It was the first thing I noticed..

Jayne, you've already lost a lot, rumour has it it slows down.. But you posted as I posted so... I'm thinking you need more?

very brave to post here - kudos :) Why wait till Monday? its the weekend, your wifes with you, start now, shes sounds wonderfully supportive. But - (theres always a but..) YOU have to want this, YOU have to want to change, because if you dont, anything she helps you with is going to feel like a veiled criticism.

Do it one day at a time. There is no other way, and one day, you'll wake up, and it won't hurt. I got thru mine, then helped my friend, we did daft things like um.. while resting on display tables out the front of the store, watching them pour the new foundations for a store next door, and imagining how we could "pad" the…

Hate the gym.. just saying :p Do all my exercise at home

Geman Shepherd. I try not to walk her too long at night because she takes soooo long, its like she has to inspect every blade of grass. So I wouldnt call it a walk, I'd call it a slow dawdle..

mines easy to color code, dark blue, med blue, light blue, blue, blue and blue :)

If you can do it everyday, more power to you! I remember thinking "I'm gonna die" and "I didn't know I had muscles here, or there, or that they'd hurt so much!" Do it at your pace, do what you can manage

Just a few moments make me think Bob and Dolvett arent kittycats either. I'd take Jillian, I need the tough love. Besides, didn't really hurt Danni did it?

Dec 22, 2012 when my Doctor told me I was Diabetic (I was also 271) I tried to rationalize it, with "I had a kidney stone or two and I drank gallons of juice" but in my heart, I knew this was it, Do or Die. So here I am, as of January 2013 - feeling much better, but with a long ways to go yet.

Eww, just.. ewww

How much sugar? Most things in moderation, and I'd prefer sugar over sweetners, but thats just me

spoonful of PB on celery,um, slice of chicken.. that kinda thing. BUT since I stopped the late night snacks, the morning FBG has dropped down to 105 and no more blinding headaches (except the stress induced - thanks son!)

I have Phoenix, a beautiful German Shepherd, who thinks she's a lap dog... Before her, we had Wildfire, also a german Shepherd, who I lost at 13 years (way too soon) to Degenerative Mylopathy :(

sweer potatoes - potatoes ar'nt supposed to be sweet... they are supposed to come with salt and vinegar.. omg Im making myself hungry :(

You are doing awesome! I am sorry that she didn't trust you, I guess she thought if you were large, no one would look at you, and you wouldn't go anywhere. You will get over this, believe me - you will be happy again, Don't give up on yourself.

Hi, Welcome :)

You have lost a lot of weight, should be ready to be off meds by now? :)

Welcome - its a one day at a time fight and a lifestyle change. When my Dr told me in December that I was diabetic, I said "Oh no, I'm not going to be!" YOU have to really want it, you have to be at that point where you are determined to change, no matter what. Change the settings to show your carbs and sugar intake

I knew You dont go from years of tightie whities to silk boxers suddenly for no reason and.. suddenly wearing PJ's and a silk robe?

That sounds like the first couple of days doing JM 30DS

Instead of losing weight, specifically, just eat healthy. All the good stuff, no soda, cut sugar, and not only will you be in a great place onece he/she is born to lose any extra, but your baby will have a great start in life!

Chicken Tiki Marsala .. YUMMM

nice warm green tea..

Don't push it, knee damage is almost irreparable. I would love to be able to do those things, but I'd end up in one of those commercials "Help! I've fallen and I cant get up!"

You are here, on mfp, which shows you care how you look, and you are committed to making yourself better. Give the same respect to your heart. I dont give a .. how drunk they were, where were you that they managed to be drunk and alone, near to your bed?? I'm sorry, thats like the ultimate betrayal, YOUR friend, in YOUR…

LOL, this is what ALL mothers say, trust me! Just as you start to understand them, they turn into mumbling teenagers who have a language of their own..

Its also the weight loss :)

I have been "dieting" forever, one thing or another. Since I got married I gained approx 10 a year, and I didn;t like it. So Dr's visit in December 2012, where I hit 271, and was told I was diabetic, just did it, that was the kick in the *kitten* I needed. I am NOT going to be 271, ever, and I may still be diabetic, but it…

Some days I barely make 1000, let alone 1200, And before I see that again, eating is NOT what got me here, eating too little, and the wrong choices is what got me here. I am 5'2, 55 years young, sometimes I eat back my calories, sometimes I dont, but at the end of the week, I have usually dropped 2 pounds. It works for me…
