You've lost weight so well, I just know you will find a way to kick the cigarettes to the curb! I'm 8 years cigarette-free and let me tell you, it does help with healing. I used nicotine gum for a couple of months, but the biggest help was taking up knitting. It kept my hands and brain busy during bad cravings. I knit…

Well done!

It's fine to have a surplus of water-soluble vitamins (like C) in your diet - you just pee out the excess. It's the fat soluble ones you have to avoid overdoing. Read the label carefully on your multivitamin and decide if it's giving you the things you're short on. It most certainly won't have Omega-3. @Dante_80 What are…

Speaking of clogged arteries... you do need healthy fats, especially Omega-3 for heart and neuro health. See that you get some fatty fish in your diet or supplement.

Drop off the lion's share of the snacks at a community kitchen or homeless shelter. Make it into something you do with the kids. The very next morning after the granny sabotage lands, have them pick a small amount to keep and then donate the rest. Speak with charities in your area. You might be pleasantly surprised how…

I will count forever. It's free and simple, puts me in control, and doesn't require any hocus-pocus. It demystifies weightloss - I think that's what those people don't like. It doesn't get them views, or subscribers, or 🤑 I've seen what happens when I don't count. I am never giving up on it again. It's like brushing your…

So your husband's a keeper... Mine left me when adulting got too hard after less than 3 years of marriage. So I hope you can keep fighting for yourself out of love for him. And I hope you can eventually grow to love the person he loves. I was in a very dark place for a while after he left. I struggled to want to live. Then…

I would swap out the cereal. A combo of high-protein (Greek yoghurt or skyr) and a more complex carb like a rye / sourdough multigrain bread would give you more for your calories here. I would also sub in an apple and a small piece of cheese for at least 1 snack. Or a serving of nuts/seeds.

So in the last 2 weeks your scale hasn't moved. That's not really a plateau. For me the last 2 weeks of my cycle there is never any downward movement on the scale, and then ... woosh! Weight falls off at the end of week 1 of new cycle. Also, as the other good folks here stated, please don't do this 650 cal/day starvation…

Yoga with Adriene on YouTube. She's great and doesn't take herself too seriously, which is important. Makes it less intimidating to start and more pleasant to stick with.

I can assume I'm a rocket scientist but that doesn't make it so. Track your food. With a food scale. You can't outrun your fork.

Goodbye little Adipose! https://pa1.narvii.com/5793/0b405a70e11c1b7631bcb502445327526538c7b2_hq.gif

They should just not bother putting out a blog and hire more tech support with the money they save. If they must, feature popular posts from the forum. It's full of golden nuggets of wisdom.

Those new scales that claim to measure body fat and muscle % are very inaccurate. Don't let that data throw you into a tizzy.

That's the cutest zucchini ever! What kind are they?

If you start pedaling a minute today and add just one minute daily, in a month you'll be up to a half hour! If that is too fast and you need to take a day off here and there that is fine too. Just maintain forward momentum. Good luck on your journey!

Wear good supportive shoes that you inspect for wear and replace regularly. Also, can you do some stretches? There are lots on YouTube. Start slow and gentle. I also have a ‘peanut’ massage ball that I place on my yoga mat and lie down on it gently in different tight spots. Makes my vertebrae pop quietly when I get a good…

There are some amazing physiotherapists out there. Do your research and then do the work.

Start your physiotherapy as soon as medically possible and work at it diligently.

The first step is to get that hernia repaired. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

To a lesser extent, sugar alcohols used to sweeten many protein products do that to me also. Xylitol, erythritol, sorbitol, malitol - if I see those on the label I know explosion’s guaranteed.

Thats how I react to whey protein, isolate included, but I’m lactose intolerant. Does a glass of milk create similar feelings for you? If so, then try pea, hemp and rice protein.

Get a kitchen scale. Weigh and log everything that goes in your mouth. You will start to have good solid data of what calories you are taking in. This is eye-opening. You will analyze the data and make decisions about foods that you want to keep eating or not. What keeps you full? What gives you energy to work out? What…

My dog groomer greeted me with "You've lost weight!" I thanked her, and she came back with "No! You've REALLY lost weight!" I laughed. I was so happy to hear it. Last time I saw her 2 months ago.

Sometimes it's an abrupt decrease in dietary fats that causes things to come to a grinding halt. A quarter to half an avocado daily helped me with that. Also magnesium supplements can balance things out on that end.

I have these gorgeous knee high Frye boots I bought on sale 2 years ago... I wore them twice before I gained weight. I opened the box today and the scent of the brand new leather was almost sexy. I can do them up again but not comfortable yet. 10 more pounds should do it. And then I promise myself... I'll wear them…

@ReenieHJ I love how you love your dogs. How did you introduce a 2nd rescue dog into your life? My 6y.o. rescue Maltese boy Foggy is starting to have 'only child syndrome' or worse, 'only child during quarantine syndrome'...

I'm sorry you got hurt. Hope you heal fast and well.You are very brave, maybe a little too brave this time? The shoes look like they have no grip. Trail running shoes usually have more tread. Also you took 2 things that are already hard (running and rough terrain) and put them together. You squared the difficulty. Glad you…

You have a clear and powerful voice in your writing. Did you know that about yourself? You also do have a responsibility, despite what you say, a responsibility to yourself. If you decide to take up the challenge to save your own life, it will not be easy. But, boy, could it be rewarding. It just has to be your decision.…
