Dippydog

Merrillfoster, I, too, am a diabetic. I have type 1 and have been insulin dependent for almost 25 yrs. I, too, have hypothyroidism and my doctor is now talking about removing my thyroid altogether. I totally understand where you are coming from. I have been officially 'dieting' since 1/1/11. I have lost 8 pounds in that…

I love that!!

I love Goofy. Everything Goofy. But...Goofy was taken when I signed up with pogo.com. So I went with Goofy's original name Dippy Dog. Now it is my sign on for everything. Except I spelled it wrong the first time I used it. It should have been Dippy Dawg....but I like Dippy Dog anyway. I know what it means. :bigsmile:

Thank you soooo much. I thought it was a 'virtual' fist bumpt, too. I love MFP!!

The biggest thing I have learned so are is that I had no idea what a portion size was. I was shocked!! Measure everything is my suggestion, although I am going to try the cinnamon thing too.

You want to eat at least 1200 calories per day is what I have been told, but you should ask your trainer.

I will be your friend. This site is amazing. I never thought I could do this, but the support here is uncomparable. I also love that I can use my iphone to track my stuff when I am away from the computer. That helps. Good Luck!! Debra:flowerforyou:
