Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try that tonight when I get home from work.

What do you use to clean the contacts?

Thanks for the replies. I'm probably just going to buy a new one from walmart.com. I can get for just over $50 with my work discount. I'll still use my current watch to keep track of the time I'm exercising till I get my new one.

I've worked at McDonald's before. I got $5 in free food for a short shift, and longer shifts I got $7 in free food. Of course at the time, I wasn't working on losing weight. If you are really concerned about it, then you could pack your own lunch to take with you and have a treat every once in awhile. My store didn't mind…

The last movie I saw in the theater was Divergent. I really enjoyed it. They did a really nice job of adapting the book to film. The last movie I saw on tv was Sparkle. It was interesting.

:drinker: Way to go! That can be hard to do!

I had some Chocolate Shop Chocolate Strawberry Wine. And water.

Feb. 1 - 0 miles Feb. 2 - 0 miles Feb. 3 - 4 miles - Lesley Sansone Walk at Home Feb. 4 - Feb. 5 - Feb. 6 - Feb. 7 - I like this format too. I'll keep it updated!

It really depends on the activity. I use a Polar FT4 now, and I burn fewer calories than MFP says for Zumba, but more calories than what MFP says for cleaning or walking. It really all depends on how fast you get your heart rate.

Breakfast: 1 light English muffin, 1 tablespoon JIF whipped peanut butter, 1 tablespoon reduced sugar grape jelly, and 1 cup 1% milk comes to 290 calories. It keeps me full for awhile. You could also do a 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon honey instead of the jelly to have it come out to 300 calories.

I have a George Foreman grill with removable plates and temperature control. I've never had an issue with how it cooks and use it often. You might have cooked the chicken too long.

You have certainly come a long way! Congratulations on your new healthier body and family! You all look great!

It sounds like you're overwhelmed. Do you like veggies and fruits? Try to incorporate more of those into your meals. When I first started using MFP, I was taking 90 units of Lantus before bed and 15 units of humalog before breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I started monitoring my blood sugars more carefully once I started…

Welcome to the group! Hope this group and site will be able to help you take control of your diabetes. I'll send you a friend request.

Hello. I will add you to my group of friends. I also have type 2 diabetes, and have greatly reduced the amount of insulin I need to take with using this website. I don't always eat the best stuff for diabetics, but I do try. My last A1C was 5.6. You should also check out the Type 2 diabetes support group. Carole

The last few nights have been really hard for me as well. I still have Christmas candy and goodies, and just want to eat all of them at night! I have over 2,000 calories left for the day from all the working out I've done, but I'm going to try not to eat a lot of junk. I might have a brownie. Haven't decided yet. I could…

Lovely photos!

You've been doing great and accomplished a lot! Keep up the hard work! You'll make it to your goal in no time!

You look amazing! Keep up the good work!

Wow! You've done amazing!

Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. I hope treatment is going well for you. I'll send you an invite to be friends. I'm on every day. I have Type 2 Diabetes, and decided that enough was enough and I needed to lose weight. My sister-in-law also gave me the push I needed when she had me join her for…

Any kind of Chex Mix Muddy Buddies. The Snickerdoodle Muddy Buddies are really good!

Congratulations on all the hard work you've done! You've come a long way, and I bet those new knees will help you even more! Getting off those medications is a great accomplishment!

I usually log mine under low impact aerobics or regular aerobics. It depends on if I use the strength training band. I love the dvds!

:bigsmile: They are so good!

I don't know if you've seen Ranma 1/2, but that's really funny. Case Closed is awesome. You should check out funimation.com.

I made it to One-derland! Haven't been under 200 pounds in years, and it feels great to be there! Everyone should be proud of what you've done today too!

Hello. I also have Type 2 Diabetes and take Metformin and I also take Lantus. I would like to be your friend here and help you out. What's worked for me is to exercise more and lose weight. I am mindful of what I eat and try to get more protein in my diet. It's good to have fat in your diet as well. You can also check out…
