I love Naked When Protein, from Naked Nutrition. Just three ingredients: whey protein, coconut sugar, and vanilla.

I agree with the above responses, that many people over estimate the effect of exercise specifically on weight loss. That said, it is also possible to underestimate it. An hour long walk every day will burn around 200 cal. If you are already eating at maintenance, i.e., not gaining, that is almost a half a pound loss per…

I really like Naked Whey. Just three ingredients: whey protein, vanilla, and a bit of coconut.

Flavored carbonated water. You still get the bubbly cold fizz that makes soda fun to drink, without the calories, sugar, or artificial sweeteners. Also helpful that they are packaged and stored in the same way, so work within your existing habit patterns. It may taste thin or unsatisfying at first, but for me at least my…

Your idea about an afternoon snack is a good one. I eat an apple everyday before leaving work, because I know if I don’t i am going to come home too hungry and nosh whatever is available. I don’t even particularly love apples, but they are very filling, and for me and do the trick.

Your experience of course maybe different, but I think your calorie count is too low for sustainability. My (former) weight and activity level were virtually identical to yours. I consistently lost 1/2 to 1 pounds per week eating 1800 calories daily. It was sustainable and steady. I also ate at the same time everyday,…

Agree. This may be helpful: https://www.verywellfit.com/when-should-i-replace-my-walking-shoes-3436325

What protein bars do you like/find at that calorie level?

Hey rhtexasgal: if it helps at all, I gained ten pounds in about two months at the tail end of perimenopause. As far as I could honestly tell, my daily habits hadn’t changed at all, then boom - ten pounds. The good news is that after about six months, the scale started moving again, and I lost it (and more) at about a 1…

I agree with katijjaa, and find it works best for me to think of vacations as a time to *relax* my best practices a bit, but not to go off my planning entirely. After all, it is a lifestyle change, and vacations are part of life. Also, overindulging in unhealthy choices isn’t something I want to think of as a “treat.” What…

For me the key is to travel with appropriate snacks in my carryon so I never find myself overly hungry and tempted by the unfortunate food choices available at most airports and hotels. I will still eat airport and hotel food (difficult not to when traveling) but make much better choices if I have sensible snacks available…

I have no advice. I just wanted to say how much i enjoy your measured and positive posts to others, and am so happy you have reached your goal.

Try using “fingerling potato” - you are likely to find that label more accurately reflects your potatoes of choice.

I have been using this combo for months, but only had problems yesterday (June 30). So hopefully just a short-term hiccup.

Ghirardelli 60% or 72% cocoa. Great flavor, and excellent texture.

Good for you for taking these comments in their most positive possible light. That takes some emotional strength, and is even more amazing to pull off with the exhaustion that most come from having a teething infant in the house. Perhaps ask him to return the favor (emotional sensitivity) by explaining the gist of your…

This sounds a lot like hip tendentious. Mine flares whenever I increase my running distance or intensity too quickly, and it takes forever for it to settle down once inflamed. If your doctor has any solutions, I would love to hear them.

I would like to join this group, but am not sure how to do so. I am 52, and have been lurking in your comment thread for a while now. Thanks.
