Hi I am a type 2 diabetic I found out in 2013 that I have it and used to have better control and now I am attending a weight management program and trying to make changes so my sugars go down. I am also dealing with quite high A1C and triglycerides. I am seriously trying to make better choices as I am already starting to…

Excellent! weight loss Kari I too love myself some goldfish! The cheesy blast flavor (idk the actual name haha) I can't put it down if its a big bag. I want to try to go shopping with my mom to see if I can pick out some of those individual snack items. I'm still under her roof though but trying to support myself, so I…

@kshama2001 exactly, I eat lightest at the beginning of my day then too heavy by the end of the night. Also I do find it hard to be completely accurate because sometimes MFP doesn't have the right measurements in their index. I am willing to measure my food, I just have to really push myself out of my comfort zone or…

Wow! Loving all of this feedback! I'm so glad I'm not alone in this fight! Thank you for your input!

Except that I give up on it and just eat too much

Also I do log everything but don't measure or weigh...I always just figure "eat a few things just once today then I should be good" but I know I am not logging according to exact amount. I probably don't even realize how big a serving size is...but I always try to eat just one thing at a time.

I would like to add more users but the profile links aren't letting me on your pages...is there a setting that I can change?

I'm sort of new to this too but its been a few months. I sometimes don't like the tracking, but I still do it

What helps you stay on track?

I love most of Portage and Kalamazoo, and I especially love the colors of the trees here. I am not ready for the snow.

Thanks for replying!

So far, I'm great today! I am getting a lot done just cleaning and organizing around the house which is quite a workout itself, and I got a workout in. Also, I have only done very light snacking today. It's 4:33 PM, and I still have a bunch of calories left to use.

I have been gaining and losing weight 3-7 pounds at a time. I wish I could stop this pattern. I am now at my highest weight. Please let me know what you do to stop snacking or binging.

Nice smile and eyes

Cute clothes and hair

Great hair

On Monday, I have a meeting to get my machine and learn how to use it and maintain it. They do a 10-month rental with a monthly fee which is partially covered by my insurance. I am excited to finally be sleeping better every night! It will be great that I am getting the same make and model that I liked during the sleep…

Thanks to all of you!

I skipped out on senior prom after what I felt like during junior prom. The girl who did my makeup put sticky glittery stuff on my eyelids. I also did not like shopping for the dress especially if it showed any skin such as my chest, arms, or back. The same thing goes today.

...looking in the mirror especially at the shopping mall fitting room when trying on clothes or a swim suit ...also i have to turn sideways in the shower otherwise my arms touch the sides! :embarassed: ...putting on socks, putting on shoes and tying them and losing my breath ...having my picture taken and looking at…

Now that I am home and without a CPAP, it is more difficult for me when I relax or lay down. My throat does not relax. I may still need the pressure adjusted.

The only con so far that I have about it is dry mouth or dry nasal passages.

I had the option of using the mouth device, but I already have a bite splint, and the technician showed me the CPAP mask she likes, and I tolerated the same one quite well.

When I woke up this morning, I felt very at ease. It seems like all the stress I was under during the last two or three days was lifted off my back and shoulders. The home care company is supposed to call or visit within 2 weeks of today. I will find out my results, and I will be all set up. I'm so glad I looked into this…

Not to mention the bed was super cozy, and I had my own pillow from home. What a great experience!

This actually went quite well! I slept like a baby, and the mask I chose was so comfortable. I can't wait to have my own CPAP at home. I am so glad I did this, and the technician said she got plenty of data for the doctor to look at. I should know my results in 5-7 business days.

I think I just need to suck it up and take in advice.

Glad you came back too

Friday is my birthday! I'll be 26. Posted twice sorry.
