Welcome back!! I am back also! Last I was here I think was 2010...Im back and more serious now....already lost 29lbs and I can breath when i walk!!!

I am diabetic also....I have been doing between 60-90 carbs and I have been losing a couple pounds a week now....I also adjust my meds.....I take prandin....1 before each meal so if my sugars are low I dont take it and its been working out great for me....Im not sure what you are taking but ask your doctor if you can do…

Agave nectar is very good also for sweetening tea and oatmeal....it is natural....comes from the agave plant...it has more of a maply flavor to it...

poot....tell them with any diet...if you dont follow the maintenance plan you will gain the weight back....if its low carb or low cal!! I know plenty of people that lost alot of weight on low cal and they gained it back plus some!! Dont let them bother you.....I figure they just say that because they cant handle a LC diet…

Lioness.....yes I do want to get rid of my meds, Im not on insulin...thank goodness its not that bad....and I dont want it to get worse....thanks for the info...it was very informative....Im going to shoot for 20 a day and see what happens.... Saverys_gal thanks for the warm welcome!!

Hi everyone! I started low carb last week....I have been doing 90 carbs a day but this week Im going to try and go with less....I did Atkins a few years ago and lost 35 lbs on it and was feeling great....I have been doing low cal for a few weeks and the weight just wont budge....I am diabetic and need for my sugars to come…

Welcome shari!!! it is a great site!! I watch the today show when I work from home....I saw the tamara show and it also inspired me!!!

Hi!! and welcome to the site!!! It is a great website....lots of motivation and help!!! I am 56 and have been through all kinds of diets also...the only ones that really do anything are the ones like you said...support and logging food....and exercise!! Which I am trying to build up!!

I eat alot of cottage cheese and yogurt.....could that be why im not losing quickly? I was thinking of the protien in it and didnt think of it being dairy.....one of my main problems is i dont know what to eat!! help please!!

Welcome to MFP!! I am also in the same boat as you are....I need to lose 50 or 60 lbs and need the support!!! I have been on here for 2 weeks now and it is really helping!!! When I see a peice of cake or muffin I think about it first and than avoid it feeling quilting if i list it on here!!! I will add you as my friend :)

How long has it been? I stopped all bad carbs and it took about 5 days to get rid of the cravings.....one of things I did was eat a dill pickle when the cravings came around!!! it really helped!! Good Luck!!

Barbiecat - Sorry to hear about your accident and Im glad you are doing better! That is pretty rotten for him to leave his stuff in the middle of the path!!!
