Set Realistic Weight Loss Goals

I've set all kinds of goals!  Time I  get real.  For me, BMI at 25 is 135 pounds so I need to lose 45 pounds.

But there is more to the story. I am also a diabetic and take five medications to manage my health. I asked my doctor a couple of years ago how I could eliminate some of these pills? He advised me to lose 20 pounds. According to Sherri Shafer's, Diabetes Type 2 Complete Food Management Program,2001, “Losing 10 – 20 pounds can greatly improve blood sugar control because weight loss allows your body's insulin to work better.” I should have lost the 20 pounds back then but I didn't and now my doctor wants to add another medication!

So now I am blogging through another weight loss journey.
