Check out the diabetes food hub, part of the American Diabetes Assn website. diabetesfoodhub.com Just starting my journey...pre diabetic.

To bratty worm : Are these fasting blood sugars?

Oh gosh, I am so sorry you're in pain. I had a j tube through my nose a couple of years ago when I had a dangerously serious abdominal problem. I was so disturbed by the tube, and the side effects of tube feeding and being NPO...I mostly slept away all my time in the hospital and I was there for two weeks! Getting it out…

Just checking in and saw your post. I had knee surgery replacement about 2 years ago and though it was difficult, I can walk again. I am still about 20 lbs overweight though. Having a hard time losing, cause I love food so much. The wrong kinds of food! HAHA Now that my one knee is ok, it's time to start thinking about my…

To singing flute lady...how did things go with the j tube? I sure do hope you are feeling better.

This probably isn't what you had in mind, but I get a very satisfying crunch from carrot and celery sticks and apple slices.

Increasing daily water and decreasing sugars, including artificial sugars such as diet sodas , really helps me.

I make a super easy sloppy joe mix with organic ingredients and use a small whole wheat bun. Just 1 lb of organic hamburger sloppy joe makes a week's worth of delicious sandwiches. I bring the bun and mix separately and heat up the mix in the lunchroom microwave. The neat thing is that the mix gets better tasting each day!…

Stayed the same weight for the last weeks. Lost a pound in all, and that's okay. I have a aways to go. This exercise has taught me that eating the right foods helps me maintain health and energy. I am looking forward to attaining my overall goal of a proper BMI. Good luck to everyone!

Hi there. I also am new to this group. There are lots of great discussions on this groups home page. I have been a semi-clean/organic eater for many years. But sometimes I get off track and indulge in foods that I know are not good for me. Recently I joined a short cleanse and got back to eating more organic foods. As far…

Sticking with the program. Staying at the same weight, but that's okay. I know I am eating less ,and healthier foods.

Try healthline.com. Intermittent Fasting 101 A Beginners Guide... I do fasting from time to time, but not very often.

I gained some ounces this week, but after losing several pounds since the beginning of August, I am okay that my weight loss is somewhat stabilizing. What I don't want, is to lose weight only to gain a big chunk of it back. I hope to eventually arrive at my goal weight, but I understand it may take a while. This group is…

For a healthy gut and good part of a detox, I love local organic raw honey, in Bragg's organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar and filtered water. I drink it warm or room temperature in the morning through a glass or metal reusable straw, to reduce the effects of acetic acid on my teeth. Rinse your mouth out after drinking,…

Ah yes...Roundup! Toxic to all, including animals. I have had two dogs develop cancer in the last ten years. I believe it's due to widespread herbicide use in my area. I try very hard to keep my dog off toxic lawns, but it's almost impossible.

My daughter uses arrowroot to make gravy and her gravy is amazing!

You are so right! We CAN do this!

Up and down with the weight....fortunately only by ounces for the most part. The group motivates me to keep striving toward my goal weight. Being healthy is worth more than empty calories.

I congratulate you on your desire to be healthy. I am a nurse and I see so many folks with type 2 diabetes, and the medical and psychological issues it causes. I am trying hard not to be a statistic. If you ever have any suggestions or words of encouragement, feel free to offer them.

I added your weight for the 24th Carmen.

It's not unusual for folks on prednisone to have weight issues. Up your exercise if you can and continue to eat healthy.

This Friday will be my first day logging in, since I joined late. I am really impressed by the first weeks numbers. Helps me be motivated to keep eating well and exercising more. Already lost inches and pounds.

Great job group! Keep it up.

Done Carmen! Have a great week!

I had my gallbladder out a couple of years ago and have yet to have my body adjust. I have pretty much given up on traveling, eating out...and my family is fed up with me. My friends are a little bit more understanding, but I don't think I quite realized what a food-centered culture we live in. Everything seems to revolve…

I am trying very hard to exercise about 100 minutes a day walking my dog and riding my bike. I also have a stationary bike to use indoors. My job is demanding and I use up quite a few steps during my 8 hrs there. This way I can eat a little more and not feel so restricted to 1200 calories, which is my recommended daily…

I'm Nancy from Wisconsin. I am a senior and still working. Fortunately walking my dog has helped keep me moving, but I love eating so much...too much. It was suggested gently at my recent doctor appointment that I lose a few pounds, and I have always found MFP to be the very best place for the support I need. My starting…

Morning all...Just found this group and am motivated to eat better and lose weight. My weight for 8/18/2018 is 147.4 Lbs. Due to health reasons and the fact I am a little over 5 feet tall I need to lose about 15 lbs at the least, to be at a decent BMI. Best of luck everyone.

Hi Ruth...I walk my dog every day rain, snow, sun 3-4 times a day. I generally get in about an hr of exercise this way. My pup absolutely refuses to go in my yard and he wants a substantial walk before he feels right about the whole potty thing. Recently I got a dog carrier for my bike and now we are also biking around the…
