Overweight and diabetic

This is English Rose new to the board.

I am overweight and also diabetic. Has anyone out there done the South Beach diet and overcome it? I did it 2 years ago and lost over 20 pounds and even got off my pills but you know it crept right back on. I have also had back surgery not too long ago and still hurt some at night especially. Can anyone relate to this and anyone have any ideas to help me out?

Thanks Englishrose

I'm not diabetic but they did say I have a good chance to get it since it runs in my family.

I look forward to getting to know you!

Thanks for the hug earlier that was very nice and I look forward to staying in touch with you also.I just had my surgery on Oct 1st and still hurt at night in my side. I had a disc removed and my Dr says I need to lose weight also. Sometimes it's easier said than done right?

Anyway take care for now

How are you today? I am doing just fine right now but I did hurt a lot last night and had to get my poor husband to rub my side real good. I will be so glad when I don't hurt anymore but you know I guess this is what you call part of the healing process. I weighed this am it's been a long time since I did that but I was surprised that I did not gain anymore weight even with the hols approaching too.

Have a great day.....................englishrose

I'm doing pretty good. Sorry for the delay, wasn't able to get to my email for a few days.

Are you ready for the holidays? I have most of the shopping done, now left with wrapping, then cooking on Christmas Day.

Glad to hear abt your weight.
