Sounds like a fun weekend! Hopefully won't be too hot.. this darn heat wave sounds like it's going to hit most of the nation next week... ugh!!! And WTG on the C2K and 10K... you're doing great!!! I wouldn't know what to do with myself if it was any day but Friday today, haha!

did everybody get busy? :)

bump, just got some and can't wait to try them!!!

Love both of those ideas! Especially making in the micro and not heating up the whole house! Never tried to bake a cake in the micro!

My corporate headquarters are in Beloit, so I'm there pretty frequently! I love DC... I can't wait to get up there again! I just wish we could go more often, but things get so expensive!! It helps that we camp though, so no hotel fees! We;re doing a fish boil at White Gull Inn this time too... I've done them other places,…

That is awesome! So how did you do it.. what did you have to cut out and what types of changes did you make to your diet/exercise routines?

Also check out this thread.. have met and made some awesome friends who are also diabetic... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/184272-type-ii-diabetics-let-s-support-each-other

I'm diabetic too (type 2) and would love to chat with others who are as well!

I know! We're supposed to help my sweetie's dad next weekend with an endurance ride (horses) but unless the parks reopen by Monday, it's going to have to be cancelled... UGH! I grew up like 40 min south of where she lives, crazy eh? :) Do you ever get up to WI.. where in IL are you? We're going to Door County for Labor Day…

I know! I used to go there all the time when I was a kid! But I don't get home as often to visit my parents as I'd like and when I do.. there's just not a lot of time to do that kind of stuff :( And we don't have one where I live now :(

It's sllllllooooooooooooooow here too! Must be cus it's Friday and we all have itch to get out!!! I feel so much better today after the iud yesterday.. but u know what? I would do it again... I hope it all works out for me!!! Ooh, roller skating, I used to LOVE that! Too bad we don't have a rink close to us... :( And it's…

hey there, just PM'd you! :)

Thanks again to all for the tips... had the iud put in today had some cramping.. actually a lot of cramping, but not like shooting pain or anything... just like a constant cramping and pressure... laid down most of the day with the heating pad and slept some and that helped. doc prescribed something to dilate me prior to,…

They are YUMMY and do keep my fuller longer, but yes, as everyone else has said, the gas, oh man! Don't eat more than one or you'll have major issues! :) Also, I actually prefer the Fiber Plus bars over the Fiber One.. less carbs to begin with (I'm diabetic) and the same amount of fiber and actually tastier to me! And I…

I love it too!!! Facebook, what's that? ROFL! :)

bump

I feel the same! Hopefully we get a lot of great suggestions on here! My clothes are loose in my thighs/butt but still (well not-as well) fit in the stomach area....

bump, yummy!!!

Which one did you try, paraguard or mirena?

Thanks for your input! Stinks that it didn't work for you!! :(

Aww, that's too bad!!! What are you using right now?

Which one are you going with? Or haven't you decided yet? Are you on any BC now?

Which one did you like better and why? And what kind of side effects did you have? If you don't mind me asking of course :)

I appreciate your post, but have done plenty of research on all types of BC and didn't just pick this one randomly. And i never stated in this post whether or not I have decided to have children in the future, just because I haven't yet doesn't mean I want to ever. I've been on BC pills for years and the side effects of…

Did you take any painkillers before or anything to dilate your cervix?

bump, great post!

There are some others out there that are lower calories too... Fage Total 0% is one of my faves and ranges from 120-150 calories. Chobani is super creamy and is 140 calories. And I just tried Athenos and is only 100 calories and that's good too!!!! So you've got some other options. I actually use the plain as a new sub for…

Also, any fellow diabetics out there with IUDs? Any side effects?

bump - great post!

Thanks everybody for the input... I'm still so nervous!!! I do have a pretty decent tolerance for pain, but this is all new to me. But I love the points you gals give.. think of the benefits over the long run versus temporary pain.. Did any of you have any issues with it not working and getting pregnant or with it coming…
