Wow you look awesome!!!!

feel free to add me

I have veggies every afternoon with tzatziki, which is a cucumber yogurt dip. I get the presidents choice with garlic. It is 50 calories per 2 tbsp. Delicious :)

Hi there, I'm also a type 2 diabetic, having had gestional diabetes with both my pregnancies and a long line of diabetics on my mother's side. At the beginning of August my boys had an "intervention" of sorts as I wasn't eating properly at all, not exercise, not enough rest and a "I don't give a crap" attitude about my…

I like my bubbly personality :tongue:

My NSV today is realizing when I was walking a quick sprint mile on my break that I wasn't winded. I started walking at the beginning of August and do to the same thing would have me winded and sweating. Loving the fact my body is starting to cooperate. :happy:

Feel free to add me too.....it is an awesome place to be!

I'm 5" tall and 46 so right now I'm aiming for 140 but when I get there I will reaccess and probably try for 130. Depends how I look and feel.

Great job!!

Name/ real name: Ann Goal weight on oCTOBER 31 : 178.4 10/1: 183.4 10/8: 10/15: 10/22: 10/29: 10:31 Here's to a great week!!

Thank you. I have been to a dietician as part of my treatment and unfortunately the one at the clinic where I go is one apple short of a barrel (if you know what I mean (lol)). The other one I have travelled to is quite a distance away therefore I have been doing this on my own. The problem lies in the fact my exercise is…

Congrats....you`re doing great. Beautiful pic :)

Sydney, Nova Scotia.....Canada

I would like to join.....thanks

Wow....you looking amazing. What an inspiration for those that are starting out!!

Thanks guys!!!! I actually have some in the crock pot as we speak. Just got back on the computer as we had a virus but will definitely try the ones you guys posted! I love having soups and chilis during the fall and winter months. Comfort foods. Just want to have them healthy.

I was trying to keep it more veggies but after I thought about it for a while, think I'm going to add meat. Want to make taco salad for lunches this week. Just delicious and so filling.

Stylish and happy

As a diabetic carbs really don`t agree with me. I don`t come near what I should eat carb wise per day during the week, although the weekends tend to be higher for me. I need more protein to make me feel full and with a balance of veggies, fruit and yogurt, I get enough carbs that my body needs but not too many that I don`t…

You look wonderful....totally inspiring :smile:

I K I S S as well. I have my scales, measuring cups and spoons. I plan out, write down and do my best. Some days I`m under, some days I`m just right, and others I`m definitely over. But I keep it simple. I know what I should eat, and aim for that. I prep for the week on the weekend to make things easier. And I plug foods…

You know I like that idea of the one day off. See on the weekend, especially Sunday, is the one day I get to spend with my significant other and we have a big supper, because he`s on the road so much through the week, or we go out on a date for supper or lunch. But if this weekend I kept to more of a routine on Saturday,…

I`m in a weight loss group/contest for 13 weeks. Because we weigh in the evening, I also take my weight at home because I tend to retain fluid through the day and I don`t want to be discouraged. The morning weight is a true weight and so I keep track of both.

Happy Birthday tomorrow....you look awesome. Seeing your before and now picture is very motivational. My recent NSV was last week in the middle of days and days of rain. Last spring I bought a raincoat that really didn`t fit me, but I couldn`t get one anywhere and settled on that one. I could zip it but I couldn`t sit down…

Was a good post to put things into perspective. I eat just my allotment or a little under and if I eat into exercise points I feel guilty. So this was quite eyeopening. Thanks again.

I bought a Kobo ereader about 3 weeks ago. A friend downloaded a number of books for me that she had in her library and I have to tell you I absolutely love it!! My boyfriend bought me a zippered case and I just toss it in my work bag. I read on the bus or waiting for the bus, on lunch and before bed. The only thing with…

Having my 15 and 18 year old boys having an intervention and telling me if I didn`t start taking care of myself that I wouldn`t be around to see grandchildren or be there for them. At that moment I knew it wasn`t about me anymore.....it was about them. I am a diabetic and have arthritis so losing weight, walking and taking…
