Well I finally hit my latest goal to lose 50 pounds.  I've decided to start weighing in on Saturday morning and then go to my meeting on Monday night.  I seem to do much  better because I don't make myself crazy on Friday, the way I was on Sunday and Monday, because my friends are around and I am usually busy. 

I'm so excitied.  My goal was to reach this point before I go to the doctor and my appointment is on Tuesday.

Thaks everyone.  You are all a prt of this as well.  it helps a lot to have the support.  Tonight at my meeting I received a 50 pound charm to add tomy key ring.  I could not have done this if I were still working and having to drive back and forth to boston evey day.   Tomorrow is my doctor appointment and I know he will be happy as well.  I'm hoping my A1C will be down. 

Mary: so nice to hear from you again.  I often wonder how you are and how the kids are doing.  I miss the old timers who used to post so frequently.

Hi Jen, I just find things so slow here and so many have gone. I makes me sad. I have found a good group over at the ADA type 1 boards. It is much more active. There are a few type 2's that post there too that use insulin, but most stay over on the type 2 boards. My family is well except for mom. She has recently been in the hospital and has now had a stroke, so that is where most of my time is going. Melissa is helping me a lot just by being there with me as I go through this with mom.

  I was glad to come over here yesterday and read some good news though! I have always admired your strength and determination.

All this weight I lost must have come frome my brain.  I got to the Docs office only to find out that they had called me a month ago to cancel/change my appoinment.  I forgot tocall back and reschedule, my appt. is now on Sepatemer 1st.
