Diet wise, I've tried to research and look at requirements and not eat too little. I try to get plenty of protein as I know that's important to feed muscles. I have diabetes so try to limit…

  • I have a FitBit One. I have found that I like to make sure I get to a required number of steps so that means I have to move more. The dashboard is good and clear and it does sync well with MFP.

  • Nicely put! :laugh: Unfortunately, I just have rolls of lard all over - butt, waist (what's that?), bust, legs, arms and any other bits I might have missed out! lol! Working hard on reducing them though!
