I love this thread. I need this so much also. I agree with Aries. Don’t weigh yourself too often (once a week on average is enough to see a trend). Weight can change drastically with eating a salty meal (water weight). Judge your success on following a plan (and clothing fit) not numbers.
I did weight watchers last year and lost about 50 pounds. You can sign up and do it online or go to a group meeting. You meet people of all sizes who are struggling with their weight and they celebrate your successes. They give good tips ideas for meals (oatmeal pancakes: my kids love them!). You might need to do a bit of research about recommended food choices (total carbs, fruits etc) as a diabetic.
A food log is really helpful, but beyond that I’d recommend pre-planning meals. Thinking when you’re starved is tough. Think of your favorite meals, then pre-plan quantity you can have to help you lose weight. Just the weight loss alone can probably help to bring down those numbers.
Are you open to hiring a trainer? Many go to people’s homes and it’s a set appointment where they help you get in shape.
