I am type 2 diabetic, right now my Dr took me off glipizide and I am now only on Metaformin 2x a day 500mg. I am eating a low carb based diet, basically 100g target daily, with this my sugars have been doing very well. I am 36, I was diagnosed at age 21, so I have been living with it a long time. My goal is never to be off…

I agree with the others, that is a great accomplishment! Just one step at a time. Right now my meds are killing my appetite but I will have to look into Garcinia Cambogia, thanks for the tip.

Faux Pumpkin Pie 1/2 ricotta cheese (part skim or whole milk, which ever you prefer) 1.5 tsp pumpkin spice 1tsp vanilla extract splenda Mix well and YUM! This can be 2 servings, taste great with sliced apple.

Yes, my hubby can eat the whole house and not gain an ounce! Very frustrating when trying losing weight and eat healthy. He is skinny and needs to gain a few pounds but he eats like crap. AKA Skinny Fat.....lol . I am now doing a lower carb diet now, as per my DR. I am type 2 diabetic. Aiming to keep carbs under 100g. You…

How true! I can't touch oatmeal with a 50 ft pole, but my mom can eat it and her sugars are okay. My mom is on metaformin., which did nothing for me except make me puke. I am to start metaformin ER with the low carb, to see how that works. Even after I lost about 60 lbs nothing changed. My levels were still the same. I had…

SW 160.8 CW 160.0 SO FRUSTRATING- I did a lot more exercising than I normally do. I did increase my calories and TOM paid a visit mid week, so patience. When I weighed in last time it was technically 160.8 and today 160.0. My ticker said 1 lbs .. must round up? This happened for my first weigh in. Sorry I did not put the…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.. WEEKEND...lol Enjoy it

What I like: 1. I love to learn 2. I have learned to stand up for myself and others. (hate when ppl bully and judge another human being) Good decision of the day: 1. pre-planned all my meals to stay on track 2. I made time in my schedule to do my c25K training instead of finding an excuse.

Now that sounds AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I actually love this... for me this is so true, tired of losing weight in that area!!!

Day 2 of C25K... I will watch that video later ;)

Kale Chips (even my kids love it!): Kale ( I usually make 1/2 of a big bunch) Olive oil (I use it in the spray) Salt Pepper Minced onion (optional) Garlic powder (optional) I line my cookie sheet with foil and spray with my olive oil. you can also just use reg olive oil about 2 tsp and rub it with a paper towel over the…

It does sound like fun. Great idea!

I know reminds me also when I was young, family meals. Although we eat dinner together at the table about 4 nights a week.... for now..lol Kale Chips (even my kids love it!): Kale ( I usually make 1/2 of a big bunch) Olive oil (I use it in the spray) Salt Pepper Minced onion (optional) Garlic powder (optional) I line my…

Weekends seem to be the time I have the most control. During the week with work and kids sometimes I am so busy, I grab whatever. So I have to plan out my meals and be prepared. During the weekends I have more time for activity, so if I do get caught with ordering pizza or something, I have a chance to get moving and work…

Love these tips and the quote! I do forget to take pics of progress and the pin interest idea never even thought of that. Thanks!

I do intermittent fasting, especially to prepare for ramadan (30 day fast- no food or water, sunrise to sunset) It does help. There is another site I used http://jamesclear.com/the-beginners-guide-to-intermittent-fasting, once in a while fasting feels good :) Also as I stated in another post here I was going to try c25k…

I also go to allrecipes.com to get ideas. They have healthy quick meals. I also get my stuff together on Sunday and utilize family time. The kids like helping and it saves me time during the week. Also pre-planning helps me budget my calories better for the rest of the day and at times when I wanna splurge.

Going to start C25K with my 12yr old who just signed up for cross country at his school. Lead by example.... no more like having someone with me to call 911 when I fall over....lol

Very beautiful! Love the B/W photo. You look so amazing and HAPPY! Congrats on your accomplishment and on your marriage.

WOW!... can you say EYE CANDY! Great job!

OOH.... So going to try that! For me it was my Quinoa with brown sugar, cinnamon, splash of milk and sliver almonds stopped with 1/2 banana sliced

Thanks for posting! Wow. I have the c25k on my phone and have been too nervous to try it. I am envious of ppl who can run far distances, just never see myself as a runner. My son who is 12 just signed up for "at your own pace" Cross Country at his school. Last night he said... mom you have that app on your phone can I use…

I have 2 post its on my fridge that help so much. 1. Eat to live, don't live to eat 2. Even one drop of water raises the sea Between the two I am always reminded the little things help. I have taken an extra walk because of number 2, and prevented myself from eating half a PB cheesecake with number 1...lol Love the pic…
