Welcome! I'm a type 1 diabetic and used to work as a diabetes educator before I quit to stay home with my baby full-time. Receiving that diagnosis is scary and overwhelming. I hope you are finding lots of support here. Just stick with it…good luck! :)

Hey Morgan! Wow, that's awesome! :smile: I agree, everyone is different and we just have to figure out what works best for us!

I'm also a Katie from Arkansas :happy: I am so glad to find people with similar goals. I was doing great on about 1,200 calories last fall but kept hearing "you need to eat more!" Unfortunately, I listened and have gained back about half of what I lost on 1,200 calories. I tried the whole eat more to weigh less and eating…

Is it too late to jump on board? SW: 169 CW: 160 GW: 140

Hey I am doing a 10k in March and started about the same place as you. I have been doing a program called 10K Runner. It is an app I have on my phone and I love it! It is 14 weeks. I started it back in October so I would have time to repeat some of the tougher weeks if needed. It helps so much having a program to follow…

Hey Lexy! I'm aiming for about 1,300 net calories too! I am always looking for new dinner ideas to keep it interesting. My favorite source is http://www.skinnytaste.com She has tons of awesome recipes and gives you all the nutritional info. Even my husband who doesn't like "diet" food loves everything I have made off of…

Hey I would love to join y'all! June 11th is my 1 year anniversary! :) The week before our anniversary we are going back to the beach where we got married so I would definitely love to be slimmer and healthier by then. I did really well with MFP ,until the holidays, but I am back! SW: 169 CW: 157 GW: 140

Congrats- you look great! Thank you for sharing!

I usually make a lasagna-like dish with spaghetti squash. I take the squash, cut it in half and roast it in the oven (at 360F for ~30-40 min) with olive oil and garlic until its golden and tender. Then use a fork to remove from the shell and place it in a 9x13 top with cheese mixture then sauce then additional cheese. Bake…

Request sent! :smile:

I love Kroger brand Carbmaster yogurt- right now my favorite flavor is the carrot cake mixed with a dash of cinnamon...mmmm I also snack on cheese sticks, fruit, 100 calorie almonds packs (especially the cocoa ones) and if I want a savory snack I mix cottage cheese with a bit of low-fat sour cream and dry ranch mix for a…

I love cottage cheese...I hadn't thought of mixing it with some apple or pumpkin butter- yum! Sometimes when I want a savory snack I'll mix a few tablespoons of cottage cheese with just a bit of low-fat sour cream and some dry ranch dressing mix for a high protein dip for raw veggies.

I love nuts and nut butters! They are a good source of healthy fat and protein and also low-carb which really helps keep my blood sugar stable but...a little goes a long way! :) Since they are so calorically dense I really have to watch myself to keep my portions in check. I found some 100 calorie packs at Wal-Mart which I…

There are so many options with diet soda cake/cupcake recipes. I usually make mine into a 9x13 cake but love the idea of using mini muffin tins. I love devil's food and coke zero/diet coke but you could make...lemon cake and sprite....orange cake and orange soda...pineapple cake and sprite...carrot cake and cream soda it…

I'll add you! More friends = more accountability! :smile:

Wow that's great! Thanks for sharing! I'm currently on day 17 of 30 DS so this definitely motivates me to stick with it. I measured before starting and plan to measure at the end too but can already tell a difference in my hips. You're right it's all about those small changes that overtime lead to big changes! :smile:

:smile: That's my goal weight too! We can do this!

:happy: Congrats! You look amazing! I so needed this inspiration today!

feel free to add me- more pals = more accountability! :smile:

That's awesome! I just finished level 1 today so thanks for motivating me to stick with it! :smile:

Lol thanks! Sorry, I haven't had a chance to browse through the groups yet but I will definitely check this one out! :smile:

Welcome to MFP! I think we need to start a type 1 group because it is so encouraging to visit with other type 1's as I don't know many in "real life" lol. I tried Symlin a couple of times but I had a really hard time getting just the right bolus calculation. I would end up with severe lows and highs (like 30 to 300) but I…

Congrats on your weight loss! Thank you for sharing-seeing these amazing success stories motivates me to stick with it!

Hey! I'm a type 1, too feel free to add me! :smile: It is hard enough trying to lose weight, but add insulin and blood sugar swings and it sometimes feels impossible! Hopefully we can encourage each other- I always need accountability!

Hey! I'm 27 trying to lose 15-20 lbs...hopefully by Christmas. Anyone is welcome to add me! :smile:

Sounds great to me! Always looking for more accountability! :smile:

Hey I'm in the same boat as you. I joined MFP a year ago but really was not diligent at all...now I'm back and finally have the motivation to do this right! Please feel free to add me, I need all the accountability I can get! :smile:

:smile: Request sent

Hey! I'm on day 4 level 1. I have started it before but have never completed the full 30 days but this time I am motivated to get through it! Anyone feel free to add me...I need some buddies to keep me accountable! :smile:

Hey! I am in the same boat as you- tried MFP and 30DS before, but now I am much more motivated to use MFP diligently and see some results! I was thinking this morning about starting 30DS again so count me in!
