I had to start on insulin today....
It's the 24-hour kind, so I only have to take it once a day. I use a pen, and it didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. I'm not happy about going on insulin. I also have to wear diabetic support socks. It hurts too bad to exercise. I used to walk at the mall, but my arthritis is so bad I can't do that right now. Any…

where am I going wrong?
So far, I've been very happy with my weight loss--for the most part. But for the last 3 weeks I haven't been losing any weight--in fact I've gained. Before the weight gain I was down to about 154 lbs. Now it seems like every day I fluctuate between 156-158. I thought it was maybe because I was about to start my period, but…

Hey all, really needing support today.
I had posted about this on the motivation/support board already but I am having a hard day, possibly the hardest day since I started this journey. (I refuse to call it a diet because it is a new lifestyle for me). I have done very well since starting this process in September. I am down about 68 lbs and feel great. I had a…

Can't take it anymore
Ok, I am going to vent and be selfish, but I can't hold it in anymore! I would talk to my friends and family, but they are all so nice that they won't hear the words I am saying; they'll just say, "Oh, you look fine." AHHH! Ok, what is spawning this is the fact that I have been on this diet for 2 and a half months and have…

Chocalatea Goodness
If anybody has a craving for some chocolate but wants to skip on the calories I just got my new Tea of the month in from Adagio and to my surprise it was a black chocolate tea. It tastes a lot like a warm cup of nestle quick chocolate and with a bit of honey is very very good. It's definitely one of my new favourite teas.…

The only time I find that I really turn to food is when I…

Honeymoon
A young couple on their wedding night were in their honeymoon suite. As they were undressing for bed, the husband, a big burly man, tossed his trousers to his new bride and said: "Here, put these on." She put them on and the waist was twice the size of her body. "I can't wear your trousers," she said. "That's right,'' said…

Confusion about body fat
I'm confused. According to this website http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html it says: You have 24.1% body fat. You have 50.9 Pounds of fat and 160.1 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water). So this means 24.1% of me is fat? My sisters scale that measures body fat by sending an impulse…

The wonders of TEA!
Ok, this may be a total coincidence, but I thought I would share anyways in case someone else wants to try it. If you've hit a plateau I strongly reccomend drinking 8 cups of decaf tea everyday with no sweetener or cream or anything. I had slowed down to about a pound a week and for the last 3 days I've been pounding the…

Calcium chews
Hi All! I just realized that the calcium that I'm taking daily is adding up, calories-wise. I'm wondering what other MFP-ers do for their calcium. Two chews a day is 40 calories and 8 carbs. They're sugarfree and they're yummy...but I sure would like to have another "treat" in place of these vitamins. Thoughts?

Bite Size Food - My personal enemy!!
I have to say one thing I really love about this calorie counter, is that it's bringing to light how ignorant I've been in terms of the effects of simply snacking! Over the years I've developed a bad habit of snacking on little things here and there, and writing them off in my mind... but they count! Literally! It really…

Wow, I am better than I thought!
So, I just did the Home Body Fat Test that someone posted a little while back. It says I am at 20.5% body fat. I have 37 lbs of fat and 146 lbs is the rest of me. Ok, that is WAY better than I thought I was doing! :drinker: That pretty much makes my goal of losing another 37 lbs an impossibility. Anyone know how accurate…
