    cabman......try an apple for a night snack, sounds dumb I know, but the munching and biting required takes quite a bit of effort...and its really rewarding somehow..! I'm rather addicted to them for that reason,,, plus they taste insane when they have been in the fridge.

    Keep pushing yourself...you can do more than you realize.

    ps...just to make you laugh,, I always take the apple sticker (that is normally on the apple skin) and put in on my nose....then eat my apple and look at my husband and say "what?" Lol just to make him have a big of a chuckle....

    I'm in. Just joined MFP today and am looking for daily motivation. A little about me...48 soon to be 49 female, 5' 5", been overweight all my life, type 2 diabetic on insulin trying to eat low carb and get in more activity. My all time highest weight was 243 in 2015, currently at 194.8.

    So...
    Starting weight: 194.8 - 2/13/2018 (I weigh myself daily but will only post weekly results)
    Goal weight: 150 - 1/1/2019
    Total weight loss: 44.8

    I can do this, I just need some support! Looking forward to posting and getting to know others!!!

    @mizzhunybee
    WELCOME! When I started my journey in 2013 I was T2D on Rx meds and 376# and 65 yo!

    Now I’m off all Diabetes Rx meds thanks to new Lifestyle. I’m only four pounds away from my WW GW of 184#

    I used this Challenge the past two years and lost 37# and 43# by TRYING to lose a pound a week! It helped me to really focus on a daily and weekly basis.

    Welcome I'm also a diabetic. Still on oral meds, But if I don't smarten up I'll end up on insulin This is my last chance, I kind of begged to stay off it this last time. So my next A1C better be good. Let's help each other along on this. We face a lot of the same problems. Probably high blood pressure, cholesterol I also have congestive heart had a stint put it. But feel great.

    See you lighter
