The hardest thing for me being a type 2 diabetic was learning portion control. There are so many things we can help each other with feel free to add me. Mine is under control but it took me awhile.

Happy Anniversary...You look fantastic!!!

I inherited my Aunt and Uncles old home. I have had friends over and its not unusual to see the shadow of an old man and a tiny little woman holding hands as they head for the bedroom they once shared together years ago. I have witnesses. Am I afraid? Nah...the dead can't hurt you....its the live ones you gotta watch.

Bottom line...its each persons own business whether or not they choose to open up. Regardless I am always supportive. Mine is not open. I have been hacked several times and its been a nightmare. Call me cautious.

FAT HATRED has always been with us but its much more prevalent now that so many people are becoming obese. Employers have always found ways around not hiring us. Life can be cruel...people can be cruel. It sometimes disturbs me that fat people are all labeled to be lazy, nasty, disgusting...no ambition....guess folks think…

You look fantastic!!!

Motherhood is a wonderful thing and breast feeding is quite normal...however I do not think its necessary to put it on the cover of a magazine. It should be a personal thing between Mother and child. Having a 3 yr old nursing will sell lots of magazines because its not in the norm.

WELCOME!!! I have been a type 2 diabetic for 8 yrs and I too have had lots of ups and downs. What has helped me the most is portion control. I eat 6 small meals a day and maybe a couple snacks. My doctor had me get some small foam bowls and only eat what you can get in the bowl and not to over fill the bowl. It took me…

Amen! You know all this genetically modified food that we've been eating for years can not be good for you either. Children born after 1990 have had a steady diet of these enriched foods. All this obesity may not be our fault alone...just sayin!!

It is much wiser to never swim alone, however it is a persons choice. Some of us like living on the edge. I spent some time diving when I was younger and If most people knew what was swimming underneath them they would totally freak out. I have been up close and personal with a shark and I was lucky .....it was a 10…

People that bend over in front of you and you can see the crack of their butt....DON'T THEY KNOW CRACK KILLS!!!

Congratulations you are doing great !!! I have had weight issues most of my life, on and off. This may sound strange but I have never really let my weight be a huge issue. When I walk in a room I hold my head up high, smile and say "HELLO". I am not ashamed for being human and making human mistakes. I like me and I know…

Great job!! Thanks for sharing.

I think we all feel that way at times. Its kind of like a job keeping up with stuff and yes its boring sometimes. Once I became a diabetic I really had no choice at all. MFP calculates your food intake. It may help to pick a fav food and treat yourself once a week. Its easy to obsess ovr food when you have to write…

Welcome to MFP. This is a great place to be and people are not judgemental on here. You can add me as a friend if you would like.

When I was young I was in a very similar circumstance. I did not do anything about it ...as a result...I left my job and he grabbed me in the parking lot , drove me miles away jerked me out of his car and beat me and raped me. I SURVIVED!!! Never underestimate the unbalanced mind. After that for a long time I was afraid to…

Comgrats!! So happy for you!!

When you're hot...your HOT...bald or not!!!

Hi...I am Bev and I love to laugh. I am one of these people that...if there is a weirdo in a 9 mi radius...I am going to get em. I managed this motel for quite a few yrs. and I assure you there was never a dull moment. I was busy one morning helping the clerk chec people out. This older couple barreled through the front…

My Doctor tried to talk me into bypass surgery and was really miffed at me when I said no. I weighed 387 pounds and decided it was just to dangerous for me. I weigh 265 pounds now and and I am losing it slowly. It can be done. Bypass surgery is a personal decision and it is great for some. Good luck and hope you do well.…

I know several people that have had gastric bypass and all but 1 have gained a lot back. They have all told me however it was worth it.. The biggest complaint they all had is loose saggy skin. My doctor wanted me to have it several years back. I thoroughly researched it and I decided it was too dangerous for me. Lap band…

Gary, may God bless you on the rest of your journey.Congratulations!!! Such an amazing job!

Ink is a good artistic impression of who you are. Be proud of your tats!

If you got "IT" flaunt it! If you don't got "IT"cover it up! However, NONE is the best one...just watch out...You don't want to get in a wreck.

I always log in. Its a necessity for me because I am a diabetic and I have to keep track of sugars,sodium,fats and carbs.

Totally awesome, congrats!!!

I wish to congratulate you on your weight loss. I am sorry however that you are depressed. Sometimes hormones can get out of whack when you lose so fast. Hopefully you will consider having yourself tested and go from there. There is always a reason for depression. Sometimes you have to solve problem A before you can solve…

Perhaps there are some that are not being honest with themselves, but you have to remember no two people are alike. When I stopped eating a lot of fast food my whole system has changed. I found that when you eat fast food...30 minutes later you are still hungry. With more wholesome food it does not take as much. Thats me…

I used to have a real problem with it. My doctor put me on Januvia along with my metformin and I started losing weight. Januvia does not have a weight gain side effect. It is not for everyone. It was that or go on insulin, so I tried it. Luckily it has helped me. It is expensive, but I was happy not to have to go on…

Very Painful, had my gallbladder removed yrs ago. Best to avoid banannas, corn bread, cabbage, gas producing foods. Try to eat very little fat or should I say grease. EAT AS BLAND AS POSSIBLE. I wish you well. I was so releived to get mine removed. Bev
