Advice on food needed
Hello, I was diagnosed last week. Right now I'm on Metformin once a day, and will move to 2x per day Thursday. My BG is up and down. 98 one reading, 134 the next. Up at 164 this morning!!! I know I can't gain control in one week. I've been wonderful about sticking to my calorie limit and getting exercise. I'm wondering…

1660 calories a day seems like a lot
Hi all. I've set my goals at losing 1lb per week, and my calorie allotment is 1660 per day. That seems like a lot. What do you think? I'm not eating all of them PLUS I'm earning another 200-300 from walking each day. To eat them all seems like a LOT of food!

I have a great support network and good healthcare. But I'm still reeling - it's an extremely stressful week and this diagnosis didn't…

Dear Scale
Dear Scale, You are a useful tool but you are a tricky liar. I've been under my calorie goal everyday for 10 days. I've been doing aerobics 3x per week. My underpants come up to my ribcage. My pants are loose. But you say I gained 2 lbs since last week. I think I'll listen to my underpants. Sincerely, Me

New to My Fitness Pal
Hello All, I'm not new to weight loss, but I am new here! I had great success on Weight Watchers, and lost 19lbs last spring. But the cost kept me from renewing, and I gained it all back in the year since. A good friend turned me on to My Fitness Pal. I'm determined to get myself healthy this time around. I'm a working mom…

Stay Positive!
Hello all, I see a lot of women use such harsh language about themselves. Words like shame, guilt, bad, wrong, etc. I want to encourage everyone here to use only positive language about yourself and your weight loss or health goals. When we berate ourselves, we start a negative swirl of emotion that's hard to stop. Try to…

Reentering my starting weight
Hi all, How do I change my starting weight? When I signed up I guessed. But I actually weigh 2 lbs more, and when I lose those 2 lbs I want credit for it! Anyone know? Thanks!
