Northeastern Michigan. Way north of Detroit

Hello, I'm Lina. I am newly diagnosed with T2 as of Friday January 13th 2017. My Doc and I have known it's been coming. She's been monitoring me for approximately 3 years. My A1C was 5.5 forever with diet and exercise but my latest was 7.7

Seriously though.. I am sorry your Grandma got cancer:(

Uh oh! Maybe straws cause cancer!

Lol! I kind of second that. The only good diet Pepsi is wild cherry, otherwise diet coke is better.

Yes, nonsense! I did not end up obese until I ate too much food! Regular soda would put me in a coma. That's why I went to diet to begin with.

I agree with them^^^^ Love my 1 bottle of diet wild cherry Pepsi a day!

Yes, carbs are fine. I have to limit the kind I eat because of prediabetes, but I still eat them. Just in whole grains, no refined flour and don't go crazy on them..

Hello Deanna. I am not new to FP but haven't been on since October! New job excuse that has now worn out. Sending you a friend's request:)

This! And just love her for her no matter what. I'm married 15 years, lived together for 17 years and still very much in love with my husband. Let her figure herself out, she will. She's so young, at 22 I was just figuring put who I was.

Lol! That is an angle I hadn't thought of. But wouldn't she have to?

Ha ha, know some people like this! Lots of them:-D

Yeah, I had to get over that one... I like the help!

Nice!

This!!!

A great big resounding NO. There would not be a chance that at this moment my budget could be stretched for even a couple of dollars more. Like so many others have said, "I would find a new free site".

This.

I add a tablespoon peanut butter and it gives me a lot of protein and keeps me full until lunch. I like to shop at walmart for produce. I do price matches with store ads from stores within 50 miles. They even match Aldi and Save a Lot prices for vegies and fruits. Anything on sale in the other stores weekly ads. Just look…

Change your "about me" stuff also? Cause now it can be just about you, for you:-)

Yes the nutrition drinks are a very good idea. I'm sorry things didn't work out like you thought they would. Put yourself first. You have worked very hard to get where you are. Nursing school is tough which proves you are also:-) You have an awesome future ahead of you! If you can move back home it would be ideal. Then you…

Some of us just cannot budget those into our lives. Friends and family should understand that. Preplanning gettogethers would prevent confusion. As for sending pictures email works great. Everyone I know has email.

Aw I'm sorry:-( I am the same way. You won't ever be able to make everyone happy 100% of the time. Some are complainers by nature. I don't know what field you work in but sometimes people complain to get items for free ie people that eat at restaraunts. They know that a lot of businesses will comp items or give them…

I used to use a lot of coupons but once I started buying healthier foods I have noticed there aren't as many coupons for the kind of food I buy. I found price matching is better for what I need. I'm always price matching. But I too believe in full honesty. I don't stockpile. Fresh food doesn't hold well.

Bumping to keep on the boards.

I am so sorry your whole family is going through this! I have seen a few times where the power of so many people praying has worked miracles. Prayers for your cousin and your entire family from Michigan!!! May you find him quickly and in good health.

Congratulations! I was .5% away on my A1c from DM2 myself and fighting to not have to take meds. I am so glad there is hope. You look great, good job!

I feel this way also. The only ones that know, are the people I'm closest to. They see me log my food in.

Hello, If you are losing inches you are definately accomplishing something. I have been on MFP for almost two months. My weight loss varies. Some weeks I do not lose anything. Then all of the sudden I'll drop a pound or two. It is just a matter of perserverance. Keep doing what you have been doing you will get to your…

This and Rhiannas whole "Take a Bow" album. There are many more out there that would appreciate you., while he apparently didn't.
