Thanks for the link!

Oh no! I work hard on my elliptical. This so sad. Looks like I am off by 75 calories! But I cannot do more than 45 mins.

so awesome! thank you tons! thank you so much for your time, this is such a long detailed reply! indeed I am limited on bread since I do not take meds. I agree pizza is death in a box for diabetics. its is better to have pizza with salad. but I cannot even do that. the mere smell of pizza will give me a spike. thanks again.

since I go to gym Daily. I am not dependent on any medicines. but when I know I am going to eat Chinese or overeat during those once in a month restaurant visits, I give myself a shot of insulin 20 units. I tried meds but they work only when I work out in gym. metformin gives me a sick stomach, so I take glyburide at most.…

thank you. very useful info! will def keep in mind.

thank you this is so sweet of you.

Thank you. I admit the waist line has shrunk a bit for me too. Atleast I don't feel embarrassed now!

Wonderful mama! Walkin is the remedy I believe in. As a teenager I lost huge with walking and yoga. Wish I had kept doing this.

You are right, when hungry I was binging on fried chicken. Most fast foods will offer grilled chicken only in salad. Wish they would sell grilled chicken nuggets. Joining an diet apps has opened my eyes to these differences. But I cannot resist curry chicken which is also high on oil.

Congrats on such excellent control. I am wowed too. Thanks for sharing the process.

Thanks a ton! This was very helpful.

You are not concerned. You are just rude person who cannot think from other persons constraints. Mind your own buisness as far as my posts are concerned.

Thanks that helps

Thank you, steamed for me now on! You look fabulous! How do you feel now?

Thanks a ton! This is the point I agree on. For diabetic blood sugar control is best way to loose weight.

I started to type out a long response to all of this, but I'm convinced I would be wasting my time. You have a way that you are determined to do things, regardless of what the science says. You have an answer, an argument, and an excuse ready for every person in this thread who has tried to help you so far. Until you get…

Thank you, and you are not rude at all. I got that point you are trying to make here the moment I started logging the calories. I was eating the curries alone. Since I just cannot eat the accompanying rice or wheat bread. And I have some good news from me, looks like I did loose some lbs in last ten days. Since I upped the…

Thank you, I got that too the moment I started logging the calories. I was eating the curries alone. And I have some good news from me, looks like I did loose some lbs in last ten days. Since I upped the exercise and started using measuring cups.

I am measuring sugar levels only. Carbs give me big spikes. I indulge in carbs only if I have a activity planned, like taking baby out for a walk or a glass of juice before I hit the gym. Activity brings in good control on spikes.

I am type 2. My sugars are almost less than ten grams. But carbs give bad spikes, so I also limited. Four tsp of rice will spike me by 40 points. :neutral_face:

I am saying 180 and not 140. Since it's too much squeeze.

I agree the amount of calories in a tsp of oil and nuts are shocking. The only month I lost weight was when I quit non veg including eggs completely. For a month only though.i realized chicken was very high in cals. So it's just fish and egg whites for me. But you are right! Portions are shocking.

Being diabetic means I can't eat carbs. My husband can eat one cup rice but I cannot eat more than a tsp of rice. I have to fill in with carrots and cucumbers. Plus I get tired. Six months on elliptical and my progress is only thirty mins on light mode.

I burn 247 on elliptical at fat burn mode everyday in thirty minutes. The machine tell me so. I use cups now to be sure. I was guessing till now. It's shocking! Oil just one tsp is 37 calories? I realized oil plus nuts were killing me. Since I am diabetic and like to snack on low carbs, nuts came as easy tasty option. But…

Thanks for understanding. I try to eat less carbs, but they seem to be in everything. Eating more fat and protein gave me a solid pot belly. So much that I looked pregnant due any time. Exercise has reduced the belly fat so I look a bit respectable. I am relying on slow fat burn on elliptical and yard work. Since I get…
