Thank you - I found it.

I got news for ya - premium accounts have been blown up too. Sux.

Thanks, I reset my meal names and they won't stay.

This discussion really struck a chord with me. I'm a management analyst (numbers nerd) who's first meeting with my dietician included a spreadsheet of what, when and how many carbs I ate for a couple weeks of meals and how my BG #s looked after each. She laughed, but I managed to stay off meds for years.

Exercise would be so much more rewarding if the calories screamed while you burn them.

Refusing to go to the gym doesn't count as resistance training.

Stop rewarding yourself with food. You're not a dog.

I have removed all the bad food from the house. It was delicious.

If your food can go bad, it's good for you. If your food can't go bad, it's bad for you.

Ok, it's weigh in Tuesday. Gained 1 pound, but not sure it was the meds. I usually bounce around 1 to 2 pounds.

I've been on a CPAP for ... I can't recall how long - over 20 years. What issues are you having? Mask comfort? Machine too loud? Can't find a comfortable sleep position?

Hi, Terri here. Glad to see this group. As someone else has said, if you don't live it you don't understand it. Diagnosed with arthritis 30 years ago (I'm 65). Managed to find thru elimination diet that nightshades severely aggrivated my arthritis in my back and hip and large doses of naproxen helped reduce the…

I was on Sparkpeople on and off since 2013. It really helps me manage my blood sugar. I wasn't thrilled with their strategy to shut down without having the new site ready to go. Bad news for them, I think I like this app better. OoPs

My HMO offered classes and a meeting with a dietician first thing when I was diagnosed. My dietician recommended a book "The Joselin Guide to Diabetes." I think you can find it on Amazon.
