DIABETICS AND DAILY CALORIES
I'm finding that it is very difficult to reach my calorie goals every single day. I've only been on this site for a week, but I have yet to eat all my calories. I'm wondering if this is because I'm diabetic, and must make sensible food choices when it comes to carbs, and therefore am not able to meet the…

LOW CARB...HOW LOW IS "TOO LOW"?
My partner is following a very, very low carb diet (and I'm talking like 10g and under per DAY). I don't think this is very healthy. She's getting a lot of fat and protein in her diet. How low is too low? I'm very worried.

DESPERATE IN NORTH CAROLINA
My weight is coming off in slivers at a time. Since March 28th, I have lost 8 measly pounds. My Mom joined a month ago and has lost 14, and she's 72!!! I'm drinking the water, staying under my calorie range, exercising nearly every day by riding my bike at least forty-five minutes a day, gardening, watching my carbs...and…

WAA WAA WHINY BABY
Another Friday Weigh Day came and went and I did not log my weight...AGAIN. I've been losing and gaining the same 2 pounds over and over and over again! For 8 weeks I have seen my weight go from 194 to 192 to 193.7 to 191.9 to 194.7 to 192.3 and on and on and on. I am certainly eating right. My blood sugars are normal. I'm…

TOTALLY EXHAUSTED
For the past three days I have been totally exhausted. Tonight I went to bed at 6pm and slept until 11pm, when I woke up still exhausted. I've had almost no energy for my garden, which I usually enjoy, and no desire to do anything else. My appetite has been fine and I haven't been over or under eating. I'm kinda thinking…

(Diabetic) *kitten* Up in the Garden
Anyone out there trying to lose weight who is also a backyard gardener? I'm Tracy. I'm trying to lose weight and also start a garden. I don't know why I associate these two things together, but I do. Anyway, I've got a small plot of land for a vegetable garden and will be starting it this weekend. Any tips would be most…

SKIPPING MEALS?
How does everyone feel about skipping meals? I ask this because often I wake up very late in the morning (10:30 or 11:00) and don't get around to eating until noon. On the days my spouse works, we eat dinner at around 5. Most often I don't eat a meal in between. Does this help or hurt? I follow a regular meal plan on the…

PSYCH MEDS THAT CAUSE HYPERGLYCEMIA
I'm having a hard time getting my blood sugars under control because of medications I'm taking for Bipolar Disorder: namely, Navane and Prozac. I am counting every single solitary carb that passes my lips and staying within (and often under) the allotted daily carb limit. Don't know what to do. Anyone out there have this…

WHEN DO YOU WEIGH?
I used to do a "Wednesday Weigh Day," but I'm finding that weighing on Friday seems to be the best. It gives you plenty of time to work off the previous weekend's screw-ups. What day do you weigh? Or do you weigh every day?
