Update
I'm so happy today. I'm now also part of the Diabetes OC. I'm just amazed by how many people are going through exactly the same and I didn't even know it. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one struggling with all this. But since I started blogging, I found out that that is definitely NOT the case. This might sound selfish, but I'm glad I'm not alone. (Oooppsss...)
I'm still waiting to get the OC-code, but as soon as I receive that e-mail I will post it on my blog and I will also post other links from fellow D-Bloggers. In the meantime, I want to thank everybody that contacted me with helpful tips and compliments! It feels great to be part of it.
Weight Watchers yesterday... I did not have any expectations because I knew I had 2 days where I wasn't too careful with what I put in my mouth.... So, I had already decided: "No expectations, hope for the best."
I lost 0.6 lbs. The good news about this is that I won my 2nd ribbon. For those of you who are familiar with WW's, they give you a blue ribbon for every time you lose 10 lbs! I now reached a total loss of 20.2 lbs!
Another major milestone was this past Monday (5/15) at my gym. I lost another 3% of body fat for week 6!
When I first started this program, my body composition was 49% and I'm now down to 36%.
I must say though, you are meeting me in one of my 'ups' in my life. I'm very much like 'all or nothing' and this is definitely a "all-time" I'm trying to extend those positive days as long as possible. :-) because for some odd reason, sometimes they're suddenly nowhere to be found. I guess some of you know what I mean...
Anyway, got another endo appointment next week Thursday. I think she will be very impressed. Last time I saw here (3/2/06), I was totally down, frustrated and mad at the world. (This was before I started having success losing weight.) I know she felt for me but there was really nothing she could do to help me. After all, my attitude was very negative and sometimes I wonder how much that has to do with it. Nevertheless, my blood results were very good, but the weight was a total disaster. I think she will be proud of me this time.

Hi,
I just saw your blog on Kerri's "Six Until Me" blog.
Welcome to the OC :)
I'm a parent on the OC and I'm also doing Weight Watchers. In addition, some of us are posting about our workouts...those with Type 1 and us parents.
I look forward to reading more entries as you post them!
Thank you very much for welcoming me to the OC. I'm really glad to be part of it.
How have you been doing at WW's? Are you on the flex or core?
I've lost 30+ lbs. since September.
I started out doing flex to get my appetite under control. Then several months later, I switched to Core because it's lower maintenance (no need to count points or weigh things...I do that enough with my son's food!).
I ate because I was bored or stressed...hazard of being a stay at home mom to 3 kids! Now I feel like I've overcome that habit...but it took lots of practice.
If I overeat one day, I don't beat myself up, I just behave myself for the next couple of days, and then I'm back on track again.
30+ lbs, that is awesome! You must ba happy too? Congratulations!!!
I do understand why you switched from Flex to Core, sometimes I really feel like doing the same. And then I remember... "you need discipline!" haha...
Were you pregnant before you had your kids? Sometimes I get really nervous... We want to have kids but I'm so afraid of the complications...
ohhh...I think she may have been pregnant before she had her kids!!
Sorry, but I laughed out loud at this as I am sure that's not what you meant but thanks for the laugh. Good luck with WW and your diabetes care. You will find being a part of this online community extremely helpful.Take care.
Hi, I just found your blog! Welcome to the OC!
OK OK, I meant to ask: "Where you pregnant before you had diabetes?" Thanks for pointing that out, Ms. Anonymous. :-)
LOL Anon answered that for you :)
I don't have diabetes, my son does :)
If you go to the blog "This Body Provides a Comfortable Home" (you can find it on the OC), you'll see that you can be perfectly fine while pregnant.
I realized that I should've said "I'm a parent of a child with D" in my first comment...I can see how I came off as a PWD.
Congrats on the weight loss and welcome to the OC! I'll be adding a link to you on my blog today.
Thanks Megan.
I checked out your blog and it is wicked funny, I had to laugh when I was reading about your site problems. I totally understand, I actually have that a lot more than I prefer. Isn’t it soooo annoying? By the way, what I’ve been experiencing with my Minimed pump lately is that the tape gets stuck on the inside of the inserting device and so when you push the button, the syringe goes half in, but not completely, because it’s stuck on the device. That totally makes me so angry.
Good luck in your D-life, I will definitely put you on my fellow bloggers list as well!
