Yeah I have this problem. I am usually pretty good during the day but when it comes to evening I prowl around the kitchen wanting chocolate & I usually crave something salty to go with the sweet. I usually do have some 100 calorie snacks around because I am also diabetic & need to snack often. I do need to get the smaller…

so very cool. Not sure who would have had the fun task of figuring this all out but thanks to whom ever they are. I will be glad when I have lost a small animal & not much more. Can't lose too much I might not be found afterwards. LOL:wink:

Well congrats thats awesome. I would say exactly what the previous poster put. I wouldn't think that they would put you to a bad place. Is there any advice you can give some of us that are still trying to reach our goal?:smooched:

Yep totally love this site, I feel so guilty when I don't come & log my food & excercise. I come here before facebook & I used to be on fb all the time. I can't believe the amazing support on here, I wish we lived closer so we could get together & do coffee. Love all my "friends". Have a wonderful day & can't wait to see…

I am also from Canada, I live in Manitoba. I wasn't sure if there was anybody from Canada on here. Great to see you fellow Canadians (nothing against people from anywhere else). I am about 149 or so right now & want to get to 140 but will see how I feel there, then I may have to make adjustments.

this sounds really good, I love banana muffins & I love cookies so put them together & I will definately be a fan. thanks for sharing.

I have found that if I don't log in everyday I feel guilty I was sick so I definately have some catching up to do. I hope your success is helped along by the site & that you find some friends. Good luck to you. I would love to be your friend as well.

I agree with a previous post so totally could eat that whole pan. Yummy, I love cheesecake.

Hi everybody I am not brand new but might as well be as I sort of fell off the wagon being sick with a really crappy cold. I am back & am determined not to get too sidelined. I think this sight is absolutely awesome, for helping you stick with it as well as support. We will help in anyway we can. Can't wait to take this…

Well I won a membership to a gym from a social for my cousin. This will hopefully make you all laugh. I went to the gym to learn how to use the machines. I had the personal trainer teach me (he was a boyfriend of a friend). He taught me & instead of easing myself into working out I did what he recomended for reps the first…

Hey I think you are amazing by being on here. I am fine feeling more inspired by the posts & realizing that I need to get back on the eliptical & doing my excercising to get some results.

Wow do you ever look wonderful. I have a tummy & when I get undressed I wonder if I will ever get to where I am not embarrassed to see myself with no clothes. I have always thought that my stomach shouldn't stick out further than my breasts, I know so silly but after three pregnancies I have just always thought that I will…

I have type 1 so I guess I am not much help to you, but what has been posted so far make sense. I don't know what Byetta is but I sure do wish I could get my A1C down to six, man that would feel good.

Thank-you so much for this post. My goal weight is because my diabetes dietician & I were discussing my weight & I had a BMI scale & when I looked at it I thought I should be about 15 - 20 lbs lighter but she said no I only need to lose about 10 so I guess I really don't know what my mini goals are/should be. I just want…

Hey Sammysdoll, I can't say I know how you feel but I hope that with the support of the online friends you can make it stick this time. Good luck to you & you have my support.

you are amazing by being on here & she needs to learn the saying if I can't say anything nice to not say anything at all. Way to go, 21 lbs is great. I believe & agree with the post about taking pictures of yourself in the same outfit, that way you can see your success.

I am diabetic so have found that the Crystal Light give me something 'else' to drink other than water but I just looked on the box & it says 10 calories for one packet so I would say that it should be logged different. I didn't realize that but now I will make sure to log my Crystal Light water separate from my plain…

Hi Erica, I think you are amazing. To have the confidence to keep trying I would almost want to give up with all that you've been through. Well I think with what you are trying you will be successful, baby steps is right if you want it to really work. Don't overwhelm yourself. Good for you & I wish you much success.

Hi I didn't have a clue either but we have an eliptical trainer so I have been going on it for about 30 - 40 min a day so that is really good. I also have been doing some floor excercises & I have already noticed a difference. I would say that if you have the yoga mat & the weights & ball to just start doing some floor…

My knees weren't necessarily swelling but they were quite sore so I talked to my doc (this was years ago). She thought it was probably arthritis so I started taking tylenol for it specific stuff for arthritis but if my knees were hurting in the day time I didn't want to take the tylenol (it makes me sleepy). So then I…

I only work out at home so far. I definately will not be joining a gym when I can do it at home & not spend so much money. I wear a t-shirt & shorts. Of course a sports bra, socks & sneakers. I totally need a sweat band, not sure if a bandana would work for absorbing sweat. I would really love some bra tops to wear but…

Hey bluegirlle, nice to have you on the site. It'll be great. Congrats on the baby, & good luck with the loss of weight. I'm sure you will find you receive lots of support.:love:

All I have so far is a elliptical trainer, I was wondering what I should invest in to strengthen my arms, work on my core & just tone in general. How important is it to have a HRM?

You look absolutely amazing so inspiring to know that it can happen for real. Congrats:love:

I am semi - public we were talking about it at work because we were watching HEAVY on our break & the one girl used to be quite heavy, I told her she looks really good now (I saw pictures of her when she was heavy). I mention MFP because I think its great for me to keep me acountable & I really need to stay up on it. I…

:heart: Thanks so much everybody I have learned how to do planks from a friend at work & so with your advice I will only do planks now because they don't make it hurt like that. Thank you very much.

I don't really understand whats different about my system or maybe I am just weird but I go everyday at least twice. I do drink lots of water, I really only like to eat whole grain bread & with trying to keep my cholesterol low (my bad is bad for a diabetic) I have been trying to eat healthier as well. I find that it seems…

I think 10 lbs would make a big difference, my diabetes dietician said that I really only need to lose 10lbs. We will see how I feel & what I think when I get to that. I didn't weigh myself in the morning when I first came on so I really can't say that my starting weight is 157lbs. I did do some measurements though I did…

You look absolutely amazing. I need to do some side by sides. I am scared about my now pictures though, I don't have hand weights so I was using big cans of canned food. I need to get some weights though. So far I have only been alternating eliptical trainer on the easiest level and some floor excercises so I need to try…

Yes I understand what you are saying but I have never done any type of weight loss (never thought I had to) but now that I've been diabetic since 2006 I decided that all the talk about excercise is good advice because it keeps my blood sugars alot lower. I have also realized that the excercising makes me feel so much…
