Thank you all for the knowledge! My blood sugars are some better but still higher than normal. I am keeping a log of my fasting blood sugar and 2 hrs post meals. I am documenting all my food here on MFP. One question I have is that it looks like my glucose is higher at 3 hrs post meal that at 2 hrs. Could it be that my…

Thanks for the reply. I will look tomorrow for the a1c tests. When I cut sugared sodas out a month ago I replaced them with carbonated flavored water sweetened with Splenda. Maybe that is not good either. I will look for the Bai5. I will also research the glycemic load also. Thanks for the great info!

Thanks so much!

No I have not had the a1c test yet that I know of. I have been watching my carbs here on MFP and completely cut out sugared drinks but tonight my family went out to eat. I was drinking at least 6 cokes a day prior to finding out my glucose was high a month ago. I know eating out was my downfall tonight but how concerned…

I really like the crystal light iced tea w/ lemon singles packets. I put it in a water bottle and it is only 10 calories! Tastes terrific too!

I have fibro also and you can friend me. I have a ton of weight to lose so I will be here for quite a while! ;-)

I have also had Guillain-Barre Syndrom in which I still struggle w/residuals, have Fibromyalgia, Myofacial pain, a start of Rhumatoid Arthritis, & Chronic fatigue. It is hard for me to exercise & if I do too much, I could end in bed for a week or more. Everyday is an evaluation of myself to push myself but not overdo.…

I also have had Guillain-Barre. It has been almost 10 yrs but I still live with residuals. Since I also have fibromyalgia and other things going on it is hard for me to exercise. Some days I have too much pain but this site is helpful for me to stay within my calories. Friend me if you like...it is always good to have…

I am restarting this again too and need motivational friends also! Feel free to add me and I will encourage you in any way I can!

I too am a stress eater and lately, I have been in constant stress. It has been a constant battle for me to not stuff my face. It is like a battle of good vs evil! I can totally relate. Food is my addiction! I have never drank or smoked but have used food as my 'go to'. I am still learning on how to combat it!

I need friends too and you can add me if you like. My diary is closed though so I don't know if that matters. I don't need anyone scrutinizing me because I am doing the best I can. Good luck with everything!

L1 D1 done and it kicked my butt. Hope it gets easier!

I have been told to take vitamin D3, not plain D. I have tested low for many years even when taking D3 and finally my Dr. Prescribed 50,000 iu-one pill a week for 5 weeks. Just got retested so hopefully it helped. Definitely talk to your doctor. I know what you mean though about SAD! I live in the US and the winters in…

I am an emotional eatter too. Last week was stressful for my family and found myself stuffing food in my mouth to cope. I immediately spit it out and got busy cleaning my house instead. I truly believe food is my addiction and it makes it so hard because you cannot just quit using it. You need food everyday to live. It is…

I hate it when people say expecially for especially

The only thing that happened was that a month prior I had an infection when my daughter was born. Not much is known about it. A lot of the time it starts at the extremeties but mine started on my right thigh. It felt as though I was injected there with novocaine but over weeks got worse. At the beginning I didn't have any…

I don't want to scare you but please watch it closely. Eight years ago a portion of my right thigh went numb and over a few weeks got worse and worse until I could not lift my leg anymore to even put on pants. I went to a neurologist who diagnosed Guillain-Barre Syndrome which is when a virus eats away the covering from…

I am also in the 200 club. I started this journey in August so I am fairly new too. I started at a weight of 270 and am down 12 pounds. Feel free to add me as a friend. I will be around here for a long, long time!

Your story is so similar to mine! You are amazing and I am going to keep this thread so that I can come back and read this if I ever lose motivation! I totally understand the amusement park thing, tieing shoes, and the airplanes--WOW, you are such an inspiration! Great job!!!

First of all women are more about feelings and as your husband, should be lifting you up and doing things to make you feel special. If you don't feel special you won't feel sexy. If he really wanted the sexy nighties on you--why doesn't he go shopping and buy you one???? He should look at your clothes-see what size you…

Wow-You look AMAAAAZING!!! Also, a BIG thanks to your husband, you, and your family for your service to our country!

Yes, I do get that sometimes. Also, I have had it where the tops of my legs itch from walking. Don't know what it is though-probably for me it is from being out of shape :)

The Love Boat Fantasy Island

I too have fibromyalgia and just started this journey on MFP. I also have very low vitamin D levels. I try to exercise as much as possible with my favorite being swimming. It is easier on me than anything else. I wish I could exercise and do something like Insanity but I would end up in bed for a week. Feel free to add me…

You are an inspiration with your weight loss and life in general! I am a mom of 3 and can't imagine all you are juggling! WTG!

mmm, sounds yummy!

If I am really craving a candy bar or something salty/sweet I will put it on a spoon and put a couple chocolate chips in it to satisfy my sweet tooth. Mostly though I eat it plain or on toast.

WooHoo girl-you look terrific!!! Well done!

I live in Mt. Pleasant, TX but also lived in Katy, TX (suburb of Houston) a few years ago. I am originally from Iowa though.

Yummy! Thanks!
