oh boy, do I hear ya! I recently found out about the exersice program T-tapp. It is a gentle way to strengthen your body. the 15 instructional video (goes over all the basic moves well) is quite a workout for me. I have not tried the basic 15 minutes workout yet. The workout focuses on putting your body in alignment as you…

I strongly suggest Physical Therapy! I hurt my back last winter shoveling snow. Went to PT and was told it was actually my hip was out of place, not my back. Took 6 weeks of treatment with PT and at home to get hip back into place and be pain free. If I would have just done back stretching exercises on my own, I'm sure my…

just for today: i will not let craving control my food decisions.

feel free to add me, I have the same issue

I, too, am starting over. 2017 is THE year!! Feel free to add me

I'm 46 and have 100+ to lose. I've been on MFP since March 2015. I've lost as much as 47 lbs (Nov 2016), but ended up gaining and only have been able to maintain a 10lb loss. I'm ready to turn over a new leaf in my weight loss journey, with my husband and children changing their eating habits right along with me. Feel free…

that's what I'm kinda striving for..... hubby and I want to do a long, drawn out, reintroduction to figure out if his sugar intake is making his pain worse. We are going to test foods individually to see if they cause issues

Apple chicken sausage, baked potato, orange

this is my second round with whole30. I'm on day 11. I also had issues with reintroduction and basically consumed everything in sight once the 30 days were up. This time around is different because my hubby and kids are doing it together. this has made a big difference and I'm not so consumed with what I can't eat. My…

Congratulations on your loss and fighting the good fight!! I have been on and off MFP since March 2015. But I have only been able to maintain a 10lb loss. This year is the year I will finally break through and be well on my way to losing 100 lbs. My hubby has agreed to do everything with me (he doesnt need to lose weight)…

You look fantastic!!!!!

I'm back after a very long break. The holidays did me in and couldn't recover with the endless stream of injuries since January. Not a great excuse for falling off the wagon, but it's all I got. Currently trying to heal a sprained ankle..... I am progressing albeit slow. Not stepping on scale or wearing Fitbit for now, no…

You look fantastic! !!! Great job!!!

I did well on whole 30, but had done a no-sugar, no-flour 30 day Challenge a couple months prior to whole 30. Completing that successfully helped me to complete the whole 30 successfully. It is a challenge and was exactly what I needed at the time. My sugar/bread cravings dissappeared. I would recommend it, but strongly…

I also have problems with veggies. You can change your taste buds, but it does take time. I would recommend smoothies. I do 2 cups spinach, half a banana, half and orange, and 1 Tb pineapple puree. I had to work up to this. For you, maybe start with 1/2 cup spinach, one apple, half a banana, and vanilla yogurt. (Greek…

Baby steps....... focus on one habit you want to change, work at it until it becomes second nature then start working on another habit. Repeat forever. I hope your situation improves quickly.

Fasting blood sugar of 95. Family history of diabetes. Scared me big time. In 6 months, fasting blood sugar dropped to 80. I am confident that I would be on diabetic meds if I didn't change my eating habits to be healthier.

I'm Deb and have been fighting the good fight since March 2015. Started at 264, down 40+ lbs and hovering in the 220's right now. My ultimate goal would be to get down to 132..... 1/2 my starting weight. Too far away to focus on right now. My short term goals are to get into onederland and get off HBP meds!!

Thanks for info!! I do salt a lot more now then ever before. And it is funny you should mention IF, because I do that too, but not everyday. If I am hm, my breakfast is around 10am and will eat until 7-8pm. If I am running in the morning, I have to eat breakfast before I leave, or temptations are overwhelming. I did Atkins…

I do whole30- which is an elimination diet- remove anything that causes inflammation. Then after 30 day, you slowly reintroduce foods and see what kind of reaction you have. Based on the book, "it starts with food".

Acorn squash, seriously, don't laugh, it's awesome!!! Cut in half, scoop out seeds. Spread ghee (or butter) on top with pumpkin pie spice, bake until soft......mmmmmmm

If you are bingeing on bread, I would recommend not bringing into house. Some people can definitely go the moderation route with bread, but it does not work for everyone. And it is not lack of will power either. You may have and emotional connection to bread for whatever reason or the ingredients in the bread cause you to…

It really depends on how many days you are talking about. A few days of not tracking, no big deal. The whole month of December, bad idea if your mindset is to indulge in goodies. As someone else said, it also depends on your food relationships and how difficult it will be for you to get back on track once the festivities…

I just started cooking with coconut flour and you use much less then in traditional wheat flour recipes. What you do depends on the goal you are trying to achieve. You could make a traditional one and then search for ideas on how to alter the recipe...... But will probably take some trial and error

I would say neither is wrong..... Different eating styles work for different people. Do what works for your journey and encourage others on their journey (even if it looks different then yours) Back to challenge..... I didn't realize under 100 g was considered low carb.... I am on my second month of whole food eating and…

You would be better off putting that money into clean eating

I would have hoped that "jam must be on counter" would not be a stead-fast rule in your moms house...... But the reality is that it is more important for jam to be on counter then the peace of mind of her child (adult or not, you are always going to be her child). Everyone else is right, that it is her house, her rules....…

This Don't give them a reason to continue the conversation...... When you say "I have 10 more lbs to lose" it opens an imaginary door where the other person suddenly becomes an expert on you and can fix all your problems. This is to stroke their ego , not to really help you. It is probably subconscious as well, so they may…

I am 44, & struggled with weight since my first emotional connection to food (age 7, buttered toast with lots of sugar). Yes, I remember that first moment when food eased my loneliness. DECIDE today that you are totally worth all the hard work and struggle it is to be healthy. DECIDE today that you will no longer have the…

If you are not used to regular exercise and experience joint pain after walking, you should take a rest day. It really depends on how active you were before you started.
