Hi! My name is Pradnya and I just discovered this group. I am not a type 2 yet technically, however, I have had my sugar readings done couple of times in the past and they were in a range of about 104 fasting and 120 PP. These are normal as per the medical reference range generally followed in my country. However,…

Very inspiring.

I am almost 5'6'' and 138.5 lbs. Still I will have to reduce another 12 -15 lbs. The reason being my body fat%. Which is unfortunately 31%. I am skinny fat. So yeah. Just check your body fat and decide for yourself. With just 15 lbs to go, that would be a perfect indicator.

Thank you everyone. I will track my inch loss regularly from now on.

Provide the research on this please. A person who finds himself at risk of suffering from such a bane as diabetes better not be misguided. Published research literature and really decades of medical treatments have established why carb control is the answer. Therefore when you are making such claims, please act responsibly…

Me too. Hai fellow less than average looking people! Feels nice to belong...

I will ask you one question - are your periods regular? Since you have had a cyst removed, I thought of asking this. I recently came across a podcast which mentioned that irregular periods may happen because progesterone is not produced in sufficient amounts. The reason why this happens is because of pituitary/adrenal…

Pleased with my results using MFP. I have been exercising on and off actually,. The only thing I try to ensure is walk atleast 30 minutes 3-4 times a week. But I did an intense exercise regime during end may-beginning of June and I think these benefits are mostly due to that. SW - 66.5Kg. - 24.4.2013 - 65 Kg - 24.5.2013…

What do you mean by 'other'? Were there even more courses in the first place?

Thats a huge achievement. I've lost like 1.5 kgs in last whole month....

I will say two things: 1. Brown better than white 2. HOWEVER - if you're sticking to your macros, you will do fine even with white rice. I mean, keep a daily carb goal of x grams. (an ideal goal is 40:30:30 i.e 40% carb, 30% proteins and 30% fats - but for us Asians, it is way too difficult. Especially the Indians. I too…

Yeah. No mini challenge? I checked this space thrice yesterday thinking that I must have missed it

I am not even overweight, but have to watch my weight due to a health risk.. Many of those overweight people where you live are technically supposed to be at a higher risk of body fat related health issues, though we don't know for sure, we can extrapolate into a general theory.... What can be more compelling reason than a…

Kickass!!

Great progress

Hey, ideal for sugar sensitive should be less than 100 g per day, the lesser, the better - but it gives quick energy - so cannot be abysmally low as well. I guess 60-80 g range mentioned here seems optimum. But if you eat as high as 200, then it will be difficult at one go to reduce. Try reducing gradually. I would…

Do the 30DS maybe? but you can also check this site = http://scoobysworkshop.com/ for home exercises without much equipment...

Smokin......

Thanks a lot

Excellent resources.. thanks a lot everyone!!

I am a vegetarian. By birth. I want to transition to veganism, but I suppose it will happen gradually and slowly... not very soon... Feel free to add me. Always great to come across a fellow vegetarian / vegan. We can learn a lot from each other...

Yesss. A troll...

My Vegan friend is also crazy. Coincidence? [/quote] [/quote] Not really. Lack of B12 found only in animal products will eventually progress to neurological issues. [/quote] ---Actually, you can't find B12 in animal products either except for the fact that the animals eat plants (unwashed) and pick up the B12 from dirt.…

From that point of view, we vegans/vegetarians would view meat-eaters as crazy... I say - to each, their own. I have been raised a vegetarian. Grew up in a community full of vegetarians. But never considered non-vegetarian people crazy just because they were not like me. Many healthy-weight-range non-vegetarians too are…

Actually come to think of it, - starting resistance training using body weight is not a very difficult thing at all. You can start with 1 suryanamaskar a day and gradually keep on adding to the quantity. Check a program called PLP (Push-ups, lunges and pull-ups) on Tnation, which talks about starting with 1 PLP and daily…

Of course @Kendrafallon, anybody would struggle, myself included. I just summarised changes that probably would lead to visible weightloss effects. I mentioned as well, that carb cutting (including sugar) is difficult to achieve, but one can target a 5% cut per week which sounds reasonable...you need to fill that gap with…

Congratulations, great story and thanks a lot for the tips...

Well, I messaged them directly and made my diary public. Neither have I received reply from the person above - nor has anyone commented on my diary... lets see..:ohwell:
