  • As of this morning I'm 167.8 lbs as of this morning (yeah, I'm gonna count those decimals!). Looking to get down to 130 - 135. Only 33 more lbs. minimum to go! I started seriously tracking and adding exercise on the 7th and I've already lost 1.6 lbs. Everyone, anyone, feel free to add me!

  • Hi Lisa! I'm April. 29 years old, Type 1 diabetic. I have gained about 40 lbs since August. Long story short, I was being treated for Type 2 diabetes and only found out I was Type 1 (thankful for my knowledgeable endo who did a type test) this past August so everything I ate was being discarded by my body as waste... I…

  • Hi to both fellow diabetics! I'm 29, Type 1 since age 18. Insulin dependent, of course. I started getting serious with MFP about a week ago and so far have already seen my insulin dose decrease (and 1.4 lbs drop off!). Good luck and I know that this site can help you.

  • I have a similar work situation. I commute two hours a day round trip, I have a desk job (8+ hours a day), two girls, and a live in boyfriend. I also am a full time student (online).

  • I personally don't eat back my calories. I figure if I don't, its a bigger deficit and quicker weight loss. However, if I feel like I am STARVING and cannot go without more food for the rest of the night, I'll eat them.

  • In my perfect world, I would love to lose 40 lbs by summer. In my realistic world, I'll take 25 lbs by the beginning of summer then work on the last 15 by the end of the year.
