I think she's also lying to herself. Sometimes I feel ok because I was anorexic, and I actually really hated myself for loving how thin I was. But I could finally fit into almost anything and look good- I was breaking down emotionally because I began to feel like I'd never be skinny or pretty enough. But now I've let…

Thank goodness for the strides we make here that helps us through our life though! Chin up and keep pushing everybody! It sucks that we've all shared similar experiences- but at least we know we're not alone

I'm about to have my third baby myself , after he appears I'll be on the same track! Feel free to add me! B)
-
Nice welcome! Gonna add you if that's ok ! You should tell the wife to add me too. I'm envious of your Fitbit I really want one but I need other things before I go spend the money lol
-
Is that borderline diabetes? I have gestational . I'm learning more about it too, I'll add you. We can help each other!
-
I've been there! Push through girly! I also feel like women get out of breath quicker because we have huge fat sacks over our lungs :o
-
@earlnabby That's surprising about the red wine! Exactly my thoughts though, everyone is different. Which is why I didn't want to rely on "fatherly advice". @jgnatca thank you for the encouragement. I think it's often forgotten that doctors get busy, and aren't always forthcoming with information - thus thankfully we have…

Crustless quiche at the moment. But we have this turkey maple Brie sandwich here and it's amazing!

I go into idc mode but I still attempt to log though I really don't eat much at all when I'm sick. My go to is Gatorade. And crackers.

Thank you! I went to that site and gathered some info. I'm in the us - my insurance covers strips and lancets but not the meter but thankfully that wasn't much so I've been doing the tests. So far so good. One week down anyhow! Hope you're all having a lovely day ! Thanks for all your help !

I sense a few people are currently changing their profile picture now XD I have a photographic memory so saving photos isn't necessary on my end >:)

Odd Thomas series, the host, the restaurant at the end of the universe (again) , and happy death - I'm one of those people who can't make up their mind.... So I read several XD

Thank you all for the input but my doctor basically told me to "just follow the sheets" and then reach out for input on forums, or look into literature etc. "Almost all the questions you'll have can be answered through peer resources". I'm a big believer in what works for one doesn't for another so gathering a general…

Thanks ! What's considered a spike? Even on my worst day my blood sugar read as 130, 2 hours after I ate a huge dinner. I've been going by the standards that under 140 is normal for after meals and under 99 is normal for fasting- have I been incorrect ?
-
I am not on insulin. They said only if my blood glucose levels couldn't be managed by diet . The nutrition sheet is for a 2,000 calorie diet, I'm definitely not trying to hit 2,000 a day but it has happened. I've been trying to stay away from starchy carbs though. I'm afraid to try to eat them though. Thank you for…

I agree with you about the intro thread! Posts also get cycled through so often that your 3 day old post gets over looked simply for not being new. Welcome!
-
500 is what I've been told, but also up your liquid intake as well! I'm about to have my 3rd child and the liquids thing was very important for production!
-
Ah the dreaded plateau! I always get there and lose my self . Keep your chin up and stick with it one way or another the plateau is short term for most people. How often do you work out?
-
Same here. Chocolate is my Achilles heal. Well... Sugar is really. Don't get too discouraged! If it's what your body craves then having one piece a day should just be apart of your plan! And chocolate possesses a lot of good qualities like calcium, protein, iron. Don't let yourself get too discouraged!
-
Ok - thanks SC ; I understand that sentiment ; as hot as it's been I don't have to shovel snow so I'll just stay here.... :-P I do have weekly weigh ins and such but I've added and will cheer you on too ! And hi Jim!
-
I'm 14-15 weeks and told to diet! They say high protein low carb so I've been on Pinterest looking up several recipes. I'll add you and we can do this!
-
I can actually probably google that information and find it! I have a few games but none the kids like love- sadly Haha Thanks for the input !
-
Lol! I have that routine when I play games like fallout or assassins creed. But not with soda - water... And food...
-
I'm taking everything necessary and blowing through bottled water like no body's business
-
Thanks ! I'm trying but it's tough- I'll get into the swing of it soon I'm sure.

Tampa, Florida , US- jealous of everyone not sweating their tits off when they walk outside XD add away

Great job! I was also told to watch carbs but I'm concerned because there are good carbs that you need! Versus obviously the ones you don't. As far as cholesterol goes: http://www.prevention.com/food/food-remedies/10-best-cholesterol-lowering-foods May I add you ? We can keep each other motivated !
-
It is definitely a good app for counting calories; I've found it helps to write everything down that I've eaten and then at the end of the day adding everything in- otherwise I feel I can't keep up because my nose is always in my phone while eating.
-
Good luck! :)

I'm pregnant . I was just told I I should be on a strict diet, which I'm not doing well on- surprise surprise :s . We should motivate each other because I'm losing for health not appearance as well!
