Hi! I am also a type 1 diabetic! I have found it’s really helping with carb counting!

Thanks! This looks great! I never thought of smoothies with protein powder!

Hello! Mom of 2 boys, 3 and 1.5. I have about 70lbs to lose.

Hi, I am Shannon a new mom to a 16 week old boy! I would like to lose about 40lbs total and have about 12lbs of baby weight to lose to get back to my prepregnancy weight! I am looking for some mom friends so feel free to add me!

If I am craving sweet I have one piece of dark no sugar added chocolate! Since becoming diabetic almost 6 months ago and never eating sweet food I find even this one tiny piece of chocolate almost to sweet! Have you considered exercise to help with stress? I find a walk at lunch time wayy better then when I used to eat my…

That is amazing results! Way to go! Keep up the excellent work!! I don't have any lows even when I was on insulin I never seen a sugar below 4.4 and I definitely do not eat low carb! I fit every allowed carb into my diet every day haha Since I am only 28 I am trying to keep my sugars as close to a non-diabetic as possible…

Hi! I am a Canadian currently living in China! I will be 30 next year and hope to be in the best shape of my life! I was diagnosed with diabetes and a thyroid condition a few months ago so I find my motivation in that! I have about 50lbs left to lose and am trying to make it to 180 by August when we move back to Canada!

That is a great improvement!! You will keep lowering yours! Keep doing what you are doing because you are doing awesome! I follow very strict meal plans, basically never cheat and exercise everyday (plus walk to and from work.) My sugars were also probably lowered faster then most people's because I was inpatient on IV…

Thanks! The Dr actually told me this A1C is to low? But from all my research its on the high end of a normal person? I am not on any meds/insulin so I am not getting this number from to many lows? I wish drs would explain what they mean when they say to low!

Thanks! I have been struggling to accept my diabetes but these test results show me I can get my numbers into the normal level without oral meds or insulin and the next one in 3 months will show I can keep them there!

WTG! On your first 11lbs :) You can get off the insulin! Just keep going and never get discouraged!

I am at 197 and also have a current goal of 180 (to hopefully be reached by August!) My ultimate goal is 150ish!

Just got my fitbit charge HR a few days ago! Totally not sure what you do with the user profile but I can always use and give motivation! https://www.fitbit.com/user/27VR64

Way to go on losing 75lbs and getting off meds! Thats amazing! I only took oral meds for a few days before I was admitted for DKA but was able to stop insulin about 2 months after being discharged!

I will be diabetic forever, I am just a diabetic with very good control! I don't really understand the numbers either except that they were bad before and good now haha

Welcome krysty! It is great for staying motivated! Did you end up getting all 3 done in one day ashmarie? Just don't over do it and hurt yourself! Vacation has been good! I only cheated twice (and very minor cheats a few French fries one day and shared nachos tonight) but the rest have been healthy foods :) I also made it…

My week has been good! Exercised everyday but yesterday! Got busy then had dinner with friends and got home to late to do a cardio workout :( but I still walked to and from work! I stopped my insulin injections this week and my blood sugars are absolutely perfect! This to me is wayyyy better then any number on a scale!!…

It's Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults so there's an autoimmune factor usually the GAD antibody. It slowly kills the cells, you can have pancreas function for months to years after diagnosis but from my understanding you eventually become dependant on insulin. It also usually has some insulin resistance from what I…

4.9mmol/L (88mg/dl) First morning off insulin!

Hi! I am looking to lose 40lbs by July/August! I am not in the San Diego area but feel free to add me!

Did you make it to spinning? I am soooo jealous you are spinning!! I love having a trainer it sure helps with motivation! I did my workout tonight and walked home from the gym! Does anyone else find the weigh less at night then in the morning? Or am I just really weird? haha We could do a fruit and veggie challenge but…

Hi! I was diagnosed with diabetes about 3 months ago (at 28) with an A1C of 8.1% :( They "think" it's LADA (type 1.5) I was on metformin 500mg BID for 4 days then it was confirmed I was in DKA (Don't ever go into DKA! Lol) spent 5 days inpatient and was discharged on lantus and novo rapid. Since then I have stopped the…

Don't worry about not seeing a loss! It happens! My week was like that too! It's soooo frustrating though! Glad to hear your sessions are going well! I am getting ready for vacation next week! My goal is to not gain any weight while away! I love spinning! I used to do it all the time until I moved to China now I can't find…

How did your session go with your trainer? It's okay to take a day off! Especially before getting your butt kicked by a trainer! I have been logging and did cardio last night! Took today off though! Did lots of walking but that's because it's my form of transportation! I don't know if it's the weather or the terrible air…

Wtg logging and staying under! 13 push ups in a minute is pretty darn good!! How's the C25K going? I have logged and been under everyday so far woot! Worked out with my trainer yesterday and walked to and from the gym! I am frustrated though... My husband who only eats my healthy dinner then eats crap the other meals and…

Way to go on the push ups!! Its good to repeat a week then push yourself to hard and end up injured! I logged today and got 45 minutes of cardio in! Going back to the nutrionist on Monday to see if I am missing something in my diet and that's why I am constantly hungry! Just out of curiosity how many calories does everyone…

Logged everything yesterday! I could not get full yesterday! All I wanted was to eat allllll day! Weighed this morning and at 212.1!

Sounds like a great challenge! I just logged my breakfast!! My calorie intake is pretty high between 1700-1800 so I barely ever go over but this is what my nutritionist set me at! Today I am working out with my trainer but my workout goal is to get 4 days of addition cardio in! New week new month lets kick butt!

I am kind of lucky in a way... I ended up seriously ill in November which included a 5 day hospital stay so now I am on a pretty strict diet (thats slowly loosening up) but most of my friends are aware so when I go over they have veggies and fruits for me while the rest of them eat chips and snack food! You could maybe…

Finished my Sunday workout 45 minutes of incline walking! How did everyone's week go?
