what everyone else has said. Open diary + friends = accountability, cheer squad, buddies to talk about nutrition and exercise without them getting bored with you. The other day I didnt post a hello message in the morning and a few people were looking for me - I hadnt even realised I was sending a hello message every…

Me too - I am 7 months since my diagnosis and 35kg (78 lbs) lighter. Friend me :)

Also here every day - friend me if I can help :)

But corn thins are highly processed and high GI so as a diabetic they are off limits for me. But otherwise not a bad idea!

Yep. pictures or it didnt happen ;)

We eat Heinz beans in Australia. But I skip the toast :)

If you don't eat egss then don't eat them. But if you are going to eat them then eat the yolks. Eggs are a whole food and an excllent source of nutrition! And eating eggs almost every day has certainly not hampered my weight loss - I've lost 35kg (77lbs) in just under 7 months, even while eating egg yolks! hahah

I agree that more fruit and veg would help a lot. I have been losing over the last 6 months by working on a mainly whole food diet trying to avoid processed food as much as possible, lots of meat, fish, egss, nuts, salads, fruit and veg etc. Feel free to friend me if you think I can help xx

I'm 5'4" I started at 225 lbs in June and I'm now down to 147 lbs. Eating around 1200 a day -ish

90 something here - feel free to add me :)

Didn't realize there were so many potheads here either - but you certainly shouldn't feel stupid! To the OP - congrats on making such a great committment to changing your life and good luck with your weight loss goals. Feel free to add me if I can be of any help. To some of the other posters - We are trying to get healthy…

In the morning, after toilet and before shower. I weigh daily but dont record a loss unless I see it a few days in a row.

Yes, excellent point. Nathan sports make a range of gear (like my drink bottle) that come with ID cards. They make everything with IDs and also reflective - if you're someone who runs at dawn like I do thats important!

I am a fair way into the journey - but happy to be a friend if I can help. And I have some lovely people along with me - no meanies allowed!! Feel free to friend me :)

iphone in an armband (for music and GPS tracking and calls if an emergency) and I have a really small fist grip water bottle with a pocket - which holds my key, a kleenex, ID and $10 for emergencies). I run for about an hour so dont need any huge water, but sometimes having a mouthful is lovely. The bottle only holds…

Mine too. I aim for 1200, sometimes over and sometimes under, and aim to eat healthy. Im also diabetic which limits some things that I cant eat. But if I can help, its all there :)

I am a running newbie too. I started off walking - walking at a rapid pace every day until I felt comfortable with that. Then after a few weeks I started running down hills and walking up hills. Then I startedrunning downhills and flat bits and walking up hills. Now I can run about 90% of the time I am running with only a…

This is why I hate the gym. When I am running on the road if people think anything bad I have run away from them before they can say it HAHAHA!

This. Why does everyone have to be so black and white about this? We all have different requiremenbts depending on body size, muscle mass, age, gender, activity, etc etc etc My medical team are thrilled with my progress, and my calculated needs by them are actually less than 1200 (Im short, female and over 40). I aim…

Feel free to friend me if I can help. :)

I'm 161 and 5'4" - down from 225 lbs back in June. I havent really decided what my goal weight is - 130-140 I think. Feel free to add me if I can help!

Ive been on here about two months and have lost 64 lbs (29kg) in the last six months. Log daily, open diary and happy to be part of your support crew. Feel free to add me if you wish :)

I've lost 64 lbs so far since June - no regain, no plateau, just steady weight loss. Its not quite 100 but well on the way. Feel free to add me if I can help support you xx

awesome links - thanks!

Good job Adam! PS. Love the rugby photo :) what position do you play?

For me its about green tea, water, sparkling mineral water or soda water and I have coffee about once or twice a day but only with skim milk. I don't drink diet sodas anymore after I found that the artifical sweeteners seemed to make me more hungry and craving sweet things. I do break the "drinking calories" rules though…

Well I ate, drank, was merry, logged it all...and was under! Haha awesome!!!

I would love to eat whatever, but this is my first Christmas with diabetes so a lot of the really naughty stuff I can't eat anyway - no mince pies, Christmas pudding, Christmas cake, chocolates, ice cream, shortbread, custard etc for me! Can't afford to let my blood sugar get out of control. I expect I am still going to…

hahha OK I'll keep that in mind :)

OK. Thats fair, wish you had said it that way in the first place. Thank you for clarifying.
