Kim Johnson, thanks so much for the explanation...I understand the basics, but will have to really 'think' about allyou said. I'm working with a nutrition team as well as a trainer, so I'll ask them what is the best plan for me.

The point of the nutrition ppl is to lose weight-less than 2 pounds per week, by eatting the best foods for me to prevent diabetes.

The point of the trainer is to teach me how to work out.

I am working at all of it, and it is very time comsuming to figure out my food journal every day....which is required of me with the nutrition class. Has been very helpful to me.
