Angie's Weight Loss (struggle, attempt, journey)
- Thread starter Angie
- Start date
Well, my weight loss seems to have come to a screeching halt.
I'm actually at 31 lbs lost, so I gained 2 lbs. over the last few weeks.
I know part of it is not sticking to the program for a couple reasons. First is simply boredom with my diet after 5 months (now in month 6). I want some of my favorite foods! So I have eaten more points and thus stopped losing. Second is blood sugar issues where I get lows that require food. That one is frustrating. I've already dropped one diabetes med. That leaves glimeperide and mounjaro.
I will be seeing my doctor tomorrow (Monday) afternoon to talk about these issues as well as blood pressure and the new diagnoses of osteoporosis.
Sorry to ramble, bit frustrated with all these medical issues.

Have lost a couple more pounds, very slow progress but at least I am not gaining.
The good news (although it has been a big hassle) is I am now off my blood pressure medicine and two of three diabetes medicines!
Of course I have new meds for other things now lol
I have osteoporosis so I'll start taking Fosamax for that and although its not a med, I am starting to use the dexcom g7 glucose control monitor system, which is a sensor that reports blood sugar every 5 minutes. I was approved for this (but with a 68$ copay!) because my blood sugar was dropping way to low consistently.
I had a lovely out of state visitor so I've been off my weight loss program for a few days, today its back to eating healthier.
