My name is Casey, Diagnosed T2 in March of this year (2017) and have been on metformin 2x daily. I have been fairly successful in controlling it with diet and exercise. My highest reading since I started tracking has been 144, usually I'm about 85 two hrs after eating and about 105 fasting. It has been a lifestyle change…

Mine was 11.8, I just had a blood draw last week and I'm waiting on the results...hoping it is much lower!

I started Taekwondo at 420 pounds with a very understanding instructor. Do what you can do, your body will tell you if you are doing too much. At 23 your body will keep up with almost anything you ask it to.

King's stuff was better before he got sober, it's a terrible thing to say but it's the truth.

We make what my wife call "Cheater, chicken noodle soup" she starts with canned chicken stock and some veggies and gets that boiling, while that is happening she shreds up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store (hence the cheater part) when the chicken is shredded she throws that and some bagged egg noodles in a the…

I love the Stone Barrington series by Stuart Woods and pretty much everything ever written by Dean Koontz

My instructor is notorious for saying "how you practice is how you perform"

I make a cabbage soup with Cabbage Mixed veggies Rotel tomatoes Beef broth and Smoked turkey sausage simple and YUMMY! I make and portion it out for my lunches at work.

I'm Casey, I also practice Taekwondo and am a 2nd Dan (2nd degree black belt). I started training TKD at the age of 35 and 420+ pounds as a way to get fit and spend time with my son. Since then I have lost over 100 pounds and gained a ton of self confidence. I just recently was asked to start a TKD school and with the…

I just ordered an under desk exercise bike, $30 on ebay. I'm in the same boat, I hope it works for me.

Where would I find Kefir? never heard of it...

You can do it!, use your experience and training and let the cards fall where they may.

I like the idea. I'd even moderate if you need some help. Second degree Black belt in TKD and TKD instructor. AND a 960+ day MFP streak.

Had some yesterday at a restaurant they were grilled then topped with grated parmesan, crispy bacon and balsamic...SOOOO GOOD!!

I forget what comedian said it but he said that the anti-gluten crowd has gotten so bad in California that you could rob a bank with piece of bread.

I make Cabbage soup and portion it out for the whole week, bring along a fresh veggie and an apple. good to go.

A friend of mine looked into buying a PF franchise. The cheapest buy in was 200K PLUS all the equipment and you have to do their cheap membership rates. not sure how anyone makes money on these things.

You've been knocked out by one of your best friends

I was 420 at my heaviest. I don't drink any calories, that is a huge step. You don't need a gym at this point, just be HONEST with your food log and move. I actually joined a Taekwondo class at 420 and couldn't do most of it but the instructor is great and encouraged me to keep trying. I have since dropped nearly 100…

we LOVE,LOVE,LOVE our air fryer. The most used appliance in our kitchen!!

I'm fortunate that mine is not severe enough to limit me a lot so I mostly do Taekwondo(second degree black belt) and walking. I have lost nearly 100 pounds with just CICO and these two things.

I'm Casey and have Ehler-Danlos (Hyper Mobility type), thankfully it's pretty mild and does not limit me a lot. Mostly the arthritis that comes along with it that slows me down.

Mine was 11.8! I have been taking my metformin, eating right and checking my sugar every day. I hope it goes down significantly at my next check in August.

The common sense diet, Calories in VS Calories out. It really is that simple.

Tried to join...not sure if it worked...

Be Honest and log everything as accurately as possible.

Joined a "Dietbet" challenge, gotta make some $$$

Not Orphaning my kids!

I usually do around 2 gallons a day along with about 30oz of coffee, I get my exercise running to the bathroom! Seriously though good luck 64OZ per day should not be tough to maintain.

I skip Breakfast ***GASP*** quite often
