Good for you.....I have been on Trulicity or Ozempic for a couple years now. Whichever one cost less.

Went from 245 down to 165.....lost 80 pounds. I am at my high school weight of 56 years ago. Feel pretty good. My last A1C was 6.1. Before that 5.7

glenn57, Ken W,
I'm on a similar track regarding weight and A1C. Six months ago VA said I needed to attend classes to help lose weight and lower a1c or I would need to start some drugs. Last week was first blood test and it's down to 5.6.  Also, I've lost 38 pounds. The only negative is I now have trouble pulling back my bow.   :angry:

Ill tell you this. If you ever get a crossbow, get one with a crank to cock it.  I bought a Centerpoint dagger and the dang thing is harder to cock then pulling bow compound!  But it does shoot sweet with the scope!   :happy1:

I have been keeping A1C below 7 so far, so no pills either here..  if I could lose some weight that would be a bonus too..  I am eating way better foods too and that is huge for me...

113 lbs in 6 months?  I'd have to saw off a leg. Good job on the weight loss. Care to share your secret?
i have been a a diabetic med regime for a while and part of the side effects from those is weight loss. especially the Trulicity.

BUT........ i've eating better . less sweets, less helpings and just better foods. i have always liked fruits and veggies......... i just eat more of them.

i was going to treat myself to my favorite cold spring bakery donuts........but Teals didnt have them!!!! :confused: :banghead: :rotflmao: i thought of several sweet tooth substitutes :sleazy: but i chose to pass!!!!!!! :happy1:

It isn't. I just find how you start a thread and those guys send it political in about 8 posts rather amusing. Not your fault as far as I'm concerned .

From where I sit some of those guys can't wait to twist most any thread there political. And others fall right in.

Morning boys. 49 here and heading for near 70. It was near 70 yesterday and it was only supposed to be in the 50s. Doeas that mean 80s for today?  :confused: I wish it were a little cooler than that, but it was sure nice last night.  We got a load of firewood delivered yesterday afternoon. Happy about that. Got the 2 deer hides in the back off the blazer so I can drop them off after work in a hides for habitat box. Well, just another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

Mornin' gang! 48 at choretime heading for a high in the mid-70's. On Nov. 2nd, we'll take it. Supposed to be breezy with rain possible tomorrow nite so battening down the hatches around the ranch. Prolly take off from the office & run some errands this afternoon as well. Sheep are out of loose mineral & could use another block too. Can do some more clean up type putzing in the barn when I get back & maybe grind up more pine needles & leaves. Have to pick up a bunch of white pine cones for the wife 1st.

Morning boys.  Nice looking day and then highs will be dropping every day.  Think the boat will come out tomorrow.  So I tried to order a plastic cover for my 2 40 lb propane tanks on my fish house.  Want a black one.  I have a lot of credit on my Amazon card which is the way I like it.  They keep trying to make me use that instead of my regular credit card.  I want to build up that credit in case I want something real cool.  So they say they can't ship that to me from California.  WTH.  Well I tried 2 different brands and the same thing.  ???  The third time I let them try to put it on the Amazon card and bingo.  Will be here in 4 days.   What is up with that???  Man the Philly's were hot last night.  I was reading so had the sound down but they scored all night.  LOL  Really doesn't matter to me who wins.  Well have a good one boys.

My fault, I didn't look to see if a squirrel was in the bird feeder and let Cooper out.  The squirrel took off and Cooper got him.  One less squirrel.  He doesn't hesitate.  He nails them.  I guess that is what dogs do.

Lps I believe Cooper has gotten more tree rats than Glenn! Oh wait was that out loud?  ;) Afternoon peoples 75 here with some serious skirt alert winds. Was going to blow out the leaves otta the bushes and chop em up  but I'm sure I'd lose that battle today, maybe after Glenn is done pretending to stock shelves he can assist tomorrow  :happy1:  :rotflmao:. Anywho Remi will be turning 9 soon still has some great energy and lots of drive but it might time to get another Lab to help him out in the field.  Sure is fun watching 2 dogs ripping up a field , I just gotta get momma on board yet...to be continued...See ya!!
