I am ready to get on board with "The TODD" on weight loss and Diabetes remission. Currently at 5'9" 260 pounds and pre-diabetic taking 2 metformins daily. Going to start with my eliptical for half an hour each evening and work that up to an hour.
Good luck.
I wish I could promote lighting in a bottle for you. The thing is, I've ran a different path then most that have had success in getting their diabetes under control. Most that I've talked to that have had any kind of success attribute it to a low carb diet with tons of exercise. The thing is, even at my most disciplined I was taking in triple to quadruple what those that swear low carb is the way to go. As for exercise...I've only recently begun jogging. Up until this point, as I get ready to cross the 100lb weight loss marker I've not exercised in the traditional manner. I do work at a job that has me moving around a lot - 25,000 steps the one shift I wore my wife's fitbit. And I'm lugging and slugging a lot...so burning calories for sure.
Do you monitor your blood glucose with a meter? If you're serious about getting your numbers below the pre-diabetic range you should track how your numbers react to the things you eat. The longer you spend humming at a high number, say because you have a weakness for chocolate, or chips, the more it will hurt your over all score. Find and eat the things that don't spike your sugars and get that body moving and I bet you can get your numbers straightened out.
