  • Fage 2% is my favorite. I'll put almonds in it or eat it with carrots or even protein bars.. I also use it in salad dressings (just flavor) or as sour cream.

  • Put it in the microwave as many have suggested. The oven is fantastic, but sometimes takes a bit too long. Once you've microwaved it, it shreds to look just like spaghetti. I toss with a bit of butter and lemon infused sea salt and use as a side dish. You can also mix it with fresh crushed tomatos and some turkey sausage.…

  • When I started my life style change, I was shocked at how little I was eating. I discovered, as many shared, that it's eating the right carbs and eating all meals. I was a huge breakfast skipper. Once I started eating breakfast, my body realized that I wasn't starving and therefore was no longer storing fat. I also…

Chocolate is a different monster all together. I…

  • Hi. I'm Hillery. I've been a big girl all my life and now that I'm just about 40, I realize I'm going to have to work super hard to get off the weight and change my life style. Before I found myfitnesspal, I lost 50 pounds over 6 months due to my thyroid being removed and the dreaded d word (diabetes). I'm looking forward…

  • Take the classes. They were huge for me. I'd already mastered food portion sizes and was losing weight before the classes, but once I took the classes, I actually knew why my blood sugar levels had gone way down. With that said, I'm still not a good tester. Every time I've tested since my first diagnosis, I've been low. My…

  • Hi. I'm Hillery. I was diagnosed as Type 2 in August of 2011 when I was having my thyroid removed. It is odd that I found the d word (diabetes) more frightening than the c word (cancer). I was put on metforman for a short time, but changed my life style quickly. I lost about 50 pounds over six weeks. I'm now at a plateau.…
