Meters have a margin of error, the readings are all close, so you are in that 200 range. Make sure your hands are clean and dry. Keep your strips clean and dry too.

In the hospital for 3 days hooked up to insulin drip for the first night and antibiotics for all of it, finding out I had diabetes. No one to blame but myself. A lot of anger and self hate going on right then and for the next couple months. Had suicidal thoughts, very depressed. dropped 9lbs a week for 3 weeks, then found…

*As a watchmaker for 10 years*. I would troubleshoot like this: Try a new battery. Make sure the contacts are clean. Make sure it is dry inside. Seat the gasket in the back correctly to ensure a leak free seal. If all else fails take it to a watch professional, or contact me for my website and address.

for these hubbies that aren't supportive... get a piece of lingerie a touch too small for ya... pick your battle... hold it up in front of yourself and tell him how you wold love to be able to wear it for him... leave it somewhere he can see it or remind him of it once every couple of days...

For me I told my dad, the most supportive and understanding of the bunch... I'm sure whatever you decide will be right for you.

for less than $2.00 a shake (no pdm just formula 1 and water) I found that it was a great alternative to going to a fast food joint or restaurant... If you have a tendency to either forget to pack your meal or do not have a place to store your meal, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a meal in a can or the stuff to make it…

right now anything is going to help, eat and log your foods, if you "fall off the wagon" just let it be a bump in the road, this isn't going to happen overnight... it took a while to get as big as we are and it will take a while to get it off! It CAN be done! If you want you can add me (friend request sent) and we'll keep…

5 months to lose 100, maybe a year to make the next 100...

well I've quit 2 times... first for 2 years, then again 10 days ago, much easier this time, i knew what to expect! I tried quitting quite a few times before with little success.. the thing is to keep trying, you want it bad enough and you'll make it happen... some things to replace a cig... dumdum suckers hot cinnamon…

not only have you lost fat for insulation, you do not burn as many calories moving around, your body will need time to readjust to that... given time it will make more brown fat that can convert fat to heat.

This is amazing!

1 when you think you feel hungry first drink 12 oz of water 2 find what you want and log a serving 3 measure your serving 4 eat it in a different room/location. 5 do not eat in car 6 do not eat from multiple serving containers filling veggies are great for belly packing... steamed broccoli is about 30 calories per cup...

Increase your water intake by 1/3, take a stool softener without a stimulant... if you are a little low on your water intake your body will pull more from the bowels and dry things out making it hard to pass. please do avoid straining to pass, can cause hemorrhoids and can lead to tearing too.

bump... need to keep this higher in the list... seems to be a lot of new members with this common goal! I added everyone on the list here and have 100+ friends now to help me to be a better, smaller, me in this new year.

diabetes is never reversed... it goes into remission until the conditions change that brought it to you in the first place... even in remission cancer survivors get checked regularly to make sure it doesn't come back... diabetics either can't make/don't make enough or can't use insulin

sardines, tuna, hard boiled eggs, hummus, tahini peanut butter or peanuts, raw almonds... i'm liking the raw almonds right now myself... take a small hand full (1/4 cup) eat them one at a time... your jaw will start to ache before you are done! crunchy craving taken care of.

smoked oysters (for the iron)

I was sick about a month back and had 3 "nutritional shakes" that totaled up to about 900 cal... not enough by bed time so i forced myself to eat 4 tbsp of peanut butter to get up over the 1200 minimum i need to stay out of starvation... sometimes its whatever you can do to get to it to keep on losing!
-
I find watching sugars and carbs to be a good way to avoid getting spikes in sugar... 3 months with no insulin after starting to log foods... natural raw almonds are good for snacks... just eat a small handful (about 1/4c) or a celery bunch (about 8 8 inch stalks) both very low in carbs but take care of my crunchy craving…
