Hello, everyone! Thanks for supporting and commenting on my journals. For the new people here, I was diabetic with high cholesterol and high blood pressure. I started watching what I eat and walking every day. It was slow, losing about five pounds a month. About three months after I joined FS, I started to increase my fiber (25-40 grams a day) and increase my protein (46-90 grams a day). This helped me a lot in my weight loss journey. My doctor stopped the diabetes pill because my blood sugar became normal and he cut my cholesterol pill in half. I kept walking and eating right and my doc stopped the cholesterol pill. I'm still on the high blood pressure pill, because my doctor says I need it. I'm at my goal weight and so happy about it. I told everyone I was going to get a smoothie maker or a blender as a reward when I reach my goal weight. I bought myself a "Mother's Ring" which has a different birthstone for each one of my kids. It was something I always wanted to get, but they didn't make this ring in size 12. Now I weigh the same as I did when I got married and I bought the ring in size 9. I don't wear it every day but on special occasions. I'm saving my money again and I'm going to buy the smoothie maker or blender. Life is good. You must make a plan and stick with it. Be consistent and you will reach your goal!
