It seems this thread has been revived in the last few days. It's time to fill y'all in a bit.

Weight loss has been moving along at a rate of a pound or two per week. I'm now down to 319 (today) from a starting weight of 363. That's 44 pounds towards a goal of 250. Sixty-nine pounds to go.

FBG this morning was 115. The last month, or so, it's been hovering around there instead of the high-eighties, low-nineties it was a few months ago. Diet has changed somewhat in that I've been eating too much of a good thing - too much meat and too large a portion of salad. I often don't even eat salads anymore and eat one about every other day. Carbs are being watched very closely, but portion size is pretty much out of control and meal timing is sketchy, at best.

My stress load is about to the point of being catastophic. I know that is a contributing factor in how I'm treating myself. With any luck, I'll be able to shake some of it loose in the next few weeks and get to a bit of "normalcy" (like normal is an actual goal).

Exercise has been pretty much non-existent. Now that it's cooled down a bit, I hope to get the bicycle on the road. Just a few more maintenance issues to resolve - grease rear wheel bearings, crank bearings, new rear brakes, and a new seat. The current seat gives me some discomfort (OK, it feels something like a torture device designed by Torquemada to elicit a confession of heresy out of me).

Since my weight loss, I have been able to get rid of all blood pressure medication. Buh-bye and good riddance. More importantly, the glyburide has been cut in half from 5mg/day to 2.5 mg/day (1.25 twice a day). I figure I may be able to get rid of that somewhere around the loss of another 30 to 40 pounds. We'll see.

I haven't been on this site for about five months and I think that hasbeen a contributing factor in my troubles with a stall in losing weight and the BG numbers being a bit high. I plan to be checking in here more frequently, if for no other reason than to remind myself I have a job to do and I need to pay better attention.

In the eloquent words of the old Bartles and James commercials, "Thank-you again for your support."
