You look beautiful!! But most important, you are getting healthy. I am diabetic and take metformin, it is my goal to get off the meds and control it. Your story is such an encouragement to me. Thanks for sharing!

Can't wait to try! Thanks

Looks great! Are both halves one serving or is is half a serving?

Welcome if you need support friends you can add me

Welcome, you've made the first step to getting healthier. You can add me for friend support

Great idea, another way to visualize progress made toward goal. I'll be making a set also. Thanks

What an inspiration you are. I hope to get healthy and fit and mfp is really helping. Welcome.

You can do it. It's gets so exciting when the pounds start coming off.

You are already an inspiration, 100 pounds lost....wow! You have done great and you can continue on the forward path. Good luck. You can add me if you'd like as can anyone.

I smoked 2 packs a day and smoked for 35 years. I loved smoking and sometimes would still love to smoke one Six years ago I had a heart attack And my cardiologist said I was now a non smoker and put me on chantix I have not smoked since. I advise quitting before you have a heart attack however.:smile:

12 hours should be okay for a lot of things in a crock pot also most crock pots have high, medium, and low settings. I would look into some recipes for crockpot meals, maybe on pinterest

I'm surprised you don't like splenda, I really can't taste a difference with it. I couldn't stand the taste of diet pop so my daughter had me start mixing it half and half and I couldn't taste the diet in it, then slowly cut out the regular pop now I can't stand the taste of the regular pop. Maybe you could do that with…

some yummy snack choices

Nice to meet you, you sound committed to the process so you'll get the job done. This is a great site for encouragement to help with those down times

Thanks for the responses, think i'll go buy it then

Great job! You can really be proud of yourself and that's a great feeling.

You've already lost 20 pounds, you're doing great!! Just have a small piece of cake for your birthday it won't hurt you as long as you don't keep eating it, then take a walk. Hang in there and don't give up! We all get in those down modes but you are doing it and can continue to do it!!

You look great! You are an inspiration!

Hi and welcome. You can add me if you'd like.

Hi i'm Ellen. Been on mfp for a couple weeks now and just joined this group, thanks for having me. I started this because my doctor just put me on medication for my diabetes. I am determined to control the disease and not let it control me so i'm set to loose at least 50 pounds in hopes of getting it under control. Anyone…

Hi i'm 56 and just been at this a couple weeks now. I don't exercise though I know I need to. But one step at a time. I need to loose at least 50 pounds and can use all the help I can get.

I'm a newbie too. I've been diabetic for about 9 months and was just put on meds for it. I am seriously motivated to loose weight and get off the diabetic meds. I want to loose at least 50 pounds.
