Been three days and I'm happy...

Hello everyone. I posted my story in the introduction forum, but I want to post part of it here too. I have been doing Atkins for about 3 1/2 weeks now. Or at least I thought I was. But I have been using fitday.com since Monday, which corrected my still too high carb intake, and have seen my my blood glucose values drop sharply. On Monday my first morning reading was 263. The very next day I was down to 195. Yesterday 171. Today it was 145. I am soooooo looking forward to getting off all my medications (diabetes and high blood pressure). My doctor told me it would take months to get my sugar under control. Is he going to be surprised when he sees me again in 2 months, lol.

To those of you thinking of giving up, please don't. Follow the program the way Dr. Atkins wrote it, and track what you eat. I was surprised to find out I was still eating too many carbs. I'm so glad I kept at it and didn't throw in the towel.

Good for you Wanda!! I can't wait to hear what the doctor says when you go see him next time!!!! Stick to your guns girl - - you will get to your goal and hopefully off the meds. Wonderful news!

That is awesome... I can't wait to hear what the doc says too!

ready2lose, those are amazing stats! I would like to see your Doctor's face when you go back and he sees the new test results!

Glad you found out how to properly track your carbs. Fitday is a lifesaver to me, too!

Wanda -- how are things going? You haven't posted for awhile so I wanted to check in with you.

I wish you much luck
