Rose: Congrats Rose i'm sure you must feel great.We had a few pounds added also so were avoiding all white flour,and sugar.We love our sweets the holidays were brutal.

Mary Jo: Hey thanks Mary Jo i think i'll try that.I'm a junk eater big time but i'm lucky so far weight wise for now.

nobleheart: Not all ppl are overweight do to eating.

AbigailII: Your Pancreas produces insulin.Your body doesn't absorb insulin unless your on insulin.Yes being over weight is a factor of Class 11 Diabetics so is genetics.Eating high fats and alot of sugar can make you over weight.Eating alot of sugar per se does not cause you to become diabetic.

Rose: I agree with some of what you say the key is moderation.
You don't become diabetic from eating too much sugar,the key there is your pancreas and whether your producing insulin.
My granmother has sugar and was having alot of migranes.I went over her diet and found way too much of the so called diet sugars.She now uses NO diet sugar in her coffee or cooking.Her Migraines are gone since we changed her diet.Splenda is also in the diet sugar group but they say it's raw sugar.

Yes i know i can't spell.lol

Thats great keep up the good work.

I did some searching and found nothing,now this drove me nuts.My husband took a can of mushrooms out of our cupboard and there it was.lol......Mushrooms have Vit C D and Iron in them it was in black and white in front of me.lol

Don't give up hang in there it takes time.Never miss a meal or you;ll over eat at dinner.I keep a bowl of veggies with a low carb yogurt handy .

OMG i'm due Nov 27 lol.A cannolli is a round hard shell with Ricotta cheese in it,the cheese has sugar ,vanilla,cherries,and bits of choc.We usually make them but i haven't lately,i buy the shells already made.Now don't tell my Gram on me.The cheese can be low fat and sugar free,but you got to leave out the choc and the cherries.

Well i didn't pig out like i thought i was gonna.Guess just knowing i could of i didn't.My Gram had a huge Salad and a big veggie tray with yogurt for a dip.I did eat a cannolli but i'm not gonna beat myself up because of it.I'm doing good i've only gained 16 lbs. and have 3 months to go.
Doing great on my water but the more i drink the more this baby kicks lol.I should mention that dinner was today at my grams she has a chance to go to the casino tomorrow and play bingo.

Cheer up everyone has a day they fall off.My day is gonna be Sunday were going to my Grams for dinner.That means Pasta,Pasta and i'm gonna eat it.
Just make up for it today and smile.

Nothing to it,we have a home delivery for Spring water,we just cut up all the fruit and add it to the water.

Musiclover i drink 1 per cent milk and lots of it but i tend to go more for yogurt.
I use the yogurt for a dip so does my 6 yr old she loves it.I also freeze it for a cold snack.

I'm into making my own flavored waters with oranges,limes and lemons.NO sugar. Now if this baby would get off my bladder lol.I'm into my 6 month and eating healthy but keeping my weight down.I find if i drink water with my meals it helps.I crunch on raw veggies at night for a snack.

Thats great Musiclover keep up the good work.

I found this article very interesting,so i now get the newsletter.This is a Dr.who has this site.

I'm just trying to keep my weight down for now.A comment on Splenda it has alot of side effects,one is headaches.I'll have to post the site where i got the info from.Did find a sugar-free wheat bread that i like,but the price almost knocked me over $2.99 for a small loaf.It's the white flour and sugar that i need to keep away from.
Pasta is my biggest problem i just got to have it,anyway i can get it.lol.....

Well i blew it not only did i have my pasta but the Canolli to.I hate scales and never use them.Now of course i get weighed in at the Drs.
I'd be worried about the Atkins alot of ppl gain the weight back.As in any diet you'll lose fast first than hit a slow rate.It's your body adjusting.

musiclover no thats pic is me eating ice cream.lol
but is before i got pregnant,i'm pretty lucky with my weight and i'm trying to keep it under control.
i heard of wheat and etc pasta i'll have to try them.:( being italian and raised on white flour it's going to be hard.i can just picture my granmothers face now lol.

I'm a big carb eater i crave the carbs.Just got to have the pasta and bread.Any suggestions anyone?

I can't really diet at the moment but watching a food program i found this very interesting.
Use lettuce as your bread for a tuna sanwhich just use the big leaves.Same for a BLT or a Cheeseburger.Works for me and fills me up.lol Not for long tho.

Thanks Linda i eat pretty healthy but man those cravings do me in.The water with meals does work.

Throw away food...lol Just send it my way.

Thanks Chattytea.I'm one of the lucky ones had a problem of being too skinny lol.......Thats just as bad i guess.Right now i'm holding at about 4lbs a month got 6 too go.It's the cravings like sweets,carbs are my biggest problem.I can live on Macaroni with meatballs all week.Got my hubby keeping an eye on me but he works nights so i wake up hungry.lol I can't go walking or excercise since i'm in a high risk,more bed rest and only allowed up to go potty.lol.......and to the fridge.

I'm hungry all the time and get up during the night to eat.Haven't gained much since i'm only in my third month and i'd like to keep it that way.
