Start Weight:	(06 Aug 09) 253.2 lb
Current Weight:	(20 Nov 09) 234.8 lb
Goal Weight:	195.0 lb

following: Diabetic Diet by Hoss131
performance: losing 4.2 lb a week

I'm older(58)and mother to one 31 yr.old son who has given me 4 grandkids 3 boys age 14 , 12, & 2 and one girl age 1 and I have been with my wonderful hubby for 36 yrs.now. I have several medical problems..my dr. says I have three things against me to lose weight..type 2 diabetes,post menopause, and HYPOthyroidism (I'll also add arthritis in my knee really bad..& a bad back....which keeps me from walking/bending or just standing much)I lost 40 lbs the year before I quit smoking (2 years ago) and since then I have gained 60 lbs which is making me miserable and almost an invalid. I MUST lose 75lbs. so I can breathe and get around easier. I've had a yo-yo weight problem for about 40 years but this is the worst ever ! I just can't seem to get started on another life change again. The quitting smoking took a lot out of me and I'm still dealing with it. Any way I sure could use some motivation and support with losing weight !! HELP !!

OH boy, I sure wish I HAD a place to go swimming as I enjoy swimming, but I live In a VERY rural town in VT & the nearest YMCA to use is 1 & 1/2 hour drive away & the nearest pool to use here is in a health spa/gym and is VERY expensive....I don't work & hubby is on S.S....so money is limited but thanks for the suggestions....I will just keep on chair dancing & lifting weights I guess... LOL

I have hypothyroidism and am on meds...once you go on meds then you are on them for the rest of your life to regulate this....I gained 60lbs.(4stone-4lb.) in the last two years while trying to get the right dosage for thyroid (I also quit smoking @ same time frame) I too have a bad back and bad knee (I need a total knee replacement)...I am 58 yrs old... YES I find it VERY hard to lose weight ! My DR. said I have a few strikes against me that makes weight loss harder...they are: 1. I'm post menapausal (you don't lose it as easily as when you are young), 2. I have hypothyroidism (an under active thyroid which slows metabolism), 3.I have diabetes ( blood glucose is not used properly), & 4. I'm substituting oral substance (food)in place of the cigs, so I have hard time walking,standing,bending...so is the Wii something you think I can use too?

Nutritional Information
I don't know the answer to your question, but I too noticed the difference...but figured I aught to go by what's on the package I have in front of me. For what it puts in here for the cal. count etc. I figure as long as it all averages out at the end of the day to be close to my actual count then all is ok.
