  • Yup, that took me a couple days to figure out too. Kind of weird how they set up the exercise stuff. It's all good as long as you're doing it, right?

  • Hi all, my weight this morning is 186.5, down 1 pound from last week. It's better than gaining I guess.

  • I agree with the others, don't give up ever. Like you said, you diabetes are under control better than ever. That's a great thing by itself. Sounds like you're doing everything right. You may explain this to your doctor and see what he/she says. Maybe it's a chemical thing? I'm not knowledgable about hormones and glands…

  • Not to push you into drinking a bunch of booze, but if you like wine, a red is about half the calories or less of a regular beer. Also most liquors are way lower calories than beer in a single drink or about an once. I always order rum and diet Coke as the Coke part is zero calories. As for the ice cream, I agree with the…

  • This place is a blast, just keep counting and coming back and talking. Before you know it, you'll be eating better than you ever have, you'll weigh 125 lbs, and you'll have a whole bunch of new friends.

  • Hi all, it's been a long time since I started this board. Pretty good response too. I've added you all as friends and I hope you're still hanging around MFP. Mike started a blog group you may want to join as well. Kind of a "Biggest Loser" challenge. It will be fun. It's the start of week 2, I was a little late jumping in…

  • Also, make sure you drink your 8 - 8oz glasses of water or 3 of those 32oz water bottles per day. If you don't, you body has a hard time getting rid of the fat you burn. If I miss my water for even a couple days, my weight goes up in pounds!

  • I really like to and need to pig out one meal a week to make it feel like I'm not punishing myself for trying to get fit. It usually ends up being greasy cheesy pizza, or steak and a baked potatoe with butter and sour cream. Then, back to the diet and treadmill and bicycle. It fine for you, and good for your head too.
    in Who has tried the EODD? Comment by pjansen January 2010
  • I feel really bad when I get up to about 9500 - 10,000 feet. I've tried going through Camaron a few times and it feels like I'm gonna die when I get there. Even just driving the car. I think I just need to head up there more often and get my body used to it. I can't get to Steamboat without going through Camaron and Rabbit…

  • My SIGMA P14 from Performance Bicycles works fine. I've heard complaints about them, but I've never had a problem and it's about half the price of a Polar at $49.

  • Gotta watch the salt though. A lot of low fat stuff is either loaded with salt or needs it bad.

  • Super pretzel soft pretzel with yellow mustard! YUM! I'd vote for hummus too. Lots of great flavors at your local healthy grocer like Whole Foods.

  • Awesome job! You've lost more than half of what I weigh! Amazing. I thank God every morning when I open my eyes and I'm home with my family. Just to have one more day to do stuff is an amazing gift. I'm sure it's great on the other side too, but I'm way to young to find out right now. I'm just going to keep plugging away…

  • Hey Mike, sorry it took so long to get back to you, just busy these days. You've made the right choice for you and your family. Do it for YOU first, then them. Other people may tell you different, but I've tried it and it just doesn't work as well. I love my family more than anything, but it won't work if you say you're…

  • when you figure out how many beers you can drink at a weekend BBQ by calories. And if you drink light yucky beer, you can have more!
    in You know you have changed.... Comment by pjansen January 2010
  • The only way to keep it low is don't eat anything from a can with salt added, no soups, no processes frozen meals. Fresh meats, veggies, rice, pasta, etc. Processed foods are insane with salt so it tastes good and is preserved. It's a stuggle, but your heart and weight will love you for it. :huh:
