If I ate my exercise calories back, I would weigh 400 pounds. They are entertainment only for me. Eating quality foods will reduce the hunger in trying to lose weight. I have been maintaining and know a number of folks in the same boat that do not eat them back and we maintain.

I have had very good luck and this is a rest of my life change for me. I enjoy 5:2 and 16/8.

IF 16 hours daily from 2p-6a and then then the 5:2 as well. Never going back. Did not really start for weight loss. The health benefits seem to be endless and I have never felt better. Husband does it as well.

And I am very active. I do believe exercise is the key to making me the healthy diabetic I am in addition to the above.

I am type 1 diabetic. I have spent 32 years working on what works best for me. I do think it is person to person. I find that when I am not overweight that a very low processed carb diet works well for me needing very little insulin. I eat natural carbs and don't need a great deal of insulin. Examples are things like…

I am in. We walk ours at least 3 miles every day.

Hope you are not coming down with the head cold half the planet has right now. I just got rid of it. Kudos for doing any kind of work out. Tough when you are not feelin it. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Not miserable. Not depressed. I am never hungry. I never starve myself. I eat when I am hungry. Do not eat when I am not. Miserable is being 225lbs on a 5'3 frame and not being able to move. I don't think anyone that knows me would describe my life as miserable or unhappy. But after being fat, you figure out what works and…

I am a T25, P90X and Insanity girl.

I know what works for me. I don't pretend to know what works for anyone else.

All woman are crazy. It would be the level of crazy one can happily live with. Same applies to men....just for the record.

I have never personally accomplished this, but sure love trying. FYI, I use a 15 lbs kettle bell and do 3 reps versus his 5. I also did sit ups and push ups instead of foam roller. It is not a super exciting work out. I like to watch tv while I am doing these. And yep, your butt gets bigger. Just saying:)…

I am not sure of what you define as weird, but I am diabetic and make all sorts of low carb from cauliflower. This is my newest trial. I put some egg beaters with garlic,shrooms,olive and onions on top when cauliflower hash browns were done. Was awesome. Cauliflower Hash {Paleo} Prep time: 8 mins Cook time: 12 mins Total…

I am a Pure Protein shakes girl. 35G of protein and 170 calories each and they taste decent.

I am 43. I am a Type 1 diabetic and I work very hard (in order to live a healthy life), but have struggled all my life. It is a constant battle.I hate the diet word. There is no diet in long term and for life. It is change of lifestyle. I track everything I do. If I forget, I pay. I love zumba, T25,Insanity, long walks…

Are you over doing the work outs wih regards to where you are at physically? I find when I sometimes over do, the sickness starts.

I would like to attempt this. I have been trying to find ways to enjoy walking. I have been doing between 1.5-2miles a day for the last 3 weeks. I often find other work outs more enjoyable, but this is definitely relaxing.

My gym has a class they started on Saturdays. I have no had the opportunity to attend yet. Hopefully, I will this Saturday.

Get a bubby or borrow one. Dogs are always willing to eat the leftovers that are dog friendly foods. I also enjoy giving them the last few bites. A few calories out of my mouth. Course, I have 3 so that is 3x the calories out of my mouth. They are also amazing motivators for exercise:) This is just my funny side. I really…

You know, I threw the scale away. I started a work out with a variety of different things like TRX, crossfit type of things or plain ole caveman workouts. The first month I did it, I gained 7 pounds. However, I went down an entire dress size. Hard to be annoyed when all of your pants are loose. I have lived by that since…

I am diabetic and have been for 3/4 of my life. I eat as little of the "bad" carbs as possible, similar to the above mentioned like rice, bread, pasta etc. I have noticed no increase in blood sugar when choosing fruits and non-processed types of carbs. The less insulin you need seems to have a direct correlation with…

I am not in KC, but am in Topeka. May I help? I end up in the KC area quite a bit though.

Diabetic Type 1 almost 33 years. I have 0 issues associated with my diabetes. Because of attention to diet and exercise, I may well be healthier than some of my "healthy" friends:) The 33 year war is not easy, but the rewards are endless.

I have worked from home for years. Kettle bells, yoga mat, exercise once an hour for a few minutes. Stand at your desk when you can. I put my laptop at my kitchen bar and stand. Find some nice after work classes.

Hi Rebecca. I am Tama. Don't necessarily care about weight, but enjoy seeing inches go away. Diabetic, so diet and exercise has been a part of my life since I was 11. Feel free to add me.

I'll be happy to join. I am crazy bad about posting because I have had to keep food logs since I was 11. Gets old. but I like to be motivated and motivate others.
