My guess is that it would include the seed. At least, that's the way I've been measuring.

I'm a fellow diabetic, too! Just diagnosed last October. My doctor told me it wasn't weight-related because I've been at a healthy BMI for years, but I still need to keep my weight in check and MFP has been a huge help. I wish we could access the community from the app, too, but I don't think it's possible. Feel free to…

I only get cravings after my evening workouts (which is 5 nights/week). When I get home from the gym, I'm soooo hungry. I eat a small, healthy meal first and then give myself a treat. If I'm craving sweets, it's usually low fat vanilla ice cream. I just eat 1/2 cup (one serving) very slow and totally enjoy it. Sometimes I…

Monthly. I lose weight so slowly, that it's discouraging to see the scale barely move on a daily or weekly basis. I figure if I'm keeping track of my food (and doing the best I can each day), the scale eventually cooperates!

Don't be scared! Their job is to help you get in shape. Like others have said, it's important that you like your PT and that there is chemistry. I think I tried 3 before I found one that I really clicked with. I see my personal trainer about 2x/month. I do a LOT of working out without him, so twice a month works for me at…

They posted on Facebook that there were problems with their server. It should be working now. Mine is!

You should be excited!!! Congratulations!!!!! :happy:

I'm a sweater and I love it! My eyes sting when the sweat drips off my forehead! I always try to get a half hour in the sauna before my aqua fit class, and that's where I really sweat!

How old are you? (you don't have to be specific if you don't want to...you can just say 50's, 60's 40's--whatever, okay) 56 How much have you lost? 7 lbs. I started out with 24 to lose. I lose slower than most because of my age, I'm closer to my goal, and I'm lifting weights a couple times a week, so I'm building muscle as…

I could eat the whole batch and only consume 180 calories! Sounds great!!

Definitely making these! How many tots per serving??

I can eat anything in moderation 75% of the time. The other 25% of the time, not so much. lol! I don't get my period any more :happy: , but I think I'm still on a hormonal cycle where I crave certain foods and I'm not satisfied until I eat them! The good thing is that the cravings are short lived.

I'm 5'5" with a small frame, current weight is 137. My lowest adult weight (not toned) was 107. I think I felt best around 115-120, but looking to get toned more than anything.

Thanks for your responses, everybody. I had no idea I could enter strength training under cardio! I'll check that out. I have been entering my reps/sets in the strength section. I had read here that a HRM is useless for weight training, so I didn't want to rely on that for calories burned, but I definitely want to fuel my…

Here's a picture of my leg this morning. No cellulite!

My whole body shakes during planks! My trainer has me do them for a minute at a time (3 sets), and by the time I get to the 3rd set I'm ready to die. lol! My lower back usually feels it before anything else, so he has me slightly lift my hips. It's made a huge difference in progressing. But keep at it - they won't seem any…

Yep, me too. I drink a TON of water and probably pee hourly throughout the work day (I'm sure my coworkers wonder what's in my water - lol!), and it tapers off at night when I slow down. But, my skin is loving it!

I've been sprinkling Advocare Peaches & Cream Fiber Drink over my oatmeal. Love it! It keeps me regular without any side effects. I only use about 1/3-1/2 of a packet because it's very flavorful and I figure I'm getting a good amount of fiber by eating it with oatmeal.

Once a month.

Don't give up hope! I had cellulite on the back of my thighs just a year ago, and after lots of gym time and a little weight loss, it's practically gone. I'm at work now, so I can't take pics, but I'll try to post some tonight. And I'm twice your age, so you definitely have youth on your side! :wink: If you didn't have…

I'm 56 and fabulous! Add me! I'm losing weight at a turtle's pace - probably like many of you ladies! I've only lost 7 lbs since the beginning of the year, but I don't have a whole lot to lose, so I expected it to be slow.

I mostly drink water, sometimes flavored when I'm bored. But I also drink coffee, tea, a little milk, and sugar-free Powerade when I work out.

I'm gonna say 350. I make a similar looking flatbread pizza (all veggies and pizza sauce) using Flatouts and it's about 250, but I use very little cheese. Looks good!

No magic formula. I picked a number at the low end of my BMI since I'm small-boned and it takes me forever to gain muscle mass. And my doctor wants me to lose as much weight as I can, within reason, to avoid diabetes complications.

I just boiled a dozen eggs tonight for Mother's Day potato salad! I started with cold water, added the eggs, brought to a rolling boil, took off the heat, covered the pan and let them sit for 45 minutes. Then I put them in cold water. Since they were fresh eggs (just bought them tonight), I had trouble shelling them, so I…

I'm 56 and my BMI is 23. I'm pretty small boned, too, so I'm aiming for closer to 20. I think you'll know when you get there. :)

.25 lbs/week, if I'm lucky! My goal is to lose a total of 20-ish pounds. My doctor is okay with my weight, but as a newly diagnosed diabetic, she feels I can avoid complications if I can get down to as low a weight as possible within reason. So that's what I'm trying to do! I might be good with another 10 lbs, but I figure…

5'5" Current weight is 138. Goal is 120-125. I'm losing at the rate of 1 lb/month, so I should get there in a year. :)

I LOVE TJ's! Mango/apricot Greek yogurt (the best!) Triple Ginger cookies (sooooo addictive!) Brown rice sushi All of the frozen dinners are delicious

I use Truvia in my coffee and love it. I don't notice an after taste at all. Much better than any other artificial sweetener.
