I'm a big believer in the mantra proper planning prevents piss poor performance. I generally plan all my meals a day or two in advance. So if I know that I'm having Indian food on Friday night, I'll eat lighter Thursday and the earlier meals on Friday to help give me some wiggle room. Another example, yesterday I left my…

Interesting recipe! I think it would be nice and fresh for fish tacos or something like that. I do this with cauliflower "rice". I have vegan recipe that I like because it cuts down on all the cheese that is usually in those recipes, though this zucchini recipe isn't too bad fat wise. I imagine this recipe would work if…

I like the chocolate brownies, the lemon bars. The streusel ones are are pretty good, though the cheesecake ones are tease more than anything. Target had a special smores flavor over the summer that was good. I don't buy them much, because I tend to eat 2 or 3 in a sitting. I have tried the chocolate and lemon Fiber Now…

Cauliflower rice! Pulse a fresh or defrosted cauliflower in a food processor until it's "rice" texture. Makes good replacement for mexican rice, indian food, fried rice. So tasty!

Hey chica! I started this journey at 300 (just shy of my highest weight ever of 308). I'm down to just under 200lbs! It's taken a year and lots of hard work, but it is doable! I've been able to get off of high blood pressure medicine completely and reduced my diabetes meds drastically. You can do this!!

I had to do the walk of shame off a roller coaster that my son wanted to ride. Multiple convos with the doctor and t2 diabetes dx did nothing for my mindset. It was that roller coaster. I'm 112lbs down, off my blood pressure meds, and down to 1 diabetes med.

This is almost always true for me as well! I'm usually 8-10 lower after 1st breakfast.

I've lost 112lbs so far! It's taken me about a year to do it. I bought a cheap elliptical off craigslist and started with that. Since the weather has been warm, I'm mostly walking outside or at the mall if it's too hot! Take your family with you! I have a four year old and sometimes we bribe him with netflix on my phone…

I'll be 35 on the 4th! My goal is 15lbs by then.

My bday is 11/4 and I'll be 35! How the hell did that happen? Anyway, I've got 45 or 50lbs left to lose (lost 112lb so far). I'd like to get 15lbs off by my birthday, that would put me solidly in the overweight category instead of obese. My goal was to get there by 8/1, but that did not work out. The first 100lbs was easy,…

I'm a 34 year working mom of a rambunctious 4 year old boy! I've lost 112lbs so far, but I've got about 45-50lbs left I'd like to lose! I'm always open to new friends!

I recently tried some of the new Luna protein bar flavors, Dark Chocolate Hazelnut and PB Dark Chocolate chunk, both were very good. They aren't very big like a pure protein or quest bar, more like a chewy granola bar size. They were a dollar each at kroger. http://www.clifbar.com/products/luna/luna-bar

I just googled the dario system and that is really cool!! I'm lucky that my insurance covers my testing supplies, but the price point for this is pretty awesome if you don't have good insurance coverage.

I will likely pick up the streaming service for star trek only and then cancel (US).

I enjoyed The Flash on Netflix. Looking forward to season 2 getting on netflix with season 3 premieres. I've got 2 episodes of Limitless left(also Netflix). It has Jennifer Carpenter from Dexter in it, playing pretty much the same character, which I like! It's a fun show and totally ridiculous. Once in a while Bradley…

http://www.mooncheese.com/ Anyone tried these? I've seen them at the starbucks at my target and have been tempted. I <3 cheese, love the idea of being able to keep this on hikes without chill packs.

I agree that's it's not great mixed up as a spreadable "peanut butter". That said, it's very good mixed in recipes that ask for PB! Smoothies, cookies, oatmeal. Not so good as a PB&J sandwich.

greek yogurt and a luna bar

I love coconut chips. These sound amazeballs.

Donuts? do share the recipe please and thank you!

My son and I are currently obsessed with these pancakes. http://www.blogilates.com/blog/2012/04/19/pre-contest-protein-pancakes/

As a child I always liked crunchy on my pb & cheese sandwiches. Or pb & j with fritos. Hey, I was a round kid for a reason.

My doctor officially took me off tanzeum (diabetes control version of saxenda) since my blood sugars are way way down. I've been off of it for 2 weeks now and I've gained some water weight and possibly some real weight, though I don't really blame the drug. I was on vacation and just needed an attitude adjustment. I'm…

Gastroparesis is a big part of how this drug works by slowing down digestion. I'm sorry you ended up with yucky side effects. Maybe try Zantac or a Pepcid? I never had gas with this, just constipation. Best of luck!

Peanut butter FTW. I've like pb on ricecakes(butter popcorn flavor?) since i was a child. PB2 could be a bit healthier version if you are trying to keep calories lower. I think cheese and veggies is a good way to go. Tuna and avocado would probably be amazing.

twinsies! 92 today as well

Best of luck on your journey!
