^^^This.. scrubbing and or peel a veggie does NOT remove pesticides or herbicides.. just removes dirt, and as many have said.. dirt wont kill you..a good soak and wipe down with a new sponge and your good to go :drinker:

I have noticed alot of ppl use it in their protein shakes... really you can do just about anything with it... I tried it in my coffee but didnt like it... more due to the visual of it.. it looks grainy in the coffee and so in my coffee I use light vanilla soy milk

hun, trust me when I say you are NOT to big for the gym!!! My best friend started at a higher weight than you and she goes to the gym... at the end of the day you have to do what feels right for you!!! Also hi from America... I have a sister who has lived in The Netherlands fora lil under 20 yrs now...

why would you eat back your cals burned during sex anymore than cals burned during a walk or jog or anything else??

^^^this... I am diabetic and no I cant live a sugar free existence.. all it makes me want to do is over indulge which is much worse than enjoying a some sugar from time to time.. its all about portion control and making sure that whatever you indulging in is something so yummy that you feel its worth it.. and no thats not…

I think what the OP was trying to say was.. just the fact that she KNOWS whats in milk now makes it a turn off... I myself have stopped drinking dairy milk except in my cereal... and thats maybe once a month.. I do eat cheese and yogurt and other dairy products but I only drink soy milk now..why?? just because I enjoy the…

I have been craving pancakes for over a week..but I am also diabetic and so I stay away from them... just did the numbers on these... if you make it into 2 servings... Calories-134...carbs-16...protien-7...fiber-2 going to get the bananas today and just got a pint of blueberries so I might add in a few of those as well!…

YES!!!! I had the Korean bbq one and it was amazing!!! I cant wait to try more!

Yes ugh water is another problem... pre-Victoza I could drink a gallon a day but now.. I barely drink 5 or 6 cups.. gonna try flavored water today and see if that helps... thanks!!!

This I have to try.. I have been dying for some lemon meringue pie!!! but being diabetic I limit very carefully what carbs I eat.. this sounds perfect!!! :drinker:

I just started Victoza just over a week ago.. dropped 9 lbs in the first week but also nausea, and lots of fatigue... I have decided to stick with it after reading alot of ppl saying that the side effects tend to wear off in abt a month... today is the first day I have not needed to take a nap!!! and have eaten somewhat…

Thank you so much for sharing this.. and congrats on the A1c drop and everything.. I just had to start Lantus and Victoza.. in addition to metformin and now reading your story I know I can beat this... !!!!:bigsmile:

Has anyone had any experience with Victoza or know someone who has??? The sleepiness has continued for the most part and yesterday I was sick to my stomach all day... will this go away???

[/quote] Awesome idea... I took some before pics and was horrified at what I really look like.. I started mfp at 294, lost 18 lbs in a bt 61 days but then due to the side effect of a new medication I was put on for my diabetes, I gained back 5.. now another med has been added for my diabetes that also aids in weight…

It will also depend on a persons weight.. I am very over weight so when walk 5 miles I burn around 1200 cals... as my weight has started to come down I have to either walk further or faster for the same results.. also some day I do cardio aerobics for 30 - 45 mins then walk a few miles.

some awesome good news... with the added Victoza and re added in metformin and of course the Lantus, my numbers are fabulous...I am having the minor side effect of frequent urination which I dont mind, (just have to remember to drink plenty of water... but I am also extremely tired for the past 2 day (since started the…

ugh dr appt from hell... I gained 5 pounds after losing 18... dr increased my lantus to 25 from from 20 and also added victoza, he said it will help alot with my weight loss as well as help bring down my A1C number.. which is at 9.7 as of March...oh and yeah he finally let me know I should continue taking my metformin 1000…

I met my girlfriend on a dating site as well, funny thing is I wasnt on there looking for anything.. a friend of mine was on the site and asked me to come on..(its a dating chat site) so I was like, eh why not... My girl n I have have just celebrated our 6th anniversary together.. 5 1/2 of them living together.

today is my appt and as most here said, I am sure they will up the units I take, as the amout I am taking not has not put much of a dent in my numbers, I am also making sure to ask about if I should take either one or both of the pills I was taking before..I still cant bring myself to do the injection myself but my gf does…

I would say jot down what you are having, with the estimated (weight, cups, ozs) and when you are back home go ahead and log it it... of course its always best to have an exact to put in but in my opinion if all you can do is estimate thats better then nothing.. I dont have a scale so 1/4 of what I log is based on…

this^^^.. this was the most important and best thing I have learned!!! Also that you dont need a gym membership to lose weight!!! I have lost 18 lbs so far with walking outside, dance workouts and light strength training at home.

I kinda end up with the opposite problem.. very over weight but I have lost 18 lbs so far and in 51 days.. I work out 6 days a week and always pay attention to what and how much I eat.. I also never deny myself because I have learned in the past that when I do I end up binging on all the worst things... So if I go out to…

Now Im feeling so confused.. I have neen taking the Lantus every night, only 20 units, and I know it will need to be adjusted... I was stupid.. I didnt ask the dr if I was supposed to stop take the metformin and junivia but the way he said it all sounded like I was being SWITCHED to Lantus... I have an appt with him on…

For everyone having the issue with insurance not covering enough or anything for your test strips, here is what I do... I go on ebay.. always purchase brand new and never had a problem.. my insurance will only cover 50 strips a month and thats not enough to test even twice a day for the full month.. I usually pay between…

First off, congrats on beating the cancer!!!! Secondly, yes I have looked into treating my diabetes without meds but at the same time I am scared.. I do look into foods and herbs that help with glucose control and will be trying to add them into my diet and am eating way less processed foods now.. I love being in the…

Oh I exercise everyday, at least 30 to 45 mins a day... added to that is walking at least 5 miles a week... I just came back from a 5 mile walk now... I have heard thatr some ppl need to eat a bit more carbs in the evenings that usually due to getting low sugars.. so far I have done 2 injections and each day my sugars are…

Thanks so much guys, for the info and the support!!! I wont lie, I was freaking out yesterday when I was at the dr... part of it being my fear of needles... I thank God its only 1 a day and is at bedtime as my girlfriend can do it for me til I feel comfortable doing it myself..I am feeling much better about it this…
