OMG!
Just checked my blood sugar and it is 110, 2 hrs after lunch! I haven't ever been able to get it below 130! Yay...huge win for me! Question though...I literally just finished an aeorbic workout and tested immediately...I know exercising can help lower your numbers, but how quickly? I figured it was just a long-term…

what's your favorite comfort food?
I thought it would be fun to share our favorite comfort foods...AND tell how we could make them healthier! I'll go first...mine is chicken noodle soup and cheese dip. I am diabetic so have to watch my carbs...the chicken noodle soup isn't TOO bad, but has lots of sodium. I've tried the low-sodium broths and am TRYING to…

diabetes...eating healthy but can't get my #s down!
I've had diabetes for several years...have always taken Metformin, didn't worry about checking my blood sugar regularly, and ate pretty much whatever I wanted. Until NOW. I HAVE to get it under control. So I've recently made drastic changes to my diet, and starting testing my blood sugar again, and am shocked to see that…

how often do you eat?
This past week, I have been STARVING! I'm eating healthy and staying under my 1400 calorie goal, but I'm hungry every hour&a half! I've been doing MFP for months now, but literally just in the past 3 or 4 days I'm hungry ALL the time! My breakfast this morning was a bowl of oatmeal, an apple, a big multigrain cracker and…

? re: starting 30day shred
I keep hearing great remarks about the 30day shred and want to try it, BUT....I am totally out of shape. I walk every once in a while, but that's pretty much the extent of my exercise. Would the 30day shred absolutely kill me if I tried it? LOL

too much fiber?
Is there such a thing as getting TOO MUCH fiber? Just curious...so far today I've had an apple, some nuts and a whole grain tortilla, and I'm already over my daily fiber requirement....

length of exercise ?
I've just recently started exercising with a stair-climber, so I can only do 5 minutes or so at a time, then I need to rest my legs. My question is, if I do it in "sets" 5 minutes at a time, does it matter how I enter the exercise into my diary? If I do 20 minutes total, vs. four 5-minute workouts? Just curious...

nuts as a snack
Nuts are supposed to be a great snack choice, but if I have nuts I almost always go over my fat goal! I know it's the "good fats" but still... On the days I go over my fat allowance, I tell myself "it's ok b/c I had nuts today"...?
