You are doing awesome! Especially for a teenager. And you are just so tiny. I would say that you need more protein, more veggies and less processed foods. Eggs (brown eggs, omega-3) in the morning are great (you could even add some spinach or something green in them to get more veggies- it's quick & easy- and healthy)!…

There are some homemade recipes out there (I haven't tried to make them myself yet, but the plan is to try to make them soon): Collard Chips (recipe from wine club: a bag of collard greens, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp sea salt) Coconut Sesame…

Thanks for sharing this! These forums are so confusing- and at times contradict what doctors & dieticians tell us. When I went to a pre-diabetes education class the clinician running the course stated the importance of a LOWER caloric intake with regular exercise to lose weight. And generally speaking, one should focus on…

I am going to start seeing a nutritionist next week. I scheduled the official session after attending a training lead by her. I thought that she, in particular, would be a good fit for me. She provides customized, easy to make/easy to prepare recipes & goes over them with you in your own home (this was crucial for me…

Thanks for the advice! What carbs do you guys recommend eating? I tend to eat lunch pretty late, I am think I should move that up (so I don't have a long break with no food in the middle of the day)- and plan for a mid-afternoon snack.

Welcome back!

I second Tilran . . .. I am new to this "eating healthy" thing, but i went into knowing that it was a lifestyle change, and not a diet. I have focused on portion control and learning how much I am supposed to eat/need to eat vs. how much I would like to eat. And I haven't taken drastic steps (why bother, I couldn't…

I think Jenna Marbles is pretty funny. I like her YouTube posts.

Welcome!

Welcome! I just joined a couple of weeks ago- and so far MFP has been a tremendous help! People are very positive here and the tracking tools are easy to use. All the best to you!

@Justkeepswimmin: Thanks for the direction! Right now I am at a local circuit gym, but know at some point I may get bored with this. Walking is probably the next activity I will incorporate into my routine (I can use it to be nosey and explore new neighborhoods). But, I will look into classes (independent of a gym- or open…

Thanks for sharing your story! Type II is a intense, but it is awesome that you are trying to make this better. I, too, have to learn to just eat my veggies and am a little too close to the diabetes zone. And I hope your treadmill works too- it sounds really hot & somewhat miserable outside where you are from! What are the…

Wow! You have a lot on your plate- it's very impressive. Please free to add me!
-
I have bookmarked this page, it's clear and straightforward.
-
Wow, thanks for all of the advice! The diabetes thing scares me so I appreciate any support and compassion. And it looks we are both "at risk" and from the Bay.

This is a great community! Please feel free to add me!
-
I like MFP too! Feel free to add me as a friend.
-
Oh, no responses yet. . .

I am new to MFP! And am supportive- and could use some support as well. Add me.
-
That's awesome! Friend request is coming . . .
-
Your starting weight is my goal weight! But definitely feel free to add me- I am looking for MFP friends as well.
-
I need support too! You can totally add me- and I am not super close but in the West (California- Bay Area)

The short answer is that one just needs to lose weight to get out of the pre-diabetes range. I was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes as well (just last week). I emailed my doctor as my test results came back (I noticed the glucose stuff- but was concerned with the fatty liver results because this has shown up before). I…

This is such an interesting question . . . . a solid percentage of my coworkers eat pretty healthy (they bring their lunches, actively use our kitchen, etc.). And when there are meetings over lunch, salads & sandwiches from Specialty's or someplace local are common. . . . (full disclosure- I live in the San Francisco Bay…

Casa Chicas - Thick & Crispy Tortilla Chips 100% Natural, 3 oz (28 g), I thought that would be OK because they tend to be seen as slightly healthier than the "big bag" brands and are sold at gourmet grocery stores. . . but they are high in calories, carbs and fat. But they are good.

I am going to try out one of those diet meal delivery plans. I don't like to cook and usually don't have the time to (I tend to get home at around 9 or 10, 3 days a week or so because of after-work commitments). . . this leads to me eating out, or making really unhealthy but tasty foods at home. My friend recommended…
