Hi my name is Tammy. I'm 49 years old, from Massachusetts. I am a type 2 diabetic on meds. Last year I lost almost 50lbs for my wedding. I was feeling good about myself. COVID hit and being home I let myself go bad. I have gained much of that weight I lost back. I also started a new job I am not liking at all. And my mom…

Thank you all for your input. Just found it strange that I was feeling good until I took that medication. I was on 10mg. Maybe I will ask doctor to find me something else. I do need to exercise A LOT more and maybe that will help. My triglycerides were at 295 and I brought those down to 170 just with the weight loss. I…

With eating my 1100 calories or less I was dropping weight quickly. I told her I stopped losing and SHE said NOT me that I have to eat more calories in order to lose weight. OK your the expert I guess I will go with it. I am NOT dismissing her recommendations because of her weight, but I don't feel she is giving me the…

So I am a type 2 diabetic who on my own has lost 33lbs just by cutting out "white" carbs ie..pasta, bread, potatoes rice. My endocrinologist wanted me to see the diabetic nutritionist she may even be more then that because she has a lot of letter after her name. Anyway, I go yesterday and was kind of stunned to see she was…

She is not new, been a nutritionist for a long time.

"And that brings me to the other issue -- deficit/calories. I did not look at your food entries, but based on the 33 lb loss in a month I will assume you cal count is reasonably accurate. Your cals are SUPER low, like around 800 on average for the days I saw." Oh no the weight loss took me almost 11 months, started in…

I am seeing a dietitian on 09/24/2019 after waiting 2 months for the appointment. I hope she can shed some light on the subject. Thank you for the response.

That A1C is really good. Mine is at 7, given metformin to take and it makes me so sick. Please try not to take unnecessary medication.

I sent a request. I am 5'3 and 265lbs. Need support, motivation and tips from others dealing with the same. Need to give that same stuff to others also.

I love mine. I don't use oil at all. I make zucchini chips in it, they are so good. I have also put in chicken and pork chops. They come out so good.

<3 thank you all so much, I appreciate it. I do need to change. Thank you all so much I appreciate it more than you know.

Hot Chocolate-You sexy thing.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I really appreciate it alot.

jokingly sure.

OMG thank you all so much just for reading and understanding what I am dealing with. I know there are others that are so far worse off then I am, but right now, this is my far much worse. One day at a time, one day at a time.

Thank you so much. My mom was just diagnosed with cancer and it is killing me. She is my everything. I know I have to be here for her as much as my kids. I need to get the mind set that I can't control everything.

Thank you all. I think I will set it back to sedentary and work it from there. Thank you.

I definitely make sure I am tracking it right, counting out exact amounts according to packaging. I also have a scale so I do weigh my foods too.

I wasn't losing anything while at my sit down job, I was actually gaining, but I also had more access to food, junk in the employee café. Now that I am walking around more and not having the access to any extra food I have actually lost 2lbs since last week.

Great thank you all. I kinda figured that too. I will see how it goes. I was looking to get a fitbit, but I don't have a phone to attach to it and I think it needs one but I am no tech person so I could be speaking out my nose for all I know, LOL. Again Thank you.

Harley Davidson shirt my boyfriend bought me. Its too snug to wear. I am dying to wear it.

Thank you very much.

Love Them. I only have 6. Wanting more.

Thanks all.

They are in school, but no time after I drop them off at school, have to get to work. I like going to the gym because if I work out at home, I have too many distractions. I will think of something to get me moving.

I may have to get some and try them out. Thank you for your input.

Any suggestion's on quick, healthy, make at work, eat at my desk breakfast idea's? I think my bagels everyday are not a good choice.
