Wow Fyreside - don't think Duck Tape is going to fix that, whoa. Let us know how you resolve that - I'm curious! rh0322 -- Spin bike - wow - that is tough. Love the home gym pics. Here are mine. I mostly work out in my room so I hope there is no embarssing easter eggs in the photos. No guarantees in life though hu? haha. I…

Apple and nut butters -- WIN. <3 <3 <3 I usually put all my food in for the day in the morning, change it up as I need to, just to kinda have a ballpark idea of what I'm eating for the day. Unless I got dropped onto 'Starvation Island' though, I'm wondering if it is even possible for me to lose weight. I feel boxed in by…

Sounds like great goals! I have a fitbit and just dug it out and started using it again the other day. If you want to add me I think my username is 7hunters. I'm not too adept at using it yet though... ;-P Coffee is a tough one! I haven't beaten that beast yet in life at all.

Oooh - that sounds nice! I hope it turns out! :D

Oh yeah! I talked to my eye doc about that last visit - very important. He said he discovers about one diabetic person per week who didn't know they had blood sugar issues at all. My eyes were 'decent', but I have really bad vision. ;-P

This is a really inspiring group - look forward to getting to know everyone. I already feel more motivated!

I drink Stash brand Licorice Spice caffeine free herbal tea. It is sweet but no sugar. There is also some Stevia drops in vanilla called "Sweet Leaf" it comes in an eye dropper. That is pretty handy because Stevia can be so bitter but the vanilla helps. My go-to is herbal teas, there are some good ones. I love sweets - not…

I've done something similar. Wow! I am also nerdy ;-P, science / IT nerd and art nerd (as well as all the Sci-Fi and Fantasy goodness). My initial project is three weeks in scope. I use Google Calendar to e-mail me daily with a link to my two docs (one focused on my exercise goals, the other dietary). I post in daily to…

My Dad was on Metformin, he said, "NOT FUN." He had a lot of side effects and stopped taking it. He ended up in the hospital for his diabetes after ignoring it for so long. He's on Glipzlide (spelling???) and that has helped him eat less, lose weight and control his blood sugar. He's doing pretty well now, but he's also on…

Yup!

When I get that way it's an electrolyte issue and Zico coconut water or Gatoraide helps. That sounds very worrying.

My belly and ab fat have been getting a lot worse lately myself. For me the cause is cortisol. When I do workout - I totally over do it, I totally stress my body out beyond all reason (don't really mean to, I just get going and seem not to stop properly before I've gone off and over done it) and it raises my cortisol…

Cut salt a bit and you'll drop water weight, if you ate something super salty, lunch meat, hot dog, chips, or whatever that has a lot of sodium in it you'll pack on water. It's good for a 3lb gain for me. Is that a normal workout sequence for you, 1.5 hours?, or are you just getting started? If getting started I would…

I was in the challenge before - hope I'll get in again, it was a lot of fun! :-) I'm signing up late though :D

Sometimes I read a post that makes me want to make friends with the person and show up, go for walks and trade jokes. Wishing you the best on your journey - you can do this, for you. You're worthwhile at any weight. ((Hugs))

How is everyone this week? Almost friday! Woot!! I'm feeling better and really cooped up. I think next week if the pain is down I'll go for some baby tiny runs or walks or something...gotta get out.

Awesome!! :) !! Good work @fang19423 !!!

I really like this app and use it everyday - one of the great parts is once you dig into it and learn the poses you can create your own Yoga workout + use your own music! http://yogastudioapp.com My other go-to is the Zombies, Run! App game for running. I'm kinda obsessed with that one....

Some foods -- I'm not even done eating the meal before my G.I starts to gurgle in an alarming manner, but some like apples might take a few hours. @lporter229 -- those are my go-to veggies also!

Occasionally they make bacon maple scones at the coffee shop - they're quite nice. A large hot mug of fresh roasted coffee and a scone while enjoying the coffee shop is my favorite thing and sometimes I just go set there by myself and take it all in or sketch.

Greetings - I'm a little out of pocket right now because I've had a flare up of my G.I. Dissorder. I have two kids too a boy and girl - little older than yours. I stay at home also and am working on an art career - but slowly - I really need to dig in and do a whole lot more than what I do now. My G.I. Issues make me very…

I'm so addicted to sugar, embarassingly so. I can lose control around it before I even realize. In the past my acheivments include eating an entire box of 100 calorie snacks, having two large Mc Frappe's for breakfast, not being able to wait to get home from the grocery store to eat my sweet treats and other bad behaviors.…

It took me a year of being off prescription meds to get back to normal and a proper weight. It was a very slow gradual change and I kept working at getting back to my old self with just basic care. I went from 2XL to a size Medium. I still have some more to lose but I feel a lot better. *Cheers!*

I'm in! :)

Hi everyone, I've been a bit out of pocket. I ran a Half Marathon on Mother's Day, my first. Maybe I posted that here....? I slept since then. ;-P I train at sea level and didn't realize there was hills and elevation out East. I did okay though, 2:26, it's not great, but better then I thought I would do ;-P I didn't get…

@KAR1959, Kathy - How are you liking the trainer? Are you really sore? We just have one trainer where I go and he snarls a lot and sticks with other big dudes In the heavy lift room and is always going, "yeeeah man, that's mind body connection, mind body connection." ;-P lol, he just says that all the time, sometimes just…

Hey everyone - how is Wednesday going? How is King Tut doing? I hope your foot feels better @claram5415 -- ouch. It's really pretty here in Oregon on the trails but the mosquitoes are thick still. This time of year though thousands of swallows and martins migrate in and put the hurt on them. SHINE ON!
