last month has finally turned itself off for a little while at least. Monday (my weigh in day) I came in at my lowest finally of 369 lbs. Well on Wednesday that number went down to 366 lbs. On Thur...
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Something I have never really openly talked about or confessed is that I've been labeled a type II pre-diabetic. I was put on 500mg of Metformin once a day back in May of 2009 to try to control the sugars. My blood glucose use to be in the 80's and 90's I guess about 4 or 5 years ago. But in the past year or so I've seen fasting numbers ranging from 145 to 255 and everything in between. Usually staying in the 160-170ml numbers fasting. Well the doctor did a full bloodwork on me and my A1C was a ...
