time for a new trainer and your husband needs to watch the amount he is eating as well as what he is eating.

I've been type 2 now for almost 3 years. I did really well with a low carb diet and walking for exercise when first diagnosed. I also take 3 metformin a day. Sugars were awesome and doctor was super impressed.(I lost 57 lbs) I find I can't be as strict with diet on an ongoing basis and have gained 30 lbs back. The good…

Ok as folks have said use the provided training plan organizers do know what they are doing. Start lengthening your rides. On actual day-commando under padded women specific bike shorts is the way to go. No chafing.

ask a friend to watch you.

to get and firmly stay in the 170s. I was in there for a day or 2 in the last 2 weeks and I want to stay there (at least for now)

Biking will tone legs and butt.

something light today as I am sore from a lovely and vigourous cross country ski yesterday.

Weight isn't the only thing to measure. Have your measurements changed?

switch to a stationary bike or swim laps until the pain goes away

I think 130 at 5 8 may be too low of a goal.

since you understand stone you may be on universal healthcare. Have this discussion with your doctor who can look at your frame as well.

yes if you are on internet. I log on my work computer, my home computer and my Ipad. I never use my phone.

I am invited to a 65th birthday party. Dinner and a square dance. So I had to find a dress. Went closet shopping and YES a dress I made in 2012 fits.!

a day off could be a long walk or a gentle yoga class. A day off is good for the body. As for being addicted-perhaps do something with friends on your "rest" day.

Let your child motivate you-I see a high chair in the photo. You want to be able to keep up as they grow. Perhaps add a 1/2 hour walk daily pushing the stroller...

Stationary biking as ankle permits. Either buy a decnt stationary bike or a wind trainer for your real bicycle. Go fast with last little resistance-so little stress on ankle. Check with your Physio. Ask them what is ok to do.

Most pools have wheelchairs-to get from change room to and from pool. Ask your doctor if you can swim.

I shared my white chocolate hazelnut chocolate bar. I had 8 squares left and I broke it in 1/2 and gave 4 to a friend to have with our tea.

Ok invited to friends 65th birthday Feb. 24th. It's a trip back to see old friends and I want to look good so.... Want to be mid 170lbs by then you know 175 or 76.

Take the kids to a mall and walk around it. More steps if you just keep walking and don't go into stores.

Can you swim meanwhile? Front crawl and backcrawl both use feet in plantar flexion ie no stretch on your achilles/

make sure you are eating ENOUGH

set it at moderately active and see if you lose weight. If not set it at lightly active.

Exercise makes a huge difference. A recent study from UBCO-that's in BC showed 30 minutes of cardio lowered blood sugars that day and the next. Exercise lets the muscles absorb and use sugar without needing insulin. It's a webinar on End Diabetes Now-Canada's Diabetes.

You can track carbs in your food diary and it gives you a goal daily.

Train around the injury. Seated workouts. Work those arms and core. Rest the ankle and keep going to the chiro if that is working for you.

Try to not do TV every night. Do something else. A walk and talk together, get some of the housework out of the way, find a hobby, do the laundry, turn on some music and dance--break the sitting habit and I bet the snack habit will vanish.

I did not have a c-section and even though I was back at pre-baby weight-and normal BMI 1 year after the birth of my first my waist never went back to it's original size. You have a 27 inch waist. That may be as good as it gets for you-and that's damn good!

LOL It came up as Toronto but I eat at the one In Kelowna. They are actually all across Canada.

I've resumed logging food and exercise after about a year of not doing so. That's a victory for me-to be back at it!
