  • Thank you for this. Sleep is something that has been very, very difficult since it happened. That has been the hardest part. Our cat has been so good to me. She was never a lap cat but now she is and she sleeps with me every night. She misses him too and is trying to take good care of me.

  • I am 50 and new to posting on message boards here. Late last year sometime, I decided that it was time to get into shape and began using a Vivosmart and logging all of my meals here.

  • Thanks everyone. I was always going over on the protein, it was the calories that I needed. I have never been accountable with what I am eating so this is all very new. I did better today. I was under the impression that you should eat as little fat as possible so I stayed away from things like peanut butter, but I see…
    in Turning 50, just started here, calories question Comment by claremaigheo August 2015
  • I will google calorie dense foods. I am a very, very picky eater so that makes things a bit challenging. Is it okay for the other things on the list to be over the limit by a bit in order to get the calories up. I just can't seem to find a balance.

  • The goal set for me is 1200 but I"m always around 850-900 or so and feel fine. I've never been a big eater. This is the number without exercise.
