Ignoramus6447 - 02 Jun 2004 02:23 GMT It's been a year since I started dieting June 1 2003. Also a year without sweets, candy, sugar and junk food in packages. I lost 50 lbs since then.
I have not had a single heartburn in the whole year
Also not a single instance of cold.
My blood pressure is about 127/70 now, instead of 145/85 or so.
I can now do 12 very clean pullups and 39 pushups.
This was the happiest year in a long time for me. Somehow feeling good physically translates into the feeling of happiness for me.

I like the site also.
 Signature As you accelerate your food, it takes exponentially more and more energy to increase its velocity, until you hit a limit at C. This energy has to come from somewhere; in this case, from the food's nutritional value. Thus, the faster the food is, the worse it gets. -- Mark Hughes, comprehending the taste of fast food

Paul - 02 Jun 2004 02:56 GMT Hello Iggy,
Congrats on the excellent weightloss maintenance and the payoff is great too with the healthier lifestyle and all. Keep on working on more pull-ups and pushups. I hope to be able to post soon, reaching my goal but it's getting harder the closer I get, but I'm sure I'll make one day.

Thanks, I am sure you will make it.
What's the marine corps standard for pushups and pullups?

I hope you are the same. As for the way I feel. It is all surreal.I'm still in shock mode I think. I am finding it harder being in maintenance than I thought it would be. The cravings are worse now than they ever were while in losing mode. And I tend to want to make us reasons why I cant workout sometimes. In the end though I buck up and prevail. I went on a 2 day binge a few weeks back and that scared the sh.t out of me. I slapped myself in the butt and got right back on track. Its funny how not in control I can still find myself even after all I have learned and accomplished. I am ok as long as I dont let myself get bored. I go into total binge mode if I get bored. Sooooo I have taken up a second job helping out at an old family friends farm. The work is hard and the pay sucks. But it keeps me occupied. :) ... I hope you and yours are all doing great... peace and huggs (((( )))).

> I love a "diet" where you can say "I've lost "just" 43 pounds so far" > ;-) Heh, sorry, I didn't notice this had been crossposted! ASD readers have heard my history, so I didn't mention that the first 24 pounds were lost due to uncontrolled diabetes, not diet. I'm not proud of that, but I'm very proud of the last 19 pounds, which I've worked to get off. But I've still got such a long way to go, that 43 pounds doesn't seem like much; though as I said, I feel a lot better.
*AND* I'm happy to report, that my A1C (3 month average blood glucose) has dropped from a scary 9.1 in February to a normal 5.1 in May (just got my test report back)! That might have something to do with why I feel so much better... ;-)

As far as I understand, the holy grail of diabetes management is blood sugar control. Much easier to do when you are a little hungry all the time and have glycogen reserves to fill...
It's great that you can control your diabetes with diet... Congratulations!

Being at a lower weight has always made it easier for me to exercise and remain active. When I put a few pounds back on my energy level seems to drop.

There were a few instances when I overate, and I always felt bad, like a sack of sh.t, afterwards. Which is pretty close to how I felt when I was fat.

Time will pass whether we decide to lose weight or not. I decided I wasn't going to be fat anymore and then made it happen. Now time still passes and we're so much healthier. I was never unhappy - sure, I didn't like the way I looked much but I was very happy. That's probably why I didn't start sooner - but also why it turned out to be fairly easy for me.

Every now and again someone will ask me something like, "Aren't you so much happier now that you've lost weight?" or "Don't you feel so much better now that you've lost weight?". I will just answer something like, "Not really. I felt fine before." I mean, I'm glad I've lost weight, and it has improved some things about my life, but I didn't seem to have nearly the angst about being overweight that people expect me to have had, I guess.

susanjoneslewis - 03 Jun 2004 05:45 GMT I know the question was to Laurie but I have not had indigestion since I started my WOE and I was one of those folks on every over the counter antacid and even Rx acid reducers. Not one single time In almost a year (June 15 is my 1 yr anniversary for my WOE) This factor ALONE will keep me from going back to my old way of eating. I don't know if it was what, or how much or in what combo I was eating, or lack of exercise.....doesn't matter.. I will never suffer the pain of that again like I did for years. What an absolute gift I gave myself when I changed whatever it was that caused it.

I do not know if this is due to eating less, or not eating late in the evening, or what, but not having heartburn is very precious.

I guess it's quite possible I have a hiatal hernia after all these years of stuffing myself full. Even now, though, it stops within days of starting a healthier (and smaller) WOE.

I eat much more food, volume wise, than I did when I was obese.
And yet, I do not suffer from heartburn anymore.
Even when I overeat of calorie dense food, I do not have heartburn.
I read a tidbit in Dr. Bernstein's diabetes book that heartburn could be a signal of unstable blood sugars. I wonder if slimming down and normalizing my blood sugars could be responsible for my own lack of heartburn now.

(I believe that is the true name for it) to use for not only situps, but I lay across it to do pushups! I am up to 100 - 4 sets of 25. Let me know. Sally

You and I started this journey to better health together last year, and I have watched you post here(ASD) on a daily basis and vice versa.
First of all... Well done. I'm very pleased/proud for you to have made it thus far on what is going to be a lifetime commitment for you.
Secondly, for all your hard-headedness about many subjects over the last year - your 2 dimensional view of losing weight/dieting/improving health etc... If nothing else, it forces us all to attempt to see things from your perspective. Thanks for the diversity.
