Meat loaf (turkey or beef). Beef or turkey chili with beans of your choice. Stews, pured soups, apple sauce. Sorry about your diagnosis and good luck with your surgery. Since I don't know what kind of surgery you will have, I suggest that you ask your doctor or oncologist if you will have any food restriction after the…

I would like to know why three people clicked the "disagree" bottom when the comment posted by @Hollis100 was very respectful and right on.

We have no candies or chocolate in the house, and we haven't celebrated Halloween in years. The kids have their own families and they don't live near by, and some of the grandchildren are too old for trick or treats, anyway. My husband and I reside in a gated community so we get no trick or treating kiddos. All is good, we…

@NewLIFEstyle4ME Welcome back and congrats on your maintenance and even losing some wt.! Keep up the good work. I understand the need of walking away from social media, even MFP (which is the only on line "social" that I belong to). It is very time consuming and takes time away from doing more important things. I need to…

I think that the cold weather made you a little bit snarky...Many places in the great USA have also fires, looting, murders, hurricanes, flooding, etc...enjoy your skiing while I work in my garden.

I lived in NY many moons ago, and I hated shoveling snow, but I also hated the winter and the cold. So I moved... I am now in the California desert, so you probably don't want to hear from me either... :D Happy shoveling!

@laurenq1991 You should feel super good about your accomplishment. Awesome and very inspiring. You thought about it, you planned, you wrote your plans down, and you followed thru. Admirable! Please keep the good work and when you are done, come over my house. My garage needs you... :p

@laurenq1991 I am glad that you are taking precautions when listing in Craigslist and for the pickup of items as well. Better safe than sorry. Some of the donations companies have a place in their website where you can post pictures of what you want to donate so the truck doesn't make an unwanted trip. My husband and I…

@laurenq1991 Many donations places offer free pick-up, specially if you have furniture, appliances, or heavy boxes to give away. Just give them a call, ask them if they offer the service, and then schedule a pick up time that is convenient for you so you don't have to bother your husband. You can put a bunch of items in…

Good job and plans @snoo61 !!! I am good in the declutting department, but I need to do some reorganization and drawers clean up too. This week is garden week; I am getting the pots ready with the fall and winter flowers (I live in the S. California desert and we take care of our gardens all year long). I don't have big…

No, I don't!. The answers in the thread may help answer your question. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/44336057#Comment_44336057

I had and it was not a good one; I almost passed out, and it was only a walk without much exertion. I fast between 7:30PM to 8AM the following day so after more than 12 hrs between meals (and I am not a big eater), I don't have enough reserves in my body to deal with cardio or with any physical activity that requires…

The definition of cravings is to have a "powerful" desire for something. In this case, we are talking and writing about food. It is not a "want" for salad, salmon or anything else; it's a strong and a "must" desire to eat something. At least that is how I interpret the word craving. I have never been a person to have…

Sorry to hear about your health problems. I hope that they are resolved now, and that you are enjoying a healthy and happy journey. Lynda, your husband loved you already and was committed to the marriage; he knew that you were the woman for him, so the weight gain didn't matter much. The two of you had a loving…

You are NOT going to do that !!! So problem solved.

OP if you are happy with the macro ratio that MFP gave you, stick with it, other wise go and change them. It is your journey. Some people cares more about macros than calories, others not so much. My macros are 35% P and C, and 30% F. I changed them few years ago (I am in stable maintenance) when I realized that MFP carbs…

Physical attraction is important, and that is OK. If a person doesn't find somebody else physical attracted to, it would be very difficult to start a connection and develop interest in their "inside."

Discussing way to judge and refer to another person.

It is not why I exercise, and I don't agree either with the idea of killing oneself at the gym in order to eat more. My original comment was kind of sarcastic, and based on what many people post in the forums. I eat to live, and I exercise to keep myself happy and fit.

Take a rest (no running or jumping) until you get an appointment to see a doctor. Do not aggravate an already painful and swollen knee. Ice and rest, and ibuprofen with food, if needed and as you have been doing will help you. I don't know what kind of health insurance you have, but you may need to see your GP first, get…

Nothing :D

and that is what most of the people in MFP are aiming for... isn't it?

:D :D :D I have been eaten and digested several times myself.

Zombie thread from 5/19/2016. I hope that the OP had a successful surgery and rehab.

@RubyRed427 Great job and double kudos for organizing and recycling <3 !!

I had to ask Mr. Google what an air fryer was... ;) Nope, don't have one and I probably never will. A convection toaster oven does the work for me.

My health insurance will not pay for Synthroid or Cytomel, so what I do is always request the same manufacturer for the generic versions and so far, they have been working OK. I have been hypo for more than 16 years and the doses of both meds have been steady for the last 7 years.

Mapmywalk overestimates, so IMOP is only good to track distance, not calories.

Exactly, especially since reaching maintenance 9 years ago.

I don't' bother tracking or logging while eating out unless the restaurant has nutritional information. But I don't eat out 99% of the time either unless I am on vacation.
