Hey everyone! *Does victory dance* I stepped on the scale today and it said I was 150! This means I've lost
25 pounds now! I can also fit into *some* of my thinner clothes - I still can't squeeze into the 4's and the 6's, but it's nice to comfortably fit 8's and wear fitted tees again without looking huge! (I am a firm believer in dressing my appropriate size

)
Thin - rock ON! you dropped A LOT of sizes - pretty soon, you won't even need to wear any plus sizes at all

And by the time you reach goal, you'll probably even be out of the double digits

Good job!

and yes, you DO need to get one of those cute meters... maybe you'll be motivated to check your blood sugar then...

- or maybe your blood sugars have been great because you're losing weight. My knowledge of type 2 isn't the greatest, but to my understanding, some of ya'll start having really good blood sugar numbers once you drop _X_ amount of pounds... right? Like FresnoBeeDude, who jokingly said he's no longer diabetic?
meowee and rosey - it hasn't been
decades, but it HAS been FOREVER since I've drank regular soda, to the point of where it just tastes funny to me... it tastes like a big, sugary mess... I can't believe I drank so much of it in elementary and middle school... besides the sugar factor, it's liquid calories that I'd rather consume chewing on something more nutritious!
I absolutely refuse to eat low fat OR sugar free ice cream, though! YUCK! Sugar free candy can be ok sometimes, but consuming any more than a few pieces... well, anyone who has eaten more than few sugar free candies knows where this is heading...
also,
rosey, I don't know if you like Dr. Pepper, but Diet Dr. Pepper tastes almost the same. Also try Coke Zero.
