    I've never heard of a scoops balanced plates and where can I buy one?

    What I am doing is Epicures perfect portion scoops. The blue scoop is for proteins it holds 1 cup, the green is for either fruits or veggies it holds a cup, the grains are in yellow and it holds a half a cup and there is a purple tbsp for you fats/oils/ dressings. So what you do is have 1 scoop of each of proteins, fruit/veg, grain and a healthy fat at each meal plus drink 8 glasses of water and exercise 30 min. for eating you only eat 3 times a day and can have about a 100 calorie/mini sized dessert as well.

    Thank you so much I'm going to try this. I'll also share with my daughter who's also trying to lose weight.

    I got 2 miles off walking in today plus some housework done.
    I've not had much of a appetite today. I've been doing not caffeine and I have a headache too. My blood pressure is good today and my blood sugar was better today also. I'm so happy it's coming down and I'm starting to feel better.

    Keep up the good work! What do you use to measure your blood sugar and blood pressure at home?

    I started this Plan yesterday. I charged my Fitbit and entered my food for yesterday and today. I found my favorite workout videos, which I will start today. My small change is not to eat a whole package of creakers or other unhealthy snacks. I love the idea of making a daily menu to remind me of what I will be eating. (This has worked for me in the past). My #1 goal is to live a healthier life. I feel so drained, and I need to get my energy back. I'm off to do my first video.

    Way to go! Keep it up and you will get there. Small changes over time add up to big results in the long term. Small changes are also manageable. My small change is to give up sweets/anything with simple sugars for the next 6 months. I replace with some fruits and other things I can make for myself with alternative sweeteners like monkfruit and stevia.

    I use One touch ultra for my blood sugar and a maguja blood pressure monitor. My doctor prescribed the blood sugar monitor but the blood pressure monitor I bought off of Amazon.

    I can understand eating a whole package of crackers I do that sometimes I know it unhealthy for me and I've had a few losses but I'm really trying to do before. If I can do this so can you little changes at a time. For some reason I don't know I've been craving peanut butter all week. I got stop eating so much peanut 🤷

    Lost a few ounces this week. Still struggling with exercise and finding a happy space where the next day my back doesn't hurt so much that I can barely walk.
