Miracles do happen!! I decided to get on the scales this morning as I was definitely feeling lighter. I am down 5 pounds since January 1. As in the usual practice, I weighed myself again with the same result. What caused it? I know I had to visit the bathroom twice yesterday for a healthy deposit. Now, for another interesting week to see what happens this week.
Weight loss is definitely not linear!! Which makes some of the "advice" so frustrating.0 -
I'm currently watching Erica's episode on My 600-lb life (while I'm on the treadmill). She's trying to guilt one of her siblings into giving up their business/job to move to Houston with her. They're sticking to their guns so far and saying "no". They did agree to go with her to fly to Houston (from California). Instead of going right to the hospital they checked into a hotel. Pretty soon they had to call for an ambulance. Dr. Now can tell she's in no real frame of mind to lose weight and after hospitalizing her for a couple weeks, sends her back to California. While she was gone her family threw out all her junk food and insisted they'll deliver no more of it. Good for them! But she figures out she can have food delivered (she's mobile; sort of, barely). Dr. Now sends her a nutritionist who throws out all the new junk food. Erica's response? "I can just order more."
I never thought about how much easier it would be these days to get junk food delivered in huge quantities (as long as you can afford it). It wouldn't work for the ones that are bedridden, unless of course they could tip the UPS guy to bring in the food.
Now Dr. Now is sending her a therapist. That won't go well.
What really blows my mind is how many of these people think that they can have surgery but now change what they're eating.0 -
We know Lin has a tape of the original Broadway cast performing Hamilton. He's said it won't be released as long as the show is still on Broadway.
BIG NEWS!! They've made an agreement with Disney to release it on the big screen in October 2021! So now we know when we'll finally see it!!
Bizarre thought. I'd better do what the cardiologist tells me so I'll be around to see it!0 -

Congrats, Jean! 5 pounds in one month is great progress. The next 7 may be slower, but you can do it.0

I was watching Dr Oz about a month ago. He was talking about something like fasting. As I recall, he said don’t eat breakfast. The first meal was around noonish and it wasn’t typical breakfast foods. It also had a time at night to stop eating. I’m vague on the details but I remember it sounded interesting. You can find the details on his website if you want to know the details.0

Sort of contradicts breakfast is the most important meal of the day. LOL!

It's almost 3:00. I've had high protein oatmeal with a tiny box of raisins and a splash of milk and high protein chicken soup with crackers.. About 300 calories give or take. And I was just thinking how I'm not hungry at all.
I can see why Dr. Now stresses protein. I do wonder sometimes, since so many of his patients appear completely clueless with respect to food, whether he wouldn't be better off putting them on a liquid protein diet. Or maybe they just all WANT to pretend to be clueless because they don't want to follow the plan.0 -
I thought the same thing about breakfast being the most important meal. It’s hard to decide with such conflicting opinions.0

I know I always use my cat's pic as the avatar, but this is a pic of me taken today. Despite the weight (most don't think I am obese), I think I look decent for an almost 78 year old woman.

Since I'm always looking at Fitbit data, and the food entered at MFP doesn't always sync over to FitBit, I've decided to start logging my food there. I like it. You have a choice of basing it on either a sedentary lifestyle or let FitBit base what calories you are allowed for the day based upon past record of calories burned. Then as you enter food, it tells you how many calories remain to be eaten. If you are more active than expected, it then increases how much you can eat, or if less active, it will decrease the calories to be eaten.0

Looking good, Jean!0

Starting my second day of logging food. Calories permitted are based upon metabolism and exercise to that point. As you become more active, more calories are permitted. Someone who is over the hill and short starts out with a calorie number less than 1200.

Jean, you look great. And it sounds like a good plan.0
