  • Interesting reading things and having lots of little "AHA!" moments like gee, oh, this could be linked and all of this is making more and more sense (sadly)! I was diagnosed with Gastroparesis (type 1 diabetic) on Monday of this week via EGD. I still have to have the GES done but they're 99% sure as my entire (fasting)…
  • You are doing such a great job- thanks for being such an inspiration and not giving up during this difficult time!
  • I just wanted to check in and say hi- since I have very few fruits and veggies I can eat raw and not getting enough of them in (I mean, how many apples and strawberries can one person eat, because thats it and I worry apples of certain varieties are the causes of some recent reactions)! I should say I CAN eat blueberries,…
  • Just wanted to say hi! I was diagnosed at 27 and I'm 35 now...I was in dka for a year because I was misdiagnosed for a year...the unfortunate side effect was I could eat whatever I wanted and lost weight like crazy (had no idea why) so when it was figured out I kept eating that way and now battling more bulge than ever-…
  • I am not doing it YET...I really need my husband on board- we both need it- but I want us to get healthy together. My sister in law just finished and lost 22.3lbs without exercise, by following strictly. She has a knee injury that kept her out of her 3-4x a week of zumba- I cannot imagine how much more she would've lost…
  • Great work! I can really see it- your face, neck- collarbones/shoulders, even the part just below your shorts- you know the behind the knee thing- fantastic job!! Keep it up!!
  • I just one this in a raffle- and I'm very, very out of shape, I figure I'll try the dvds w/ the modifications needed to not keel over until I build some stamina- thanks to all of you for posting- I'm very encouraged!
  • That is AMAZING! 45 lbs sounds great- and being close to being in ONEderland? Even better! I'm hoping to be in onderland in the next 6 months- but you're like 2 weeks away if that! Congratulations!!
  • You are clearly beautiful inside AND out! The way you encourage others and who you are shines through at any size but now it seems amplified- congratulations!! Thank you for sharing so we can all remember we are worth it!
  • I always wonder if I'll ever leave if I make my goal or will my food addiction draw me back. Well I think it varies for each person. Honestly, you sound like you're ready to go. You did an amazing thing with that psychological piece- and it is something I will actively try to remind myself of so that someday eating that…
  • I have tried and tried to get into the zumba class at my gym...actually for almost a full year...the classroom size is quite small and in order to get into the 7pm class you have to be there to get a pass (they won't give them out more than 30 minutes prior to class) but everyone starts lining up in the vicinity of the…
  • Wow! Congratulations! Keep up the good work :-)
  • Hey there! I just re-joined MFP (had only been on the mobile version previously so trying out the full site) yesterday with a group of coworkers. I work in Lake O so not far from Beaverton! Happy Healthy eating to you!
