  • All good choices in previous comments. I've been eating about two Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurts (5.3 oz each) a day as high protein snacks - 80 cal, 12 gm protein. I'm more likely to eat the right foods (instead of grabbing my kids' Oreos) if it's easy for me. The yogurts are individual portion size and need no…

  • You're a great friend for wanting to help. I have a friend who was moderately overweight and hypertensive and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

I expect fluctuations and for my weight loss line to be a zig zag trending downward, so I don't get upset when I go up a pound or two for no reason, as long as the overall trend is downward. Weighing less frequently makes me more likely to cheat, thinking that I have several days to make up for that piece of…
