    I'm sorry if this sounds ignorant, but what is a "Mama'er"? This is a new term for me on the forums and I'm all confuzzled.

    Yes. I just use MFP to make sure I'm not constantly over doing calories

    Hi! Funny you should ask - I just received their cookbook for Christmas, but I have never heard of them before and do not own their original book. They touch on the basics in their cookbook (and I haven't read it all yet, so maybe I'm still missing some things) but I still don't really understand the whole concept. And I'm hesitant to spend my own money on another book just to make my cookbook make sense. Thoughts?

    There is a very large Facebook group that has files that can help you understand the basics without buying the book right away. There is a blog "Gwen's nest"that has a great QuickStart guide that many find helpful. I admit there is a bit of a learning curve, but it works.

    There is a plan called trim healthy mama...she just means someone who follows that plan (mama'er)

    I've been on plan since November, hoping to improve my health but the weight dropping off is a huge bonus!

    Just started on Jan. 4th. I log my food sometimes because I get confused what the meal ends up being. Anybody want to buddy up?

    I'd love to be friends with any of you Trim Healthy Mama participants that have responded here. I apologize greatly that I didn't get back with you sooner than this. January has been very crazy. And yes, the "Mama'ers" was just my way of asking if any out there on MFP that uses it more of a guideline for your day. That's what I do, besides keep up with recipe creations and macro nutrients. Just send me a friend request if so. Thanks Steadmn (Lori)

    Mdlowrance, I do follow the Facebook page and indeed it is HUGE! I love Gwens_nest.com ! Her QuickStart guide was a huge help and I'm still learning! Steadmn

    Caitlin, that's great! Are you doing it now? The plan can be overwhelming. I love having he cookbook, I think it's a great tool. If you want to be MFP friends let me know! Steadmn

    Pollypocket, I'm sorry I didn't get back with you right away, but glad someone else explained! Questions are not ignorant!

    I have the cook books and plan book, but I still can't seem to "get it". I signed back up for MFP in the hopes it will help me to better understand the different food sources.

    I'm a Trim Healthy Mama and would love to have fellow THMs to follow!

    Hello! I'm Lori \o/ I'm doing "a not so strict" THM. But would love to connect with anyone about a shared journey with health and weight. I've been on a long health journey but am happy with my goals, results and focus! I'm all about living it, not depriving myself of it. It's LIFE! I love THM books, esp cookbook. Even though they are a bit overwhelming. Love all the low carb options now. So better than they used to be! Anyway, enough chattering... I'm a homeschool mom of an 11th grader, married almost 30 years, have diabetes, fibromyalgia, autoimmune issues and therefore I struggle with exercising. I love to scrapbook, quilt and craft cards, love to fellowship, volunteer in women's ministry and love the Lord. I hope you are encouraged by MFP! Glad to meet you! How long have you been on MFP? How do you like it? Any fav recipes?

    I am on the THM plan and I love it. I have lost 16 lbs so far. I have lost 12 inches overall. I have been on the plan since mid February and I consider myself a drive thru Sue. I just turned 60 and have about 50 more lbs To lose. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, osteoarthritis, and I have had two knee replacements and a hip replacement. I have raised 3 children, two of my own and a grandson who is 19 and living at home and going to college. My favorite breakfast is Eggs and Av's, my favorite dinner is the Fakertot Casserole. I have made several recipes and I have enjoyed most from the cookbook. I like to play Mahjong, do water aerobics, color my coloring books, swim, play with my dogs and grandsons. I have been married for 34 years and we love to go explore our State (Florida), travel , movies and fish the intercoastal waterways. I am also the new leader of a local TOPS (take off pounds sensibly). I like TOPS because you can use any plan. I am looking for support and friendship.
