@m188213 we are always happy to help them in whatever way we can.
You are doing all of the right things to help yourself avoid having the pre-diabetes developing into diabetes.

You are definitely sounding motivated. In your quest to lose weight, take a look at MyFitnessPal.com. You record everything you eat and it tracks nutrients for you. I found it to be hugely helpful. I lost a great deal of weight using it. It makes you very conscious of those little things you might mindlessly snack on because if you don’t record everything you are cheating yourself.

I also have a digital scale and weighed myself every morning. Digital is of course more precise. Mine also approximates BMI and fluid retention. It cost less than $50 when I bought it about 5 years ago. The approximations tend to balance BMI with fluid retention so when I am retaining a lot of fluid my BMI appears to be ridiculously low. I don’t pay a lot of attention to that but I do like that it tells me a fluid retention %. That way if my weight is up but I see that my fluid is also up I realize that I probably just had too much sodium the day before.

The other thing I use is a fitness tracker. They run the gamut from very reasonable to very costly ones that have all the bells and whistles. I find it helps to motivate me to exercise.

I wish you success in losing weight and reversing your pre-diabetes before it develops into diabetes. Please keep us up on your progress, we can cheer you on!
