OK ENOUGH OF THE BICKERING! My gosh I was trying to do something nice and share info and if this article wasn't of use to you then don't bother posting to it. Don't bother belittling it or anyone else here. I will refrain from posting in here again. I was trying to be nice and share and all it's done is make me feel bad. I…

You're very welcome. I'm glad that the report on the differences in bread has helped someone here. That's really all it was about. I know when I did the report I was amazed to find that wheat bread, mulit grain and whole grain breads base were usually white flour. Who knew! It's an important fact for people who may or may…

yes I believe I did mention that whole wheat bread numerous times in the article but thanks for the info

I agree it is up to personal taste, but the article wasn't about rice or pasta it was about breads. It was about the difference between the breads, the processing and which was more beneficial then the other. Not trying to force it on anyone just sharing a report I ha done for a medical community, so people can make an…

I agree whole grain pasta is horrible, I myself use Dreamfields pasta which is very low in the glycemic levels and doesn't affect my blood sugars at all. but the article was about breads and you really have to shop around for a whole wheat that is good. I mentioned that the Country Kitchen light whole wheat did NOT have…

Whole grain is mostly cereal grains see the Multi grain paragraph above. The base is usually white flour or wheat flour which I addressed also.

Well really the article wasn't about fiber, it was about all the nutrients lost during the processing of the white flour and also the benefits of whole wheat vs all the other breads. Being a diabetic I also know how the white flours affect blood sugars more profoundly then the whole wheat because the other nutrients…

I don't see why you can't weigh a gallon of milk and adjust the contents accordingly. Just put it on a food scale or hold it while you get on a scale. It has handles, just rinse it out and put water in the jug instead. you can also lift cans of some food product. You can also stand with your back to a chair seat. place…

Why not have a fund raising event. Seriously my nephew did for his dog and raised over 1000.00. You could buy one of those doggie wheelie thingies that attaches to his hind end and he can walk around and use the doggie diapers too. Until you can save up the money for surgery. If he's not in pain it's just a logistic issue…

How about instead of buying poptarts at the store. Offer her an afternoon of making her own poptarts with pie dough and fresh fruit that you mashed up (i.e. apples and strawberries) that way you can control the sugar. There is also sugar free frosting out there you could dilute and drizzle lightly over the tart. They also…

Sure I'll try. I did some calculations that I'll share here. There are 50 days until Xmas. That's 7.14 weeks. At 2 lbs a week that's a total loss of 14.30 lbs by Xmas. So I'm shooting for at least 10 considering I can't do many activities due to diabetic pain in the feet and medications that make you gain weight. 10 by…

Agreed. Weight loss advice is one thing, Eating disorders is another, but then again when I was losing weight I got very anal about what I ate, but I wouldn't consider it' pre-anorexic.

Try your local YMCA and work out on each for a month and see which you get the best results from.

Wow don't you look great!!!! Congrats on such a successful journey. I'm sure you've been a big inspiration to everyone here and also setting a great example for your children and family. :flowerforyou:

First of all why did he prescribe Metformin to you? I'm a diabetic and that is the medication normally given to diabetics. Also given to women with polycystic ovary syndrome. If he gave you pills ONLY to help with weight loss I'd see a different doctor. As I've told other women here you also need to see a registered…

You should go to a "registered" dietician as most doctors do not understand what food does to your body. I know this because I used to work in a nursing home and would frequently have doctors change a patients diet to one that was not suitable for them and we'd have to speak to him. A registered dietician goes to college…

Hey K-bugg I understand where you're coming from. I also clicked on the community for a buddy to go through this journey with. While the last poster was a bit harsh in saying it's up to you, it is the truth we won't be there for each other when we need a snack but we can help each other through the down times and give…

Awwww

My click was a double whammy. I have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and on disability due to severe nerve pain in my feet from the diabetes. I've noticed a lot of people are dying from diabetes lately and I do not want to be a statistic. It's starting to scare me now! Plus my wedding ring is getting tight…

Wow way to go ! I'm new here and you're officially going to be one of my inspirational profiles on here. I need to lose 124 to get down to 130 lbs. I don't know what I look like thin and it's a little scary. Sometimes I wonder if it's why I always cave at 50 lbs off, but you've gotten me excited about taking off my first…
