Just wanted to say congrats to those who have quit by vaping. Just reading it makes me happy. For those claiming it's as bad as smoking cigarettes... Shame on you! I can only assume you've never seen a dying loved one gasping for breath even on the maximum oxygen the hospital can give. How reckless and careless can you be?…

For the record, it's not the workout I have a problem with.. Move your little hearts out...... or your barely able to circulate blood through your body heart... whatever. It's the everybody must conform to us mentality, and the we are still healthy mentality... and the I'm going to get on my stupid yay scale and instead of…

Nothing short of spectacular!

This video strikes a nerve. I swear if I ever find out this crap is being promoted to my child, I will *kitten* pink twinkies. I have to wonder if these idiots have children. The lady on the left has to be crushing every organ she has and I'll be damned if I'm going to bow down to this nonsense and say it's okay. If…

what the hell did I just watch?

Most diabetics are way more sensitive to carbs. I'm not a big eater, but do fluctuate 20lbs, which can make a huge difference in my A1C numbers. I'm getting better at maintaining, but if my weight gets to low I will add more carbs. For the most part, I keep carbs to less than 100g per day. I looked at your diary and a few…

Laughing will keep you sane, especially when dieting. My young daughter once decided she was going to count calories like mommy does. She used an ink pen to alter calorie numbers on all her favorite snacks and tracked them in a notebook for a couple days. When I got a peek at it, she had herself eating snacks to the tune…

Hilarious! You know.... duct tape and a sharpie, we can all weigh whatever we want.

Maybe drink some of your calories?? I watch carbs because of diabetes and I don't always hit 1200 either but on workout days, I try to add in a protein shake to get more calories. If you're drinking them, you're less likely to feel stuffed. The shake I get from GNC is good for low carb diets. Sometimes I also think…

I have pcos and progressed to type 2 diabetes. How I got here baffles me sometimes as I've never been seriously overweight. I do fluctuate 20lbs because I'm not a big eater and so tend lose weight and then force myself to eat to put it back on which backfires a lot into putting too much back on. What I can tell you, for…

If my speedo shaming saves even one man from looking like a product used to clean a hoo-hoo, then my work is done.

My automatic thought is "douche canoe" when I see a dude in a speedo. The urge to let him know he's not half as pretty as he thinks is overwhelming. I read a study once that stated men generally rate themselves higher in appearance than women rate them, while women rate themselves lower than men rate them. For competition…

Isn't obesity considered a bigger danger to a person's health than smoking? Oh, and I'm sure we've all got a sucker from the doctor at some point for doing so well getting a shot. I think food rewards are fine as long as the food offered isn't extreme and we aren't offering it for good behavior (which should just be…

I've been lifting as heavy as I can for almost 4 months. I am a type 2 diabetic (well controlled) with pcos so I cannot tolerate carbs. Keeping carbs lower makes it hard to get more calories. I try to stay well under 150 carbs a day to keep blood sugar under control. If my weight gets too low, I up my medication and eat…

I get this... I'm trying to do better at eating more but still struggle. My biggest problem is I'm not hungry and I don't have foods that I really crave, so I literally just eat to survive. Last year I decided I was going to force myself to gain weight because I was under 100 lbs, wanted to gain 10 but gained 20 instead…

OP, I literally could have wrote your post word for word myself. I have tried to talk about it, but the defensiveness shuts me up quickly. It is very frustrating.

I have an open diary, but have only been logging here a few days, been keeping it in a notebook. I'm going to try to do better about putting it here. I am guilty of drinking too many calories, so I don't know how helpful mine would be. But I only have one friend, so add if you like.

That was my first post too after being on this site for a long time. I'm trying to learn and don't generally like message boards, but her and I are built so much alike, I wanted to. I am trying to lose 12lbs. She's a skinny apple which is the shape I've been battling my whole life, I'd be willing to bet, prior to losing…

I can't wait for replies to this........ I have super thin arms and legs and a 35 inch waist! I'm probably the perfect example of skinny fat. I've tried dieting because it doesn't matter if I'm 95 lbs or 115 lbs, I still have the belly that won't go away. For the past nearly 12 weeks, I've cut carbs, eating at almost my…
