I think it's a bit easier for me to avoid comparisons since I measure my weight in kg's.
You know I started this thing as a last resort. I was briefly on insulin while trying to get pregnant and it did nothing for me except put on 7kg's in a month. So when I went to the doctor for my most recent Hb1ac and it read 12.5 I knew I had to do something. The doctor also weighed me and said that if I was 126kg's then maybe I should consider lapbanding as a solution. WHAT THE !!!
Well I weighed in this morning and have lost a total of 14kg's (26lb) in 9 weeks. I don't care if others have lost more or faster than me. I'm just so glad that something is finally working and my BGL's are way down. I'm due to have a 24 hr urine test done this week for my kidney function and another Hb1ac in a week or so. I'll post with hopefully some great results.

Great news Therese!!! I'm proud of you. It's amazing that I've heard many people say they started Atkins as a "last resort" -- this is the one that has worked the best and is the tastiest for me! I've been on the I Love NY Diet, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, I've done the grapefruit diet, the boiled egg diet, the cabbage diet, the soup diet....so I guess this was my last resort also....LOL!
How did your last tests go and your Hb1ac? Hope you got great news!
