umm, errr, wellll, now that you mention it. . . .

Truckload of recipes here https://www.nutriliving.com/recipes. It's Nutribullet, but the recipes should work.

I have a diabetic husband who was on Metformin for a while. His endocrinologist stressed healthy meals at the same time of day every day, and would have been irate if hubs had tried fasting. I agree with others - see a new doctor.

Start weight 182 CW 179.5 (gotta be water weight, no way did I lose 2.5 lbs in 4 days) GW 167

My hubby is T2, and started out on insulin injections 2x per day 4 years ago and is now off insulin and managing his condition with diet, exercise, and a,regular schedule. He eats, exercises, and sleeps at the same times every day. In the beginning he was testing after every meal and after exercising to get an…

Wow! Didn't cry until the last scene. Then lost it.

I really like Moving Comfort Maia. I order them from Brooks Running - two colors are on sale for $34, reg price $58.00

Most of my students came in for weekly one hour personal training, and group training for one hour sessions 1 - 3 times a week. Some did less, some did more. A very small number came for 2 hours personal training in the afternoon, then returned every night for group training. Do whatever fits your schedule, and keeps it…

I taught ballroom dancing for 8 years, and was an amateur competitor for years before that. I was in the studio 9 hours a day, 5 to 7 days a week. When I wasn't teaching students I was practicing for competitions & exhibitions. The best pro I knew worked out 4 hours each morning - running, swimming, yoga, and aerobics -…

You can measure once a week if you like. I told my students once a month just so they would see bigger numbers when they did measure, and so they would stop focusing so much on the scales. ;) It worked for most of them, but I had one student who was so adamant she couldn't be losing that many inches with no weight loss, so…

I'm a former dance teacher. All the new students would be thrilled for the first few weeks because they were losing weight without dieting, but two or three months later they would be despondent when the weight loss stopped. I would tell them to start taking their measurements once a month. They always lost inches even…

What I want to change: I'm a fat flabby old woman, and want to be an unfat unflabby old woman. LOL CW this morning 181.1 GW 167

Shucks. I was looking forward to your explanation. LOL

My first challenge. I lost 12 in the last 7 weeks then gained 2 back. :'( would like to lose 15 by Nov 30. CW 182 GW 167

Entemmann anything, Little Debbie anything, frozen processed foods like pizza, TV dinners. I LOVE Ben & Jerry's. Hubs gave me a t-shirt that says "Body by Ben & Jerry's." He's still alive. I love the shirt and will wear it no matter how much weight I lose.

Maybe it's envy, maybe it's fear of the changes needed to improve themselves, or maybe they think that if you decide to make a change, it means you didn't really accept your body the way it is and the thought process stops there. For me, I accepted the fact that I'm fat, and have made the decision to do something about it.…

Well, I moved away from the pc, and am now curled up with my phone in front of TV. I ordered a food scale but it hasn't arrived yet.

Well, the rest of the bag is rolled and clipped, sitting by my keyboard. I will not touch. I will not touch. :( But I don't think I dare tempt myself again. I will finish the bag later this week after saving up for them. Maybe they'll be stale by then.

"Merkavar Doesn't everyone want more pizza? That just seems like a lesson you need to learn. Learn to stop your self, self control, that feeling hungry isn't going to kill you. If you know you have had enough calories, ignore the feeling. " Waaah! :'( I have no self control! I've been thinking about Kettle Salt & Cracked…

I have a Withings Smart Body Analyzer. I loved it at first, but it stopped syncing after the first 2 weeks, and customer service is less than helpful. IF you don't mind writing down all the data and manually entering it on your dashboard, it will be ok. I also have the Withings Pulse Ox which syncs beautifully after I…

Sounds kinda like my family. I spent my life doing things to please my mother, and longing to hear her praise, just once in a while, instead of the constant fault finding. When she died, I realized how much of my life had been spent ignoring my needs and trying to please her. I love her still, and I miss her a lot, but I…

Oatmeal <sigh> because it's easy & I don't have to think early in the morning.

Florida

I probably won't notice a change until my chest sticks out farther than my belly. Or I can look down and see my toes without bending forward.

well, if there's justice in this world, he's gained about 100 lbs since then. I really don't care to justify his reasons for doing what he did. Bottom line, he was inappropriately touching, and verbally abusive. He hurt someone deeply. No excuse for that EVER. Thanks for sharing PinkPixie. Helped me deal with my socially…

I try to eat protein rich foods like chicken, fish, and beans at meal times, but if I find I'm low on protein at the end of the day, I'll have a protein powder drink. My preferred powder is Gold Standard, but I'm out at the moment so using Six Star (30 g protein, 0 carb, 0 fat). If you go the protein powder route, you want…

Welcome, Toby! I hope you enjoy the journey to a healthier lifestyle. Folks here are very helpful and supportive. I've been here less than 2 months, and I doubt I would have continued my journey without MFP.

Metabolism shuts down at age 30? !?!? Uh oh, I died 37 years ago & didn't know it! Guess I'd better cancel my gym membership and tell my physical therapist and personal trainer I'm a figment of their imaginations. Oh, and tell my surgeon he just did ACL reconstruction on a corpse. And the 12 lbs I lost in the last 6 weeks…

My employer tried this a while back but then stopped

Hi there. Welcome to MFP.
