Hi! 37yo SW 260 (size 18-20, 2x) CW 190ish, I think (I measure more than weigh) (size 10, M/L) GW 150-155 5' 8" 1250-1400 cals I mostly walk/run/hike for exercise. I haven't lost any inches in height, but my bra size keeps changing! (And not just the band size.) You can do it! Add me, if you're still looking for more…

I am so inspired by all of you! To chime in with my story, I've got chronic migraines, chronic back pain even after surgery, celiac disease, bipolar, fibro, ptsd, gastroparesis, a hepatocelluar adenoma that will probably have to removed, a who-knows-why dying gallbladder that is also going to have to be taken out,…

Warning: long post ahead I don't want to be mean, but it's not necessarily helpful to give simple advice on weight gain/loss from meds (especially psych meds), when you've never been on them and have never heard accurate data and advice from a qualified physician -- specifically a psychiatrist who knows exactly the "ins…

I've lost a total of 50 lbs since September (~220 to 170, still ~30 to goal; I actually started at 260, went to 180 a couple years ago, regained back to 220, and then started all over again), and have gone from a 38B to a 34C. No idea why the cup size went up as the band size went down? Whatever. But I have no idea what…

I did it too, as my first intro to running. I used a podcast that used both tempo music and a narrator who said when to switch from walking to running and back again. The music was faster during the running segments to help with pacing. It was instrumental kinda dance-y / house music, with a really good beat. I liked that…

I have twin younger brothers who were 3-sport athletes from 6th grade through college (cross country, indoor track, outdoor track & field). They ate horribly and voraciously as teenagers that whole time. They could each eat a whole Jacks pizza (my mom could get them 5 for $10, so she always had tons on hand), an entire bag…

There's a book on Amazon called "30 Perfect Popcorn Recipes". It's also available for the Kindle. I have the book - the topping combinations are yummy, but not always diet-friendly. I don't have time right now, but I think I'll have time tomorrow to go through it, and just post here any of the good ones.

Here's my easiest homemade pasta sauce recipe. Well, it's not even a recipe so much as just a ratio: --1 large can (28oz) tomato sauce --2 medium cans (14oz) diced tomatoes --1 small can (6oz) tomato paste I am almost positive you can get no-salt versions of all those. Mix all that together, add whatever herbs you want,…

I did FODMAP for 2 months, at the request of my GI doc, and found it nearly impossible to actually accurately follow, and not effective for my IBS symptoms. I have Celiac Disease and so I've been gluten free for 10+ years now. But I had a couple pesky symptoms pop up last summer, and somewhere in the midst of the…

Can't relate on the joint pain (though I certainly hope you find relief soon) -- but, I've been 100% gluten free for 10+ years. Add me if you have any questions about GF - I've been doing it since before there were dedicated manufacturers, specific cookbooks, all that jazz. When I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, my…

Here's an idea, if your husband isn't too tired of mashed potatoes in general. I'm Dutch, and we have what is essentially a national dish called "stammpot". (Pronounce it like *stum-PUT* - stum "u" like umbrella, and PUT "u" like a cross between a "u" and an "oo") Anyways, much more important than the pronunciation, is the…
