I felt the same way, I found a small yoga studio that offers personal training and I have been doing that once a week for about 6 months. I love it, I am the only person in the room and it has given me the confidence and ability to join other group classes. Shop around and find somewhere you feel comfortable.

Trader Joe's has a candy cane green tea that I love

This thread made me order one for the husband for Christmas :)

I'm not consistent but I do notice I do much better when I plan ahead. I like to look at what I have on hand and then look through the grocery store adds and make a menu for the week and shop accordingly, this way I know what to take out ahead of time. I usually leave 1 day blank and shift things around as needed. I only…

I like Jimmy Deans frittatas and Special K crustless quiche, both are delicious and easy to have on hand in the freezer for lazy mornings when I need something quick I can heat up at work.

I am sorry for your loss. I wish I had more tips but distraction is my only suggestion.

it makes my stomach a little upset so I think that helps me eat a little less. I would ask you physician or pharmacist about the other meds.

you could try to log it in your food notes so that you have everything in one spot.

I was in a hurry to get off the metformin but yesterday someone mentioned the site bloodsugar101.com and although it depressed me a bit because the information is so different from what the dietitian told me it was interesting. It had several reasons why its better to stay on the metformin. My doctor called and suggested I…

I have not but now I am curious to hear what others have to say about it.

Interesting site, maybe I shouldn't be in such a hurry to get off the Metformin.

I am confused isn't a reading of 126 2 hours after you eat considered good? Everything I have been told and read says the goal is to be under 170 is acceptable.

Great news

Happy Birthday! I asked my doctor when I read that and she said it was fine to have a few drinks. I think the main concern is the liver.

I do not have a gallbladder and my only issues are with rich foods which run right through me.

Welcome!

it can be overwhelming to look at the big picture. I like to set smaller goals where I get a fun treat like new jeans, makeup or shoes and that seems to help.

Hi my name is Jen. I have lost 43 pounds in 3 1/2 months following the amounts set by MFP although they are a little lower than the nutritionist recommended . I started when I found out I had type 2 diabetes. My numbers have been great lately and I hope to have a good a1c later this month and get off the metformin. I find…

that is fantastic!

I have issues with fasting numbers too bit I don't know what a liver dump is.

I have been drinking a lot of tea in the evening when I want to snack.

Bella, if you haven't already you may want to check out the type 2 diabetes group.

great work, keep it up!

I have that issue once in a while, its awful! I usually associate it with dehydration.

That is fantastic!

I see you on the spreadsheet now so maybe someone fixed it our could you have had the spreadsheet minimized, I know I have done that before :)

Congtats, that is wonderful!

Welcome.

Welcome. I hope you find MFP to be as helpful as I have.
