Bike. Bike, bike, bike! I have used every excuse under the sun not to haul my *kitten* out on my bike and ride the trails. No excuses - I am jumping on that bike and going at least 100 miles.

There is a lot to learn about this way of eating. For some reason my BS has gone up about 10 points every morning (from 100s to 110s) no other changes except I have been traveling. I am still losing so pushing my "I believe button" and pressing on. Sometimes our bodies are strange!

I can look down and read my weight on the scale. I use to have to get off to see it. My pants are a smaller size and my shirts are fitting much better, some are even too big. I am learning patience.

Wow. I thought I was the only one with wacky weight readings. Mine will drop 2 or 3 pounds and then go back up and slowly go back down again. I weight every day, but don't right down a weight in MFP until I know it is a real loss and not a fluctuation.

It took more than a month for me, but I had a heck of a time getting my carbs low enough. Still have a learning curve on that. Totally bummed that lettuce has carbs.

I take lantus also and am doing keto using under 50 grams of carbs. I have over 100 pounds to lose also. It has been about 2 1/2months for me and I have lost about 25 pounds also. I have been slowly reducing my need for insulin and went from 70 units to 30 units of lantus as I have lost weight and become more in tune with…

If you come up with a cake, share! I wouldn't mind a cake recipe that didn't break the carb bank.

I understand about the drops feeling uncomfortable. It took me a while to get past the diabetes educators who said you only had those feelings when you were actually low. No, you get them when there is a big difference even if it isn't technically low. I have been doing low carb (trying for 50, succeeding about 60) for the…

Not sure if this will help anyone, but I have found that I don't have problems with the generic metformin if I take it with milk. If I take it with anything else I get the stomach upset. I take 2000mg extended release in the evening.

WOW.I just joined and was seeing the weight loss slow down and body mass shift. Whew! I thought I was doing it all wrong!

I am doing kept under a dr's supervision. Would love to know how everyone gets enough fat in their diet without eating spoonfuls of butter!

I have dropped the amount of insulin I have to take by 8 units over the last month and a half. It is the first time since I was diagnosed with diabetes that I have gone DOWN rather than up in dosage.

Hi - My name is JoAnn and I was 356 in October. Started working on my own and got down to 345 when I saw a weight loss doctor about a week ago and am following a really low carb diet. Down to 341 and praying to get down to 250 at least. I have high blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure. The really wonderful thing is…

I had a similar one this morning, but mine is in a tortilla and the 2 eggs are just barely holding together the all the onion, bell pepper, mushroom and spinach. I cook the veggies first in the frying pan ( the spinach wilts quickly so throw it in just before the eggs) add a little salsa or avocado, if your feeling frisky…

looks good!

I use straight salsa on salad greens particularly if I don't have any tomatoes, but am going to try the sour cream - yogurt version mentioned. I'm going to have to try hummus too. I also mix dry packets of zesty ranch (or any other kind you like) with yogurt or low fat sour cream and love love love it for dips and…

I lost 65 pounds and went from a band size 56 to a band size 44. I suspect I had been wearing the wrong size for quite a while as I just added tot he band size whenever I gained weight and did not add to the cup size. Bras never fit well. I went the opposite on cup size from a C to a DDD. No, the ladies did not grow, they…

I have seen the use before and didn't know how much it was. What is "a Scoop" of protein powder? 1/4 cup, 3 oz, can someone give me a measurement amount?

yum looks good

Ohhhhhhh...I have been looking for something to change up the tuna salad. Great idea - Thanks!

I hate shakes, I love scones. I am naming my next 10 pound loss after you!

MEGA STUFFED OREOS. MEGA STUFFED OREOS. MEGA ^&)^&#)_#%^*#$%^ STUFFED OREOS. ::falls to knees:: No no no - that is just WRONG. ::Looks for a way to unring the bell::

Fabulous!

Oh Good Lord. I have also lost an elephant penis. This is fabulous!

Maybe you could try putting a note on the frig so when you wake up at 2AM you see the note before the food. Also I put what I want/should eat on the middle shelf, which is the first thing I see when I open the door. Try putting veggies, or an apple or something that will be filling right at the spot in the frig that you…

For those of you that don't like the texture (and I'm with ya), you can put it in a blender and it comes out creamy.
