By the way, if you've changed your lifestyle to "healthy", you've already won.

This is just my opinion. Please do not think that you are getting medical advice here. BUT, if I were going to do this, and IF my weigh in was going to be early in the day, I would eat a normal supper, get a good night's sleep, then get up kinda early. I would do some sort of cardio exercise that would really make me…

BWAHAHA! But, first, and most importantly, CONGRATULATIONS!!. Pumping the iron is a great way to tone those arms. My amusement came from picturing you in the ladies room flapping your arms like a bird and jumping up and down. To the casual observer, this would be quite a sight (especially in the ladies room). Keep up the…

I'm not positive, and I have no data to back up my theory, but I'm pretty sure I just burned about 450 calories just thinking about all this.:laugh: I'm sure I burned something -- I smell smoke. Thanks for the lesson.

Great news! Way to turn things your way. You are my new inspiration! I'm right there with you, man. A1C of 9.9 and fasting glucose of 262 at the doctor's office. He said meds. I said no. So far, down 43 lbs. (lost 10 the first week). Fasting blood sugar down to 109. The doctor visit was 9 weeks ago. I'm due to go back in 5…

Jennifer Anniston or Angelina Jolie -- yes, bikini. Betty White or John Goodman -- no bikini. (Edit: Me -- no bikini)

I have, in the past, lost as much as 21 lbs. in 3 weeks. Then it slows down. I don't know why this happens, but it happened to me. I have a lot of weight to lose as well. I'm sure that if you had 20 pounds to lose, you wouldn't lose 16 in 16 days. It will slow to around 2 pounds per week (assuming you stay at a large…

From a guys perspective, I must say that I love ALL of your boobies! Most guys don't care if they're big or small, though bigger might catch attention from further away. I don't really care for the ones that I have :blushing: , but they're gonna be gone in 80 more pounds or so. Celebrate the TaTa's!

You may get many opinions on this site about the pros and cons of appetite suppressants. I am of the "Nay" side. All the studies that I've read say that any appetite drug will only work for the very short term, then, your body adjusts. When this happens, you will begin to experience the same "hunger pangs" that you had…

Like you mentioned, I crave sweets, too. I'm pretty sure I can hear the transformer on the neon "Hot" sign at Kryspy Kreme and it's 30 miles away from me. In my case, it works best just to stay away from them altogether. Everyone is different. I also talk to them (the sweets, that is) as I'm walking down the grocery isle.…

Like you, I had a health scare. The doctor said the "D" word to me (diabetes). I lost all desire for sugar with that one word. Fear, however, will only go so far. Exposed to the same fear will, over time, that fear willbecome stale. This is true of almost every fear. Excitement, on the other hand, will sustain you…

I think (don't know for a fact) that WW is doing a little like the government. They're holding back on you. If you stay 200 calories under your target everyday for a week, then have a blowout with 1400 calories one day, it will equal the same for the week. Now, having said that, your success for that one day would not look…

Non Scale Victory Edit: Oops, you beat me to it. Dang one-finger typing.

Umm ... can I borrow 20 bucks? j/k Awesome work. What a great incentive to carry on. But, seriously, about that 20 ...

WooHoo! Congratulations. Every success is a huge one. After 30 lbs, three people asked me if I had gotten a hair cut. :tongue: Stay the course. Celebrate every success big or small.

You're absolutely right. Every day I feel truly blessed. I, too, have a couple of friends who are Type 1. My situation was brought on by me - and me alone. I don't blame anyone, and I try not to do the "poor pitiful me" thing. If it sounded that way, I apologize. I cannot begin to imagine what it would be like to have a…

After re-reading my post, I feel like I may have taken over LPS1986's thread. That was not my intention. I just get so excited about all this. MFP has been great, so far. I log like a demon. I find myself trying to find wi-fi immediately after I eat ... anything. I have the worst willpower in the world. And, I'm grateful…

Congrats on your @$$!!! :laugh: Just this week I slipped into the next size down in my jeans. I know you're stoked. Keep up the great work!

Welcome, LPS. I'm new here also. Like you, I was diagnosed with diabetes a few days before Thanksgiving (fasting blood sugar - 262). The doctor prescribed two pills per day and told me I should see a dietician. I was shaking while he talked. I left his office with two prescriptions in hand and went back to work. When I got…

I've never read anything on here (or any other site) that I agree with more. Every person must make their own decision. No amount of screaming, kicking, or pleading will make another have the will to do what you're doing. Hopefully, that internal switch will flip over for them at some point. Encourage, support, pray, but…

I'm new here, too, toni. I don't know very much about Trader Joe's Freeze Dried, Lightly-salted green beans, but I sometimes have issues with baby carrots. I've found that the best way for me is to get a portion out of the bag, then put the bag away. That way, I have to physically go back to the fridge to get more.…
