Yes I have been eating low fat and non fat products so Thats an easy thing to change. I always avoided nuts too but I can add some easily since I love them. I was always told they were too rich

I know its better to just lose two pounds a month. I'm just over zealous on that part. I'm having problems hitting my calorie goals and then in the evenings I try to eat more to catch. That's my biggest problem I don't eat enough which didnt ever make sense before. Of course what I did eat was never that healthy

I'm in. Trying to get ready for a 5k in june

Thank you all so much. The walkthon is 5K. I have decided to go for it. I'm a little nervous but I'm going to trust my instinct an go o it. I'm sitting here crying. I can't begin to tell you what your support has done for me. Thank you so much

I've always heard that sleep can affect your weight. Having just gone through diabetic training they said that it will make your liver do more work because it thinks its starving itself so it produces sugar.

Hello and thank you for the welcome. I have tried to start adding fruits and vegetables and cut back on calories. Well we started with carbs since we went to his training. My husband has joined me in what we eat. He works most days so he says that is where he gets his exercise and won't join me there. I'm going to stay…

I did try to get my husband to join but he's not very computer literate and looked at me like I was insane. He's been doing great though. He lost 44 lb in two months... I don't get why men can do that and we can't. I already took myself off pop and don't really miss it. I found out that it was making me cough. But sweet…

That sounds good. I'm going to check into that.

Thats a great way to look at things. I will try that.

It's funny how easy you can accept that its just in your genes. At least it was for me. I don't want to be obese for the rest of my life. I started walking already and I'm trying to eat what is needed as the machine told me yesterday that I wasn't. Odd that not eating was an issue for me. Nice to meet you.

Hi congratulations on your weight loss so far. You know I hadn't thought about that but I could start on my upper body. My husband is doing well now. I should have included that part. Good luck to you. Looking forward to getting to know you.

Hi. Smiles I'm glad that you have had some success. Yes tomorrow is a new day so put today behind you and go forward. Best wishes! i added you.

Sunny, I definitely understand how you feel. I'm glad to hear that you found a good doctor and educator for your husband's diabetes. It should make a major difference. My husband is doing better. He just lost his weight like it was nothing. Why can men do that? That's a huge motivator not to want to become a diabetic and…

Hi there. Nice to meet you. The logging of the food has been interesting. It told me I didn't eat enough. I about fell off my chair when i saw that. I've been walking but I walk really slow since my knees don't like to cooperate but they will when I get that weight off them. :)

Yes, he's doing lots better and I'm in a new mindframe to deal with getting me there too. I added you as a friend! Looking forward to getting to know you.
