Congratulations, you're a true inspiration for all of us :-)

You look fantastic, a true inspiration :-)

Good luck to you. Everyone on here is supportive and full of tips and advice :-)

I try to eat only 1200 cals a day and like most of the others I eat lots of veg, lean protein and bulk out my meals with pulses and seeds, which do make a difference and keep me fuller for longer. I also exercise nearly everyday, either Zumba or aerobics for an hour a day but obviously not everyone can fit this in so I…

I go to a nutritionist fairly often because I'm diabetic and she is rally useful for weight loss guidance. She told me to eat back the calories, especially if I'm following a low calorie diet anyway but to make sure you eat it back in things like pulses, fruit, veg ie all the good things I should be eating anyway. Hope…

Hi everyone, I'm type 1 diabetic and was diagnosed at 21 (I'm 24 next month). I've found it difficult to lose weight through dieting alone, which previously used to work well for me before I was diagnosed. I've always loved exercise but let it slip when I was at university. I've joined MFP as I find it so useful to log all…

I have treats on a Sunday, usually when I'm watching a movie in the afternoon as I find that if I want a cheat meal, I'll just overdo the pasta and bread basket! I've found though that if I just eat a little bit of something, then it satisfies my cravings for the treat. The only thing I really try to avoid is refined sugar…

That's what's been bugging me as well because all the other categories are in the green and sugar is a red! I just track total carbs instead

Thanks so much for all your help. I'll definitely be trying some of those :-)

Hi Minibee! I was diagnosed as diabetic (type 1) just over 2yrs ago now. I lost a lot of weight (about 2 stone) and thought it was because it was hot and I working overtime as a waitress. I've always drank a lot of water but I had an unquenchable thirst, drinking at least 5 litres of water a day. I had a regular appetite…

Hi I'm new too! I want to get fitter and healthier to try and control my diabetes better. My goal is to lose 30lbs by summer so I'm going in full steam ahead. Feel free to add me x

Hi sindy, I've started today and also find it really strange to log everything. Still, it's good to see what I'm actually eating as it will help me cut down on fats etc. good luck to you and wish you well :-)

Hi, I've joined today too! Finally decided that today is the day to get rid of that extra bit of Christmas weight! Wishing you all well and lots of success :-)
