Goal is 1450ish but realistically I am usually between 1400 and 1700. Any less and I am hungry all the time. Only losing .5 lbs a week but at least I am losing!

My stats are a bit different due to being taller (5’6” ish... sometimes I have been told I am 5’7”...), but my goal for loss is the same. Started at 172lbs want to get to 130lbs. Feel free to add me!

You can add me too!

I don’t have advice because I am fighting the same battle and haven’t figured it out yet! I have had Type 1 diabetes for 25, almost 26, years. Please feel free to add me as a friend if you wish! I am trying to cut carbs too but definitely not going full ‘Keto’. My insulin resistance is a problem for me too!

Looking to lose 40lbs. Add me as a friend!

Don’t think of this as a cheat meal or what you are doing as a diet. This should be long term goals for healthier eating and that means knowing how to make smart choices and not stressing over every calorie, because if you stress over every calorie for the rest of your life you will drive yourself insane. Smart choices at…

Can you tolerate Greek yogurts? They are much higher in protein than carbs so long as you don’t consume the ones with all kinds of added sugars

While feeling very hungry and very drowsy can be symptoms of low blood sugar, more common symptoms to watch for are sweating, dizziness/lack of coordination, shaking/tremor, a feeling of disorientation or confusion, and other people may perceive you to be 'drunk' (speaking as a Type 1 diabetic over 25 years.......had…

Feel free to add me!

I’m not about spending several bucks on a single beverage. I buy Starbucks whole bean coffee, grind it at home, and drink it with Stevia and a little bit of sugar free flavored powder creamer. Less than 30 cals for a 16oz coffee. If I were all about spending several bucks on a single beverage I would drink skinny vanilla…

Yes, ketchup on everything! Lol!

These sensitivities are very real. My husband does not have celiac disease (no visible small intestine damage, no production of antibodies) but if he consumes gluten he has terrible diarrhea and stomach pain. Prior to figuring out gluten was the culprit he had lost 10lbs he couldn’t afford to lose due to an apparent…

Me! Looking to lose around 40lbs (ultimate goal) but would be thrilled to lose 30! I have major health issues standing in my way (type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, thyroid issues, and mild gastroparesis) so I need friends to motivate me to keep with it and eat right! Not even working on increasing activity level yet as I…

I also come back and leave and come back etc to MFP. I paid for a year of premium membership in the hopes I can really stick with it this time! Feel free to add me as a friend - maybe we can work to keep each other motivated and on track??

Truly eating 'low carb' can be difficult (I've tried..and failed), because it limits your diet quite a lot. You can certainly cut out some carbs if you want, pretty easily - stay away from things like breads, cereals, crackers, rice, potatoes. Some fruits, like bananas, have more carbs in them than others, like berries, so…

This might possibly be the most short-sighted and ignorant comment I've seen in a looooong time. I have had Type 1 diabetes since I was 6 (over 24 years). So...that makes me genetically predisposed for addiction????? WTF? Please shared with us what research has ever correlated having diabetes with a genetic predisposition…
