I usually LOVE the cottage cheese bowl with fruit and/ or nuts or the greek yogurt bowls again with light mixed fruit and nuts- always with coffee and creamer.

YES- the food scale definitely helped me- no more guesstimating about how much I was eating.

I am not sure I htink you might find some goodinformation on You-tube or some of the sites like web md- hope it helps

wonderful- I definitely will look for that magazine and article! congrats

I love air fried pork loin steaks- delish!!!

I am 62 and I have found many You-tube videos helpful- I just watch and see which ones seem to have people that look like me(smile) in other words not just ultra young folks and I follow along(I like leslie Sansone walking videos- and some other = Walk and tone videos- there are tons-- but each person has to decide what…

I will be praying and hoping for a complete healing! ALL the best! Please let us know how you came out after surgery

I think you are losing great- losing at 1/2 pound a week or even less when it is consistent is great- Also I agree about setting MFP to maintainenece for a few weeks- and THEN set it to lose .05 or 1/2 pound a day and SEE what it says-- You are doing fine- be patient with yourself - I am 62 and still losing BUT I am mainly…

Do your own research and do what is best for you-- Your blood sugar meter- or ketosis meter will TELL you better than any person- because we ALL have different goals or outcomes we are looking for- Best approach to me for any calorie restricting, carb restricting, ww or whatever is do what YOUR body responds too- and be…

it is definitely an individual thing. I too have blood sugar issues(diagnosed prediabetic)-- but I have purchased a simple blood sugar meter and if I eat any food carb heavy or grain heavy for me- I check the meter- it helps me a lot--

You can do this-- great place to start==== great reason- hold n to your WHY

I to love the youtube videos- there are so many for whatever level of fitness- I like the walking videos(leslie Sansone is fun)and there are many others- also like OP said even chair exercises can help as you build yourself up-- We are here for you- Let's do this thang!!!

I will only add- that make sure you tell your doctor how you feel and see if you need some medication to help or if they need to recommend you to another doctor for mental health issues(I suffer from clinical depression and I need medicine- so no judgement here at all)-- NEXT look at the side effects of the medicines you…

I used to feel bad and talk to myself (mentally) like I had done something wrong too- whenever I had over eaten or made a poorer choice-- like many have said-- let's turn that around- I had to LEARN to give myself grace and to NOT run myself down because of a food choice( I mean I would never do that to a friend about one…

I don't know anything about weight loss drugs'- but if you are using it with the aid of your doctor-- then don't worry about anyone else- you do you-boo--- as the young folks say-- you and your doctor know your health limitations-- also remember it may take a while to lose weight-- I have found just using mfp and staying…

Breakfast-two protein pancakes (mix) and sf syrup with 2 slices of turkey bacon Lunch- two air fryer chicken wings with cauli-rice and mixed veggies with garlic butter Dinner- picky plate(with light fruit and cheese and veggies with lean protein snack - 1/2 pure protein bar with decaf movement- usual walk to reach 7000…

do you have a food scale- THIS saved me because you can't just eyeball it-- and a half cup is so different-- the food scale is most accurate for me- good luck

If you are on any medication- check for the side effects. My doctor changed one of my medicines and I got the most horrible constipation. Which was only relieved though the use of ex-lax- but I finally called his office and I was put on a different medicine without this side effect. so check your medicines(goggle side…

Many are dropping the mask in my area(although some never wore the mask anyway-smile) BUT what are y'all going to do? I am STILL wearing mine for the foreseeable future- just wondering what's happening where you are....

y'all had some excellent ideas to try with the yogurt- I am going to try adding protein powders or the PB fit to mine- thanks

I am in GA- I got mine a few days ago-- and some other folks who ordered theirs have already received them

How about those mini- drumstick ice cream bars, mini- ice cream sandwiches- etc-- there are tons which can fit in our calorie allowance- or nonfat greek yogurt with fruit parfaits, or thoselittle jello cups or pudding cups etc.

Here in my little area of Georgia(USA)- I was able to go to an After hours or Urgent Care clinic--- I went at 8:15 in the morning and there were already 20 people ahead of me. they took my phone number (I wanted a CoVid test due to close exposure)and told me to go home -it would be about 6 hours before they could see me.…

I used the paleo birch benders waffle mix to make 2 mini waffles and egg whites with 1 slice of bacon for a breakfast sandwich which was delicious with lots of strong coffee

birch benders paleo pancakes and 1 slice of bacon with coffee and almond milk and creamer, and 3 tbs of egg whites with 1 tbs of cottage cheese yummy

Yes my air fryer and my fitness tracker- makes it much more fun

thanks for posting

33gail33 - I already have my booster---- but if I were you- I would go on and get my booster when time-- then worry abut If we will need another shot for the new variant later -- because it seems that if we are vaxxed and boosted we may be ok--- just my thoughts

I like this thread because it DOES help me and others to know that we are not alone-- and most of all- that by using mfp- a little wisdom and common sense and more knowledge-- we have MADE progress!!! I usually to eat fairly well- have been one of those women who were always "on a diet"-- but I would also always binge eat…

Exactly- I know it is not the same thing-- but I started using turmeric as a supplement for mild joint pain-- and it works for me-- but my dear friend when she tried it--- it made her sicker-- so yeah we are all different-- and supplementation is hard--- to figure out.
