@3moons3 wow 3 egg bites for 120 cal, share the recipe if you can, that is great!

Ok, I am a little moody, just tired of this weather and feeling bad, but the drugs probably are not helping my attitude. two more days on the pills and I should be allowed to use only Motrin. Tracking today, I am surprised how many calories I have already consumed, had a protein mix and frozen peaches breakfast and veg…

So yesterday went well considering I am bed bound and even if I wasn't it won't stop raining, so can't go outside. 1) ate way below my numbers due to not able to chew much yet and I don't really have much of a appetite. Probably due to the drugs they have me on. 2) swelling is starting to go down a little, and I am less…

Just found this site, all of the recipes are under 400 calories, and they look pretty good. I am a vegetarian so this is a great site for me, not sure it applies to others, but I thought it would be nice to share any low-calorie recipes we come across. https://thishealthykitchen.com/asian-sticky-tofu/ Once I can eat normal…

Thanks for the kind words today everyone. I am super swollen and sore. Look like a purple balloon. LOL Today I will try to stay with soup and sugar free sorbet. Feel nauseous but in a few days I should be better. I absolutely love reading your posts. Once I feel a little better I will start some meal prep. Hubs is my chef…

Wow you guys are doing so well! Ended up in the hospital and will be in recovery for a minimum of two weeks. They said NO exercise. I am so bummed! But I feel bad so food may not be something I am too focused on. Hanging in there. Will keep checking in too. I can do it!!!

OMG fresh bagels!!! Good job! 1) one hour at the gym 2) ate a small amount at dinner, super yum pasta 3) made and delivered soup and casserole for a family in need right now Keep it up all!

Wow!!! Welcome all the newbies! I am so excited for us all. I am writing my affirmations the morning after for two reasons. At night I usually forget and it helps focus me the day of. I am also struggling with a husband who loves to eat and cook in most cases non diet food. He needs to gain 20+ and I need to lose that.…

BTW Peeps, meant food obsessed, not good obsessed, LOL

Few crazy days here with our storm, flooding and tree issues so missed my affirmations. I think I will note them in the am for prior day to help kick my day off. 1) one hour at the gym 2) ate out but halved the meal before I ate 3) organized some health stuff -menopause appointment and picked up some probiotics. Love the…

Thanks for the advice. Yeah I am for sure in menopause per my doc but thought I would just tough it out. But the hot flashes at night are driving me crazy so time to regroup. :#

PS. Love you guys!!

I so love reading your affirmations. I loved seeing my pony covered in shavings after the barn flood yesterday. Made me so happy. I did one hour in the gym. Made a healthy ish taco for dinner. All good!!

OK, so we are all starting off (again) and I have a new challenge for you all, as it is the new year! I was once told to write down each day three things you were proud of that day, three things you did well. Does not have to be food/exercise related but it can be. I found it REALLY hard, I totally could not come up with…

I am sure many of us went off for the holidays, so today is our new beginning! Happy New Year! Now let’s embrace our challenges and kick their butts!

got a body scan this am for working out and seeing progress, so figured may as well start the 'beginning' of the year. Did almost 1.5 hours at the gym and made a wonderful Soy Chorizo and Lentil soup, yum!!! I do have friends here this eve and family tomorrow for New Years.....so may drink/eat more than I should but…

I am with you ladies!!! Day one tracking since pre Christmas. Back to the gym tomorrow. Having lunch out, so need to keep that minimal. Have a wonderful day all!!!

Happy Christmas Eve all!!! I shall be off the rails for two days. LOL. I don’t care, gonna enjoy everything!!! Hope you are enjoying yours!

I love how you guys are all noting your goals for the day, really nice. We should also notate our successes, what you did get accomplished that day, or what you were happy/proud of. I plan to make cookie dough this am, pick up Grands at noon and take them to lunch, then back home to bake and decorate, then ice skating…

Oh.....and for the messaging about age, I am 61 and trying my best to lose the last 20 lbs that seem to NOT want to go away.

Welcome @lalejen ! hope we can keep this thread going strong! @Italiana_xx79 I need that Crack Slaw recipe.....love coleslaw if that is what it might be??? :) Trying to hang in there, lots of prep for the holidays making appetizers, cookies and candies.....and of course I taste them all. That being said, I am working my…

oh, and about my burrito.....it was AMAZING! I cut it in half and saved the rest for the next day, but it fell out of the car and was eaten by a bear, LOL. It was meant to be!!! Karma was like, NOOOOOO, you do not need any more burrito! LOL

now I really want onion soup! LOL, going to make some this weekend for our Sunday family dinner. We are all vegetarians, I have been for around 40 years, so my son and grands have never eaten meat.....but on Sunday we are trying a new vegan filet mignon, should be interesting. We have about a 50 50 split on mock meats…

Welcome all you newbies!!!! Can not wait to see how you are doing. I did stick to plan and have been exercising like cray. But hurt my hip and taking today off. I guess at 61 I can’t jump around like I used to. LOL Pic of wine glass #1 :p

You ladies still are doing great, regardless of some slips here and there. Selene; I feel ya' regarding the parents. Unfortunately, both of mine are gone but I look back fondly on taking care of them and cooking for them. I too was (is) a huge soup fan and made gallons every week for them and my son's family, still can't…

@pamperedlinny - what an amazing weekend! All that fun was certainly worth it! I am back in the right headspace, did 30 on the walker and then 50 min Body Pump class, having a high protein breakfast.....so December you are not taking me down! Well down in weight is ok of course. LOL @3moons3 - looks like you are doing…

I too have been on/off Fitness Pal but all in all have lost. I have and love horses, had them my whole life. 61 now so ride less and no longer ride but still love my gelding and our pony for the grandkids. Also a vegetarian as is my direct family since I started that at 20 but that certainly did not help with my weight.…

Yay!!! You ladies are doing wonderful! I have given myself a reprieve for a day or two. Have to get my head right! Been exercising every day though, so that is a step in the right direction. Back on my band wagon. :)

I might do that Linda, seriously need to try something. I also am really, really sore all over due to a Barre class on Tuesday. I thought working out on Wed would help some but wow I am still so sore. So hoping some might be water weight as I am starting to build up my muscles. Who knows.... BTW, one yummy snack I do…

Another venting day. Been to the gym every day and stayed within my 1200 calories each day and today I stepped on the scale and have gained two pounds. Dang it!!!!! I will keep marching forward but it really pisses me off. Grrrrrrrrr
