2/19 w 160.4 steps 21,530 calories eaten 1034 calories burned 2566 2/20 w 160.2

I will be here current weight 160.4 my next mini goal is 160 in ten days I would be happy to be 159 next mini goal would be 157 ultimate goal will be 145, then I will see if I can go lower. 2-20 2-21 2-22 2-23 2-24 2-25 2-26 2-27 2-28 3-1

I too was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (severe actually) and I have been on a 1200 (more or less) calorie diet since October, and lost 35 lbs. I haven't reversed my diabetes, but I have lowered my blood sugar and A1C some and hope to get back close to normal in another three months, with no drugs, just diet and exercise.…

I eat dinner late at night deliberately because evening to late night is when I want to eat. I usually eat breakfast anywhere from 10 to noon (a scrambled egg, a piece of whole wheat bread, a slice of cheddar) lunch anywhere from 2 to 4 pm, and dinner anywhere from 8-10. I may have a low calorie snack, like sugar free…

thanks for the article. I appreciate the information

weight 161.5. Just 16 pounds to go before I am no longer overweight! At the top end of ideal weight, true, but I hadn't realized I was that close.

I let it add the exercise calories but I only eat a fraction of them when I do eat them. I like seeing what I earned in exercise calories but it doesn't mean I have to eat them. I also regard them as a cushion for the inevitable miscounting of calories eaten, given our calculations can never be entirely exact.

My morning blood sugar is finally lower than my weight, after three months of low carb dieting. BS 159, weight 162. Hope to have it normal and be in the ideal weight range in another three months. No drugs, just diet and exercise

I am 68. Have lost 35 lbs since October, presently 162. Have another 20 to go to get to the high end of ideal weight. Just doing diet and exercise, mostly walking. About 1200 calories a day plus eating back a few exercise calories

I qualified due to type 2 diabetes to being on ozempic or whatever, but I had heard anecdotal reports of bad side effects of it (stomach paralysis, even when the drug is stopped, etc). And also anecdotal reports that when you go off the drug, you gain the weight back. Not worth it for me. I told the Phys. Asst. I would…

mini cucumbers are my latest favorite snack. Peel on, cut up thin. Each one is about nine calories, and they are as good or better than an apple IMHO.

mini cucumbers are a great treat. Peel left on, sliced thin.

I would cut your calorie intake to 1500. I am at 1200 and I run from 500-900 exercise calories, but I stay under 1500 on the days when I add a few exercise calories to my 1200. I'm 5'4" 162 pounds at present, 68 yo (reportedly a hard age to lose weight at) and I've lost about 40 pounds since October. You may actually have…

I like the sugar free Russell Stover chocolates. They run 50 to 75 calories a piece, but they are not supposed to spike your blood sugar. Some do contain malitol which some say does spike their blood sugar, so you can look into that and see who you believe, or if you decide to choose some other sugar free chocolate. Some…

Mine was 10+ three months ago. It is now 7.8, with just diet and exercise. I've lost 30+ pounds in the last three months as well. But my BS is still high (180-200). I don't want to take meds. I am low carb, generally 50 or under, some days I might go 100 grams for the day, but not more than a couple of times a week.…

In three months, with diet and exercise, no meds, I've lowered mine from 10+ to 7.8 I'm worried I won't be able to get it lower without medication. Is it possible?

Everything was fine yesterday. no exercise calories showing up today. Disconnected and reconnected and it still isn't working.

It's not working for me either. Was working fine yesterday. Changed nothing. Disconnected and reconnected bluetooth, and still doesn't work.

some people have had luck with disconnecting bluetooth and then reconnecting.

Have you seen the clip from the West Wing where Leo McGarry talks about alcoholism and drug addition? "I don't want one drink. I want ten drinks". That's what sugar addiction is like for a lot of people (including me). I don't just mean white sugar. I mean white flour, rice, processed carbs of any kind. The good thing is…

Honestly I'd go for moderation. Eating a head of lettuce (which you can't afford easily anyway) may just stretch your stomach and get you to expect huge meals. Then if you go off your diet, you may not feel satisfied unless you have a stretched stomach of higher calorie foods. So I would try to eat now what you plan to eat…

Changing that for shorter, older women (who TDEE is very close to that, mine is 1300) isn't going to make a difference to those with eating disorders. If they are willing to starve themselves to serious bodily injury why would an app limit make a difference?

I bought size 16 lee "insect shield" jeans a while back during a sale. I live in an area with lots of deer ticks spring through late fall and I practically live in insect sheild clothes during tick seasons. They were tight enough that while I could get them on, I didn't want to stretch them. Figured I would fit into them…

It will close out the day for me at 1000 calories, not 1200 but I find it annoying anyway. It's rare I don't eat at least 1000. But there are the rare days I'm under that, and don't feel like eating more. It more than balances because there are days that I eat close to 1500.

I lost 40 pounds three years ago. Gained 25 back over those three years. Went on a diet in October and lost those 25 pounds. So it can be done. In fact, once you start eating more healthy, you'll feel better. The desire to eat things you shouldn't does entirely go away, but there are compensations, like moving more easily,…

I met my last goal of 167 today (166.8), and set a new goal of 165. I am (according to government BMI tables) no long obese and am just overweight :smile Further I set a goal of 2 pounds a week weight loss back in October and I am only .8 pounds over that goal, in spite of several 2-3 week plateaus where I just stayed at…

Fitbit has added a new "Feature", cardio load, that you can't turn off and it sends you an annoying message when it thinks 'you are in danger of undertraining" and urges you to hit a mythical cardio load. Fibit already has active zone minutes of various degrees. I am 68, I walk 5-7 miles a day, which I think is pretty darn…

I have heard from people that a low carb diet can reverse prediabetes. I am trying the same thing, so I wish you good luck. I am 68, and my BS has gone down some in the last two months, though it is not normal. I am hoping in another two it might be. I am mostly low carb, most days around 50 grams of carbs, some days…

Why can't MFP give us an algorithm where we can put in our steps and our activity points and it can give us the approximation of the exercise calories to add? Since either google (who owns fitbit now) and MFP can't get their act together to update them automatically? Just give us SOME workaround Hello MFP? Are you paying…
