@springlering62 I have really enjoyed reading the updates about your BL! He’s had such an amazing journey. I have been super inspired by both of you - these posts kept me going when things were really dark. Anyway, I’m leaving MFP and just wanted to say thanks for your honest posting. No doubt y’all are going to be awesome…

Sounds absolutely miserable.

I find this so ridiculous. There are so many other apps with the same feature for free or cheaper than MPF is offering this once free feature. I will be leaving if they actually do this. They’ve messed up so much of the app already, I basically only track weight with it at this point.

Well now they’re taking away the barcode scan feature for non- premium. Ridiculous. Had the function for years and now they want to make it “premium”. Not that they or anyone else here care, but I’m gone.

I generally eat low carb. Meat and salad. That’s just my preference. However, if my child chooses nachos for birthday dinner, I’m eating nachos and cake!!! I figure a few special days out of the year where I overshoot my carb and calorie limit won’t hurt. Not something I would do weekly or even monthly though.

Congratulations!

Look up “The Obesity Code” by Dr. Jason Fung. IF/low carb has helped me a lot.

I really enjoy fasting. I’ve been doing it for over 2 weeks. Flirted with the idea for around 2 years when I read about “Eat Like A Bear”. I thought I would hate it in the beginning. But I LOVE it. From someone who thought about food all day to someone who doesn’t think about food at all. Pretty amazing stuff to me. I…

Joe Biden said if you get the “vaccine” you won’t get covid. Fauci/Birx said the same. It HAS been said. Multiple times. Even when it obviously wasn’t true. Lots of people are disgruntled from getting “vaxxed” and still getting covid repeatedly.

Get your kids involved. Start slowly. Have them help make a big salad to go with the chicky nuggets. My kids loved to help in the kitchen and they were able to taste things as they cut or snapped them. Usually after making something g they LOVED it and all of the ingredients because they were a part of it. Then look…

It’s not a sweet option but, lemon zest, rosemary and black pepper is delicious. My kids found some Twix powder for popcorn and Cinnamon Toast Crunch powder, they love them both. Not sure the calories though.

@bethe I am going to start DDPY again next week. I was doing it a year or more ago and I really liked it. I am not flexible at all so while it’s a challenge, it’s far better than the yoga classes I attempted! I can’t be still!!! lol I also love the strength building aspect of DDPY. It’ll be great to have someone to “cuss…

I came across the Eat Like A Bear program of intermittent fasting. So I thought I’d try it. What else do I have to lose? I’m just concerned with how to fast ALL day so I can have my meal with my family in the evening….will be a learning curve but I’m ready. I am so embarrassed by my weight and ashamed of myself. I…

@NorthCascades I will trade!!! It’s over 100 with the heat index here. I really hate summer.

I am not a fan either.

Maybe try some food grade diatomaceous earth around your plants for the slugs?

@kekagal How are you doing?

I love Bengal Spice tea. It is my very favorite. Anything with a lot of warmth. I drink it with nothing added. Peppermint tea is delicious too!

You aren’t alone. I left for a long time as well. I’ve been back at it for about a full week. If we push hard and do the work, we will be fine. I absolutely love reading the success stories and what people are willing to post about their own path. Look forward to seeing you around! Good luck!

What is 75 hard? - Nevermind, I found it online. Definitely not for me time wise and probably not for many just starting up a fitness regime! Good luck to all of you doing it though! Maybe next year!

DDP Yoga has a chair force program that is fantastic.

I need to make one. That would be really helpful!

Toyota Sienna has all of the features you mentioned.

We have hives and I eat honey. Allergies are much better if I take honey daily.

I am happier staying clear of cameras and not looking at any picture anyone might take of me. I do not like the way I look in photos.

I am mostly zero carb. I can say maybe 8 to 10 from seasonings and the occasional piece of lettuce on a thick burger. Hahaha

Kirstie, Thank you for the friend request! I love making new friends! I have been eating ZC on and off for two years. I played around a bit just trying to feel better when I had my gallbladder issues and boy did/do I regret it! I gain weight so fast on the S.A.D. And I just felt bloated and gross all of the time!!! I do…

Ok mine are totally not low carb so I only drink black coffee...but when I was a S.A.D. eater I loved a white chocolate mocha and a s'mores mocha....yum in a cup. I could probably have them low carb but I don't do well with artificial sugars.

I prefer ZC eating. It works for me. It's what I like. Not to say I won't have a salad now and again because I actually like a cheesy meaty bit of lettuce smothered in full fat ranch. Or a low carb monster thickburger....oh yeah!!!!! I lost a lot of weight in a short time (I had a lot to lose) and my body just felt good!…

Would LOVE to go on one of these with my sweet husband!!! Gotta wait till the kiddos grow up!!! :).
