I love all different beers! Sadly, my blood sugar doesn't. So I drink Miller Lite...a lot of it. On a hot day, nothing tastes better than an ice cold beer! And if it's really hot, those craft beers just make me feel blah. A light beer goes down nice and easy. So does the next one. LOL I say, as long as you are still…

Amen to that!

Saw this and got all warm and fuzzy... You have to be in, from, or have been to Pittsburgh at some point to truly appreciate this!

Hey! Feel free to add me, too! I've been Type 1 for 16 years...and for most of those years I was overweight. I always ate what I wanted, and just took more insulin. Recipe for disaster, right?! Finally, a few years ago, I had a moment. I was getting ready to go out and meet friends, and nothing (I mean nothing) I put on…

You have gone through some horrible things, and are still standing...tall!! You should be proud that you survived and can now be the very best version of yourself! MFP is an awesome place to find friends to help you and support you on your journey. You can absolutely add me, and I will cheer you on!

Feel free to add me, as well! I'm type 1. Have been for about 16 years. Always, always struggling with weight! It would definitely be nice to have some other diabetic friends...we can all encourage each other!! Just know that it's always going to be a battle, and do the best you can every day. If today sucked, well, when…

I love beer! But, since I have diabetes, not all beer loves me. I usually drink Miller Lite. 96 calories/3.2 carbs. For the carbs, I can have 5 beers or a sandwich. Um...I'll take the beers! And sometimes, when I'm on the treadmill or elliptical, I'm watching the calories burned, and figuring out how many beers I can have…

Fabulous!!!

I felt that way too! Especially at the gym. I thought people were looking at my treadmill thinking "She's ONLY running at 5.2?" But then I thought, hey, whatever! At least I'm trying... And I'm kicking everyone's butt who's sitting at home on the couch! I have run several 5k's and even a 10k (not super fast, mind you). But…

That is awesome! I love, love, love Diet Pepsi. If there's Diet Coke, I can pass it up no problem. I'm struggling to limit myself to one can/day. Some days I don't have any at all...not often, though. But there are certain foods where I just feel like I need a pop! LOL Jealous of your success! :)

Diet soda does not affect your blood sugar the way regular soda does. I have Type 1 Diabetes, and if that were the case, I would be injecting multiple units of insulin every time I drank a can. Which is about 1 or 2 a day. Some people claim it makes you crave sweeter things, but honestly, I think it's different for…
-
You can do it!! Just because they don't need to lose weight, doesn't mean they should be eating junk. You can be thin AND unhealthy! Focus on YOU and YOUR health. Every time you see them eating junk, think to yourself, "I'm glad I'm not shoveling that garbage in MY mouth!" Tell yourself "I bet they feel like crap after…

Coffee is a MUST for me! I don't care for it black, so I usually use low fat or fat free Coffeemate, and a packet of Splenda (10 cal/TBSP). Recently, I've been using the Coffeemate Natural Bliss Low Fat Vanilla (20 cal/TBSP). Delicious, and I don't need the Splenda. I say as long as you aren't getting frappaccino's from…
-
^This!^ Any of these! Or how about something like 'Free Mike!'
-
People will always debate this topic. I can see how it's bad for you. I can see how it isn't. However, I have Type 1 Diabetes, so there's no risk of me getting Type 2 from drinking diet pop. LOL I enjoy a can just about every day. Sometimes 2 cans. Been doing it for years, as it IS my alternative to water or tea. Sure I…
-
I have several! If you have to wear one every day, why not have options? Anyway, I've bought a bunch over the years. And I guess it depends on what style you like. I've had the generic stainless steel ones, the rubbery sporty ones, even a necklace or two. But the most recent site that I've found, that has reasonable prices…
-
Don't be disgusted with yourself!! You can be disappointed, but not disgusted. It's not an easy road for anyone, but you did it before and you can absolutely do it again!! You didn't lose it over night and you didn't gain it back over night. So it'll take time. Just be patient, and set small goals...make lifestyle changes.…

I use a fat free creamer, and a packet of Splenda. Can't get used to black coffee, and being a diabetic, the Splenda gives it just enough sweentess. I've tried all the sugar free fat free flavored creamers, but they don't ever live up their expectations.
-
Mongolian veggie sounds deelish!!! Whatever you get, enjoy it!! :)
-
I guess it would depend on what kind of broth you are having. Spicy? Not spicy? I LOVE hot pot! We spent 2 years in China, and brought hot pots home. We make it all the time! Enjoy!!!

-
Great post!! So very true!
-
I ordered the 30 DS on Amazon, and have had it a few months now. I've been going to the gym, and haven't even tried the DVD yet. But reading these posts and awesome stories, makes me want to try it! I guess I just have to pick a day and start! Thanks for all the tips and info! Love MFP!
-
So awesome! Super positive!!
-
You can add me too! Having lots of friends to help you on your way is awesome! :smile:

Don't be embarrassed. At least you're being honest with yourself. It's hard to eat right when all the stuff that is so bad for you, tastes SO good! It's hard to go to the gym, when you're already feeling like crap, and comfort food is calling your name. Don't dread going to the gym. You don't have to go and work out so…
-
I added you, too!

32 now, diagnosed at 17...Type 1. (Currently taking Humalog and Lantus.) At first, I gained about 20 pounds. Just didn't care much, and loaded up on insulin to eat whatever I wanted. A few years ago, I really started feeling bad about myself, and tried to diet. A long, hard road and weight loss was slooooow. I was finding…
