I like them. I rinse them well and stir them around in a hot Teflon pan to dry them out before using them. It eliminates the smell and gives them better texture.

Pamela Reif videos on YouTube- 10 min abs and 15 min booty workouts (ouch!).

Pre-logging my meals.

I joined a gym and had a body comp test. I learned I'm 32% body fat. My goal is to lose 15 lbs of fat and gain 5 pounds of muscle. Here I go...

It sounds like a sensible exercise program while losing (fat) weight is the way to go first, and that recomposition is the step after that. So there's hope! I knew I posted at the right place. I appreciate all your advice!

Thank you for your advice and support. Gyms and weight lifting can seem intimidating, but I'll check out the link see what I can do to start.

Eating protein at every meal and snack.

WOW! You all look so incredible. To say "good job" is a huge understatement for such incredible achievement.

BOD Max:30 Cardio (I died early)

I like BOD and there's no need for shakes or food containers. I think MFP is very compatible with the plans and I focus on CICO instead of their "clean eating" messaging. Consistency is key, which is what I suck at.

Here's the link:https://www.hotandflashy.com/

HotandFlashy.com is an excellent website and also a YouTube channel for women over 50. Angie is straight to the point and very real. She posts two videos per week and I look forward to them. I cannot recommend her enough!

No. If I did, I would go mental.

I feel the same way. If I have black coffee in the morning and wait until 11 for lunch, I end up eating less calories than if I had both meals and I am so much more satisfied. I'm 54 and munching after 7 pm isn't smart for me anyway, so I like 16/8 very much.

I'm reading her book and found this thread when I searched for information about finding a diet coach. If anyone has a suggestion about where to find one I'd be grateful. Thanks

Walked 20 minutes, Beachbody 1.5 hrs

My parents are elderly and my mom is 92 with COPD. Those are the thoughts that haunt me and bring me down. I'm disabled and at home alone a lot during the day, so this adjustment has been easier for me. I've signed-up for streaming home workouts, have Zoom "cocktail parties" with friends and enjoy cooking family dinners.…

Completed day 4 of Brazil BL. I'm loving it so much!

Brazil Butt Lift - Cardio Axe I'm loving this program!!!

I subscribed today and starting Brazilian Butt tomorrow. Excited and nervous... I'm out of shape so I plan to do what I can and not give up because I'm not doing it perfectly. I'm reminding myself that it's okay to be new at something and not get frustrated.

I may sign-up for Beach Body on demand. I need to exercise but my gym closed forever last month. Now's the time for me to try something new.

I just read on CNN it has to do with exports. Ibuprofen is one of those drugs that come from other countries like India and there is potential for a shortage.

That is such an achievement. Congratulations!!!

The Escali Primo Digital Kitchen Scale. It's a fantastic scale. We've used it multiple times every day for five years and it's a workhorse. It easily switches from grams to oz while weighing and it can hold a pretty heavy dish while taring. Highly recommend! You can get them a BBB or online.

I've started using the Happy Scale app and I like it because it shows weight trends with the ups and downs. Like NorvusDies' graph above, the losses are followed by ups and then a new lower weight and continue that way if calorie restriction is consistent. Vacations and anniversaries important and are what life's about, so…
