6 week check up
Hey Tom - Congrats on being down 30 pounds, and even more props for exercising!
I'm at 7 weeks and have lost 30 as well. Seems like that's a popular number for those about as far out as we are.
Keep up the great work!

That is great you are down 30lbs. keep up the good work. The weight does seem to come of slowely, then all of a sudden you turn around and you will be down 50lbs. I have been at a plateau for 1 month now and that can be frustrating.
Having problem with my sugars dropping, I was at work the other night when my sugar dropped and you know being in the field, this is not a good thing, grabbed some cookies until the call I was on was over. Guess a little glucose tube would have been better! NAH that stuff is nasty. Like someone else said muscle mass weighs more so you are building up muscles instead of losing the pounds. Good Luck and keep losing.

No they were not sugar free, I did not check the sugar content and I did not have any problems with them no dumping or stomach cramping. They were a plain short bread cookie. I recently tried a Girl scout peanut butter cookie and did not have any dumping results either. I try to stay away from cookies but when my sugar level dropped I needed to take something. I am an EMT and sometimes, I can't get my snack so I just grabbed something that I thought did not have much sugar in it and something to bring my levels up.
Linda,
Be careful with thise drops in ur sugar. You know how dangerous that can be. asfar as the tube of glotose goes, it is only good for one thing. When u give it to a pt, they store it in theor cheeks until the medics wake them up and then they spit it out cuz it taste so nasty. lolol

Hi Tom, congrats on your loss!
I think that it is hard to see your own weight loss, I sometimes wonder if I will always see a fat person in the mirror or if that will change in time, hmm who knows.
Anyway I am feeling better and still walking, doc doesn't want me to start exercising til March when I see him for my 3 month check.
You are doing great, keep up the good work!
