  • I had a doctor tell me that if I lost 30 pounds I might be able to cure my sleep apnea. In fact I gained 10 pounds after that, which didn't help matters much. My sleep quality got worse, and I started trending toward insomnia. I've since figured out how to quell the insomnia, but I'm non-compliant with my CPAP (I sleep…

  • I'm 5'7.5 and aiming for 150 currently. When I reach my goal I'll decide if I want to lose any further. I've been looking at calculators and am guessing that I will be happier closer to 140.

  • I usually shop twice a week, and make a big meal that lasts me for a few days (lunch and dinner). I'm working on doing weekly meal prep, but it takes practice! Also, I don't eat grains, sugar, soy, or potatoes. I stay away from processed foods, aside from my frozen veggies and fruits and oil/spices. Produce: Bulk lettuce…

I know that the government and MFP recommend that the…

  • Hi everyone! I'm doing 5:2 fasting and love it so far. My goal is 30 pounds, and I'm nearly 6 pounds down from my start date (last week).

  • I've done several multi-day juice fasts over the past year, but I just recently tried a single day fast (dinner one day to dinner the next) and I am sold. During my juice fasts, I significantly decreased allergy symptoms and by the 3rd day I had some intense focus and brain clarity. The single day fast felt nearly as good,…
