@bubbex2 Sending positive thoughts, and thinking of you. I knit "knitted knockers" for charity, would be happy to do some for you if you end up needing them. PM me.

There is a thread here called "Just for today", why not give it a try? It may help you ease back.

I was just diagnosed with Diabetes type 2 and the nutritionist reviewed my diet and made recommendations. She told me to avoid sugar alcohols i.e. anything ending in tol as the body cannot differentiate between them and sugar. She also went over the studies regarding sugar replacements and the evidence that they can cause…

50 LBs is huge! Pat yourself on the back and tell yourself you are ready to up your game.

Why don't you try to motivate them? Invite a family member to workout with you. Or choose a breast cancer or MS walk they might get behind and train for the next walk/ run event together. You might be surprised at their response .

My family was my excuse. I would blame my size and weight on genetics, instead of the fact that the diet my family ate was the same foods and proportions that had been eaten when my great grandparents had been farmers. We lived in a multi generational household where family heavy, carb laden foods were served three times a…

Today after a 30 LB weight loss I was able to go down two notches on my fitbit bracelet!

Haven't been able to get in any exercise so really watched my intake. Evidently it was enough! Lost 4.5 this week, 11.5 since challenge started.

Congratulations! That's great progress!

Congratulations and thank you for serving. My granddaughter graduated from naval boot camp 9-11-15 and has joined a new ship in Pascagoola Fl. So good to see women serving.

Please just do what the medical professional suggested and follow up with them timely. I'm sure most of us on mfp have had constipation due to our changing diets, and all have something that has worked for us. This is now past home remedies. Please keep us updated as we care about you and your discomfort. Best wishes.

Congratulations!

Great job, 16 inches, 20 lbs, you should be walking on air!

You look fabulous!

Why are you keeping your carbs do low,? I was recently diagnosed with diabetes 2 and my nutritionist told me to keep carbs around 135-180 grams per day; 30-45 per meal and 15 per snack and 3 snacks per day. I've been following this and my fasting sugars are steady within normal limits every day.

Cograts, you look amazing!
