Super. It's so exciting to buy new, smaller clothes.

I wish I could have some of Mule's burns :laugh: , he's burnin' down the house!!! I spent Friday and Saturday swinging a sledge hammer. My arms were so sore, I almost…

I'll weigh in on Monday. I'm mostly concerned with total lbs./inches lost anyway. I've got bad eating days ahead, it actually started tonight. Monday you'll hear me crying!!!

I'm avoiding the big party this year. The Tornado, my 5yr. old, doesn't leave me alone long enough to see any of the game, so I hate to go and eat the snacks if I'm not really present. I'll fix my own Super Bowl treats in moderation and try to catch the commercials. Best of luck to everyone else!!! Hope your team wins and…

I, too, succumbed to the call from the kitchen. I baked a huge batch of cookies and made 2 batches of baked apple chips. The apple chips are at least…

Welcome to our friendly, little group. All are welcome!!!

SW: 194 CW: 141 AFCGW: 129 UGW: 120-125 Subject to change 1/13: 141 1/20: 135 (-6) Seems a little high in the weight loss. I may have still been retaining water when I weighed in last week. Next weeks weigh in should be more accurate.

First week back, after 2 months of holiday eating. It's been hard to not snack. I'm doing well with the measuring and weighing, but I want to snack and eat more helpings. I'm on Jury Duty too. All that sitting and waiting. :ohwell: I'm taking my lunch with me and only a few snacks. I'm hoping my stomach will shrink back up…

I never knew. I, too, am a nerd! I love the bells and whistles on the spreadsheet!!!

Thanks Momma, I'm going to try this when I find where I put my motivation. :smile:

Congrats. it sounds very exciting. I'll be watching for updates. Now if they could just train a cat to do the same thing. Oh well, cats have attitudes and, if I had one, it would probably ignore my low, just to put me in my place. I'm sure your dog will do great. I think it's a good idea to use an animal that you already…

Way to go mommahix!!! You are so close. I'm already planning your "virtual" party!!!

SW: 194 CW: 141 AFCGW: 129 UGW: 120-125 Subject to change 1/13: 141 I've finally returned and am ready to get started. Very encouraging, looking at your numbers.

Hello old friends and welcome new friends! I'm finally home and ready to start this challenge. I'll enter my start weight and goals on Monday. I allowed myself 10 lbs. for the holidays and think I stayed within that range, but 59 hrs. on the train ahs caused a lot of swelling. Thanks Mule, I love the new spreadsheet and am…

Hi. I'm a T1, 43 yrs. I was 6 when I was diagnosed. I've seen a lot of changes in diabetes care in those long years. I first started on only a long acting insulin once a day, and Bg's every 2 weeks at the lab, with results being phoned to my mom a few days later. They'd call and say, "Terrie's blood sugar is high, bring…

Blank note cards (don't forget to include stamps so she can mail her cards), decorative edge scissors, tacky glue, glitter glue, decorative hole punches, scrapbooking paper in fun patterns (they come in books so the papers coordinate. The different knitting looms are popular now also. Go to your nearest craft/fabric store…

I would have said, "and I'm losing mine without the help of surgery."

People are ignorant and they say the dumbest things.

Yummy!!!!

Thanks for the memories. I remember the Diastix and the Clinitest. When I first used the Clinitest, I love the whole chemistry thing. A test tube, tablets and pee that turned colors, I was a young chemist in the making!!! Thank God for modern times!!!

When I was first diagnosed, home glucose monitoring wasn't even imaginable. I got my first meter from my grandma after her death. I don't remember what it was, but I do remember that large drop of blood. I'm with you on the new meter. I started using the Contour Next Link meter a few weeks ago and am still amazed. It has a…

Definitely interested. Thanks!!!

I just got the Medtronic MiniMed Revel with the option to upgrade to this newest pump. I'd love to have the CGM but my Aetna coverage doesn't cover the CGM. If I want them to cover it, I'll have to set myself up for some serious lows. I'm tempted. I'll have to ask my Dr. what she thinks. Glad you can afford it, but it sure…

You'll never regret not eating that piece of cake!!!

Crunches of various types, sit-ups, leg raises, plank.

I'm the odd duck, posting an Ab challenge along with some tricep work with 5 lb. weights. :laugh: Day 1: 15 sit-ups, 5 crunches, 5 leg raises, 10 sec. plank, 15 tricep kickbacks and extensions.

I'm Terrie, I turned 49 on the 6th and I've lost 54 lbs. so far. I don't have a goal wt. and plan to keep losing until I get to a size I like. After that, I will continue to work on my fitness level. After a lifetime of being a couch potato, the weight is changing faster than the flab. I'm currently doing a "burn 3500…
