261.0 down to 178.0

Tuesday, November 19, 2013

186.4 (9: 30 am) after eating pecan pie, 3 orange candy slices and 1 can of chickpeas the prior evening.

110 mg/dL this morning. That's the highest fasting BG reading I have seen in a long time. I forgot to take my Metformin last night and then also ate a bunch of junk. I had hoped I would get a better reading than that this morning. I have lost 75 pounds from my top weight 261.2. I don't think my pre-diabetes will ever improve 100% with even 120 pounds of weight loss (if I am ever able to get there). All I can do is keep doing what I know I should be doing. I am down 53 pounds since I got really serious about it on June 20th, 2013. I would still like to get down at LEAST below 165, but my end goal is really below 140 permanently. The truth of the matter is that my body will probably really start resisting any further weight loss at some point. I don't know when that will be. Formally obese people have really low leptin levels and lots of hypotrophic fat cells, which makes weight stabilization at a formally low weight very difficult. Over time (YEARS), some of the very small fat cells may die off.
