    Hi everyone. I'm a 45 yo female who has been obese to super obese all my life. I have been diabetic for 8 years, and my most recent A1C was close to 12. I am tired of being unable to do the things I want to do and I want to improve my bg levels so that I can extend my life expectancy and feel better. I am a supportive friend, and would love to connect with any of you, please add me if you like

    Someone ate the first oyster. And someone ate the first durian. I bet that bean-whip has a lot of salt, though.

    If you use sodium free beans then there's none!

    I will have to keep my eyes open for those. I should check my labels - I may already be buying them. But I doubt it. Will this work with other beans, or just cici beans? I've been enjoying a tri-bean blend lately. Black, pinto, and red all in one can. Mmmmm....

    Apparently it should work with all beans but I guess if you used black beans it would be black

    It was very light like foamy. I added sugar but basically they're tasteless

    You can use it at a substitute for meringue so I'll try baking with it next. I know a girl who is vegan she can be the guinea pig

    To add friends on MFP on the desktop app:

    1) Click on the username in the left sidebar. A window showing the username will open.
    2) Click on the username again. The user's profile will open.
    3) Click on the "Add Friend" button on the user's profile page. There is an option to send a message along with the request. That's always a good idea - just a short note mentioning where you saw the user, some common interests or goals, etc.

    The struggle continues. I have had weight issues my entire life. Would love to find someone else or a couple of somoene's who is looking for a new lifestyle not just to diet and loose a few pounds. Working on adding exercise to my routine, getting down to at minimum 150 lbs and just win at this thing we call life. I would love a friend who would like to talk outside this app where we can truly reach out to each if needed through FB messenger or another texting app, since those are just easier to use, for me.

    Excellent. I'll wait for reports from your guinea pig 😉

    I have been attempting to not eat foods with processed sugar in them. I think I've been broadly successful at this.

    I failed on Friday, I think my first slip in a year.

    I was at a Michelin mentioned restaurant, having the six course taster menu. It seemed rude not to partake. The offending dish was a bannoffee, nutmeg and caramelised pecan thing. It was delicious.
