My Top 3 for Weight Loss
I'll preface by saying this works for ME. There's always going to some naysayers but I do me (And I lost 100 the last go round, and got lazy and gained 43 back over 3 yrs). So I'm back on track again and wanted to share. My Top 3.... 1) Portion Control: It means weighing, measuring, and logging. Is it a pain? Absolutely!…

REintroducing Myself
Howdy folks, My Name is Lee and I live near Charlotte, NC on Lake Norman. I've actually been an MFP member for MANY years (at least 10) and have just gone stagnant and got lazy after reaching my goal of 100 lbs lost. (I've since regained 43 back which is why I am returning.) When you have the tools, you have no excuse. You…

Type 2 Becomes Type 1 and Weight Gain. (Input needed)
Hi All, I've been dealing with a good bit of health issues lately and want some input of the latest hurdle. First a little background. I became a Type 2 Diabetic about 10 years ago and was able to manage it with diet and metformin. My (then) Dr said "If you would lose about 100lbs this will reverse itself and now is the…

You may think the Sugar is bad, and It…

Take a breath and think.... #Todays Eyeopener
Today, before you answer someones message and hit the send button. Ask yourself this: Is it respectful? Is it Factual? and most important is it Motivating?

How Ya Doing?? (The State of Mental)
There is alot to be said for one's mental state, when involved with weight loss, or physical fitness. While Anorexia, and Bulimia are very real disorders that require professional treatment. I'm more concerned here with Stress, Depression, and Sleep disorders. These three have been determined in many studies and reports to…

Do you read or Audio on Books?
Either way, Have you ever read the book "The Skinny Rules" by Bob Harper? It's not a fad diet, but has alot of good info I use. The two biggest "secrets" I took from it was: 1) Drink a tall glass of water before ANYTHING goes in your mouth. and 2) Eat PLENTY of protein, or stay hungry and grouchy. ( Thats a name of one of…

TYPE 2 Diabetes
If you are like myself and Type 2, then ALOT of the info on the web concerning diet and weight loss just won't help you. The "Gurus" today are more concerned with helping the healthy. I have written Dave Zinczenko <Men's Health>, Bob Harper <The Biggest Loser>, and Jillian Michaels<The Doctors>, and begged them to do some…
