I don't want to get diabetes and I need to loose weight- suggestions?

I am a 33 year old male who is 75 lbs. overweight. Between the ages of 37-40, my brother and father
were both diagnosed with type II diabetes. At the time of their diagnosis, both were overweight
also. Bottom line... I DON'T want to get diabetes and my risk is greatly reduced if I shed at least
75 pounds. Five years ago, I nearly lost the 75 pounds I needed to and then gained it back all
because I stopped power walking and started to eat again. I changed jobs, so I haven't had a chance
to do the intense walking I used to use to shed pounds. However, I feel that to be totally
successful this time, I MUST change my thinking too. I eat when I'm bored or nervous, and generally
overeat at meals. I've been doing this ever since I was a little kid. How can I make my weight loss
permanent and just stop eating? Walking would do it, but the minute I slow down or am in a
situation where I can't walk for some time, I start gaining my weight back. It must come from the
mind too. Help!

Thanks, Rick Johnston

Go to the URL below & check out allergic reactions to Aspartame. This is no hoax - I'm a
recovering victim.

Caution: Diet sodas have been known to cause weight gain and raise blood sugar count. Most everyone
is a candidate for Type 2 diabetes.

Other than that - there are real good weight loss groups. Just go to Discussion & type in
weight loss
----------------------------------------------
CaloriesCount.com. is a good site. It has free calorie counter plus give you an idea of calorie
count per day to lose weight.

I joined as in pay dues. It gives you a longer list to figure calories plus keep a running diary -
also gives you weekly diets. - each day you can plan your meals & check the calorie count OR you can
post what you've eaten and see what a good/bad boy you've been.

Hope this helps

I'm a type II diabetic and a member of forum.lowcarber.org.
I've been on a lowcarb diet for almost 3 weeks. My blood
sugars are very close to normal at all times, I'm not hungry
all the time, and I've lost 10 lbs. Woo-Hoo! Check it out.

I have lost 75 pounds and my BGs, BP, cholesterol, and
triglycerides are all in the normal range. My last A1C was
5.2. This is all from following a lo carb diet and exercise.

There are so many of us who wish they had written this
message at one time, me for one.

I'm not nearly the expert people on the
Alt.support.diabetes are, but I had a physical in
December with even better results. But I am still
IGT,prediabetic. It's a switch, a trigger. An autoimmune
response that the body learns and once learned, it can't
be unlearned. So don't go there. Do whatever you have to
do to get lean and mean. You can have good physicals all
along and then, BAM!

You just eat properly, low carb, cut out bad habits like
smoking and excessive drinking, and exercise an hour per
day. Every day. Vary it so you don't overuse certain
joints. Not swimming for some reason. It's hard to cut
fat by swimming, but running, fast walking, biking, heck,
tai chi. Anything! Get your heart rate up to 85% max for
your age, keep it there for over half an hour. You'll
lose weight, guaranteed.
