I add bran flake cereal. About 5 to 8 grams makes the oatmeal thicker. I also use milk (FairLife higher in protein) instead of water. I don't use cinnamon in anything :s

I don't like gadgets and don't care for "wearable tech" either. I don't even wear a watch anymore (retired), and most of the time my phone and I are in different places ;) so no need to use it for fitness reasons. I always leave my phone inside my gym bag because listen to whatever music is playing at the gym. No fit-bit…

I don't taste too much or often and when I do, I don't record anything.

Average? are you kidding? It all depends how tall, short or petite the woman is.

@acpgee Thank you so much for posting the link to your recipes. As I suspected, they are not easy ones and they require ingredients that I don't have ready available or that I can't eat (like garlic). They seem to require a lot of work, and time in the kitchen. That is a chore for a person like you that loves to cook. I…

Soups, meatloaf, and beef and bean chili. These are the only things that I make several portions of and I freeze for further use. I cook very simple recipes everyday of protein and vegetables. I don't like curries and my husband doesn't care for rice. I don't remember the last time that I use the slow cooker either. :/…

Man up dude, and see your doctor! Happy :D ?

@GottaBurnEmAll Nice looking bras and thank you for sharing the website. However, all the models are fit and without sagging/older breasts or extra skin. And that is not fair! I don't have extra skin but as an older woman, I don't have the perkiness or support of my younger years, but I am bustier than before. Go figure!…

Or check the kind of magnesium that you are taking. Check what I posted 2/11.

@Keto_Vampire I think that I will try the MagTech Magnesium Complex. When I sleep better my HAs, are very mild, if I do get any, and the same with the migraines. I know that it is not cheap, but my health is worthy.

I hope that this information is helpful. Magnesium Glycinate works better for me at 200mg, while the 400mg version of magnesium oxide and citrate doesn't. When it comes to helping you get a good night’s sleep, the best forms of magnesium include: Magnesium Glycinate. One of the most absorbable forms of magnesium, it’s…

The above post is insightful and correct, but be aware that some vitamins color your urine bright yellow, so don't confuse it with de-hydration. I take Vit. B2 twice a day and within an hour my urine is very bright yellow, but I was warned by my doctor so I don't worry.

Most of the time I weigh daily, but sometimes I may skip a couple of days since my weight is stable with minimal fluctuations (no hormones to blame). I don't use any app to register the readings or changes since I use the MFP website not the app (the only happy scale is the one under my feet :) ). I do make notes in my…

Co-signed as 75 is the new 50 :D

Not very consistent anymore after being in maintenance for 9 years. At home, I weigh and log my food but as I said in other threads, I am not OCD about it. When I eat out, and unless the restaurant has the nutritional information listed on line, I don't bother logging. The same when I am on vacation. And since I eat out at…

This is the reply that I got when I entered my data. I guess that I am a special or an awkward snow flake :'( NOTE: Not all images are tagged with an age, so age filtering may return inaccurate results. No Results Returned

That shows you how much I follow all kind of "diets." ;)

@TeaBea I agree that keto has been around for several years but only for medical reasons (in this case epilepsy). What I meant, and sorry for not being more clear, is that I don't think that keto was around nine years ago as a diet to lose or control weight. But I may be wrong, it's Sunday after all...

I never did keto (I don’t think that it was around 9 years go), and I am not planning to follow that diet anytime soon either. Not only because I am already in maintenance, but because I don’t like the food limitations that the diet requires. I don’t feel good with too much fat (Keto) just like I don’t feel good with too…

Did I miss the gluten-free leg workout somewhere?

@sonilac Well half and half is good too because is less fatty than heavy cream, so I shall try it :) There was another recipe in the link that you posted called "Creamy Spinach and Mushrooms chicken," that sounded good too. Heavy cream was also one of the ingredients, so if half and half works for the Parmesan one, it may…

Interesting recipe; thank you for posting. I wonder if half and half or coconut milk could be used instead of heavy cream. I don't do well with a lot of fat.

Me too! On the other hand, I don't watch cooking shows because I also find them boring. Maybe because I am not interested in what they do (aka cooking).

I eat with moderation while controlling the portions. Be careful with alcoholic drinks. I eat less during the day, and/or I try to exercise more, so I have extra calories for the gathering, If you are taking a salad, make it extra big so you can eat more of what you made. Don't go to the gathering hungry. Eat something…

OMG so much fat and calories in that recipe (bacon grease, butter, lots of cheese, etc.) :s Not in my house!

Not really. After being in maintenance for 9 years, not being too consistent or strict with the weighing and logging any more, and knowing that at my age and with may workouts, I don't burn too many calories, I defined my own TDEE. I log the minutes exercising and give myself an extra 10 calories per workout. If I am…

I still weigh and log my food but I am not longer OCD about it. I weigh myself almost daily, and I am OCD about it! I don't log on vacation or while eating out or at friends' house, but I eat with moderation and I keep an eye on portion control I don't "let myself go" because I don't believe in that. I use what I learned…

I know you didn't :) It just that the name "Rest in Peace" has a different connotation and it seemed spooky for a relaxing supplement. It gave me the chills.

I always eat 1/4 of a muffin or a scone, specially if they are big. My husband can take care of the rest.

Nope, I never did, and I never will.
