Hi everyone!

[DanDanB]

A few years ago, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and weighed around 260 pounds. That was a big wake-up call for me. Since then, I’ve made steady changes, eating more whole foods, walking regularly, doing home workouts, and focusing on long-term habits instead of quick fixes.

I’ve been maintaining around 200 pounds for over a year now. One thing that’s really helped is logging my food consistently.

I don’t follow strict diets or aim for perfection. I just try to keep things balanced and manageable, especially for my blood sugar. I’m always looking for simple, realistic tips that fit into everyday life. Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Daniel

Hi @DanDanB , welcome - and thank you for sharing your story!

It’s incredibly inspiring to hear how you turned things around after your diagnosis. Maintaining a 60-pound weight loss for over a year is no small feat - that shows your consistency and commitment to long-term health. Focusing on whole foods, regular movement, and realistic habits sounds like a solid and sustainable approach for you.

I like what you said about not aiming for perfection. That’s such an important reminder - it’s about progress and balance, not strict rules.

Logging food consistently can make such a difference with blood sugar management, especially when you're trying to spot patterns and adjust without feeling overwhelmed. It’s great to hear how that’s been helpful for you.

Looking forward to learning more from your experience and sharing tips - this kind of practical mindset is so valuable to the forum!
