Are you allowed to wear an Apple Watch while practicing karate? I'd use its its "move" calculator to monitor my heart rate to determine how much exercise I got. When your heart rate is high enough, it'll count it as exercise.

Man, hopefully you’ve got 30 years left. My license plate on my car is NTDEDYT. Not dead yet! LIVE!

When you say you’ve been good with your food, are you counting all of the calories you’re consuming? Are you measuring them or making an estimate? Is it possible you’re eating more than you think?

I had one of these for breakfast before. 250 calories. :-)

How about you aim for 1 lb per week to lose? That is sustainable and realistic for a lot of people. No need to be disappointed. Just pick it up again and look at it for the long-term, not till Christmas. When you mess up with your goal, just get back on. Every day is a chance to begin again.

It's unfortunate that in the US, many of the foods we grew up on are high fat, high calorie. So, we crave those as comfort foods. If we lived in Asia, our comfort foods would be lean meats, a lot of fish, some rice, and a bunch of vegetables! Personally, I have grown to really like the taste and texture of foods that…

Welcome! I’m glad you’re feeling better and are looking into taking care of yourself!

It really sounds like you need a therapist. There's a reason you do what you do, and you want to stop. If you can't will yourself to stop, then it seems like you need help. Call today and book an appointment. It will be a significant wait likely to get in to one, so you may as well get on the schedule ASAP.

I logged into a food tracking app that is a competitor to MFP, and it recommended less than 1200 calories for me (female). It recommended 1052 calories per day! I won’t be doing that, but I found it interesting that it would recommend below what I thought was considered the absolute minimum.

I browse these boards, but Facebook is where it’s at. Search Lose Weight Eat Pizza. Much more active and user-friendly. No spam or sales allowed. Well-monitored.

I much prefer the format of Facebook, so I’ve been hanging out there on Lose Weight Eat Pizza. It’s CICO. Absolutely no marketing of any kind. Pretty positive and supportive people.

As I aged, I started meeting friends for drinks and meals for fun instead of going hiking or kayaking. I grew less active and started eating and drinking more.

I stopped drinking a week ago, and I can tell you I miss it! I'd love a bottle of wine right now. Fortunately there's none in the house. I really commented because I wanted to tell you that I love your screen name!

Finding something you enjoy is super important. Well done.

I eat Spicy Chicken Noodle soup frequently for lunch. Spicy food for the win for me too.

Fantastic! Well done.

I think we get caught up with the age as the reason. For me, I think the reason I've gained weight is because my lifestyle changed. When I was younger, I was more active daily without thinking about it. Now when I hang out with friends, it's over lunch or dinner maybe with some drinks. When I was 30 or 40, I would have…

If you want a different answer than Theoldguy1 gave you, you're looking for a therapist, not an online group. Your husband may enjoy those items, but he doesn't need them. He can still support you by not keeping them in the house right now. No one is demonizing food. No one said those are bad foods. They are high in…

Figure out your own preferred timing for eating your calories. Time of day doesn't matter in terms of weight loss. If you prefer bigger meals less frequently, do that. If you don't want to eat breakfast, don't. If you save most of your calories for dinner, go for it. If you want to eat every couple hours, do it. I'm not a…

Stop taking the supplements and eat food instead! Mostly supplements are supplements for someone's wallet is my understanding.

I got nothing for you, except stop drinking or drink minimally! I can't lose weight when I drink and I gained a lot of my weight with bottles of red wine! Interestingly, I was having a very hard time quitting drinking until I made the solid decision to get back into my summer shorts. That's when I just quit. Okay, it's…

Life expectancy has risen from 50 years ago though.

Are you achieving your health and weight goals by doing this? Then all power to you!

Does your medical doctor see a need for you to include supplements in your diet?

I'm not into having "friends" but I'll read your posts and comment when I think I have something to add! We've got this!

You've got this. Many of us have to start again! Life is a crazy sometimes. As long as we don't give up, it's all good! I don't do "friends" on here, but I will follow posts and comment!

Drink diet soda. It's okay to drink diet soda to support your weight loss goals. For cravings, sometimes a soda and a piece of gum help me if I'm not actually hungry but have the munchies.

Thanks for the idea of the LaCroix in a wine glass.

Many of us are jealous of that! I usually lose a little over a pound a week.
