I Live Nowhere Near Walden Pond ...
I have come a very long way from 226 pounds and 10+ repeated major weight loss attempts. After over 3 years on this site I have finally reached and even went under my weight goal - which was 140 pounds ...
WOO-HOO!!
... even if part of it is one undesirable symptom of presenting with diabetes Type 2 ... my lifestyle has been no match against high blood cholesterol, which is hereditary and has worsened a bit; I also have low blood pressure ...
[Be careful ...

[Be careful what you wish for in the weight loss department...]
I did not ask for any of these diseases, but it's never too late to turn things around!
But I'm not leaving Sparks any time soon.
Sparkpeople is hosting my first-ever blog ...
not counting that time I did the Dr. Phil diary website, because that was not really a blog in those years ... and nobody could post comments to it ...
Anyway, Walden Pond is not suitable for swimming, anyhow ... my tough schedule and other matters made swimming a distant memory ...
I still keep my hand in doing some yoga ... it used to be practically my sole form of exercise from 2011 through just recently.
Attention: while I believe "pre-diabetes" is a made-up diagnosis [I, personally, never went through that stage], any pre-diabetic who gets very into yoga should also supplement their yoga practice with actual cardio ...
that is, exercise that leads to both rapid AND deep breathing at the same time. Rapid and deep breathing, not just your heart pounding, not just a raised pulse rate!
You could get that just watching a horror movie ...
Well, anyway, though--nutrition is more my bag ...
And as ever, YMMV ...
Thanks to everyone here at SparkPeople!

My Goals:
Would like to continue keeping off this weight.
I had been obese since early childhood. I could not keep all my extra weight off for an appreciable amount of time. Then I formulated and started my own diet on December 27, 2002, that I never went off of, literally!
I kept my weight off for 6 years with not too much problem.
Then, these 10 pounds... and soon 20... wanted back on me ....
My Program:
Nutrition all the Way! 2nd UPDATE: Must be low-carb. Could be pescetarian under better circumstance. I have to ditch nearly all carbs, excepting breakfast and metabo-meal. I don't eat chicken, red meat or game meats (or anything of the pig/pork family, but that last part should go without saying.) Diagnosed as a diabetic, but I refuse to give in without a fight.
Now on 1,275 calories' maintenance program per day—with my hectic life! Which includes too-little Cardio (managing high blood cholesterol AND diabetes!) ... but I am learning bit by bit.
And as far as cardio, to come back for second helpings ....
