Rooster sauce and mushrooms.

You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles.

Beware the ROUS's in the Dismal Swamp.

This is my view exactly. It's not a 'cheat' to me if I have it budgeted in my life style and my chosen path for the type of foods I want.

My suggestion is to speak with both your doctor and a good dietician to setup the best plan for you. I work closely with my endocrinologist and dietician to put together my plan. Best luck.

I have the Polar FT7 and love it. Shows heart rate, calories burned and is easy to setup and use. It uses the chest band to send a signal to the watch, which is the best way.

I dice up 1/2 an avocado and mix in the tuna with it. I add in a tiny touch of EVOO and some finely diced granny smith apple.

I drink coffee all day long. I don't add anything to it however. I do mix in water to get my liquids in me as well for balance. I don't include coffee in my water consumption.

Retire from the job I'm doing. Then start my own higher end photography business Setup a trust for my grandaughters Build a very modest house out in the country Pay off my kids student loans Hide from the 'new' relatives coming out of the woodwork :)

30 pounds since mid Feb 2012

First date. We both knew. Second date 5 days later she asked me to marry her. We dated 2 years, married now 35 years and going strong.

I have my whey protein shakes in the morning for breakfast. I add 1/2 a banana and some organic peanut butter to kick it up just a bit. It tends to keep me full all morning.

Build my own computers, enjoy Sci Fi, love Dr. Who and play xbox games more in the winter. Summer is fly fishing and autumn is hunting.

Mrs. Grasses Chicken soup.. I kid you not, that's the only time that stuff appeals to me is when I'm down with a bad bad cold. ETA: I also drink a lot of Emergen-C to replace electrolytes and potassium and such in my system along with a major boost of Vit-C

I add a peppermint stick to my hot chocolate when I have it. As far as coffee goes, it's either straight up or 'irish' for me :)

Mine is typically spread out across the day in 5 meals.

I am Type 2, and have 90 carbs a day, no matter the type, from veggies or grains. I am working with my Endocrinologist and dietician. With my healthy diet and weight loss this year, I was able to discontinue a medication. My strong recommendation is to work with your doctor and a dietician that is well versed in diabetes…

I'm never neglected while I owe money for bills like lights, gas and so on :D

While technically not working, I'm cleaning the basement to prepare to move. I think I'd rather be off working :)

I have a rescue dog. Black Lab mix with something I don't know. She was abandoned and abused. Took her years to not slink against the wall. She's a darling with a personality that is second to none.

I'm too busy to stress over a bit of food right now. We just accepted an offer on the house so it's a mad scramble to pack and get it ready for the new owners. For holidays, I tend to graze at parties and family functions. I go for cheeses, sausage and veggies.

Awesome NSV. Did you point your doctor to MFP?

I have the magic bullet that is a lesser expensive version of that. Love it for making protein shakes and smoothies.

Popcorn Ice Cream Possibly popcorn with ice cream on it.

Not to me. I stay away. I'll be at the gym instead.

I am thankful for: 1. My family and friends 2. My good health 3. A great offer on our house we received just today and accepted. 4. Llamas (put that in to see if anyone really reads things)

I have a protein shake for breakfast most days instead of oatmeal that I used to have. I've reduced carbs per my endo and dietician guidance. Doing this change, plus my weight drop allowed me to drop one med I took for diabetes. I take the protein shake, add almond milk, some cinnamon for flavor and some organic peanut…

A mix of both to keep my cardio interesting. My gym also hase those Gazelle type machines as well, have to try that.
