You can do it! We all could use Cheering on and support.

My fur babies.❤️

So, despite all the naysayers I would ask yourself this...was I driping with sweat during and after the activity? If you truly worked up a sweat, no matter if it was washing a car or mowing the grass cleaning the gutters there is no reason not to count it. ESPECIALLY if you are trying to change from a sedentary lifestyle…

That's great! Keep going

I take my lab/ collie mix and lab out walking everyday. I'm have access to a great area where I can let them off leash on a dirt trail. I'm working my way up from walking to a slow-as-a-turtle jog. We love it!

I really do feel good getting back on track. Just finished walk/jogging with my two labs and I couldn't stop smiling. Felt great to be out of that darn car and moving!

Please add me!

Add me, too. I'm devoted to a healthier, leaner life. We can do this!

You can talk to me! I'm the only one trying to lose weight in my home as well. It's good to have someone to cheer you on. You can do this. You are not alone!

Ah! You inspire me to keep at it! Thanks for posting this!

I love, love, love this post. Sometimes we just have to vent or rant and say what we really feel! That darn food industry has done a fantastic job of calculating the bliss point. That magical ratio of fat/sugar/ salt that keeps us jonesing for more. And people who try to tell you that a cauliflower pizza crust is just as…

I hate being hungry, and honestly I LOVE food. That's how I got so overweight, of course. I try drinking water to fill that void, and just tell myself that hunger means my efforts are working. May sound stupid but I know if I go to bed hungry then I'll wake up the next with a better chance of seeing at least a small drop…

This should be a no snark zone.

Add me please!!!,

I'm just the same. No natural coordination or grace. But I've found that my quest to actually have fun with exercise this go round trumps my embarrassment factor. I intentionally sought out a line dancing class, a Latin dance class and a body vive class that all challenge my awkward self to find to the beat and kick I the…

I hope you don't mind me chiming in. I'm not Type 1 but my son is and he is on a pump and continuous glucose monitor. If you get on a pump and CGM I highly suggest you read Sugar Surfing by Dr, Michael Ponder. Being on a pump will allow you to really manage your insulin and carb dosing to a careful degree . With my son…

I really liked bodypump at the Y but the classes were so full that we were packed like sardines.

My plan for the day is to find a way to work the word " codswallop" into a conversation. You made me snort my coffee!

I'm IN! Let's cheer each other on!

I've got 50 lbs to lose and could use a buddy. Feel free to friend me for support and encouragement.

I'm a SAHM with 3 kids. I try to log everyday and could use buddies, too. I work out at the YMCA at least every other day. I started at 194 and have only lost a few pounds so far but each one counts, right? At 5'2 , 48 years old I plan to get down to 140.

Getting older is NOT for sissies, that's for sure. I've gone back and forth over my life from being very overweight and sedentary to good weight but exercising like a crazy person til I literally had toenails fall off and stress fractures in my feet. Seemed like I couldn't find a way to keep a healthy weight without it…

That is awesome! Keep up the great work, you inspire me!!!!

I'm shocked! As the mom of a type 1 D and insulin resistant myself I am astounded your medical team has not told you to focus on carbs. Being aware and managing carbs and exercise are KEY for us. You need to find a more qualified DE. Hang in there!❤️

Excellent question. I know very little as well but I'm sure this group can point us in the right direction for info.

So much great information here. Thanks everyone ! The fogginess has cleared up and it's just the headaches that are still bothering me. I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Wow

Thanks, everyone!

That's awesome! You inspire me!
