I was just diagnosed and started Metformin last night. My fasting was 270 this morning *ugh*

Hello, my name it Tenessa and I just recieved my diagnosis yesterday! I'm very confused at this point and plan on trying to set up an appoinment with a nutritionist. I look forward to the support and help I will get here!

bump

bump for later!

one of my weaknesses!

that seems really low to me. Does your hrm have a chest strap? i usually burn 600-700 calories but I weight 227lbs and am 5'8.

from my all time favorite site! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/05/lemon-cheesecake-yogurt-cups.html these are really good. I dusted mine with a little powdered sugar and they were great. if you search her site there are all sorts of cheesecake recipes

are you talking about muscle pain? I'm never ever sore after zumba, my instructor makes sure we warm up good and we cool down and stretch properly.

there have been many many many of these including whole batches of chocolate chip cookies, pre baked and baked. the most recent was a whole log of pinwheel candy that i made. aka powdered sugar and peanut butter....i was ill...

omg, i've done peanut butter and syrup. Never thought to add butter.... that will be sitting in the back of my mind now lol and who needs the bread??? rofl

mmmmm gonna have to try this!

just made this and it is awesome! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/03/lighter-eggplant-parmesan-5-pts.html

zumba! Especially if you get a good instructor! I have two that I rotate through their classes! I have a HRM and usually burn 700-800 calories per class!

love pickled eggs!

I hate ground poultry! I just opt for the 96% ground beef. The brand in my stores is Laura's Lean. Has about the same stats as ground turkey

thanks for the start guys! I love the body weight workout posted! I will get started with it. I am saving for a new car right now and weights are pretty low on the priority list...lol

here's whats for dinner at my house, this is my first time using this recipe but it smells divine!!! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/11/crock-pot-chicken-taco-chili-4-pts.html

salt and vinegar chips OMG, Also Dorritos, and Oreos, ....I think there's a pattern here, what makes them so dang addictive?

I got mine in the mail last week! I love it! I've tried the hungry Chick Griddle(something like that lol) the Chicken Coq Au Vin and the major mocha oatmeal! Yummo!

I wonder the same thing. I never have a problem with zumba, but if I try to run I gasp for air!

zumba! I go twice a week and i've lost 48 lbs in 6 mths!

I plan dinners all week, then i just suck it up and do it :)

I have the 1-2-3 cook book and love it, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get her new one too. She has a show on The cooking Channel now, It comes on Saturday's at 4pm est. I've got my dvr set to record it every week lol. i've tried a ton of her recipes and really haven't found any horrible ones. some that i probably won't fix…

I went shopping saturday and loved it!! I went down another size in pants and shirts. Some brands were still too tight but others fit perfectly! If something doesn't fit try a different brand!

I use hip2save.com afullcup.com weusecoupons.com hotcouponworld.com coupondivas.com southernsavers.com and a few more that I found. I'm a coupon junkie!

I love the peanut butter and co. dark chocolate dreams as a snack. It's a little lower in calories and fat and I usually only eat 1 tbs instead of 2. I eat it with apples, bananas, and occasionally with pretzels! yummo!

i've used this recipe before and it's great! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/11/chicken-divan-lightened-up.html

I'm going to be starting my tomato seeds this weekend! I can't wait for a big ole juicy tomato from the garden! I'll also be doing beans and peas, maybe some broccoli and lettuce. Strawberries are still in place and I'll be adding to my herb bed this year!

I bought one at walmart that has a chest strap. I love it so far! The best part was it was only $48

Thanks guys, I think I'm definitely going to try out the cosutme!
