Hi All, My name is David and I have been diagnosis with Diabetes. In fact, it's so recently that I haven't discussed the lab results with my doctor or consulted with the International Diabetes Center (for nutritional consulting), past my doctor stating I have Diabetes, recommended nutritional counseling, and prescribing me…

I empathize with you. I don't know if its true, but I believe the first 10-20 pounds is usually water weight. It's fairly easy to lose those pounds and they come off fairly quickly. But often you hit your first plateau. It can seem like forever to start the weight loss again but it will start again. Be patient, it will…

I too, love small sweet desserts on occasion. Here is something I found that is only 100 calories per bars. The recipe is found at: http://recipes.splenda.com/recipes/1397135-Blueberry-Cheesecake-Bars I will try to make them soon and tell you what I think. If you get it before me, please let me know what you think of them.…

I too disconnected my Fitbit. I was getting frustrated that I would have a small amount of calories, like +150 before bed at 10pm. And when I woke I noticed that the day ended on a deficit of like -200 calories. It just seemed like I never knew where I was calorie-wise because it would give me too many and then take them…

TanyaCurtis: Very beautiful! 10

I do appreciate the encouragement. I really do. But not to try to make too much of an excuse but maybe, even though I think I would like to ride the bike, it may still not be for me. Because I am 360lbs and most of that weight is in the upper body. It all rests directly on the tailbone, when on a bike. Now I'm losing…

I actually think this is a good place to have one. Because there is possibly many of us that find that exercise equipment & activities are bent more towards the people that are more physically fit or thinner. That in its self makes exercise frustrating and unpleasant. But others might find that physical exertion physically…

You are more than welcome! :wink:

So the tailbone hurting for days afterwards is what I need to endure along with numbness in the legs for an hour or so after riding? This is where I question if riding a bike is right for me. Maybe just stick to Square Dancing. But... The padded bike shorts are an option that I thought about at one time, but didn't do it.…

I wish I could ride my bike more. But being as big on top as I am and having virtually no butt (for padding to sit on a bike), it gets to be an agonizing ride. I think I would actually enjoy riding more if it didn't hurt as much as it does. AND don't tell me about getting a bigger softer seat. I've went through 6 seats…

adriennewx: Adorable playful smile. I love your looks! 10

Yep, me too! I hear about the people that need to eat back their calories that they excercised off. I wish I was that lucky! I have my meals and by midday, I need to plan to do some activity I really don't feel like doing just to have a few calories reserved for the rest of the day & for dinner. So my activities are driven…

Excercise equipement & bicycle collecting dust (and I don't care). But I do enjoy Wii Tennis & Boxing along with Square Dancing. So at least I have that. It's all individual... :wink:

I completely agree with you on this!

kaylemartin: Warm & beautiful. :happy: 9

Thank you. :embarassed: Coming from you, it's a very nice compliment! :wink:

Secretlybeaut: 10! (In other words, someone that wouldn't look at me twice :wink: )

knay111: I like the hairstyle and color. It fits your look well. Quite attractive, I give you a 7 :smile:

I agree with much of what has been said but I will give an idea of how I would carry the night out as: 1.) Wear something good looking (complimenting your looks but not look like you’re dressed up too much). Sexy but understated. 2.) Keep the meal simple because it just adds additional pressure in making it just right. If…

After I worte this, I noticed a post regarding exactly what you asked. I read the article and unfortunately it didn';t sink in for me, I may need to read it again to truly understand what they were talking about. But in general they gave information on how the human body metabolism works and how excercise and calories work…

I would assume that it probably doesn't really matter if in general you still exercise at times. The thought that exercise burns calories is a definite plus but what it actually helps is maintain a healthy metabolism. You see if you don’t exercise but you drop your calories down to a point where you are somewhat starving…
