I'm type 2 as well. I was formally diagnosed in Dec 2015. Since then I've lost about 50lbs. Regained. Relost. Etc. I have a hard time with sticking to things. I also battle depression so I yo-yo. I am also seeking supportive friends who can help me stay accountable. I have 3 kids, love video games, love to paint, work full…

I am currently using herbalife. I compared the powder to the generic store brand whey protein powder (vanilla) and the calorie difference is 10. The sugar difference is 3g. They have the same vitamins, HL has more minerals. It's pretty much the same thing as drinking whey protein with very little difference. HL recommends…

I just started it 3 weeks ago and have lost 10lbs already. :) I'm using my own program with it even though I have the ultimate package. I'm doing my 2 shakes every other day. So one day with them and one day without. So far so good and it's working for me :)

Same shoes. I'm 30 and I have 3 kids, I want to keep up with them. It's HARD. My boyfriend is tall and thin and always has been. He's never struggled with weight, but he's trying to be sympathetic and understanding.. but it's embarassing. I don't want a seatbelt extender on the freaking airplane. I don't want to not fit…

48 to go to reach 299. I've set my goal date for this for my 31st Birthday in August. :) So far I'm on track.

Muscle doesn't weight more than fat, sadly. :( They weigh the exact same, they're just different volumes. Muscle is leaner, smaller. But the same weight. http://www.onemorebite-weightloss.com/muscle-to-fat.html *Edit* Btw, that is a total dream killer. I used to always say that muscle weighed more than fat, and it was my…

Welcome Lily! :) It's a great site with a lot of supportive people. I hope you like it here!

Carolyn- You are my hero. This is what I have been stressing!

I always recomended this at weight watchers meetings! Ever since you taught me it back in 2003!

hehehehe Weight watchers has like 50 different scales. I have a really nice WW's one. If it's incorrect I will weigh myself 3 times. It usually gives me the same number. Sometimes it doesn't and i'll re-weight myself 3x's to make sure. It usually spits out the same number once I'm balanced properly on it.

Muscle and Fat weigh exactly the same. Only the volume is different. BUT, when you work out and use muscles you haven't in a long time little tears are formed. And they fill with fluid to protect them until healed I guess. It goes hand in hand with muscle soreness too. Drink a lot of water and stretch well.

Amazing! Congratz! I'm down 14lbs in the last 2 1/2 weeks lol! Way to go!

Oh btw, I'm in Streamwood, Illinois. It's walking distance to Schaumburg, Hanover park, and Hoffman Estates. lol

All I have to say is THANK GOD I am not the only one! (Not that it's a good thing). But now I don't feel so alone. Since I gained SO much weight I actually shut myself away from my friends. Only my family and a few close friends from childhood I allow to see me. The pictures on my facebook are all from an "above" angle. So…

Joining :) 25, married, 3 kids! :) I have an overweight person in excess to lose. -sigh- but I will do it!

I add raisins to my all bran and use vanilla soy milk. Gives it flavor. I like flavor with my cardboard. However I normally eat special K in either blueberry, chocolate delight, fruit and yogurt, special berry, or almond and vanilla. And I use light soy milk. :) Om nom nom. Then I have protein water between breakfast and…

My husband won't make any changes in his eating habits at all. So instead of me constantly pressing him and getting upset about it, I gave up. BUT, when I say gave up, I meant on changing him. Now I make my own dinners either earlier in the day and store them. Or if I am cooking dinner, I will make something for everyone…

I took slimquick powder for a metabolism boost and to push hunger away. It worked, but I couldn't sleep at night while taking it. You want to build your metabolism, start working out and keep to it. It will get better and better. If you want to keep hunger away, eat more protein. I drink Special K protein water after…

I use chocolate laxatives before bed when I'm having issues. Just remember to drink LOTS of water with what you're eating. It will make a difference.

As a woman you know my opinion of your Husband. As a woman you know I would also tell you the same things your friends told you. But, I will tell you that as a woman, you are AMAZING. The fact that you are TRYING to keep it together when it is next to impossible proves exactly what your friends have told you. You WILL get…
