  • Hello everyone, I’ve been gone for a while. Now I have a much better phone so I’m back on. I’m forty-two right now, and feeling more motivated than ever to do something healthy for me. I’m a type 1 diabetic so being healthy is essential. I need energy to keep up with my boys. Just want to say a great big Hi. Please add me…
  • I would try to bust through the cold & exercise anyway sometimes working out even with a cold can make you feel better. If you are feeling crappy while working out you may need to take a few extra rest breaks depending how your breathing is but I would really try. Good luck. Stace
  • Hi my name is Stacy, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in August of 2006. I have never really been overweight. I am about 5'4 & weigh approximately 145lbs when not pregnant. I was drinking lots of water but it was the hottest part of the summer & I work as a health care aide so quite physical work so thought nothing of…
  • Wow you are truly an inspiration. I am pregnant so I can't really lose weight right now but will definately add you as a friend so that I can have pictures as good as yours once the baby is born. You look great & keep up the great work. Thank-you for posting your pictures. I look forward to getting to know you & keeping…
  • Wow you look so amazing, congrats to you. You must be so proud. I am going to add you, I need inspiration & a kick in my butt however that is possible from wherever you live. LOL.:love:
  • I work out at home (can't afford to work at the gym). I love putting on my cute clothes to workout in, I then like to sweat & see the tops change color with my sweat. I am a freak!!!! I also will wear sloppy clothes because they are going to get sweaty & stinky but it just depends whats clean & quick to put on. I…
  • I live in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, I guess maybe I could buy Lu Lu Lemon clothes but I usually just shop at Wal-Mart or Zellers or Superstore. I wouldn't spend a lot of money when I am going to get it all sweaty. Good luck in your shopping I hope you find what you are looking for.
  • Wow you look amazing, I have never seen somebody that has lost that much weight you are amazing. I need to lose weight because I have diabetes & my weight of course makes a difference with how much insulin I have to take. Thank-you for posting this you make me want to succeed.
  • Wow that is amazing. Congrats.
  • I can't imagine being told not to drink water. My Grandma & Mom believe that if cows drink water & eat grass & make such good milk then us as humans should follow suit. I have tried to quench my thirst with other drinks & for me it doesn't work. I can't believe that something like that was able to be published but just…
  • Wow that is so great. I am diabetic also, I was diagnosed when I was thirty, post one baby & pre another. I am taking two kinds of insulin, as well as metformin. I get really frustrated with myself because I will crave all the wrong things. I will be really good for a little while then it hits me like a wall & I can't get…
  • I don't remember when I started now & I can't find it anywhere but I wish I could say I was just starting. When I first came on, I lost some now that I think about it was probably water weight. I also have three children ages 8, 6 & 3. I love them dearly but when I think about it I wish I would have been way more careful…
  • Your front looks pretty good I must say. I have some DVD's that I need to start using but I think I better get my workouts going on a regular three day basis so that my body is used to the regular workouts. I can definately see a difference already. I will take pictures when I get them.
  • I've made two smoothies so far. The first one was: a scoop of protein powder, about two cups of frozen mixed berries, one cup of water (I used water because of my diabetes). I also used about half a cup of Presidents Choice greek yogurt. It was very good, I did find with the mixed berries that I had the seeds in my mouth.…
  • That sounds so good, I had to stop buying the International Delight creamers because of the sugar. I will definately try this. Thanks so much.
  • I am diabetic too and have finally realized that eating healthy & excercise really helps the blood sugar numbers. That is so awesome about your A1C I really need to work on getting mine down to where it should be. Congrats.
  • I bought the Superstore brand Greek yogurt & find it not too sweet but I think I will try to put some fruit in it & see if its better I usually buy the flavored ones that are sweetened with sucralose, I do need to try the plain stuff more though because I realize that its probably better for me. I do have frozen fruit & so…
  • You look so great. I can totally see a difference in your face, you seem so much happier. Good luck to you on your life change.:flowerforyou:
  • You look amazing, & God Bless you for surviving cancer. I really hope your not insulted with the mention of God. I get scared anytime I hear the work cancer whether its cureable or not. Truly an inspiration.
  • Yes I agree, you look great. Fabulous job.:flowerforyou:
  • You really look amazing, good for you. I can't wait to post some during & after photos.
  • Tape worm that is so funny, I work with a girl who watched an episode of that Williams girls talk show & she was talking about a tape worm. Linda keeps threatening about getting one so she can get skinny, I really don't think its that funny when it comes down to it but to think that somebody would use it as way of losing…
  • Hi, I've been on here too long to not have more success but I kept falling off the wagon so now I am motivated & really feeling like this is going to be the time that I have success & its all because of my wonderful friends on here that I know are rooting for me. The support is awesome & the advice is too. Welcome & good…
  • what do you mean for a diabetic no? I like the flavoured ones as a snack. Maybe something would be more filling, but I do like the flavour. :flowerforyou:
  • That's so awesome. Really makes a difference when its somebody that you haven't seen in awhile. I was at my work the other day (I've been off on stats ) so this nurse is a friend on facebook & so she's seen on my profile that I am on here & trying to do something with my weight & so she said I look great, sure made me feel…

  • Awesome, that is so wonderful.
  • Thanks everybody for posting your absolutely awesome morale boosters. I have been feeling the same way, I haven't excercised in probably over a week. I am already a diabetic but this week I might as well have been one of my Personal Care Home residents for all the good I did myself. I really need to give my head a shake &…
  • You look great, congrats on the wonderful progress.:flowerforyou:
  • Wow that is amazing I see you gotten alot of that response but I don't know what else to say. You seriously don't look like the same person. I really hope you believe that you can do it because Wow now I believe I can change. Thank-you for the pictures.
