I love this site. I posted a thread about my Dad's diabetes and have had the most overwhelming number of posts with support, advice and kind words. Words that have brought me to tears at times. I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been in touch. I've been able to pull together a much stronger evidence base for my Dad to convince him about low carb and have been able to draw on articles and suggest books for him to read. I just hope he can now take all of this and run with it because I don't want this to beat him.

Usually, I'm not big on sweets, but some evil urge has taken wrath on me to consume sweets! I have not given in, but I'm miserable! Seeing as how I'm on an ultra low diet, my options seem minimal. I've tried the sugar-free Jello, which didn't satisfy my craving and crystal light which also did nothing for me! I just wish I could eat a protein bar or something! If anybody has any suggestions that would be awesome before I bite someones head off!

It's the eve of my last at work weigh in. I decided to check the scale this morning and I was surprised to see 228.5! I was so happy considering the burger, fries and other snacks that I had this weekend. Goes to show AGAIN that if I follow the program the program will work. I don't have to be scared to eat. I don't plan on doing another ww at work session because I happened to go to a meeting at a center and I enjoyed that more. Plus I can be incognito.

I've been toying around with the idea of trying to follow ww on my own without going to the meetings. Maybe online? My job...

My Dad has type II diabetes. He just got diagnosed. He is 60 years old, overweight, drinks far too much and doesn't exercise. He is, there's no denying it, an old man and it makes me sad as I remember him in my youth as so incredibly active and healthy.

I have been quite shaken by this news, although I am not surprised. For some time now I have been worried about his health. Especially since I have had children in the last few years. I worry that they won't get to enjoy him as a grandfather and that would be the most terrible shame as he is the most wonderful man and has...
