I wanted to lose weight before mine as well but I ony started really doing it one week before. I drank a protein drink for breakfast/lunch and ate a healthy choice/lean cuisine meal for dinner. If I HAD to snack, I hate soemthing that was under 100 calories total, like celery, cucumbers, or any of those 100 calories pack things that are out there now. Also, NO pop, even if it is diet! For one, its not very good for you and it can easily trigger other eating emotions that you might not realize, eg like "this diet pop goes really well with a bag of popcorn or candy bar!" I dont know if this can work for a diabetic because I dont know about stuff but this is what I did and I lost 7 lbs in one week! and I really only did this for 4 days!

When I wanted to cut some weight I would follow the South Beach diet. The first phase is pretty strict about no carbs, but it works. The hardest part was giving up the fruit and yogurt. It worked for me anyway Good luck Janie
