You are doing great! Your post in my thread and your entire thread are quite motivating! Quitting soda is great! I had been drinking ONLY diet soda for well over a decade and two weeks after I quit cold (with no other change and no exercise) I had lost 15 pounds (I had a lot to lose though, FAR more than you I'm sure)! Your ability to do so much on the BBWC is very impressive (and I admit I'm a bit jealous ) keep it up! I also envy your crafting ability. I have tons of crafting hobbies that tend to just build up and I never start or finish any of them. =/ I look forward to seeing your success story posted on the main page!

Thank you! I think that will be best!

Last minute family issue, I hope you see this before the meeting, but I won't be able to make this one sorry! I hope you all have a good time.

Hello Resolved, welcome to the thread! I'm in! It's not too far of a drive.

Thank you Seth I will look into this! (And that was much faster than I thought!)

Anyone know of a good source for (I wish you the best, I think it might be impossible) a registered diabetic nutrition counselor who also specializes in "The Warriors Way" I am unsure of how to balance a calorie deficit, a (to me) ridiculous amount of protein intake all while maintaining a safe blood sugar level (since everything but fat turns into sugar at some point).

Hello all new members. I'd love to do a meetup sometime Hammlin.

I'm actually going to start that tomorrow. Today was interval. To me that is a very good Everest (and that is just 1 round not three) D: I have a lot of work to do! Thank you very much! This will really help a lot!

I know I should be comparing what I can do now to what I could do yesterday, but sometimes when I see what others are capable of it gets discouraging (knowing I may never reach that point). What can I do to overcome this?

Good! I could seriously use all the help and support I can get!

I'm pretty shy, and uncomfortable around new people but I am interested in weight training. What is the safest amount one could do (EVENTUALLY) solo? Edit: I'd also prefer to get as much self training in prior to joining a gym. I would hate to embarrass myself.

Hello, I'm me. I'm having a tough time getting started with the program. Lack of motivation and stuff. Most of the time it seems the alternative would be better. Any recommendations?

If you plan on trying for kids soon stick to boxers or boxer-briefs

New to NF, live in Thornton. Just saying hi and checking the place out.

WOW! I honestly wasn't expecting such a response! I thank you all very much! CrisciMalosh - I assumed grains were required to keep blood sugar in a HEALTHY high range (on the wave scale) I don't know much about paleo, but I've heard no carbs. I suppose I have more research to do. And it is a good thing the founder is such a picky eater, I might find good resources here for creating a diet that is healthy, but allows me to avoid foods I am allergic to. Elastigirl - I haven't yet checked out the angry birds plan, but I will now. I've been studying the beginner bodyweight a bit though already. I am doing quite well at avoiding the refined carbs, though my sugar intake is higher than it should be. (Slowly clearing out the old food rather than starting fresh, bad I know) At meals my carbs are slightly higher, +5g. But I've been trying to avoid some snacks (or snack healthier when needed). I've only been dealing with the new diagnosis for 3 weeks and the small diet changes and meds have helped out (along with a relaxed workout, 2 miles a day may not seem like much, but it is 2 miles more than last month). As annoying as the checks are (and as expencive as the supplies can be) I think I will monitor my blood sugar quite a lot more in the next few weeks. (Adding immediantly after meals and the recommended 2 hours after). andygates - thank you, I will give this a try for a while too. I have enough, but the lack of flavor isn't enjoyable, I will look for flavoring options soon (sugar and substitue free of course)

You are right, refined sugar is bad and can cause spikes, though it seems wheat (rather than white) is a healtheir option and avoids the spikes.

I've recently been diagnosed with diabetes which, other than the blood testing, is actually a good thing. It's given me a good reason to stop procrastinating. I want to lose a massive amount of weight (healthily) and increase strength. I'd love to start climbing someday. My probelm is Paleo isn't an option for me. At least not that I can see, besides being addicted to carbs (I've always preferred the healthier options) the diet my nutritionist gave me requires them as a staple of my diet. I am seriously overweight, so I don't need to "bulk up" to build the muscle, but is there any advice (diet, exersize routine, etc) anyone could offer a complete n00b?
