Being diagnosed pre diabetic .

The way I understand this is your daily goal is 1,230 without factoring in any exercise . The 1,480 is what MFP calculates you will burn a week doing your workouts . When you do a workout and enter it your daily calorie goal 1,230 will increase . You must decide if and how many of those exercise calories to eat . Cindy…

I got my FT4 off EBay . It was brand new in the package for $60 .

I'm not worried at all . I'm allergic to chocolate so none of that for me . I will be doing the cooking . I am not cooking a ham because of the sodium . I'm considering a turkey . If I roast a turkey we will also have baked sweet potatoes and a big garden salad .

I workout 6 days a week . An hour or more a day .

I think it's important to start a plan you can stick with long term . Starting an extreme diet or exercise program usually ends in failure . Track everything you eat . Drink a lot of water . Eat lots of fruits and veggies . Eat lean meats and low fat dairy . Whole grains in moderation . Get moving . Find an exercise…

I love spaghetti squash ! It is a marvel ! I always top it with pasta sauce and either turkey meatballs or turkey Italian sausage .

I'm a stay at home mom . I homeschool my 14 year old daughter . Please feel free to add me .

I have an FT4 and I love it ! It's very easy to use and very accurate .

I have a polar FT4 and I only wear the watch when I'm working out .

I think a low carb high protein diet is the way to go . You can set up your food diary to track what you want, you don't need to follow MFP guidelines for carbs and proteins . You need to eat in whatever way keeps your glucose levels under control . I was recently diagnosed pre diabetic . I've done a lot of reading on…

My health . I was recently diagnosed pre diabetic . I'll be damned if I'm going to become full blown diabetic if I can help it .

I have a Boxer .

I honestly believe most people are obese because of emotional issues. I know I am . I don't believe the surgery would heal what is actually broken . Its important to work through the emotions that caused the weight . It is very possible to lose weight and keep it off with diet and exercise . The only situation where I…

I eat some of my exercise calories . I am a tad lenient with myself . I still try and stick with healthy choices . I was craving chips big time today so I ate a serving of baked Cheetos and a serving of Special K cracker chips .

I would get a pound of dry beans , brown rice , eggs and if I could swing it a jar of peanut butter . I wish you luck . That would be hard .

I first rewarded myself for losing 50 pounds was a new exercise bike . I plan on new clothing of some sort for every 20 pounds lost from now on .

303 calories - egg beaters with salsa and a slice of thin cheddar cheese . 2 slices 45 calorie wheat with sugar free jam and a light and fit yogurt .

I love Laughing Cow cheeses . I spread it on wheat crackers , dip apple slices in it , add it to my eggs . I also like to use it when I eat a tuna sandwich . Spread it on the bread instead of mayo or other cheese .

Bump - thanks for sharing .

I have lost 100 pounds two times just to gain it back. This time is different because I was diagnosed with pre diabetes . I wil NOT let myself become full blown diabetic . The diagnoses was the kick in the behind I needed .

I rode for an hour today . 14 .67 miles . Stationary bike . I am aiming for more miles tomorrow .

I will be 40 in April . I sure hope a 40+ person can be hot because I intend to be !

Chips - Doritos being my favorite . Tacos , pizza - yummmm. My birthday is in April and I'm considering alowing myself a couple pieces of pizza instead of a cake .

I work out for a half hour to an hour 6 days a week . An hour on my exercise bike . The 30 minute days are workout DVDs .
