I have worked out my entire life, ran a marathon and am getting ready to cycle for the MS 150 from Houston to Austin, TX. I just bought the Jillian Michaels (Biggest Loser trainer) DVD and it's awesome. She doesn't scream and yell and she has three levels of 20 minute workouts that mix cardio, strength training and Abs. I've done it each workday for 1 week and can already see the toning happening. You're supposed to be able to "Lose up to 20 pounds in 30 days!" :) Good luck to you!

I need some support to keep moving. I have walked off quite a bit of weight and now need some more motivation.. so help is more than welcome.

Hi all! Here for moral support - both receiving and giving. I controlled my type 2 for 20 years after my last pregnancy with diet and exercise, maintaining an 80 lb weight loss for 5 years until a stressful job and a water leak in my house helped me eat my way into sorrow and comfort, gaining it all back again. After turning 40, and having high bp and heart disease, I'm on Byetta and Metformin, and trying desperately to stop the damage I've left go on for the past 10 years. Here's to a realistic New Year's resolution of trying to be good!

rofl *tuning in to Debe's world*

Debe, that's one reason I discussed a sliding scale insulin with my doc - there are 9 kids in my mother-in-law's family, with 6 of them living within a 60 mile radius of each other (and Granny B, dh's grandma). We're talking 60+ folks at Thanksgiving sometimes, and about the same at Christmas... They are all wonderful cooks - and queso and chips figure prominently as snacks because everyone is always hungry - and I told my doc I couldn't possibly go and NOT eat dessert of some sort... upside down german chocolate cake, banana pudding, homemade pumpkin bread - you get the picture, right?

I promise to put up with you if you promise to put up with me... Is it a pact - and do we gotta swear on blood (being you're Italian)? *giggling*

*hugs*
Melissa

PS: You know that filled ribbon candy they sell at Christmas, and the little valentine hearts in February? Um yeah... payback time will come... you'll have to put up with me then, as I'm determined not to touch them. hahahaha

Nah - I've had to use some shoulders myself, Debe... and the biggest thing I've learned is that everyone needs someone to lean on for support, no matter the circumstances, sweetie. If you ever need me, I'll be here...

Thanks Melissa,
Your shoulder may get awefully tired holding me up.(LOL)
