It is really to hot, ready for some cool weather myself. At least no humidity would make it much more pleasant to walk in! LOL!

Hey all! Doing okay, wish it would cool down here in Florida, still hitting the 90's during the day. I walked and worked up a good sweat today! Yeah! :happy:

Morning all! Welcome Sonia and Gunswife! I am 48 and have been diabetic for 18 years. The best thing you can do is get knowledge and try to change something each month to work towards your goals. It is difficult sometimes, but you can do it. Gunswife, if you have trouble doing your exercise, my mother-in-law gave me some…

Hey as long as you are moving, you are doing good! So hang in there! :happy: Have a good week!

Morning all! Welcome msmrg! You will do okay, I am sorry to hear about your miscarrages! do get plenty of rest. We will try to help, most of us are type 2 here, so we can relate. Well I had my doctors appointment this morning. Blood work was okay, A1C was 6.4, that is up since I went off the one med, but doctor said that…

Hello all! Just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful and healthy weekend. I go to the doctor on Manday morning to see how I have been doing. Hopefully that will go well. I have slowed down on the weight loss, but that is okay as long as my sugar is good, I do not care. I am sad to say my best friend lost her Mom this week…

Congrats on the 6.6 pounds Woo Hoo! :drinker:

Hello all! Well I live near Tampa, so I was disappointed in the game, but glad it made you happy Cali. I really do not have a favorite pro football team, I watch the college guys, they play better, cause they do not make any money! LOL! It rained here all weekend also, I planted beans in my garden, some Saturday in the…

Good Morning all! Just wanted to stop by and wish everyone a Happy holiday! Hope everyone is healthy and happy. I will be spending some time with my daughter at a football game this weekend, then visiting the in-laws. Talk to you soon! :glasses:

Hey all! I am doing great. Just celebrated my 27th wedding anniversary on the 28th of this month. My hubby and I went camping for the weekend with no other family or friends, so it was a nice and quiet weekend. Hope this finds everyone eating right and doing well. :happy:

I know he will lose lots faster than me and will make me mad, but I will get over it! LOL!

Hi all! I am doing good, sticking with the program. I finally convinced my husband to come on MFP and try to loose some, he wants to loose 50 pounds. He has a lot to learn, He does not like to give up flavor and he does not measure anything. So we will see how he does, I will not force the issue, cause I know you have to…

I agree with you 100% ! :bigsmile:

Hello everyone! Just checking in, things are going well for me. Sugar is staying in the right range and my diet is going okay. Dropping weight very slowly, but that should be good. Hope this finds everyone doing well! Talk to you soon! :happy:

Hello everyone! :happy: I am just checking in, not much going on here, staying on the path to good health and that is about it. Marie: It sounds like this diet is doing well for you, Keep up the good work. Take care!

Leo: thank you so much for the information. I will try to get that book and read up on some of this stuff. I have not been to a dietician in about 3 years. So I kinda am not going by that anymore. I do the YoYo thing all the time. Ihave lost about 40 pounds in about a year and a half, so I would like to keep that off, so I…

Leo: I just try to give myself whatever the site allows for fat, that is what I am going by. when I was initially diagnosed, they talked about reducing fat a lot. Then a few years back when I went to a dietician, she told me to watch carbs. I just try to stay under 1300 calories and it seems to be working out o'kay. I was…

Thank you leo for all the knowledge. I think it is important to eat certain fats also, I was just trying ot minimize the amount I take in. I will try some of these to see if they help.

Hey guys! I am still doing well. My sugar this morning was 96, which is great for dropping one med off my list. Leo: I was wondering if you could tell me about the natural fats you are using. I have a problem some days on my food list of going over on fat, not by a lot, but it is over and I think it should not be. Thanks…

Hey All! Just dropping by to wish everyone a happy and healthy day. I am doing well, not dropping much weight either, but sugar is good, so that is most important. Talk to you all soon! :happy:

I am doing well thank you for asking Ellen. Hope you enjoy your trip. I know what you guys mean about our Mom's they are the best, I miss mine very much, She has been gone 16 years and I still think of her everyday. Lioness I hope you have a great Birhtday! :drinker: Just ignore your hubby, They can be a pain sometimes,…

Well, I walk sometimes and I ride my bike ocassionally and I swim some. I live in Florida, so sometimes it gets to hot! But I just change it around some for a different look and feel. Don't let yorself get bored with it, just keep at it. Anything you can do will help. :happy:

Sheila Welcome! I hope we can help you in anyway. You will do well, you have to remember you will and are taking better care of yourself than your mother did, sorry to hear about her. My mother was very stubborn when it came to doing what she was suppose to. She said she was going to eat and be happy after she had her open…

Hello everyone! I have been out of town to a wedding, so eating was not the greatest, all is still good though! Callie great job with the 5 pounds, keep up the good work! :happy: Khool, just keep working on it, you will continue to loose. It is very frutrating when it is so slow! Those plateaus make you crazy, just ignore…

It is a life change. You can do small things at a time to get started. I have diabetes and the nutritionist has been telling me to log and I did for a while on my own and did okay then stopped. I did loose some weight and plataued, then started MFP and it is great and you see what is bad and set your goals so they are…

If it is your low back, lay on the floor and pull your knees one at a time towards your chest, hold for 5 seconds and then do the other leg. This will stretch the muscles in the lower back. do 5 sets of 5, as often as you like, it does feel good even when your back does not hurt. You can also pull both legs in at the same…

I have heard that it is worse for you when you are an adult! Your Poor baby! I feel for him as well! Give him some Mom love and that will help! :wink:

Oh you will have fun! Protion control is the key, so enjoy and try to do some type of exercising. Then when you get home, get back on your usual, you will be okay, do not get on the scales until about a week after you are home and back on track, then you will not freak out. I went on a 5 day weekend to a family reunion,…

Ellen, fix the easiest thing you can and they will be happy, I agree with your husband, Chili and hot dogs make teenagers very happy! Hope you can enjoy them instead of doing all the work. :drinker:

Hey guys good to hear from all of you! Callie hope all your appointments go well today! I will keep my fingers crossed for clean bill from all doctors! Lioness: do not work to hard, that is bad for the brain! :laugh: Ellen: you are doing great, I want to be like you and lioness and get off my metformin as well, I will have…
