I don't see anything wrong with it but then I live 10 minutes from a legal brothel.

Went to a clothing optional function for Beltane with my coven. Do it every year.

Looneyspoons.com also allrecipes.com . You have to search a little on allrecipes but they have a good search function to narrow the search.

I used to have a cat that would sit in the window and "bark" (hearing a cat trying to bark is hilarious, btw) to alert the dogs of "danger" such as, paper blowing in the street, a lady walking her dog, a bird sitting in the tree, etc. The dogs would then respond with a frenzy of barking, not one of which knew at what they…

This makes you a superhero! Congratulations!

Yes, but it must be fried first!!

Yes, but hopefully not in the ladies' bathrooms.

I prefer the gym. My home is where I go to relax, not work out, so I tend to put off working out until it's too late, I'm too tired, the dogs want attention, etc. I hit the gym right after the work, before I get home, so once I get home I just relax. Also, even the crappiest gym is better equipped than my own home could…

These blood sugars are actually pretty good. Having an A1C drawn wouldn't be a bad idea, though, if your doc thinks it's necessary.

Of course this thread will go on @Carlos_421! This is the greatest porn thread of all time (food porn!)

This is the *kitten* that killed Elvis!

OP, visiting your doctor is an excellent idea. Lowering blood sugar sometimes takes a while, even months. 100-124 isn't too bad, but your doctor will most likely order a blood test called an A1C to determine whether you are diabetic or not, and if so, whether to treat it or wait three months to see if the new diet corrects…

This seems small but to me it's HUGE! I passed up the cupcakes in the breakroom to eat my sensible lunch. Usually I would be the first one in the breakroom to grab cupcakes (at least 2 - more if I could do it without being seen!)

If the nurse went to medical school that would make him/her a doctor, not a nurse. I can tell you this because I went to nursing school and became a nurse. I don't think I want to take advice from a person who goes doesn't know to what school he/she went.

I would do this too, so I just use each day as a snapshot.

I actually tried this. I'm a T2D so blood sugar spikes are important to me. About a year ago, I decided to test the "artificial sweeteners causes blood sugar spikes" rumor. I fasted for a four hours, then drank a 20 oz Diet Pepsi. For the next two hours I took my blood sugars every 15 minutes. They ranged from 97-109, with…

When I first started I was completely clueless. I tried to work with a trainer but he wanted me to work with free weights all the time even when I told him that lifting free weights, even really light ones, gave me a sharp head and neck pain (the weight machines don't.) I quit working with him and asked some of the men and…

Avocados are high in potassium, as are bananas. If you still require more potassium, try changing your sodium salt to potassium salt such as:

Try taking a stool softener, like docusate sodium, along with the fiber. The docusate sodium will not cause dependence like a laxative (which you might try as a one-time treatment) and you can take it every day, until your body adjusts to your new diet. Btw, you should not go more than 3 days without a bowel movement.

I hate it, but like the OP, it's the only thing that works for me. I'm beginning to like it (at least at the end when I feel like I've accomplished a goal.)

Running does have a different calorie expenditure. OP, I had the same experience. I didn't start losing weight until I started running (slowly and for short periods of time, now much faster and longer). I added in some strength training as well, which seemed to stall the weight loss, but I can see a definite downward trend…

My blood glucose is ALWAYS >100 d/t T2d . I'm losing fat aeb my fat % dropping when measured by my doc.

Love your attitude!

That is not irrational!

I have to agree with hekla90. I am a nurse and believe me, you would not rather have a stroke or heart attack. Imagine not being able to speak, understand your loved ones, walk, feed yourself or wipe your own butt ever again. Pull up your big girl panties while you still can and take the meds until/unless your doctor tells…

Don Johnson - that takes me back a bit!

Robot Chicken! OMG I miss that show!!

How do you feel about Star Wars?

Nope. I love fat free cottage cheese, and I was raised on full fat cottage cheese because when I was young there was no fat free or low fat. The only fat free food I cannot eat is salad dressing. Reduced fat is okay but fat free salad dressing has a weird taste/aftertaste.
