I'm not doing WW, just counting calories - so I can eat most anything. It's just a matter of spending an hour or so in the grocery store looking over things that I like or might like that are low in calories. My problem with the 100 calorie packs is that there is so little in there, it's not worth spending 100 calories. I got 2 kinds of 90 calorie bars today and I really like one of them - the other is just OK. I do like watermelon so I've been eating that. When I crave salty, I eat the 100 calorie bags of low fat popcorn.

Thanks Gayle!!! I'm heading to Wal Mart tomorrow to pick up a prescription so I'll check out the glucosamine. Still...I need to get the weight off. I did load up the IPad2 with foods that I eat on a regular basis so I won't have to add them later. You all have me so motivated at this moment...I hope I can keep it up. With using Lose It....what do you do when you go out to eat? Do you ask for their food information? I think most restaurants are suppose to have it if requested, but I'm not sure.
Diana...being on Atkins or South Beach is expensive at first I thought, but gets better as you go along. Good luck to you....I hope you can get yourself healthier, I don't want anything happening to you.

There are some restaurant foods on Lose It, but not many. When I eat out, I try to choose something like grilled chicken or something that I know the calorie count - grilled chicken is about 50 calories per oz and 4 ounces is about the size of the palm of your hand. If I have a grilled chicken sandwich, I know a small bun will be 120 and a large one 150. It will have some mayo - so I usually scrape some off and count 40 calories. Usually I just sorta wing it when we go out.

Diana, I'm glad to know that you started Adkins - I think you will do really well and it will help your blood sugar.

I've been on it for a couple of days and have done really well with it but my blood sugar isn't showing any change........it's still high. I'm not sure what's going on but at least the doctor will be checking me again in a week or so.

You may not be on enough medication. You may need a higher dose. Try taking a 15 or 20 minute walk and see what happens with your blood sugar.
