  • @AnnPT77 I hear you about the knees! I want to think I noticed a little less creaking the last time I did the routine so maybe there's some progress! I used to love biking and I did tons of it back when I was young and single. We need to get our bikes serviced and go out on some of the trails now that it's going to be…

  • I know you can't force anyone to do anything but it's a shame that he won't seek medical attention. I snored for years and blamed it on a deviated septum instead of admitting that I might have sleep apnea. I finally did a sleep study and guess what? Mild sleep apnea. I use a CPAP now and the difference in my quality of…

  • Losing 60 pounds is a great accomplishment and I would bet that everyone who sees you thinks you look amazing! But I understand all too well how you feel about yourself as this was me 20 years ago. I had lost 150 pounds, looked great, and was in great shape but still thought of myself as fat so I kept restricting food and…

  • I like to pre-log the day and often multiple meals for the week. For workdays, I'll often eat the same (or a similar) breakfast or lunch on multiple days, so it's easy enough to log those in advance. Then I can see what numbers I have left for dinner. It's easy enough to make adjustments as needed.

  • When I look for a recipe online, I just want the ingredient list and the directions (what temperature/how long). It seems like every recipe I find lately has some extensive background story or blog prior to this part. I don't care about any of this and do not read it. It's air fried tilapia, not some earth-shattering…

  • I was given the Contour Next EZ and it really is EZ to use. With my insurance, the meter itself was free and the Microlet lancets are super cheap. The strips are what costs the most. My doctor prescribed I test twice a day but I like the option to do more so I bought extra strips and lancets directly from the Ascensia…

  • Hi Jessica! I'm also Type 2. I was diagnosed a few months ago and have also had to change my eating and lose weight. Pasta, baked goods, candy, etc., all of that is stuff I love. I've found that MFP has been really useful for me for tracking carbs and calories. A lot of times I'll track the full day in advance, or even…
