I'm 5'2" and weigh 228. OMG did I just admit that?!?!?! I eat about 1450 -1500 calories per day, and earn about 300 from walking, which I don't eat. I understand "starvation mode" but can't wrap my head around it. If I'm eating that little, and walking, shouldn't I be losing?

I use Target brand sometimes, and Pure Protein. I LOVE my morning shake: 1 scoop protein powder, frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries, milk, frozen fresh spinach leaves, and flax seed. MMMmmmmmmm.

Hi, I'm newly diagnosed and have been on Metformin for 5 days, 1x per day. I will be increasing to 2x per day this Wednesday. I take it with a meal, and eat 6 small meals a day.

Hello! I'm not a fan of Valentine's Day because I think it guilts men into buying all manner of junk. When we married, my husband and I started a tradition: he'd clean out my car, and I'd make him a lasagna. This year our "gift" is a newer car. I like the idea of doing something together outdoors - great plan!

Hi there, I'm new too! You can friend me. I also need to lose about 50lbs. I lost 20lbs last spring on Weight Watchers so I know I can do it. I just couldn't justify the cost of the program! So last summer I quit, and promptly gained the entire 20lbs back. So depressing. I really need to get healthy!
