Do cycling, its good for knees, helps the patella "track" better

Hate it. Usually means someone cant be bothered to remember your REAL name

Welcome :) This group is very friendly, they'll all be along to say Hi !

I only test once a day, first thing in the morning. I have only got under 100 twice :( I talked to my Dr and she said, that it was fine, but as I want perfection (I'm like that) to try a late snack or exercise. I know when its high without testing by the way my head feels..

I don't have the link, but basically around 4 - 4.30 am, your body dumps glucose into your bloodstream to wake you up and get you ready for the day. My Dr told me that going 12 hours is not a good thing. Some people find a small snack of protein (celery with PB, sliceof turkey/chicken/ham) before bed works, others find…

babybel cheese ftw

You've seen all the good advice posted here, now use it. Do it YOUR way, log everything, exercise, and as many people have posted, the weight didn't suddenly appear, it happened over time, so will weight loss. My Dr never told me what to eat/do, but after I found MFP and lost the first 20, she was as happy as me, dancing…

Donuts = bad Fruit = good Its all what the snack is, tell a diabetic they cant have their snacks, they'll either be very grumpy, or fade away

I think maybe the MFP forums are a little different, in regards to a lot of people have insecurities (weight, looks), and sometimes they reflect their negativity at other posters. Its very easy to be the "forum bully" when you are anonymous on a website. As someone else said, there are a lot of hungry people here, hungry…

Eat like a diabetic, snack every few hours. Quaker 25% less sugar, adkins snack bars, babybell cheeses - all things I use to snack on the go.

I don't worry about my protein, but then again, I'm struggling to eat up to my calories every day (never hungry) I was always told make sure you was your hands well before you stab your fingers because of the protein that can be on your fingers, which would give a false reading (Mums a nurse)

Well actually... it was usually a bar after work :p or a greek diner in Maspeth, Queens. I was NYC*EMS back before it was all FDNY, we went thru the academy, an hour of PT / calisthenics before classes every day. All good training for 10 flights of stairs, no elavator working and 500 pound patients..

Have the Dr check your levels, B and D specifically Low D can account for extreme tiredness, and thinking you get enough sun, doesn't cut it, I am outside in short sleeved T shirts all day, and mine was really low.

Instead of potatoes, I mash cauliflower, with a wedge or two, yumm

130 ish, it'll be how I feel..

YES! I just bought new sneakers, a size smaller!

I had left knee surgery on July 1st, 2011, took a long weekend off work, and went back right away.(torn meniscii, bone spurs, arthritus) For normal everyday work, at a reasonable weight, that would be fine, but as usual, nothing normal... Hard work, on my knees (owiesss!) and being around um (2 years ago so..) about…

You can do this, look at all the people that have faith in you! 2 old sayings come to mind - With friends like that, who needs enemies, and.. keep your friends close, you enemies closer. You know they are just jealous, right? That you have all the willpower, and they don't? Do it for YOU Amber, you have all the support on…

It used to be, bacon and fried tomatoes with more salt! (I have a low BP problem so salts never an issue)

While she's sitting watching TV have her "exercise" her toes. Bare feet (easiest to start) pick up pencils not between her toes, um.. along her toes, aghh I know what I mean, how to explain.. place pencil above toes on floor, place toes over pencil lengthwise, and try to pick it up, once you manage it pull foot up high as…

As I am sure others will tell you - this isn't a diet. This is a way of life. You have to WANT to do this, and be ready to give it your all. Exercise is great, but not totally necessary. Eating healthy is what will save your husbands life, think of that as motivation. If you eat the same as him, and you make sure his menu…

Just keep doing what you did, don't give up. (thats what I'm doing)

Just as well they didnt paint in the gout and ulcers he had :)

Be a good friend, Drop an anonymous note with this website addy on his desk :)

Just do what you are doing. Have you checked your measurements? I'm just starting week 3 with no loss, I KNOW I'm eating right, its just not going anywhere. I'm not discouraged, I changed my settings to up my calorie intake to 1700 from 1200, I wont know unless I try, right? If I go up next week, I'll know I need to eat…

Dear 16 year old me - Believe in yourself, you do look amazing! You deserve the hot guy on vacation, hold onto him, he's a keeper. If you don't do that, finish college, do all the things you love in life, but try doing them a little bit more sober sometimes. Don't eat all the junk food, and "cleaning your plate" is NOT…

neat idea.. wish I was still in the UK
