I have three. Peanut butter, popcorn (with butter), and snickers......

As a former home health RN in rural north Florida, in MHO, it is about access to healthy foods. The only store they can get to is the jiffy mart in which their selection is hot dogs, boiled peanuts, little debbie cakes and chips. When someone is able to bring them fresh fruits and vegetables they are grateful....many of…

I think people who say negative things are really just jealous. I've not had mine done (YET) but when all this weight is finally off, you can bet your bottom dollar that I'm going to have the girls lifted and enhanced :-). Go for it if you are doing it for you!

While I am not an expert on this, I am a cardiovascular nurse .... some people can handle the high heart rate without difficulty, but you were symptomatic with the heart rate (feeling dizzy, etc.) and that is not a good sign. It is wonderful that you can run and run fast, but maybe the truth of the matter is you just need…

I've been overweight for nearly 20 years. I think weight was my excuse for not participating in life and therefore eliminating "risk" of failure. If someone didn't like me, I'd say it was because I was too fat for them. Men weren't interested in me ... it was because I was fat. My sex life wasn't good .... again it was…

Hi! I'm type 1 diabetic too. I don't use a pump, but I take Levemir and cover my carbs with Apidra. I definitely have times of "stalling" in my weight loss journey. I have A LOT of weight to lose, and my first few took quite a while to finally come off. I will tell you that I did cut way back on my diet soda (Diet Dr.…

A GIANT tub of movie theater popcorn with butter.........

I'm just wondering if a HRM can really be accurate when you add resistance/increase stride length, etc.? What about for lifting and calisthenics? I generally put in the MFP calories and then discount them by 20% ... which is just a little more than the machines (which may or may not be properly calibrated) usually…

As a nurse and someone with lots of diabetes in my family, I can tell you the best way to avoid diabetes is keeping your weight down and daily exercise. My mom (who has 15 brothers and sisters) is the only one in her immediate family without diabetes. She is now 78, but walks 10 - 15 minutes after EVERY meal and only has…

We love football in my house :-) But, I don't have parties or craziness. My husband and I just enjoy watching the sport together --- and sometimes our son watches too.....

Thank you for sharing! Sound yummy ... and I just bought zucchini today :-)

Absolutely!

Chocolate Chip Muffins (gluten free/fat free/sugar free) (If you make 12 muffins they are about 118 calories each .... if you make mini muffins they are around 48 calories each) Ingredients: 1 3/4 c oats 3 egg whites 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt…

I get this all the time..... People always ask what i've done with my hair ....the cut and color are the same.... my face is just about 1/2 it's previous size!

Fiber One 90 calorie brownies. Filling and sates the sweet tooth. If I have time to sit down, I eat 1/2 cup light and lively cottage cheese with mandarin oranges.

Not that my comments matter at this point in this thread anyway.....I'd just like to say as a diabetic who knows all about insulin spikes, etc. .... Since September when I started supplementing with whey protein shakes, I have stabilized my blood sugar levels and lost over 30 lbs. Fat, Dairy, Sugars and other Carbs, Fiber,…

Congratulations on your decision! I believe the MFP community is one of the best ways to lose weight and get healthy! I am a registered nurse and work in critical care. I do not know your particular circumstances, but I do hope that you will listen to your physician or health-care practioner before deciding not to take…

I started exercising to help lower my blood sugars and reduce the amount of insulin I was taking....After two weeks of exercising 4 days a week, I realized how much better I felt. Now, 4 months later, I crave the exercise. I always feel so much better after 30 - 45 minutes of cardio. Plus, when I'm at the gym, there's…

First, congrats on your successes in 2012. In 2012: * I've lost over 26 pounds *Brought my blood sugars into tight control *Reduced my use of insulin by more than 1/2 *Since September 21st, I have exercised vigorously for at least 45 minutes 4 - 5 days per week -- and ENJOYED it *I found ways to reduce my stress level…

For me #1 is logging everything that goes in my mouth ... and preplanning meals BEFORE I go to a restaurant so that I'm not eating more than my daily allowance.... Exercise is definitely #2.

I don't. Using the word cheat makes it sound negative. Like many others who have posted, if I must have it, I just work it into my calories for the day. If it is something that is above my calorie goals for the day (give or take 100 or so calories), then I only eat half a serving. I find that I usually only want half…

You know, I really felt that way too....I really struggled everytime I walked through the door with my 250+ lbs. But I was telling a co-worker, who happens to be very thin and fit, about how I felt. I told her that I wanted to have the discipline that she had some day. She looked at me and said that I had it backwards. She…
