How do I add friends?

Me too! I need friends for support. All my friends have dropped out! Can people please add me to their friends? I need people, feedback & support!

Most of my friends seem to have stopped logging in. Everyone please add me too.

I don't eat right before bed. Eating before bed makes you wake up hungrier than if you didn't. I've done it and it didn't work and the doctor told me it's a big "no-no". That's not to say don't have a snack a few hours before bed. My limit is 9:45. So if I aim for my snack at about 9:30 it works out perfectly. Then…

My daughter hates vegetables, my success stories with her are: oven-roasted broccoli or cauliflower. cut up, drizzled w olive oil, sprinkle with minced garlic or garlic powder and a nice no salt herb blend. If you don't mind the salt, sprinkle parmesan cheese. Also acorn squash, cut in half and cleaned, add butter and…

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

Oh, OK. I will check out the link. Thanks!

First, I don't even know what my enable negative calorie adjustment is! I've only been doing this a few days. Explain like I'm an idiot. Because I feel like one, lol. Second, are you are saying that with my Flex I should not put in the walking in my exercise diary because Flex in recording it? Because my goals changed…

I think I need to lower my calorie goal because as a type 2 diabetic I'm counting my carbs which for me is more important than my calories. When I reach my carbs I stop whether or not I've reached my goal. That being said I was under my carbs so I guess I do have to eat more.

My husband says the same that I need to set it higher to count for fruits and veggies. Just need to know how high. Right now I'm moving it up to 40. I hope that is alright. Please post if anyone knows the answer.

Thanks

I'm Lisa. I'm looking for accountability buddies. This is my story. I've been overweight all my life. I have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and I damaged my heart from my crummy diet. God was tapping on my shoulder to make a change, but I was ignoring Him. You can only ignore God so long before He gives you a kick…

Spinach-stuffed portobello mushroom cap. I saute'd small bag of fresh spinach with olive oil and garlic. Then I stuffed two 3-inch (apx. 3 ounce) portobello mushroom caps with the spinach. Bake in oven on 375 about 25 minutes. Remove from oven, add 1 ounce of your favorite cheese to top of each cap. ( I used shredded swiss…

I'm a type 2 diabetic. The diet I'm following is a diabetic diet to help control my sugars and also to lose weight. So I count carbs, not calories. It's very close to the Mediterranean Diet, I think. I must eat 5 meals a day: breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. The 3 meals are only 45 carbs at breakfast, lunch and…

I've been fat all my life and had to endure many rude comments and cruel taunts as a child later a teen and even as an adult. It never made me stop eating, it made me want to curl up in a ball and go find a quiet place and stuff my face. There is a difference between motivation and disrespect. Encouragement helps more than…

No. Boston Market is full of salt. Rotesserie chicken from the grocery store is too. Better to just pop a chicken in the oven and make your own. Rinse chicken. Pat dry. Rub olive oil on outside of bird and wings. Sprinkle with garlic powder and herbs, both sides. Cook in oven on 350 for about a hour turning over to brown…

A lot of people hate veggies. They weren't my favorites either, but I went and looked up some recipes for vegetables I've never eaten before, and tried them. Some of them I liked and was willing to eat. Also, I tried cooking vegetables I was used to eating the same old boring way, a new way and I found I liked them better.…

Hi I'm Lisa. I am here because I screwed up. I have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and I damaged my heart from my crummy diet. I even had to start taking insulin a few years ago even though I am a type 2diabetic which usually doesn't have to take insulin. Back then I was taking 2 blood pressure pills a day and…

Measure and weigh everything. That was key for me. It's a pain at first but you get used to it. Eyeballing it will not work, we give ourselves too much food. Find a good diet plan that is one you can live with like Mediterranean diet. It's good for the long haul. Buy yourself a small kitchen scale and those measuring cups…
