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.

You two look amazing, that is such a short amount of time which is wonderful. My ten year wedding anniversary is in June so I would love to have progress pictures to post & this is the best inspiration. Thank-you, your family & friends must be amazed. I wish I could say something to my husband, because he is part of the…
