Bumping because everybody looks spectacular! I have been maintaining at 200ish since I was 245 forever ago (seriously, like 5 years ago) and have decided since then that I'm sick of being 200 (baby steps!). I *think* my goal is 130-150 but I won't know until I get closer. For now, my goal is to lose enough weight that the…

Sorry but I have no advice :( I am going through the same thing with my SO and don't offer suggestions any more. She comments that I don't invite her to go to the gym with me, but now when I invite her (straightforward "Do you want to go to the gym?" no longer "Hey, I'm going to the gym..") she huffs and sighs and although…

You visit a variety of restaraunt sites for nutrition info, logging it into your diary to see what fits to determine where you go out to eat. When you're discussing what you're going to order, and you look at your S.O. and say "I wouldn't eat that if I were you..." I have found that most Ihop meals are either chalk full of…

I have heard of coconut milk, but after the water (thank goodness for freebies) I ran far, far, far away to the hills! I will have to look into it then, since I kind of miss milk (only use it when baking, rare, and for the occasional bowl of cereal).

The point I was trying to make and was having trouble finding the words for. Thank you!

When I visited Seattle last year, specifically Pike's Place, there was cardboard cut-outs from Doctor Who. Found the picture without me in it, win! :) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152798846935384&l=a9ce8f14e9

I'm sure I'm likely in the minority as a lesbian, but I met my wife on-line. However, the site was more a "hey we're all gay!" attitude and forum-heavy with a chat room as opposed to a site strictly for matching up with someone. With that said, a LOT of people are paired up on that site due to the site (as in, they weren't…

Because, I just had to.. :)

I have tried coconut water and found it repulsing. I have never had almond milk, but I have had soy milk and enjoy it. Is almond milk similar?

I tried the blackberries/banana/protein powder smoothie today. Ew, ew, ew! I settled for milk, a banana and a good chunk or two of honey peanut butter. It was very high in calories (631), carbs (61) and sugar (40!!!) so I won't be doing that again. Whitman's boxes of chocolate were buy one, get one free the other day.... I…

Wow congratulations!!! I was 9.1 in July and am currently at 7.8 so I am a little envious of you :)

What if we made a new group titled something along the lines of 'Diabetic Recipes', linked to it in a post here, and then made a thread for certain recipes where people could just post their recipes? Possible Thread Titles: Main Dish- Beef Main Dish- Poultry Main Disk- Pork Main Dish- Vegetarian Soups Low Carb (30 carbs or…

Hm... 1. I wish I could say that my grandma did a craft with me, or that I got to see her every Friday as a child vs. once every few years due to military moving us across the states. 2. Maybe your little one -wanted- to do the crafts, regardless of who with. My daugher gets so excited about doing craft stuff that whomever…

I have thought about trying a protein shake when I need something but don't want to cook. I mentioned previously I bought a protein powder but when stirred it didn't disolve enough - ick! Had two containers of blackberries I need to use up, so I think I will make a smoothie with the mix (it's vanilla flavored) and toss in…

My genre preference is somewhere in there and sometimes all over :) Playlist involves Korn, Slipknot, Lacuna Coil, Puddle of Mudd, Marilyn Manson, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Metallica, Rob Zombie, Stone Temple Pilots, Foo Fighters, Alkaline Trio, Hollywood Undead. Oddly enough, I like Norah Jones and Sarah McLachlan and…

Fasting was 96 last night, 2-hour was 107. I ate pretty crappy, so I am surprised the numbers were so good! Tomorrow will be better. I have two hours after my work shift ends before I have to go in for 4 hour training, and they feed us coffee and donuts - I will have to get some breakfast before then to resist :)

I hope you get your computer back soon! I have a Kindle Fire but hate to post on that as well due to the touch screen. I also have a secondary phone for "Internet on the go" (cheaper than adding a data plan to my current phone) and it is also a touch screen - Ick to texting on it!

I would prefer not to search for another doctor since they are both new to me, and are pretty awesome in all other aspects. I just have to keep asking! But then we get to talking about my blood panel and numbers and food and then someone has a story to share (my SO comes with me to check-ups) and then it all goes out the…

I have asked, and my answer was "Eat more whole grains, more protein and more fiber". I have had 6 check-up's with her and 3 with my primary (for my A1C) and each time I walk away still not being told what my Vit D levels are other than they've gone up.

When I got to work at 11 p.m. last night I took my two hour post-food BS, it was 125 :) Snacked on .25c cocoa almonds and half a homemade banana muffin. Around 2 a.m. I ate two servings of Life Cinnamon cereal with fat-free milk. Shoveled ankle deep snow for 20 minutes before work shift ended. Went to Ihop and had two…

I think I saw this somewhere recently (the protein converting to glucose). I will play with my macros and see what they look like at those percentages. Thank you :)

I didn't go to bed until almost 7 a.m., woke up at 10 and was sick, went back to bed until 5 p.m. So, I slept through breakfast and lunch. Fasting BS was 105, before meds. Took meds and made dinner shortly after - ground hamburger with mushrooms and onions and mozzarella cheese, and baby romaine salad with a little bit of…

I am curious, for those of you who are diabetic and log food, what do you set your carb macro to? I have toyed with lowering mine below the ADA recommend 180g, but I am really not sure. When I started going to my diabetic educator she told me I didn't have to count carbs anymore or log my food, I just had to eat better.…

I won't lie, I am finding it really hard to not step on the scale :) But I have been yo-yoing with good food/bad food lately and have slacked on working out, so I'd probably just be discouraged if I stepped on!

Congrats on your A1C! I am currently at 7.8 and my doctor wants me below 7 by mid-March. This seems like a daunting task to me but I am trying. My fasting today was 111. I just finished logging my food and had around 100 carbs, but only has 12 sugars out of 25. I find that an accomplishment. I use to weigh myself daily but…

I sent it to you :)

I've heard of eating to your meter but no one ever explained what it was - thank you for that! I have also gone ahead and eliminated the majority of grains from my diet, although I have the occasional english muffin with peanut butter two or three times a month. I used to be big on toast - 4 slices every morning - I miss…

I'm a type 2, insulin-resistant diabetic. My slip-up's result in 200s. I have been eating crappy the last few days and have hit 258 two hours post-meal. It happens. Just got to move on. Exercise helps a lot too to lower, and water, so go out and be active after that. After three weeks of being busy and not going to the…

My step-daughter just turned ten years old, is 4'3" and her last doctor weigh-in was 100 pounds. Her biological family has a history of obesity though (her grandmother and aunt live with her and her other mother and they are all severely overweight). She also likes fruits and veggies and when we go out she drinks water…
