I found my new home at FATSecret. I love it. There is even a MFP refugee, which made me laugh. Hope to see some of you there.

Cronometer is food logging only MyNetDiary has old community posts from April 2023 showing the last entry, so I guess it's not used by too many. Lose it, a bit different, but I will get used to it. Still searching...because I need interaction with 'friends' not just a forum.

I have lost 15 pounds and my glucose was 90 tonight. It's often under 100 now, so I am no longer prediabetic or diabetic. I wanted to share this with my friends, but my newsfeed is gone. I am on my own now. The community board is not the same. So I am saying goodbye. Thank you to all who have helped me the last two months.…

Wow, I just signed on by "lose it" and the MFP Exedus Group and other groups with former MFP members already have lots of members. Look MFP you think you might not need us, you might think about it again! All the best to all! I need the newsfeed for motivation and support. It's a selfish decision, pals fit into "MY"…

Thanks, so the take the "M" out of MFP. In this case I won't be staying.

So the newsfeed still exists, but there are no more automatic updates. Do I see that correctly? I suppose that means we update it ourselves. Like sharing with our friends when we lost and being honest about it if/when we gained. I could post my daily short version of the food I eat. So altogether it's up to me if I keep it…

Maybe they expect us all to use the new wonderdrugs for weight loss in the future and they will adjust the site accordingly to not use their investment?

I am saddened. The newsfeed was what attracted me to MFP. I am rather new, have 'only' lost 15 lbs. I am fighting my diabetes diagnosis (type 2) and so far it looks like I am succeeding. My morning glucose is now already in the normal range. The newsfeed was my own little space here. I could fill them with friends to my…

This is fantastic news. Well done, Sir!

I love the idea and it doesn't matter if it's accurate or a suggestion. In general, I like the idea of being lighter, even if I lose less, it's still a win and I will be smiling. I am all game. If I eat every day like today I will weigh.....hold on, now I have to look...(back/edit) I should weigh 320 on 6/17

I did take pictures, and will do so every month now -pretty or not. Can't do form fitting close, they are all elastic waist, tunica meant to hide but they don't :-)

Hello and welcome! No, I am not on the welcome committee but it bothers me to see introductions like yours and no reply to it. I am a newbie myself. One month to be exact and so far so good. I have lost 11 pounds and I have brought my glucose numbers down. I need to lose 100+ pounds and will send you a friend request. I am…

It would be so helpful. I am trying to reverse my diabetes diagnosis and I was wondering about it as well. I hope you guys change that.

Hello and welcome I signed up here 30 days ago, right after I got diagnosed with diabetes. Before I had been prediabetic but of course that wasn't enough of a wake-up call so I continued to eat what I wanted. I am here to reverse the diagnosis. I bought a cheap but reliable blood glucose reader and poked my finger 3 times…

One month here on MFP and I am still feeling good. I am down 11 pounds, not as much as I hoped but more than expected, if that makes sense. My resting glucose today in the morning was for the first time under 100 (98) like a special present for my 1 month's anniversary. When I signed up here it was 220 in the morning. My…

Super~thank you so much.

[/quote] I have done vegan and gluten free. Yes it can be done. And you will most likely lose a lot of weight. I still don't eat red meat or pork... and I'm thinking of going back to vegan. As far as a protein shake... it's fine to drink one if you're concerned about your protein. I have a friend who has done vegan gluten…

I don't know you but I am proud of you. You are focused on your health and so am I. :-) Congratulations on your success. I am not much for small talk here (yet) I have bigger fish to fry (and a lot of it) LOL Stay focused!

I have now used the Legserciser faithfully every day. Sometimes only five minutes, then later on ten minutes, later on again. The machine moves the pedals, my feet are forced to move. How crazy is that? I can feel it in my calves, they are aching as they should. The legserciser is beside my chair and when I use it it has…

I did my research and speak as I please. There are no long-term studies on what these medications will do to people who aren't diabetic. So, good luck to you! There are people out there who need the wonderdrugs, just like some heroin addicts need to be put on methadone so they can stay clean. Our pharmaceutical industry…

Lot's of what you wrote makes so much sense. I am obese and have said "no" to the drugs because my way of living made me heavy. It's not just about portions, it's also about eating right. I have given food too much power, have made it a crutch for everything that went wrong in my life, and have made it a reward when life…

I ate a mountain of chocolate in my lifetime. I enjoy the fruits with yogurt. I am with chocolate like other people are with chips. I cannot control myself, I eat it all and I don't give it a rest before it's all gone -if I start eating it. So not starting might be a good thing. Funny and a bit puzzling. right now I don't…

I cannot believe a stranger took the time to answer in such lengths. You heard me and I read what you wrote. I agree with almost everything you wrote. The legsersiser is a start and I will use it in the evenings when we watch TV as well as during the day when I work at home on my desk. I bought a fitness watch, one of the…

I was just diagnosed with diabetes and am trying to reverse it, because I don't want to be on the new wonderdrug or any other kind of diabetes medication, like insulin, if I can prevent it. So, chocolate is something I need to learn to stay away from until my blood glucose is back in normal range. Eating the small portion…

I wish you well. In my newsfeed you talk about eating the rest of the easter candy now for two or three days, here you suggest I visit a physiotherapist, and then you write about your bad experience. It's a bit confusing. You are very nice and very kind and I assume you are full of wisdom, so it's me. I am not getting you,…

I am having fun doing chair yoga and using my legsersicer. According to my doctor, who I trust, I need to lose some serious weight before I start exercising. Suggested is under 300 lbs, preferably 250 lbs. It makes sense. I am heavy and out of shape. There is nothing else wrong with me, other than normal aging. :-) I…

Borrowed from Doctor Google: A normal A1C level is below 5.7%, a level of 5.7% to 6.4% indicates prediabetes and a level of 6.5% or more indicates diabetes. Within the 5.7% to 6.4% prediabetes range, the higher your A1C, the greater your risk is for developing type 2 diabetes.

Darlene, I don't know where you live and how old you are, but you might want to try some Magnesium Fizz drink (Calm) at night. It puts my brain hamster to sleep, relaxes me and it helps me to sleep through the night. A lot of women my age use it. Of course there is no scientific proof, but then there was neve a study…

Wow, that's amazing. I hope to be as successful as you are. How did you monitor the 25g of sugar/day? Here on MFP? Also, how did you come up with 25g/per day? I just got recently diagnosed with diabetes and try to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible because this diabetes thing has to go. :-) I hope you don't…

I look like your start picture, just a bit older. You gave me lots of hope. Thank you for putting yourself out there, so that obese people like me know it can be done. I am determined to get healthier (Reverse Type 2 diabetes) and lose weight by doing so. I cannot wait to show off at my doctor's office in 90 days and show…
