If you are going to use a protein shake can I recommend this. http://www.myprotein.com/sports-nutrition/impact-diet-whey/10530657.html I have been using this since October and find it great stuff. Tastes good great texture and a good price. It also contains lots of good stuff.

Sleeping would be good lol

Hi Jen. Welcome to the start of the new you. I have been on it for just over 100 days now and have loved every minute. Feel free everyone to add me to your friends list. Iain

With 2 kids a dog and a race car my time is taken up with lots of loud noise lol. I love to cook also.

Someone keeps busy lol

You should not be feeling like that at all. Check that you are getting what you need on the mfp table and make sure you do not under eat. Eating to little is not good for you at all. I get the symptoms you are saying if my blood sugars drop to low.

I take prednisalone which is a steroid for arthritis. It's biggest side effect is weight gain. It can be a hell of a time if i am on them for sometimes 3 months at a time. :-(

As already said above, the power is in your hands. The power can be heavy but the power will see you through the hard times and each time you smile on weigh in day will see that power grow. Friends are a must as they are going through the same as you and will understand all your woe's. Good luck.

I was 20 stone 9 when i started and im now 18 stone 9. I started 90 days ago as am losing a steady 2lb a week. I am 40 and have the same worry as you. I have also been told as already mentioned that the slower the loss the better the chances of skin spring back. Plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated will also help.…

It makes it worth while thats for sure.

I was told i was type 2 just over 2 years ago and to me i was not suprized as my lifestyle was crap so it was defo on the fast train to me. My bloods were regularly in the high teens and often into the 20's but since starting on MFP last October my lifestyle has completely changed and my bloods are down to a normal 5.5…

I have 27g of oats in the morning with hot milk and is under 300 calories and it lasts me all the way to lunch. As long as its a healthy breakfast thats all that matters. Iain.

11 so far. Most are because i liked a picture and a few that have special meanings to me or the family.

Well the first step is complete so onwards and upwards.

Well you have already done the first correct thing towards weight loss and thats joined MFP. I am sure there will be many people on here that will guide you through your opening days and will still be there as you enter you first month and beyond. Welcome to the start of the new you. Iain.

Thank you

It great to see the myths put out there and the truths to dispel them. One thing for sure is in the 10 days i have been on MFP my bloods have been between 4.4 and 6.2 every day. which is a big drop from the 14 average that it used to be, New truth MFP helps control type 2 Diabetes. FACT!

I'm also from the UK so add away.

Don't forget to log todays intakes.

I DO!!

Welcome aboard mate. We will do this together.

I guess it depends on who you're doing this for. Are you doing it for YOU or for the reaction you may or may not get from other people? One of those paths has a successful future for weight loss, and one does not. My goals are 2, firstly i am diabetic and secondly I am taking the family to disney next year and i want to be…

A pound is a great start in the first week so well done you. Thanks for the positives guys i think that no matter how much you lose its not a game of chasing number but a lifestyle change for the better. Iain.

MFP has become my new best friend. Also told a good friend of mine about it and he may well be on here by the end of the week. Iain

Weighed in today as well and lost 4lb so on cloud 9.

Thats fantastic. I would be over the moon if i was one day able to stop the meds, until then i will continue to enjoy the blood sugar numbers. Iain.
