Hi Polly and Welcome. I am 63 and I would love to be your friend. I have only been here a week and I am loving it!! Best wishes

Hi Debbie, Welcome🌷. I have only been here since May 16 and I am so happy I found this site. I love the food diary and since I am a carb counter I love how it breaks the meals all down for you. I will turn 64 this July. I am married and we have a daughter who is 22. We have. 4 yr old dog, a 3 yr old female cat and just…

Hi ladies I too was a Sp member for about 10 yrs. Good to see you all here. Since leaving SP I developed a under active thyroid and type 2 diabetes. I have a new Dr coaching me on my diet and helping me reverse my diabetes. More importantly he and his nurse love MFP and we’re happy I was choosing to join here. With there…

I personally in the past was prescribed victoza but experienced side effects. He switched me to Trulicity and I am doing much better. My new endocrinologist is supportive of me taking it. As he explained it is not an insulin. It is an enhancer for insulin. I feel it helps curb my appetite and I am not having food cravings…

After one week here my sedentary life style, is no more. Eating right and finding with my Dr less need for high doses of insulin has given me the motivation to do more. I use to sit with my spouse for hours a day as his caregiver. Sometimes even nap when he does several times a day. That is all gone!!! Look forward to…

Does anyone have the Dexcom or Free Style Libre testing system? I understands it ends the need for finger sticks. Simple goes on your arm and you scan it with your phone and a report is sent to your dr. My new endocrinologist is looking into it for me. I have received a call from the medical supply company and it will be…

Brian, your not alone. I have fallen off the wagon in the past more times them I can count. First thing I do is Forgive myself Secondly I look at all the progress I have made Thirdly I think where I might be had I never started in the first place. Then I forgot about the past and the day before and I say Today is a new…

Awesome. Keep up the good work. You Got This!!!☀️

Hello everyone. Before MFP a year ago my highest weight ever was 362. Before starting here in the past year I lost 40 pounds. That’s good but when you have so much more to lose you feel like you haven’t even made a dent in yourself. I am type 2 diabetic and have thyroid disease. Drs in the past told me with both conditions…

Hi everyone. I have only been here a little over a week and delighted at all the comments here. I too have T2D. Was diagnosed in 2004 and put on insulin in 2008. I have been on numerous diets and with the help of my new endocrinologist I am on a 1760 calorie diet. He has me on no more than 60g of carbs per meal or 180 per…

Making lifestyle changes to me is a gradual process. Your body has been use to having whatever it wants. When you start being accountable that is when the transition begins. When following any diet it’s always a good idea to talk with your doctor. I did and he helped me with my number of calories at my present weigh to…

Thank you all for your comments. I deeply appreciate each and everyone of you. If you would like to keep in touch please befriend me.

Don’t give up your doing everything right. Too many times we measure our success by playing the numbers game with the scale. Do me a favor. Get the tape measure and measure neck, arms legs, chest, waist and hips. Make one day a weight in day a week and check your measurements. Reduction in inches equal pounds gone. It…

Thank you all for your kind words and support. Best wishes.

Please don’t laugh but I am almost 64 and disabled. I started this plan 5/16 and everyday I strive to be more active. Today I went shopping for the first time without using a shopping scooter. I walked everywhere in the two stores I was in. Lifted all the groceries in and out of my car and put them all away. After lunch I…

False When dieting, you can never eat Pizza

Yuck Caesar salad

I say, “If it’s gonna be, it’s up to me!” There is little in life we can control but we can control our eating habits, meal planning and being accountable. With that said I am not saying it’s easy but it’s Do-able. I was told one time by an old WW buddy, “ nothing taste as good as being healthy feels”. I was there once and…

Hi Barbie, so pleased to find you here. I just joined May 16 and I am so happy to be here. I am 63 and this is not my first rodeo. Through yrs of dieting I have a wealth of tips and have learned a lot. I am trying again with the help of a new Dr I found to help manage my thyroid and type 2 diabetes. I am here hoping to…
