I'm taking it that juice just doesn't "do it" for you, WI?

osuche~I understand your quest. I'm hoping that, when I go to do my next three-month glucose reading mid-April that my A1C results have me in the "non-diabetic" category, between the weight loss, improved diet, and exercise. In January I moved down to the lowest dosage of my medication, since my A1C at that time was below what the American Diabetes Association wants it to be for "well-controlled" but not quite to the level my doctor would prefer. Still, when I can remember to take my two-hour readings, I've not had one over the magic number in weeks. Not one. That gives me hope to eventually control a disease that still makes me very, very angry through simple lifestyle changes and not through medication.

maddy~As I've said before, here and in our conversations, it's still a loss. I know how frustrating it is to work on this 24/7--because we ALL work on it 24/7--and to have all of that hard work rewarded at the end of the week with something paltry.

But, just remember--you have to cut out 3500 calories to lose a pound in a week.

Apparently I needed to re-read it as well. I believe I am PMSing and retaining water in preparation...all I know is that the scale is not budging for me one iota this week. And it's depressing. ((maddy))
