Hi from a newbie
 

I am slightly over a 100lbs to lose still so I thought I would come and say hi :wave: I'm april and I am 31 years old.

Hi and welcome April -

You have come to a fabulous forum. It is filled with a wealth of information and support.

Think about staying a while and starting a journal. It makes you very accountable to post your daily menus. Gives us a starting point to help you occassionally and also gives us all a chance to get to know you better.

YOU CAN DO THIS!

Welcome
 

Hi April-

Wow you are doing great!!!! Welcome to this forum. Is insulin resistance WOE like carbohydrate addict-Keep carbs low during day to prevent insulin spikes?

Welcome April! This is a terrific place -- applause when you're feeling good, understanding when you're feeling bad. I'm pretty new myself, but already I've found lots of encouragement and support here.

You've done fabulous so far!! I can identify -- I'm insulin resistant, too. Caused no end of problems for me, but went undiagnosed until my enlightened gynecologist thought to check my insulin!

Be sure and start a journal -- it really is a terrific help.

:wave:

Hi ladies nice to meet you all :) Thanks for the wonderful welcome

Thanks for the congrats on my weight loss, its nice for people to see a difference now in my weight, hopefully the next 100 will show changes quicker.

Hi Lisa, I would love to start a journal but unfortunately sometimes I dont have any time and my posts may be far between so I might bore a few people;)

Hi donna, I havent ever looked at cad diet so I'm not sure if its the same but it sounds similar. I link low amounts of carbs usually 15 grams with at least 7 grams of protein for my meals. I find this diet incredibly livable. B/w this and my glucophage it has leveled out.

Hi celtinore, It sounds like you have pcos too, what a lovely disease huh :rolleyes: , My fasting insulin was 114 originally and after 2000mgs of glucophage and my weight loss it is finally down to 9. I know all to well about doctors undiagnosing stuff that should have been apparent to them, I guess they call it medical practice for a reason ;)

I have gotten much better between my thyroid meds, glucophage, watching my carbs, and my herbs for my endo.

Congratulations to all of you too, you are doing great on your weight loss also!

Hi April, it's so nice to meet you. Your success is really inspiring. I hope you spend some time here...it's a wonderful place. We're all in this together!

Hi Dingo Its nice to meet you to :)

Thanks I am glad I inspire you, it makes me feel good to inspire others, I was a lurker on this board for so long and everyone else's success is what inspired me to buckle down. I definitely want to spend some time here to get to know all of you, You have all been so inviting to me :)

Don't ever think we would be bored by your journal. We LOVE to hear what our fellow adventurers are thinking and everyone here is glad to hear about the ups and the downs. I look forward to checking my journal every day to see who has sent me a note of encourgement and advice. Please reconsider...we'd all like to get to know you better.
