Are you eating the fruit alone, or with your meals? I seem to have much better luck controlling the spike if i have the fruit with some fat and protein.

Week one complete, day 3 was a little easier than day 2. Thanks for all the encouragement. =)

that's so great, thanks for sharing!

W1D2 in the books, but holy cow I am scared of week 2...i can do the w1 jog time, but seeing next week's goal is scary...

that's the question i have too

Glad you found us! The hardest step is the first one, after that it gets easier. I'm a procrastinator too, lol. Anyhow, welcome =)

Monday morning, after showering, in underclothes. I have found that given pretty consistent diet from day to day, my weight still fluctuates within a 3-4 pound range over about a 3 day cycle, so it's much less depressing for me to just see longer term.

Welcome! i'm from so cal...great work!

1. when do you feel the sexiest? when I'm having se....er, yeah...well then, and also when non-intimate lady friends tell me I look cute and smaller! 2. my favorite colors are? Blue, grey, teal. 3. when i reach my goal weight, i want to.. Buy new clothes and burn the big and tall crap, lol. 4. my favorite way to lose…

heck yes!

I'd like to be able to decide whether i like clothes in the store based solely on whether I like them, not whether they're offered in extended sizes. I'd like to be able to participate in things like elementary school jog-a-thon with my daughter. I'd like to know that my journey and story will someday inspire others,…

Keep up the good work everyone! Kristy, your enthusiasm is infectious =) Would love some more fitness pals - add me!

I actually did W1D1 tonight before I found this thread...It was tougher than I thought, but i was able to complete it. I just used my watch, i need to figure out which app i want to use on my android. I think w2 will be M-W-Saturday, with brisk walks on tuesday and sunday, but since i started on tuesday this week, I'm…

Welcome!

1. Starches (pasta/bread/rice/potato chips/fries/etc). Once 75% or more of my diet. Sooooo not good for a diabetic, lol. 2. Unmoderated Bacon consumption. Now if i want a piece of bacon, i find myself weighing whether it's worth the calories - and there is no way I am going to adjust my diet to eat more than one, i'll…

Nonpracticing gamer here... Been gaming since I was in early kindergarten (Atari 2600, Colecovision) Gaming really took off for me on the Commodore 64, and then became a lifestyle when Nintendo Entertainment System came out. PSone, sega saturn, dreamcast, turbografix16, snes, n64, gamecube, ps2, ps3, wii...i think the only…

for breakfast i generally have a wrap or a breakfast burrito. Both using Mission Carb Balance tortillas (they have a ton of fiber, and taste almost exactly the same.) when I have a wrap, it's turkey (2oz) and a dash of shredded cheese (half a serving, or 0.5 oz) and some deli mustard. When i have a breakfast burrito, it's…

hi Nellie, I'm Chris...welcome! All of them are good for you really, but some should be eaten with caution. You can't eat a couple of bananas and expect your sugar not to spike...things like apples, strawberries, pears, peaches, kiwi are things that I try to mix in with my diet, along with avocado. What I found worked well…

I think we've all been there at one point or another - I know I have been guilty of not taking it seriously and ignoring my heath rather than deal with the emotional aspect of living with it. You can do it, and while it's not always sunshine and lollipops, you will feel so much better emotionally/mentally as your work…

Welcome! I love using MFP, it's quick and easy. Glad you found it!

Good morning, how's everyone doing? past 30 days - average fasting glucose is 110. I'm pretty excited about that. =)

I'm a pretty big fan of sliced cucumber and salsa or queso dip, or a little pepper, or a little fat free dressing...

Not questioning your reasoning. You're absolutely right to take your stand against artificial whatevers. For me, there's so much "artificial" in my life that an ounce or 2 of mio a week is nothing. As to the original question, there's nothing in mio that makes the water you put it in no longer water.

Giggling a bit... Dihydrogen Monoxide is also known as H2O, better known as water...

I love love love Berry Pomegranate MiO, even just a couple drops makes my water so much more palatable.

The quitting is easy, the random cravings kind of suck though...I quit for about 14 months after my divorce, then started again for no really good reason, so I'm pretty confident this time around. Don't need it, don't want it. My injections aren't so bad, it's just one a day - based on my average fasting BG for the 3…

Free Beer Chicken Strips Peanuts (not because i can't, just didn't need) Staying home and relaxing - therefore, I'm off to take a walk =)

Yay, I'm in! Fun times!

Hi everyone, I've been type 2 since about '99, never really controlled, just skating the line between bad and worse. I posted more about my story at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/242990-well-hi-diabetic-and-wanting-to-live Anyhoo, my fasting bg has stayed below 130 for the last 5 weeks with only a couple…

Thanks Everyone =)
