in Excess skin, are there any solutions besides time? Comment by scolaris January 2016

I've seen a little loose skin around my upper arms/armpits after losing about 22 lbs officially, closer to 30 unofficially. I was doing nothing, but dry brushing with a loofah each night and moisturizing with coconut oil after baths and showers has improved the appearance of my skin. The 'plumping' that occurs is temporary…

Mine got really wonky & I replaced it with an aria which I love.

in Should I buy new bathroom scales? Comment by scolaris January 2016

Oh you can do this for sure! Maybe given your health situation you need to consider a wider range of weight, say 10-15 lbs, as part of your maintenance band. You may always bobble up and down in that zone & reframing it will eliminate unnecessary guilt and shame. And for me, I always go 'back to basics' when I think I've…

in What do YOU do when you fall off of your routine and gained weight back? Comment by scolaris January 2016

No, not actual stored fat weight. The scale bobbed up & down but as of today I am back at my lowest weight yet which occurred the week before Christmas. I consider that maintenance.

in Did you gain weight over Christmas / New Years? Comment by scolaris January 2016

It really does creep... The first time I gained weight gradually I was actually happy. I had flirted with anorexic tendencies as a teen & I subsequently had a hard time gaining & holding on to weight. So I went from about 105 to 145 between ages 20-35, a time which included one pregnancy. I felt healthy and strong. My…

I eat full fat Greek yogurt. Love it!

in Greek Yoghurt- Good fat? Comment by scolaris January 2016

I've been drying myself out a little too. Feels good. We went out for a draft beer on the 2nd and that has been it so far. Be strong crew!

I agree completely @lemurcat12

Great memories Robert! Japan is on my bucket list.

in Be a 'blue zoner'... Comment by scolaris January 2016

See? There it goes.... I have in laws in northern Italy. I've lived with them, marketed with them, cooked with them. They do enjoy a sweet. But it is a TRICKLE of sugar compared to the average American's diet. But go ahead & think whatever the heck you want in your little bubble sweetie!

in Be a 'blue zoner'... Comment by scolaris January 2016

Yes. I prefer to be even devoid of mascara residue, earrings and nail polish ... LOL

in Are you totally naked when you weigh yourself? Comment by scolaris January 2016

There you go, Robert... lol Don't turn this into a sugar thread! Also, the article failed to mention TACOS. A huge oversight in my opinion. But still a good read!

I love a vega one shake with extra spinach, frozen banana, Greek yogurt & ice cubes.

ME TOO! lol... just squeeze it in where you can.

in LOVE BEER! Comment by scolaris January 2016

MFP stores it under cardio if you look for it. It's kind of it's own thing. I just like it to augment the other stuff I do. I take a 90 minute Sunday class at my Y whenever I'm able and try to fit in another class during the week. For some reason I can't do yoga two days in a row. My knees bark at me if I do.

Better sleep. Faster hill climbs. Smaller pants. All after about 3 months.

in What changes did you notice when you improved your diet and starting exercising? Comment by scolaris January 2016

I weigh everyday, but I only use a weekly average as my recorded weight. Smooths out the bumps, but I get the fun of seeing a new low number roll into town...

in Weighing Yourself? How Often? Comment by scolaris January 2016

I'm a sub, so everything you said but the fridge & restrooms are in a different place every day as well! ;-) I never know WHAT I'm walking into, so I pretty much arrive with every tea bag, every water bottle, every scrap of food I'll want that day. I don't like to snack much, but I carry some non perishable snacks in case…

Ooh good call Sabine! I love orange & chocolate flavors together. And I'm similar middlehaitch: I eat more of the tiny citrus & less of the big navels. If I'm going to eat a larger orange it's usually one of those pink cara caras. And don't even get me started on blood oranges. I love those when they're really juicy.
