I keep a can of pineapple juice in my desk at work and very handy at home. It seems to react quicker than candy. If my BG has been running low then I might eat something before I work out to keep it safe. Eating more often will also help to keep the BG level at a reasonable level.

Thank you!

My thoughts exactly!

Sending prayers!! Let the past be the past and start fresh now.

Hi Katie! I raised both of my daughters alone. It can be done! Would love to encourage you as you go through your process. Feel free to add me as a friend!

You can add me! I need all the encouragement I can get and would love to be able to encourage you too!!

My dogs are my new running mates. Bonnie is a black border collie/lab mix and I call her my perfect dog. Lulu is our other one, she's a Vizsla. She's awesome too! Wish I knew how to post pictures!!

Chocolate cake Chocolate Pie Chocolate candy bars Chocolate cookies Chocolate ice cream Chocolate chip cookies mashed into a glass of milk Chocolate covered peanuts Chocolate ........... Well you get the picture! OH and of course pepperoni pizza with extra cheese. My only real food sin that doesn't include chocolate

Congraluations! That is absolutely awesome!!!

Thanks guys! I am already feeling better. I started feeling better the day she took me off the victoza. But this exercise thing is becoming a habit! Who would have ever thought I would say that!!!

Hi Sharon - The Dr put me on a basal insulin about 4 months ago. On my visit one month ago, things did not look good at all so he cut out everything except the basal insulin, a little Amaryl, and a fast acting insulin for when I would go high. That was the moment I realized I needed to take this very seriously. Went back…

Sending up prayers!

She should be fired because she is a terrible sales person. I would if I owned the store.

I say you give all of us the website and we ll do on-line complaints......... What a horrible thing to say! She should be fired.

Star Trek TNG - Riker was HOT!. Star Trek - original series Star Wars - 3 original movies The rest were sleepers for me..........

Love this verse! Just sit back, close your eyes and imagine the scene. Amazing!

I hope he leads me in everything I do! Recently, I have seen him working in my life in an extraordinary and and so very thankful! Now if I remember to listen and follow him in this area, I KNOW I will be successful!

Hi Nancy and Carole - I'm Linda and am very happy about this group. We need all the encouragement we can get and it's nice to have a place to get biblical encouragement.

I can't wait until this happens to me! I can't walk by a piece of anything chocolate without wanting to grab it!

Thanks for posting. My week was bad too, nice to know I"m not the only one. I am going to restart week 2 again. My issues were other parts of my life getting in the way. I HAVE GOT to learn to say no so I can do my runs!!! And of course pizza was brought into the house which is ALWAYS bad for me. Not sure why i can't eat…

All the time!

Nice job! Seems like I've been on all the meds at some point and they all stop working.... I was on Metformin but that was very hard on my stomach as was Byetta. My dr just stopped the victoza and put me on insulin and I still take the actos. It is really working well. I have one that I take every night and then another…

Sorry, I think I asked the question wrong. I meant should I eat the 1,400 calories my BMI says or should I eat the 1,500 which includes the exercise calories...........

I just started week 2. I track the walking and running separately also. I use an app called map my walk on my phone. Hoping to someday run more than walk and then I can get the map my run.......... LOL

Starting week 2 tonight. So far so good...... It's actually not as bad as I imagined. Plus it's fun to take my dogs out. Thanks for the challenge!

Thank you thank you thank you!! This is my second week and I've only lost 1 lb. The first I lost 3 and was very frustrated this morning! Now I know what the problem is!! I probably should have figured it out, but I didn't...........

That is a great feeling!!! Congraluations on your accomplishments!

Congraluations!!! That is awesome. I started C25K and am on W1D2. Thanks for the success story!

I can remember walking out of the gym many years ago and the first thing I did was light up a cigarette. I smoked for over 25 years. So I decided it was time to quit. Two things helped me. One was an online support group much like this one. The other was chocolate.......... not the best subsitute, but it worked. I haven't…
