I do post-menopause! Hey, there has to be some kind of perk to all the hot flashes (gone now) and weird weight gain.... Sorry, ladies! I do remember (not fondly) going through all of that. It is actually better on the other side of the "hill"!

Not seeing real varied foods nor macros in this list. Protein is there, but veggies? Where are all the veggies? Veggies at every meal! Complex carbs? Whole grains? Again, what is your calorie intake? What are your goals? About 2 weeks after that list - I would certainly give up. The title states, Food Prep..... Now, there…

January 2013 I started by walking a tiny bit. Literally, since that is all I could do. 1/4 mile made me sit down and wheeze. I would cough, sputter, spit, all sorts of things. I then started to change my diet. Baby steps - Literally - with foods and walking. 3+ years later, down 70+ pounds and run/walk (more walk) 5K's,…

Food... real, whole, nutrient dense food weighed and calculated. I, too, went down that Slim Fast road (among every other gimmick diet in the world) Discouraging to say the least! Eat foods that will fill you up within your calorie deficit and move, move, and move more! I have lost and gained back probably 10 people in my…

^^ Agree! For many many years, besides being grossly overweight, I battled bloat. Make sure there are no underlying medical issues (mine is hypothyroid/Hashimoto) and for whatever reason once I stopped with the serious gluten items (white bread, pizza, pasta, Pasta!) and sodium intake, not only did I start dropping the…

Do them!! I love doing virtual races. I have done a few 5K's and 10K's and did a Little Mended Hearts 1/2 marathon for my grandson. I went from not being able to hardly walk 1/8 mile without having to sit down to run/walk, or better said, walk/jog for different races. I love the virtual ones and I choose them carefully for…

Doing just the cabbage soup "diet" -- A Big Fat Nope. However, I make a spicy cabbage soup that is light on calories and high on spice and taste - lots of veggies (& cabbage) all whizzed up with my immersion blender and we love that soup. (not as much gas as traditional either) Only uses chicken broth, veggies, and nice…

I have not read all of the pages of replies -- But in scrolling through most everyone loves to be active with their dogs! Wonderful! Now, from a dog trainers point of view --- Please keep said puppy on lead and train to be on your left side and pace you - not pull you. Also, not sure what kind of puppy you are getting, but…

Grilled chicken on top of zoodles marinara and baked butternut squash..... now, I'm hungry!

I feel that the operative words here are "what they want"..... If, perhaps what you "want" to eat is balanced foods that fuels (& fills) your body and stays within your calorie count; then Sure! If, on the other hand, what you "want" (like many of us on MFP) is Cake, Cookies, Pizza, Pop, Fast-Food and you "want" that on a…

Started with the Flex - which is a good starting place to see if a FitBit is right for you and not as expensive as the Charge HR or higher. Have to admit, obsessed with my Flex and drove everyone nuts around me. Now, I have the Charge HR and enjoy how it tracks, especially watching my HR - find it to be pretty reliable -…

^^ This!! Log it, learn from it, accept it, and move the heck on..... If you dwell on it and say, "screw it, I've ruined everything so I might as well not even try anymore....." Then, yes, 1 day can ruin everything.
