Yay! Good job!

I've lost an automobile tire, 10 large dozen eggs, a Chihuahua and a Guinea Pig!

85 today.

Well I guess a few more details about me. I am 6'3" and right around 300 pounds (for now). I will probably mostly use this on regular trails vs. MTB trails. But I would like the option of doing some MTB trails from time to time. I plan to try riding in the snow assuming we get some this year. Adding a current picture of my…

I'm starting to look around. There are so many options to choose from. Leaning towards spending more up front so I can just ride and do little upgrading. If I had say $1000 to spend anyone want to throw out ideas? I see a Surly Pugsly Snow BIKE (XL) FAT for $1000 in my neighborhood via CL. A 2013 Salsa Mukluk 2 for $1100…

86 today.

I figure I can't lose for $3 so I bought it. Will give it a read later tonight!

Hi! I am a type 2 diabetic and counting carbs has helped me lower my fasting blood sugar readings from over 200 to under 100. I keep my carbs under 100g per day and avoid as much processed sugar and wheat as possible. Most of my carbs come from fruits and vegetables. You can set your macros in MFP to help keep you at a…

98 today. I've been trending up the past few days. Too many temptations that I've given in to. At least I'm still under 100 but I need to be more mindful of whether or not I should eat the cake (or at lease have a smaller piece)! I hope you get better quick @winnie141!

I ride a Cannondale Trail 7 29er. It was not ultra expensive (about $500) but felt way expensive to my budget. I love the 29er (I'm almost 6'4") as it fits my taller frame well. I've ridden over 1000 miles on it so far. I try to ride several times a week. I mostly do paved or hard packed trails. I have done Mountain Bike…

This sounds great!! I will have to try it out. Thanks for sharing!

Mine is 15% carb, 25% protein and 60% fat.

90 today. And also a happy belated birthday to Ken!

I stay under 100g carbs and seem to be dropping 1-2 pounds a week on average and my blood sugar readings are below 100. I haven't tried Keto yet. If I hit a brick wall at some point I can see trying Keto, but for now staying under 100g carbs seems to be working. I do make sure that all of my carbs are from Fruit,…

You are soooo consistent! Nice numbers!

Thanks! I wish the doctor would let me drop the Glyburide all the way now, but he wants to wait till we do blood work. In 4 more weeks we will do the draw and see what happened to my A1c. I feel real positive that good changes will be evident!

78 today

Congrats! What a great feeling!

Nice number Ken! 74 for me today.

I used to do the KFC coleslaw too, but it has 19 carbs per serving. I switched to their green beans.

At Hardee's just say you want your burger low carb style and they will lettuce wrap it. And add mayo and bacon and that will fill ya up! Hardee's also does a low carb breakfast bowl.

I need to check out REI. I keep hearing about them. Thanks for all the suggestions so far!

Jimmy Johns Unwich Sandwiches are a Low Carb option. Most fast food (Hardee's, McD's for sure) will lettuce wrap burgers these days. Almost all FF places offer side salads as an alternative to fries now. Or just buy any given sandwich and uncarb it yourself (remove bun). Watch out for breaded items (chicken/fish). It takes…

Homemade Butter Chicken, Cauliflower Rice, Falafel, Black Grapes and Swiss Cheese cubes (not pictured as I ate them already)!

So much awesomeness in this thread! First off - I get what you are saying about the failure to binge properly. I seem to no longer be able to eat the quantities I used to. Kinda of a cool problem to have! But I also love the comments by @tincanonastring!

96 today

^^^^^^^ What she said! But seriously - there are lots of sub-groups that are more active. If you have a specific interest or health issue you can find a group and will probably find more conversations and active participation. Welcome to MFP!

Wow!! Nicely done and you are looking great! Keep up the great progress and thanks for sharing and motivating us!

@winnie141 - Isn't all 80's music good music? 88 today for me!
