Again, when it comes to a diabetic, to your pancreas sugar is sugar, where its natural or not. I have educated myself. I have also had several Doctors tell me this over and over. And yes, I did weigh that much but it was not because I was eating cakes and soda as you think.

I have tried Chobani and yea, its the same

I had gest diabetes, it went away after I had my baby but a few years later I developed type 2, I know how you feel and its sad. Also watch things that say low fat or fat free because they have added extra sugar and carbs to make it taste good. Funny you posted this because I just posted a rant about yogurt,

How do you think I have learned what I have? as I said sugar is sugar.

I didnt say that I got diabetes from eating sugar, but after you get it, its a whole different ball game

bump - would like to know since i have those too! and I LOVE coffee

I get the Body Fortress - Super Advanced Whey Isolate, I buy it at walmart. has only 2 carbs a serving. I get the vanilla, its easy to add/change the flavor if you want. Or if you want something already made, I get the 4 pack of atkins shakes. they come in so many flavors now. they are very good!

I am diabetic and I agree 200% what Ashley0616 has said. You have to stay away from white potatos or any veggie that smushs like a potoato such as peas. and that also means french frys :) Beans are high in fiber but the lowest GI would be your black bean. Basicly, stay away from everything white. Write down what you eat…

Oh My Goodness! you are so right! dont matter how freakin old we are spinkles will always make me smile! Thank you for making me smile today!

I used to be a member of the YMCA until a guy here at work started to train me, he is a member at Golds, so I went there one evening. I was so impressed that I joined then and dropped the YMCA like a bad habit. Even the moral is better at golds. I tell ya, I LOVE movies and when I walked into the Cardio Cenima I was blown…

I could not agree more, thank you

I agree

you dont have children huh? No children are not born obese but have you ever thought about the kids who have a hormonal problem and still gain the weight. I dont eat mcdonalds and I am way overweight! My youngest child eats healthy and will not eat fries or mcdonalds, she is about 25 lbs overweight, so does that mean she…

((((hugs))))

1. there is no need to spend a bunch of money like that. for any personal trainer/fitness questions go to www.bodybuilder.com they even have videos to show you how to do certain exercises. 2. You and only you are on this weightloss journey, you have to take this journey alone to figure out who they person you are and why…

BUMP!! THANK YOU!!!

I would suggest B12. My DR put me on the B12 liquid drops twice a day, in the morning and around 2pm. She put me on them not only for energy but B12 also is good for your metabolism. I feel fantasic since I started. I didnt feel it right away. but after a few days I could see a big difference. Also she advised you do not…

Kroger brand called Carbmaster.

I am also diabetic, since 2006. I was in denial for a long time and the more I felt bad and blood sugars hitting over 400, thats when I woke up. I had lost 100 lbs, never was diabetic and nothing wrong. but when I gained the weight back in an alarming rate, diabeties came with it. I am here to say you can control this. cut…

greek yogurt is not strained as many times as american yogurt, therefore it is thicker, creamer and way more protien. Its so thick and creamy its almost like a dessert. If you get the plain (like I do, I save tons of calories this way) I always add a little splenda because it can be sour like sour cream. and if I want a…

I think that sounds good and way better for you anyday!

Welcome :drinker: I also eat low carb due to diabetes. You can do it, and before you know it, you will be almost off all of your meds. I was taking so many pills and insulin shots a day. Since I started LC I only have to take 1 pill (metformin) before supper.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I have not been good at logging my calories for dinner. I do great while I am at work but by the time I get home and dealing with homework, dinner, gym, etc I just forget. I stay between 1200-1500 calories a day. I have read books that said to get off a stall to go off your way of…

I would love to give you support. Welcome to MFP. I also have Thyroid issues (Hypothyroidism)

your protien is great but your carbs are entirely too high.

This is an awesome Idea! I had removal a few years ago but the DR said I am going to need a full tummy tuck when I finish losing all my weight. Back then they removed 8 lbs of skin. I wish I had thought about donating that skin. But when I have it done again I will donate for sure.
