Weight Watchers 2018 plan

New Numbers
I am just over 2months out from surgery and feel really good. For the most part, I think I'm fully recovered now, though I haven't received the "all clear" from the plastic surgeon yet. I'm ready to get back in the gym, just waiting for a new sign up special. Lol. I'm still only down 20 lbs,...

Good Morning, I am focussing on changing my diet (which I hate that word). I need to start eating healthier. What advice do you suggest in implementing this with a family? Do I make separate meals? Do I have everyone make the changes with me? I have a husband who will eat about anything, 3...

The hardest experience I’ve ever had!
I’ve been diagnosed as type 2 diabetic at age 28 as of December 2017. This by far has been the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced and I’m not exactly sure as to how I should cope with this...and to add insult to injury I currently have no insurance. How do you get into the “groove” of this...

Having Trouble Finding a Good List of Low Glycemic Index/Load Foods
Does anyone know where to find a list of foods, either organized by glycemic index/load or by food category but also listing the glycemic index and load numbers? I'd love to get ahold of a good printable list of low glycemic foods that I can use when shopping and meal planning. I don't mind...

Newly Diagnosed - New to this Community
Hello, I was just diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes one week ago but, of course, I have suspected it for a long time now. It took a pulmonary embolism to get me to the doctor and finally hear the truth. I was prescribed Metformin and Glypizide but I happened to find Jason Fung's book The Diabetes...

Hello Everyone
I have been a diabetic for about five years now. But it wasn't until recently that I began to take my health seriously. My lack of adherence to any kind of a diet was my own fault. I knew what to do, but I chose to ignore it. A few months ago, I went to the doctor and my news was not good. My A1C...

A Gift to Me.
Well, today it's final. Surgery to repair my hernias and a panniculectomy a week from Tuesday. My surgeon of record was deployed earlier this year and I ended up waiting for another surgeon coming off deployment. He specializes in difficult hernia repairs and the panni was his idea. I wasn't...
