I'm getting married on July 9th 2016. Going to start working on my weight loss a little more cause I have to start getting ready for my dress!

Water aerobics are great for joint pain. It takes the weight off your joints and allows you to move with resistance. Its a great exercise and most gyms offer them if they have a pool. Some you can just pay for the classes, or even just buy a pass to a pool and work out on your own. its hard to find motivation when we are…

I'm in, but I would love more mini-challenges for each week. that makes it more fun for me. Maybe go til Halloween for the next one?

my move app is not getting in all my steps. When I compare it to my S health counter on my Samsung at the end of the day, I'm about 1000 steps short! right now the walking mate has me 13667 but moves only has 8564...big difference there. any ideas? I know when I walk slower-like when typing a text then Move doesn't…

Nice to meet you Kim. 2 Kim's that are in the healthcare field what are the odds!

Thank you. Yea I cant do early morning...no way I would be able to get up before 6:30 and still function....lol.

Hello I'm Kimberly and I'm a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator(CDE). I live in Missoula, MT. 1. Where do you see yourself one year from now? Working with Diabetes patients, married, and enjoying life! 2. What holds you back or limits you in your quest to being healthy? Time and motivation are what get in…

it all depends on the person and what their BGs are running. If they are running a little higher but overall have an A1C of 6.5% or lower then usually we just monitor it and if it increases to much higher numbers then medications are the next step.

Our fasting goals are 70-100, 2 hr PP 70-140

I'm sorry but as a type 1 diabetic, a registered Dietitian, a certified diabetes educator, and someone who works with endos on a daily basis I have to disagree. Diabetes is not an impairment on CHO metabolism its an impairment on Insulin production. CHO is metabolized the same in a diabetic as it is in a non diabetic, the…

I downloaded the move app. Its free. just waiting for the group request to be accepted!

This is the best option. However there are CDEs (certified Diabetes Educator) that are RDs (I'm one of them...lol) If you are only concerned on the nutrition side I would recommend finding either a Registered Dietitian (RD) or a RD, CDE. Most insurances will cover diabetes education.

Not always. It varies person to person and research is 50/50 on whether it works or not. I have counseled many diabetics patients who it didn't work for and some that it did. Ground cinnamon is better than buying cinnamon pills from the vitamin section and much cheaper.
-
this is not accurate. Its no less than 30g Carb per meal for diabetes. The actual meal amounts will vary person to person, based off calorie needs. at 1250 you are looking at about 140g Carb per day which is about 45g per meal, or if you have 15g snacks you can do 30g at each meal with a 15g AM, PM and bedtime snack. that…

Most adults can fluctuate in weight by as much as 4 pounds throughout the day. It has to do with water weight, clothing, hormones, and all that. You did not gain 3 lbs of fat though if that what you are thinking.

BMI is not a percentage....it would be a BMI of 18.5-which is still normal, but is the normal BMI cut off.
-
You can eat whatever you want within your calorie goals. if you want to eat cheeseburgers and fries with a small milkshake daily then as long as you decrease calories in other area of your day to meet your goal then you will still lose weight. However this would not be the healthiest choice.
-
However your wrong all calories are created equal. Its a unit of MEASURE, there is no difference. Foods are not equal.
-
We are not backing the article because most of her claims are wrong. A calorie is a calorie because it is a unit of measure. She is not talking about different calories affecting different things, shes talking about nutrition. But because she wont admit that she is wrong instead she contradicts herself every few paragraphs…
-
Your husband responds differently to Carbs and sugar, not the calories in a carb food so a sugary food. If he has higher blood sugars he will not lose weight, good diabetes control is key for weight loss in diabetics, if they have an A1C of greater than 7% (average BG over 150) then weight loss is a lot harder than for…
-
No it doesn't because she stated that only a slight few can have success with a diet change because they have to maintain it for LIFE........
-
We are not jumping all over you for wanting to share, we are jumping all over the article that is based on opinion and not science. Also the fact that you are eating too few calories at 900 cal/day. Never drop below 1200 otherwise you will hinder your weight loss by putting your body into starvation mode.
-
I read the majority of this article. As I read more and more the author contradicted herself more and more. A calorie is not a calorie, lets define calorie-its a unit of measurement, but its not the same.....Yea I had to hold back my anger at this article because there is no science backing her claims and her claims are…
-
The key is balance and portion sizing. You can eat sugar, but try not to eat it in large amounts. Try for more whole foods and less processed for better nutrition. If you start cutting things out slowly you have a better chance of maintaining rather than cutting it all out at once.
-
Yes it has been studied, but there is not enough evidence to make the claim that it does in fact lower blood glucose levels. There needs to be more research done before that claim can be backed. Just like cinnamon can lower Blood sugars in SOME diabetics, but not many. The research is there, but not enough to make an…
-
There is no evidence to support the myth that Apple Cider Vinegar lowers blood sugar levels. It can help stomach issues but its not from a bacterial issue, its from low stomach acid. as for the other things you listed...not sure but its probably doubtful

Do tell me what it is like after you complete it. I'm nervous about my first one in May and would love to hear about the obstacles that your race had in it!
