Hello everyone,
I only have one week of finals left then I'm off for a month. No weight loss yet. Things have been too crazy so far. I've decided to give that -3 small meal and 3 small snacks a day plan- a try. We'll see if it works. At least my Dr. Will be happy, he's been trying to get me to eat that way just for my blood sugar control.

Well I finally started Metformin 3 days ago at 500mg for two weeks then upping to 1000mg until I get to 1500mg.... no side effects so far...

I knew the diet control was not working for my type 2, my god I tried to hard... but here's hoping Met does the trick!

well i step on my scale for the first time in 3 months and i was suprized with all the less food i eat and exercise 3 times a day my weight went from 196 to 230 but my clothes i use to wear at my highest weight at 255 is more loosen now. i dont understand it. i eat 3 meals a day, i watched my calories and fat intake. im handicap so my family gotta hold me up on the scale. i dont know wat to do. should i eat 2 times a day or wat? Help!

BBWonwheels- that sounds so fustrating. I went through some of that, I was eating my meals but they where too far apart. My dietition told me the if you wait too long inbetwean meals your body thinks it's starving and will store fat and prepaire for famine. YIKES, I'm afraid to not eat often enough. right now I'm trying that George Cruise plan, all it really is, is eating 400 calorie meals and 100 calorie snacks and timing them every three hours-never going past four hours (thats when a persons body goes into "starvation" mode") Hope this helps.

ok tyvm that do help

Hi, all. Thanks for your concern Rosey & Glen. I've been reading but not posting. Been very busy at work lately. Rosey - how's that foot. I watch my feet very carefully. Even had the landlord remove the shower doors from my bathroom because I kept cutting my foot on the tracks. (Also makes the bathroom much easier to clean. ). Congratulations on the weight loss. That's wonderful! You've really made some lifestyle changes.
BB - sorry that you're having trouble with weight loss. Since someone has to hold you on the scale, there might be a possibility that the scale isn't accurate? Also you might double check your calories. There are calorie calculators on WebMD and Fitday sites that might help.
Mazarin - how's the metformin going? I recently increased mine to 1500 mg a day. It's brought my a.m. sugars down from 150s to 140s. Still too high though.

welcome back rose. bb try eating more. tonight i went an italian bufet for supper . i don't wnt test my sugars. glen

I'm on Metformin..same dosage also. When I started on my meds, in 2 weeks, I lost 14 pounds!!! I ate right, drank my daily intake of water, exercised 30 minutes everyday.

I wish you well! My doctor says when I lose at least 35 pounds, there's a good chance I will be able to get of my meds!! Not holding my breath though. I know I'll lose the weight, but I heard of people who lost ALL their weight and are still on their meds.
