Six pounds is great.I know it is hard with the younger ones to get them to drop pounds, I too am working with it with my daughter for the same reasons. Keep up the good work and it will pay off. Good Luuck.

Yeah! Diabetes is hard to live with. I am praying that continued healthy diet and fun exercise keeps your son from being diabetic. Good for both of you. One step at a time is all it takes.

He was showing signs of pre-diabetes, and the doc sent him to a ped. nutritionist. He saw the doc yesterday for a follow-up and he's lost 6 pounds since the late spring! Yay! She was very, very happy with him. He's got a follow-up with the nutritionist soon, so we'll see what she says -- how much more weight she wants him to lose...

We haven't been training recently for the 5k we're running in October (we were on vacation, then he had major asthma & allergy issues for the last few weeks) but hopefully we're going to start up again this week.... And we'll see how it goes with his breathing... But I know this will help the process; he really needs more exercise. He's a dripping ball of sweat the 2 days a week he does tae kwon do, which I'm really happy about, but besides that he's a total couch potato... says the mother spud...
