Actually, my journey began about one month ago. I was 261.4 pounds and 5'4". I have Type II diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and high triglycerides. I am currently on two medications, TriCor and Labetalol. My A1C, for those diabetics out there, is only 5.9. Although, since my sugars are high and very sporadic my physician has determined I am diabetic. I was on MetFormin in the beginning, but during my last pregnancy I switched to insulin. Surprisingly, I watched my diet very well during my pregnancy and lost 45 pounds! (Of course, by the time my baby was 6 months old the 45 pounds were back) Currently, I am trying to control sugars without medication. Personally, I feel if the weight comes off and stays off I will not have issues with high sugars.
I had to develop a plan that is workable for me, a busy wife and mom! I also wanted a plan that would work! I began to think back to what had worked for me in the past and my schedule. I developed my weight removal plan. I decided to join Curves, Weight Watchers, and walking. Curves is local, in my area we don't have many fitness centers. I had a sister-in-law also starting Curves so I thought that I could have a weight loss buddy. I also decided to start Weight Watchers with another friend. Walking has always helped me lose weight.
I decided to go to Curves four days a week and walk four days a week. Saturday would be my double-up day. And so the journey began...
