Interesting video, but I am not happy with the man's choice of words; that we choose to be diabetic t2 through our lifestyle choices. In my opinion, we are getting bad advice from doctors and gov who tell us that carbs are essential to our diet and that is our downfall. I never even heard of keto until I found out I am…

Diagnosed with diabetes in Feb. Found Keto is the best diet for diabetics. Been on it since March 1. Great results so far! Looking for fellow keto-ers to bounce meal ideas off of.

Yes, I am going through this as well. Everyone needs to be taken care of except you. I have had to sacrifice a little of sleep and get up at 4:30am to run, or when I take the kids to the park I run around the parking lot. Or run around the back yard a few minutes while the meatloaf is cooking. Just keep your eyes open for…

Some people asked, here's what's in the spring roll: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/view/173479692210029 I don't know if its public or not, please let me know if you have trouble accessing.

Thanks! They were :)

Agreed. I try to think of the calorie limit set by mfp as a "budget" where I can spend on either this or that, but which one is going to leave me fuller? Even if it is a sweet tooth I need to satisfy, which can I have more of; a bowl of strawberries or a piece of pie. I'd choose the one I can eat more of most of the time.…

Exactly :) Since MFP is a site dedicated to counting calories in attempts to control weight... Thank you for clarifying for me.

They were really good :) but unfortunately the rice wrapper was soggy and it fell apart, so it was a huge salad, but with the mustard I don't even care. It tasted great! and honestly I'd rather eat it than the doughnut anyway, regardless of the calorie count.

The authentic stadium mustard. really good! only 5 cals per serving.

lol, Couldn't make smaller ones due to the calorie count in the rice wrapper, was trying to increase my mileage :)

Thanks! I was getting sick of salad.

the spring rolls are huge. It took a lot to squeeze the veggies into a single rice wrapper.

Lol, good plan

Thanks for posting this, I didn't realize that I have been doing this too. My brain has been telling myself that nothing really counts until I hit the point I was at before... but regardless of my past failures, I need my brain to understand this is a fresh start, I just have some leftover muscle mass from before.

Its too early to get frustrated. Many people even gain weight in the first 2 weeks. Especially if your new diet is drastically different from your old. Your body is adjusting. Stick with it and you will soon see the weight come off.

Get your support from somewhere else, like your MFP friends. Develop tunnel vision :) Look away when temptation strikes. Take pride in small accomplishments like looser jeans. Focus on yourself. My husband tends to act like this is a phase too, but when he starts seeing the results, he gets more on board. Its your…

Although my diet is suffering during these holidays (I have been sticking to my calorie limit about every other day), I have shifted my focus from net caloric intake to minimum weekly mileage. I am focusing on keeping running even though it is cold and dark out and hopefully this will get me through the holidays with 0-2…

My NSV this week was my running shorts, I had to tie the drawstring to keep them from falling down while I ran. First time I've had to do that :)

Great tips for changing your life, not just your weight. Thank you for sharing!

So good news and bad news :) Good news is I finally got my fitbit flex! Bad news is it was at my local best buy for who knows how long while I've been on the 6 week wait list for the fitbit store for more than 4 weeks. Glad to have it, but a bit frustrated about the whole process. In other news, I absolutely love it!…

Yeah so was wondering today why for the first time in 3 weeks I just couldn't say no to a handful of chips this morning :( and then I realized, yep its right around the corner. I hope I can do good this week, this is my first one while on mfp, I hope I can tough it out.

Hi! I just turned 30 and I have to lose 50+ lbs before its too late! Please feel free to add me.

Ok after reading HalfSizeMePlz's comment I broke down and placed my order again. I've read the reviews about inaccuracy, but I've also read that they're fine if you calibrate them correctly. I'm gonna give it the benefit of the doubt and try it out. There's a money back guarantee on it anyway. I just hope it gets here…

I gave up and cancelled my order. Kinda ridiculous :( I bought the Zombie! Run app for my phone instead and its been a lot of fun.

Did you get your flex yet? I just ordered mine and it still says 6+ weeks. They aren't in stores around here.
