  • I am doing nothing as far as I know. I must admit I am a little upset. Unless the husband is going to pull something out of his *kitten* at the last minute. But I don't think so. He is at work when I am awake and when he is home I am sleeping. So we don't get to see each other during the week. It sucks. Maybe I will make a…
  • I am so glad to hear this is still burning calories. I hate the treadmill so much, but now its all worth it :)
  • I know the feeling. My husband thought I was crazy when I asked for a food scale for valentines day, LOL
  • Just got done at the podiatrist earlier today. X-rays were exceptionally good, the doc said. That frustrated me because it means its not something that can be treated.The doc did say my gait was off though. Apparently I walk with my ankles bent at a weird ankle or something like that. I didn't understand what he told me,…
  • Everybody cross your fingers! Got an appointment with a podiatrist tomorrow!
  • To the sock people: I have a sock and panty gnome that takes all my panties/socks and eats them for dinner. I can never find either. In total I have around 50 pairs of underwear and socks because I just keep buying new ones when I can't find them.
  • I do hope I lose the sideboobs though. Gawd but those things are awful, LOL
  • I have horrible genes lol. My two sisters are huge (one is thin ish and the other is chunky) up top. I am the biggest of all of us yet I have the tiniest boobs. It would just be my luck that I lose them.
  • My goals: ~Go a whole day (which will hopefully lead to a week, leading to a month, etc) without snagging just one mouthful of something between meals. This is a hard thing for me to do as well as eat while preparing meals as I prepare most meals and I am always tempted to steal a quick bite here or there. I know it adds…
  • Still getting used to it. I've had a couple mild hypoglycemic episodes and am still feeling lightheaded, but I know it is just my body getting used to it. I used to inhale carbs like a hoover vacuum inhales dirt.
  • Confession: I just got done working out with my workout video. Instead of finishing, since my feet hurt I just kinda stood there and actually watched the last 8 minutes of the video. With the sound off. Don't ask me why I didn't turn the player off because I don't know. I am weird. Also, I have used this particular video…
  • I am on an extremely low carb diet. My doctor wants me on less than 10g carb per meal diet, as I am diabetic. It still almost isn't doable even just eating vegetables with dressing and lean meats. And it is not a diet for me, I have to live this way. Although I suspect my doctor is telling me this low of carbs because…
  • Thank you :) It is something I have been struggling with forever. Even when I was younger and a lot lighter I still had these issues. I just wish I could go see the podiatrist to know exactly what is wrong or if it is just the weight. Alas, even though I have really good insurance (hooray for amazon!) I still have a pricey…
  • Which do you use? The clogs or the flip flop ones?
  • I'm here. I had been here previously and joined this group and then went on vacation, gained all the weight I lost back and didn't have the heart to keep at it. I figured I would wait until the holidays were over to come back, so I'm here now. I don't know what I am going to do next year during the holidays, lol. That ones…
  • Hmm. Sounds like I need to see a different podiatrist. Either way, its been about half a year since I upped my physical activity (my mode of transportation ended up in the hospital and cannot drive any more) by having to walk to the store for my groceries. In that time it has made no difference in the pain. In fact,…
  • Hi there. I'm Jill. I am a diabetic, although what type I am is largely unknown as I have had conflicting reports from various doctors, although I fit the stereotype for type 2. Anyways, I just wanted to say having diabetes is not as bad/scary as it sounds. It seems daunting in the beginning because there is just SO much…
  • Cursor's Fury, the third book in Jim Butcher's epic fantasy series, Codex Alera. After that I am going to read the fourth book in the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne. I am a fantasy freak!
  • Before I started this whole thing some times I would put away a large pizza from papa johns or a whole digiorno pizza with wings. Also a case of 12 glazed dough nuts (not in the same night). Wow. That took a lot to admit.
  • Great Job! You look amazing!
  • Thanks. Now the hard part is remembering what that stands for. There are so many terms floating around on this site its hard to keep track of what means what, lol.
  • 71 this morning. Too low. Remedied that quickly.
  • Excuse me for being a bit nooby, but what does NSV stand for?
  • I am not quite there, I am tempted a lot, especially when cooking for my husband, I always want a little bit of this, a little bit of that. My biggest downfall is doughnuts, and lately I have been craving them like crazy. I can't wait till all these cravings go away. I know some cravings are ok, but I am still in the…
  • I am sorry to hear about your father. My mother very almost died this year and going through that was the hardest situation I've ever been in. I also lost my dad when I was 9, so I can sympathize with you. Anyways, if you are up to suggestions, I have one. Since you are so upset, the absolute BEST thing you can do is to…
  • I have around 150 lbs ish to go for my ideal weight. I weigh 269 and my short term goal is 230. Why I picked 230 I don't know, but 230 seemed as good as any number so here I go. Feel free to add me. Not just op but anyone else.
  • Great job! That is amazing weight loss! You are not alone. I am on a diabetic diet as well, being a diabetic myself. I can only have 10g or less per meal as ordered by my doctor.
  • I am Bipolar as well. I will add you. Anyone else feel free to add me
  • Hi there! You are truly an inspiration. I have about 150+ lbs to lose. I will add you. And anyone else can feel free to add me.
  • I am 26 from Washington state, USA. I am a stay at home wife.
