Making some foods off limits. I used to tell myself that I could only eat healthy foods, like chicken breast and broccoli. But when I allow myself to eat fast foods and chips and make them part of my diet, I’m a lot more successful. They lose their mojo. It’s important to track them, though, and be aware of what you eat.…

No. No change in cravings after hysterectomy

@mtaratoot I would love to buy a single serving bag of tortilla chips, but I’ve never ever seen them. 🤷‍♀️I also hate food waste. Luckily I’ve only done the tortilla thing a few times in my life

I agree with removing the temptation from the house. I cannot bring tortilla chips or crackers into the house. They're too easy to grab impusively. Once in a while, I get a bag of tortilla chips, eat a bunch (usually too much) and then wash the rest down the disposal. It's wasteful, but whatever. I won't be tempted the…

Thanks, AnnPT77. I lost the 50 pounds in about 2 years. LOL So it hasn't been fast. Though I would like to lose a little faster for 2024. Also, I do not do the salad/veggie thing. I'm type 2 diabetic, so I watch my carbs, but still eat them. And I always include protein. But water aerobics is probably mostly cardio, so I…

I make a large pot of veggie soup and eat as much as I want. It’s tasty and really fills me up. I’ve saved a generic version of the soup as a meal here, so it’s easy to log. If I add pasta or chicken or whatever, I just log those separately. Sometimes I just want a lot of volume

Thanks for answering. I haven't checked this in a while, obviously! But I'm glad you told me about this.

I have diabetes, and I have guidance from a dietician on how many carbs to eat for every meal and snack. So I basically just look at my carbs as I log them and try to stay around the number that was set for me.

I sent them a message about it. Since the issue is on my Iphone and the web, plus Garmin and Android, it sounds like a My Fitness Pal issue. I hope they address the problem!

Is there a pool at your gym or one you can use/ join somewhere else? I do water aerobics, and it is so fun. I have a bad knee but it is no problem in the water. I also like to just walk in the water. Being in the water can be a good workout, and great for people who have trouble on land.

Hi, I'm Andrea and I'm new to this forum. My weight history is that I'm down about 130 pounds from my heaviest of 380. And at 5'3", that was quite a lot. I think I was almost round! The lowest I ever got was 220, which is still high, but boy did I feel good at that weight. Now, I'm older, and I'm at 250, trying to finally…

I was on it last year, and it did seem to help me not eat at night, which is my problem time period. However, my liver enzymes were really elevated from it, so I had to stop taking it. I don't believe this is a very common side effect--probably pretty rare--but it is one to keep in mind. If you do it through a doctor, I'd…

Add me! I'm about 263.

You look great. Would you mind sharing your calorie goal?

I just saw this challenge. Late snacking is my achilles heel. I'm in! My goal is no snacking after 9 pm. Me: 1 LSN: 0

I don't count veggies. When I do, they don't add up to much. Other than starchy vegetables like peas, corn, or potatoes. But i do count fruit because I'm watching my carbs, and it's easy to get in a lot of carbs if you eat a lot of fruit.

I am in the same boat. Please add me. 53 and want to lose at least 100 #.

Thanks for the info. Does anyone know if anyone has had a good, steady weight loss on their BMR?

I'm 5'3"!

I'm 5'3" and 285, so I can definitely relate to where you are. If you'd like to be MFP friends, that would be great.
