Be careful to not rely solely on frozen meals or foods. They typically tend to have more than a day's worth of sodium packed in which affects both your weight loss and your heart in the long term.

I'm a sucker for anything Mexican inspired! I roast veggies, throw in some beans and either add them to salads or rice!

Hello ladies!!! I hope you're all hanging in there with this winter drudgery. I do have to say that since losing weight, I have been consistently cold this winter! So... Very... Cold... I would take the opportunity in a heartbeat to move to warmer climates! I've been checking in daily but didn't do too hot over the…

Good morning! I'm quiet on community threads because I have a great cheerleading squad on my feed. I'm so grateful for that! Everything is going well- checking in daily and staying focused for the most part with my meals this week. I signed my kiddo up for spring soccer so I can rack up steps around the track. My husband…

@steph2strong Congrats on finding that new normal with school opening! Life is certainly going to feel different. Hopefully it's an easy transition for you all! @makattack220 I am a daily weigher. Like you, I feel my diet gets derailed when I don't see the numbers or progress. It basically keeps me in line. I work out work…

I love skinnytaste! It's where I get most of my meals. Her stuffed pepper soup is amazing 🤤

Hey ladies! My name is Sam and I am not new to logging or exercising. For me that's the easy part. My problem always comes from the kitchen and sticking to a plan. I'm a big emotional eater and I tend to boredom snack as well- it's NEVER healthy. The past couple weeks have been relatively successful in the eating regimen…

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some support... Seems like there's more inactive forums than are active...MFP forum grave site! I'm not looking to join any groups because quite a few I'm seeing are requiring daily weigh ins and spreadsheets. 😬 In any case, I work out regularly but my downfall is diet, or just general control.…

Hi guys! I'm an active gal looking for encouragement! Send a request with a note!

Hi guys!!! I'm an active gal with self control issues (I love carbs)! I'm here to lose about 20 lbs or whatever I'm most comfortable with. Looking for some friends and encouragement!

Sent you a request!

@jonsek I'm 5'1" and 140ish lbs. MFP also recommended about the same caloric intake as you. I ended up changing my goals around. I'm all for weight loss, but I don't necessarily feel like 2 lbs per week is sustainable or healthy. When I switched around to 1 lb loss per week, MFP boosted me up to almost 1500 calories. I'm…

Hi ladies! My name is Sam, I'm happily married and a proud mom. I'm 39.9836 years old (birthday month!) and just starting to use MFP again. I've been using other tracking methods but really enjoy the community here (once you find it). I'm 5'1" and 142 lbs. And hoping to lose enough to not be overweight and basically just…

Looking for support as well! These groups on MFP are barely used anymore and I'm desperate for friends! I'll try figuring out how to send a request!

Pinterest is my big go to, but also www.skinnytaste.com www.emilybites.com www.twopeasandtheirpod.com

@tweetprincess3 I HIGHLY recommend getting started with a nutritionist first. (Some hospitals actually offer free classes or you can talk to your doctor and get recommendations). Being a diabetic and trying to get started on a good lifestyle that you don't fully understand can be daunting and overwhelming. They can set you…

This is taken from a post that was written 12 years ago!!! MFP still hasn't adopted this idea!

Hi, I'm Sam! I'm returning again after some time away but have been steadily using the Fitbit app. I've decided I need a better support community so I've come back to MFP. I'm not on any social media to keep the phone time to a minimum, so I'd really like to meet some go getters who will be a positive influence. I'll be 40…

I agree with you! I work out every day in some form whether or be my workout program or CrossFit. My downfall is in the kitchen!

I'm the same from age to weight. I've been shooting for 1200 but haven't been following the plan well at all. I need to refocus, work out, and eat better. If you'd like to have an online accountability partner, let me know!

4.37 miles tonight Total for March 12.89

I'm at a high! I couldn't run a mile without stopping in high school. Now at 37 years old, I ran 3.55! I might be overweight (a work in progress) but I'm in the best shape of my life. March challenge: 3.55 Total so far: 8.52

I always try to fit yoga in on a stressful day

Getting in my miles on a snowy Sunday! 4.97/ 50

I have been eating some of my calories back. Recently my activity has been limited to yoga because it's been too gross outside to run, which I would prefer to do. I do it for 30 minutes 3-5 times per week. I haven't lost any more than about 1 lb/week, but because of my loss goal, MFP has calculated me at 1200. I do…

Yes, it has been only a couple months, so I do agree that it's unlikely that I've become deficient in that short of time. To answer some questions, I'm 5', 148 lbs and worked my way down from 180. I'm active anywhere from 3-5 days per week and take in an average of 1200 calories daily. It isn't but any means a crippling…

I'm in for 50 miles! I'm hoping for more but work restrictions, weather (I'm an outside runner), and my son's activities may limit more. I've never been a runner until this year where physical and mental health are a part of my New Year's Better Me resolution. I'm hoping to participate in my first marathon in October. 🤞

Of course seek out the advice of a medical professional, but everything I'm seeing is showing that turmeric has incredible benefits with diabetics. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/317721.php https://1md.org/article/curcumin-diabetes-1md https://www.thediabetescouncil.com/diabetes-and-turmeric-is-it-good-or-bad/

Thank you! I went to my doctor the other day and told her of my recent dietary changes. She said she wasn't planning to do labs on me despite this factor. I may find another doctor...
