  • My suggestion is yogurt. Or better yet get out of the house and go for a walk or something mwhen youre stressed. I have found that diabetic sweets arent very good, they cost more and I dont know bout anybody else, but they go right through me
  • I have been diabetic for several years. I have seen a diabetes dietician and she has set me up at 150 carbs=1500 calories. I would really suggest you talk to your doctor about your nutrition and see what he/she says about how many carbs and/or calories to eat on a daily basis for weight loss or maintneance. I have lost…
  • Calorie counting never worked for me. I count my carbs. I find that the difference between the calorie number and the carb number is so different, but if you look at the smaller number which would be the carb count then you are more apt to feel better about yourself then looking at the bigger number which is the calorie…
  • Well if you think about it logically. These two would look and act differently. One is loading her body with good wholesome foods and the other is with junk foods. Your skin will be smoother and have more color and you wont be as tired. As with the other and junk foods. Her skin will look more pale, maybe more wrinkled and…
  • No aircrafts what so ever! Whats your favorite food?
  • 133 for me. I had a yogurt and a manderine orange before bed. I'm hoping that's what bumped me up.
  • +Yogurt, nuts, cheese, crackers. Today I had a cup of cappacinoIt has 120 calories, 19 carbs. A nice afternoon snack. Oh yeah it was Hills Bros White Chocolate carmel cappacino.
  • If you don't eat enough calories youre body will store what you do eat in fat cells. If you aren't hungry enough to eat food try a smoothie or one of those shakes like Boost. You will get your calories that you need. Hope this helps you.
  • I just read an article about Spinach powder and extract. Eating spinach is a great green(s), just add a bit to your salad and youre off to a good start. I ordered the powder and when it comes Im going to add it into my foods because eating salads everyday will get boring. Spinach is supposed to help speed up metabolism and…
  • I also added the app to my phone again. I use it mostly for the Barcode when I need to enter something new. It's very convenient. I am counting carbs instead of calories. It is much easier and not so discour
  • Hi Kim I am also somewhat new. I had joined before , but lost track of myself so I'm going to try this again. I am a diabetic and I eat 6 times a day. Br, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. Now my meals are not too big and my snacks usually consist of fruit and or yogurt. You need to pick a snack that will satisfy you…
  • Your husband is a jerk! You're pregnant for gods sake. Even if you weren't he should love you for who you are not what you look like. Im sure you are not in the same shape as when you got married and he isn't either. That's called life. We all change as days go by. Sit him down and make him listen to how you really feel.…
  • Congratulation on making the decision to start. You dont need a lot of money to lose weight. You just need to sit down and talk to your parents,Im assuming you still live at home. And maybe make a list of foods that you could maybe cut back on and foods that you could add. Adding veggies into the household is always a good…
  • No you arent the only one that gets angry about things like this. However....this person could be someone that really doesnt have to watch their weight like we do and they dont know how hard it is for us to lose 10 pounds and they want to do it overnight. People dont always think about the overweight person sitting in the…
  • Sorry to tell you but there is no such thing as a fast weight loss unless you want to gain it all back plus some. Five weeks is a long time, you could probably lose about 10 pounds the right way and keep it off. Drop the alcohol and sugar drinks completely. I dropped 10 pounds the 1st 2 weeks of doing this myself. Cut back…
  • Hey. I am a diabetic and I am following a Carb,not calorie way of eating. Not a diet. I just changed the way I eat. I am eating between 168-170 grams of carbs per day, but then Im a lot bigger than your picture shows. This is what my dietician reccommended for me. Maybe after I lose some more weight I will be able to lower…
  • Top. That way if its on a burger it doesnt melt before I get to eat it.
  • :smile: Congratulations! How did you get your A1C down so low in just 3 months? However you did, great job.
  • Diabetes is a hereditary desease. It may have been coincidental that it just happened to rear its ugly head and the time you found out about your sleep apnea.
  • I changed my thinking and lost 100 pounds in 2 years. The first thing I changed was my way of thinking. I threw the word "diet" right out the door! Why? Because I wasnt on a diet. A diet to me is something you do for awhile, you lose a few pounds and youre done with the diet. When a person has a bucket of weight we want to…
  • Great job on the 33 down. Being diabetic doesnt mean you have to let it rule you. I told a diatician this once and she wrote it down. Yes I have diabetes but it doesnt have me. I was diagnosed several years ago and didnt do anything about it except panic and threw all my food away, well not all of it. After I got used to…
  • if you go into your pharmacy and tell the pharmacist that you have been diagnosed with diabetes they may give you a moniter for free. Also you should check with your health insurance company because there are some supplies that they dont cover because they are too expensive. I have had several differnet types. the best one…
  • I also am a carb counter. A few years ago I went to see a dietician and she told me "if you keep track of your carbs, your calories will take care of themselves" Keeping track of carbs is also much easier and less scarier than calories. When you see 100 carbs for .75% of the day as opposed to 100 calories it doent seem as…
  • Just joined today. Have been on the weightloss wagon for years. I finally got serious and lost 80 lbs 1.5 years ago and have kept it off.Only 100 more to go.:smile:
