I've found a bunch of great videos by searching on "low-impact". Maybe that's what you need? The best of luck!

I have food sensitivities, as well, but mine include fiber like in vegetables. Makes things tough! :( For your mid-day snack, what about hard-boiled eggs? A banana? Avocado? The last two may not be as low in calories as you'd like, but I've found them to have pretty good satiety. Good luck! I hope you get some great ideas!

I get it. I get tremendously jealous, too. What helps me is to think of the wonderful things I have (comfortable home, sweet DH) and that some thin women would kill to have what I have. I don't mean this in a "Nyah, nyah, thin women" way, but that most of us have something which at least one person wants. I'm not happy…

Angel Food Cake is relatively low in calories. A decent slice from the bar cake I got is 110 calories. The problem is not eating the whole thing. Hershey's Lite Chocolate Syrup is a lifesaver for me. It has 20 calories per tablespoon, but it doesn't take much to make an impact and it satisfies my need for chocolate. It's…

I really thought I'd filled out my profile. Thanks for letting me know. I did pretty well with the begging but I'll still let people know more about me!

You're so pretty. :) I sent a friend request. To do so yourself, click on a person's name. Then click on their name AGAIN on the next screen, then "Add Friend". I wish they made it a little more obvious.

Thank you, everyone! I friended everyone so if we aren't friends there must've been a glitch somewhere. Please try again! I'm feeling so much better! <3

I just finished a non-fiction book called Year of No Sugar, by Eve Schaub. It's an entertaining, easy read about how sugar affects us and how much is in our food. I know it was responsible for my cravings and lack of weight loss. I'm doing so much better without it and I NEVER thought I'd get off it! Here's her website:…

Hi everyone, I'm 52 and have been up and down with my weight. I suspect everyone's familiar with THAT. I also survived a cancer scare and feel great now, but the whole mess left me at a higher weight than I'd like. I'm in a wonderful fitness challenge group but I suspect I'm the oldest one there by about a decade! I'd love…

I'm joining. :) Got my first walk of April in at 2.5 miles in 60 minutes. I live in a hilly area so that was harder than it looks! Getting ready for a 5K mid-May.

Are you me? :) This is my physiology, exactly. When I drink a Diet Coke, a few hours later I'll have cravings for sweets, as you do. This doesn't happen since I switched to stevia as a sweetener.

If it were that easy MFP would be a ghost town.

It's hard to find lower carb in convenience foods because carbs are cheap! Lean Cuisine Pomegranate Chicken is pretty good: https://www.leancuisine.com/products/details/11498

I don't know if you're still around majicmitch, but a belated thank you for this info. It worked.

Been with a baldy for 12 years now. :) You're an attractive man. I don't think being bald should be a problem for you. Could your insecurity about being bald be it? Like others have said, you have to own it.

Babybel Light are 50 calories each and the closest "diet" cheese to the real thing that I've found.

It's already been mentioned a few times, but I also want to add that the fully-sweetened chocolate almond milk is wonderful in coffee and won't have many calories. If you don't want the sweetness, the unsweetened adds a nice richness.
