Hello! Good job on the 5lbs. Losing any amount of weight is hard. I started by cutting chips/snacks and French fries in August, to stopping alcohol a few weeks ago. Now my A1C, I am diabetic, is 5.5 and I am off one of my doabetes pills. So I decided to lose weight too. I am committed and I see you are too. Keep healthy…

Make sure you are counting liquid calories. In the past I failed to do that when trying to lose weight.

I will be happy it I lose one pound this week.

Original starting weight -194 April starting weight -192 April goal -187 Ultimate goal - 140

I got a coloring book and colored pencils and a new video game that is pretty intense. The coloring book I do while listening to ebooks, thank you Kindle Unlimited, and the game makes me angry at my playstation 4 and not food. My cat also LOVES to chase pieces of his food across the floor so I can do that forever and he'll…

One swap I made was making dips with plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream. I mix ranch dressing mix in 2 cups of plain greek yogurt and dip veggies in it. I have discovered sugar snap peas as a dipping veggie and it is yummy. I find recipes for main and side dishes that are as easy, low cal and decadent as I can. Also…

39 and counting and new diabetic. I hope to be at or close to my goal before 40.

Peanut butter toast is my favorite end of day snack. Sometimes a small glass of chocolate milk

I have been drinking so much water the last few weeks I can barely finish a can of diet soda.

All the advice on here is great. You may not cook but I would check out youtube and some cooking websites. I was an ok cook but have made some amazing recipes I didn't think I could from watching a video walk through. I don't even make complicated recipes. I reject any that look too complicated or have more ingredients…

I need more friends. Add me I need motivation and am looking to motivate others.

My doctor sent me to a dietician that recommended low carbs and gave me some ideas. I wanted to try MFP so I could see the number as I think I am doing something wrong as my weight didn't change though I drastically changed how much food I eat. My doctor put me on 500mg of metformin and said to take it, eat better and we'd…

I have been doing Just Dance Unlimited. I am working on doing every song A to Z and go about an hour a day plus a 30 minute walk with my dog.

I joined because I need to lose weight for my health and need and want people to go through the weight loss with me. I am also becoming a pretty good cook. :)

A button up blouse. My tummy sticks out so I have to buy them so big they look like smocks.

Add me! I need all the motivation I can get! I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 2 weeks ago and need to eat better for my health. I have discovered a love of cooking and the satisfaction of cooking most of my own food instead of eating out or prepackaged stuff.
