Feel free to add me!

Looking for more support as well, add me!

Staying under calories can def be a struggle sometimes! Adding you but if anyone else is looking for more support/friends feel free to add me as well!

My dog is crate trained and had good luck with it as a puppy. If you get a large crate they usually come with a divider to make the space smaller. Normally puppies won't pee/poop where they need to sleep so if you keep the area small and make it bigger as he grows it should work out. For the going to the bathroom thing I…

Bfast this morning! Spring mix, Boca breakfast scramble patty, eggs, bacon, kimchi, and guac. Orange Chicken for dinner last night with brown rice and peppers. Tonight is going to look very similar but Teriyaki instead :)

Great thanks!

Hi everyone, My name is Liz and I was just diagnosed with T2 last week. I guess I've known for a much longer time but I've been avoiding the dr like a plague. I have some issues with my legs and that brought me to the dr and well .. here I am. I'm currently taking 1500 metformin and will be starting Farxiga 5mg tomorrow.…

Ah sweet, thanks for the answers. With this list and such I'm not worried for him because we eat a lot of those items in our diet so I'm sure he's fine! Thanks again!

I enjoy doing that actually. I took a walking class (for phys ed) a couple years ago during college and had to go 3 days a week. By the end of the semester I was walk/jogging and I felt really good about it but I HAD to go so the motivation was there. I do want to end up back at that point again someday when I get the…

I am big into eating when you're hungry because I PERSONALLY feel that for MYSELF forcing myself to eat X amount of meals a day (even if I'm not hungry) is just as an unhealthy relationship with food as it was when I snacked mindlessly and over indulged on everything just because it was there. I also realized .. I had NO…

I was kind of confused about the comment in the video about having to take the calcium supplement. Serious question, is Dairy the only way to get calcium? Cause my boyfriend is Lactose intolerant and so we (I do if I want it, but not usually cause I feel bad eating it in front of him lol) don't eat dairy because of it,…

Thanks for the replies everyone and the tips! I'm glad to hear what I'm doing is good to start out with and not doing enough is just in my head! Hopefully i'll start feeling more motivated to do more as I get into the habit of this :)

How is it not sustainable? You're eating Vegetables, Protein, healthy fats, occasional treats, and making better choices. I think people get too caught up in the labeling of eating a certain way (paleo, atkins, low fat, weightwatchers, etc.) and that you have to follow every diet 100% to the T in order to be successful.…

Awesome job!

Thanks for all the answers, I appreciate the help! I know I should have something to do during the day to get me out of our room but it's just not possible right now. If I could get a job I would it would help on so many levels (mentally, money issues etc) but the job market where I live is pretty bad. Been here 3 years…

I'm sure that wherever you go there has to be a grocery store. Rotisserie chickens for salad (which you can also get salad stuff there so you aren't lugging around a lot of things or worrying about it going bad), fruit, nuts, veggies, jerky. Most convenience stores (and maybe some grocery?) have hard boiled eggs you can…

I'm also interested in lifting (I have almost 200lb to lose as well) but I realize that I won't be able to do it effectively until I can actually do the movements required (like the low squat). I'm starting out by doing a body weight routine and let me tell you I was surprised by what I COULDN'T do. The exercises I do are…

Relax first of all. You are stressing over something that has been happening for a long time, way before your time, and will probably still happen way after your time. It's going to happen whether you want it to or not and if you are stressing so much over it it's going to be a bad experience. You're doing this for…

My boy Bo (short for Bovine) a couple of days old. All grow'd up .. With his sister!

I would start slow. Don't change your ENTIRE diet over night. Incorporate small changes every week so that they become habits. Maybe start by just making one meal a day healthier, try to get 2 cups of vegetables in with every meal for a week, try to drink a certain amount of water every day for a week, add 10 minutes of…

I enjoyed this one when I start out with body weight exercises. http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/09/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/ The couch to 5k is good for the cardio training and was linked above so I won't link it again :D Good luck!

I'm allotted about 2000 calories to eat on a daily basis. I weigh over 300 lb. However I eat between 1200-1500 calories though usually more towards the lower end. Do I do it because I feel that if I eat less I'll lose more weight? No. What I eat happens to fall into that range. I'm not ruining myself by eating lower…

You just have to do it. There is no secret. You either don't want to buy bigger clothes and you get your butt in gear and do what you have to or you go get your shopping on. You need to figure out the reasons that will push you to do healthier things, no one can do that for you. Definitely read the sexypants guide it's…

I finally made a batch of Kale chips that I didn't burn a few weeks ago, but then realized I forgot to flavor them >.< .. They were okay, but I did get that bitterness thing going on which for me was hard to get past but it made me not eat all of them and my boyfriend actually was able to have some lol. He really liked…

I try to make omelettes all the time but I put so much stuff in them it never holds so I just have to do the scramble thing too! Whenever I make eggs that I have to mix up (scrambled or omelette style) I ALWAYS add hot sauce of some sort into it to spice it up. My usual go to for omelettes (or trying to make an omelette in…

OP. If you feel like eating this way is just too hard then it probably isn't for you. You're doing it for health reasons like you stated but there isn't anything unhealthy about eating whatever you want in moderation and in keeping with your calories & macros. You could still have your wendy's (or even try to make…

A scramble with an egg, onion, bell pepper, bacon, a couple handfuls of power greens (A mix of Kale, spinach, chard), and some homemade kimchi on the side.

Mmm pickles. I sometimes get those BIG jars of pickles, Mt. Olive I think, then use that said jar and some of the pickle juice for Pickled eggs or for marinating meat (I hear it's the secret to making an at home version of chicken nuggets that taste like ones from chick-fil-a)
