I love adding some sesame seed oil and butter to my stir fry. That is also something I eat all the time. It adds fat and calories so you might want to try that. I also always have eggs for breakfast, with a little bit of cheese and cooked in butter. Often times, for me at least, high protein foods keep me from being hungry…

I went nine months, and that was right after surgery... which I suspect may have had something to do with it. Normally though, my cycles are around 30-60 days. I was four months along with my oldest son before I even realized I was pregnant... I just didn't have that "missed period" alarm bell that other people have, so I…

Hi, I don't have Type 2 diabetes, but I saw your post and thought I ought to respond since I just started on Metformin as well. I'm taking it for fertility/PCOS issues. My doctor advised me to start at 500 mg, and do that for a week, then up it by another 500 on the second week and again on the third... and holding it at…

Good to read this, I just joined this group and I just started Metformin on Friday. So far the side effects have been tolerable, they aren't as scary as I had feared, but even as mild as they seems so far... it's getting old. It's almost a bit like dieting, in that I just get tired of not feeling 100%. I'm trying to stay…

I'm planning on starting today or tomorrow. Is anyone doing the nutrition program? I wasn't real impressed with the suggestions, but I thought about loosely following it: adding a few snacks in the day and cutting out carbs for my last snack and dinner. My days will probably go something like this: pineapple and cottage…

We make this at least twice a month, my version of Chicken tortilla soup. I calc'ed it at around 8 carbs. My husband puts tortilla chips in his, but I leave them out. It is good either way though! 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded 1 carton chicken broth (don't know the size but it comes in a paper carton) 1 can cilantro-lime…

I sort of did the same thing... I did south beach for about two weeks and lost six pounds this summer. After that I switched to counting calories and it took me 2.5 months to take off the next seven pounds. I've been low carb again for a week and am down another three... so it really seems that for me, this is the way to…

One more thing... I don't have any low carbers of my friends list so anyone feel free to add me!

:-) I drank MIO mixed with water and vodka on a trip earlier this summer. You're right, it is dangerous, it tastes just like Kool Aid! Now it is my drink of choice though, especially now that I am trying the low carb thing.

Very cool! I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I will. Being an accountant, I love cool spreadsheets :-)

Vodka, water, ice and Mio, that stuff you squirt in water to make it tasty. It tastes like kool aid.

I did the C25K last summer (I got to week 8 and stopped.... boo!) And this will probably repeat what others said, but 1) good shoes and 2) make sure you are properly hydrated BEFORE you start. If you have access to one (I didn't last summer, but I've done this before) then consider doing it on a elliptical. It is lower…

Welcome! I recently got a Kinect with the expectations that I would be doing more with it. Right now the problem is that I don't really know what is good and what isn't. I've downloaded some demo's... I got a demo for Your Shape, one of Let's Dance or something like that, and one for Zumba. I wasn't impressed with any of…

That's what I was thinking too... no more secrets. Not quite ready to post what I ate on Twitter though :-D

I need some motivation too. I'll add you :-)

I'll add you... if I can figure out how. I've been on MFP on and off for a while but am ready to "start again" :-/. I'm looking for friends to keep me motivated.
