Best resource for customized recipes: ChatGPT
AI has been a game changer for me on my wellness journey. I have used it to create gluten-free vegetarian recipes, high-protein recipes, and low-calorie snacks. It's an amazing tool for dietary restrictions—my sister uses it for her son that has a special diet. One of my favorite things about using it is that I can tell it…

Hi everyone
my name is Lisa. I’m a 53 year old who lives in Omaha Nebraska. 4.5 years ago, I had a massive life changing medical crisis. Blood clots killed both my feet.

I’m new to counting everything
I’ve never really been one to count calories. I just cut back on carbs. But now I’m dead set on doing this the right way. In fact, I found a chair yoga for amputees, so Monday I’m starting. (Sunday was my day I set aside for rest, before I found the chair yoga, it’s football day here) I’m short on my calories for the day.…

How do you force yourself to work out when you’re full of excuses?
Hi friends — I’m not new to fitness… but I’ve completely fallen off. I used to lead 6 mile sunrise walks on beach in sand 7 days a week for 2 years. I had accident and screwed up my hips and I can't do my walk anymore. Lately I’ve been slacking hard and making every excuse in the book — too tired, too busy, too…
Back again....
Well I've had a shock to the system, I weighed myself today after leaving it far too long since the last time.

If there is anyone who wants to join me on this journey, feel free to tag…
What can I do different
I have been on my health and weight loss journey for over 8 months. I’ve lost a little over 45 pounds so far and none of my clothes fit properly which is great. Over the past 4 weeks I’ve only lost 1.2 pounds, and last week I gained over a pound. I’m under my calorie intake, carb intake, fat intake, and over my protein…
1 Year later - not as expected
I started a new lifestyle last year on September 5th, 2024. My bloodwork showed that I had eaten myself into Type 2 diabetes with an A1C of 6.7, my blood pressure was too high and the scale the next morning in our bathroom, without clothes, showed 348 lbs. I started a new lifestyle; I have an autoimmune disorder (RA) and…
Who says dieting can be boring???
When I first tried losing weight I really hated it, it felt like a complete punishment. “You cant have food until you’ve lost weight!” is what I told myself, so I ate a consistent diet of Chicken Salads, Chicken Breasts and greens for months; and I detested it. Well, 60lbs+ lost and my perspective has completely changed.…

Refeeding and then Reduce Calories only to Gain Weight
Has anyone, after a refeeding period, stuggled with gaining weight when you try and lower kcals under maintainance kcals? I've been refeeding for about 3 months. I went from a daily kcal of 600 - 800 per day to 2800 to 3200 per day. After finding the weekly average of maintaining at 2350 k cals per day, I have been trying…

You can't outrun a fork!
You can't outrun a fork! I know it is simple, but it is true, your exercise is great for moving, making yourself heart healthy, but no amount of exercise will make up for your FORK! For weight management it's all about the Fork what you eat. I have separated what I do and what I eat into two goals, distinct from each other…
Deducting the Hair Extensions weight gain! 💇
Doh! Wow, how insane is this? I was so close to my weight loss goal. I ate a big meal the night before so I chose not to weigh in the next morning, Saturday.
