Thank you for the kale and spinach tip. I didn't know I could freeze spinach myself.

Doc said I have RA after extensive lab work even though labs show I don't have it. Put me on meds, then next time wanted me to double them plus gave me another pill for malleria. Also told me to eat anything I want. Not taking the pills and I do not have RA. Some hospitals have a medical library and will send you info…

I am sure with some more weight loss I could place more clothes in a suit.

So a relative of mine said instead of giving up something they will add something instead. So I think I will walk every day and add more steps to it every day. Relative said also you can have a reading goal, an activity or hobby.

Oh, so that's what it's called. I got em too but too worried now about my "bat wings". I can only think Spanx might help for the skirts.

A few of you mentioned kale. I will give that a try, thanks. Wow, very detailed description, thanks :)

I donated blood in the Spring. I keep getting calls to donate plasma. I ask them to send me a brochure or paperwork about it but they say they don't do that. And there is no payment. Just to donate because people need it. But I didn't know about the problems you might have afterwards with your blood/protein. Good to know.

jgnatca, Is a physiotherapist the same as a physical therapist? Cherimoose, hourly stretching and rolling pin. Yes, sounds like a great idea. Thank you!!! I will look into the elimination diet too

:) :)

Tips to avoid cheating on your diet - write your list of why you want to lose weight, then keep on rereading it. Mindfulness - this is the first time this happened to me - I binged at 12:30am a few nights ago. Thought that I wouldn't eat breakfast/lunch the next day to make up for the added calories. I woke up, and did…

Hi, Thank you all for your thoughts and suggestions. I appreciate you all. Thank you. Flaxseed smells ok so will continue to use. I still have approx. 50 lbs. to lose so will eat just 1/2 banana. I will check out that curcumin website. My inflammation - my doc sent me to rheumatologist - thought maybe lupus. Did a ton of…

As Louie Anderson says - Butter is evil. Comfort food equals bread and butter, lots of both. The only way I can lose weight is when I eat only 1 or 2 portions of carbs a day (and I don't mean the carbs in some fruits/veggies.

Happy 200 :)

I just want to say that someone I know had migraines as a kid and teenager; many trips to the hospital. Migrelief was mentioned, some type of mineral/supplement/magnesium vitamin/pill. At the time the company was based in CA. I actually spoke to them and got information and purchased it from them directly though I think…

Maybe you have a bad batch. You can call the company, give them the info on boxes. Once at my Mom's I was wondering after a few days why there didn't seem to be so much in the box - open the box, so much of the drink had solidified at the bottom. So I used Premier for about a year and a half. Was great to grab for…

Hi, Thinking the night before what I will eating the next day. Right now, I will be weighing myself every 2 weeks. The scale really throws me off when I see a loss or a gain (undeserved by my standards). Being mindful - Two nights ago I binged at 12:30a.m. on 3 items. I thought to myself I won't eat breakfast and lunch the…

...not the food, it's the mood... seems to be a very true phrase. Many times I can have a dessert or a carb and be ok. But other times it gets me into a binge. I have tried to figure out why one exception would sometimes make me go over the edge - was I annoyed by something or someone? Was it just too many exceptions over…

Just read the site you posted about the scale plus other clicks to read other info. Very cool, thank you. Actual weight plus weight anomalies = scale weight

Thank you esterdragon, TavistockToad, GottaBurnEm, NovusDies and GettingOld68!!!! I do appreciate your taking time to help me get my head back in the game. All your words of wisdom is right on. I will keep on rereading all your smart responses. Thank you!

I have been doing well for about a year and a half, losing weight. Eating healthier. So even though I can have back to back days of not binging, I can easily go off and binge for no reason at all or I can't figure out why I couldn't stop. Sometimes I noticed I overate, not a binge though. And sometimes I have gone back to…

I have approximately 2T of hummus daily. I view it as a protein (chickpeas are protein).

Hugs and more hugs

Hi, I am 60 years old, 202 lbs now. I just lost 50 lbs. since November 2017. I am off my blood pressure meds, just taking 1x a day pill for diabetes now instead of 2. Just had labs done. My ferritin is super high. I do have a hematologist appointment next week. Wondering if the protein I am eating caused this - Almost…

Enjoy, life is short.

laur357: so funny lol "Turns out they will still let you leave the restaurant even if there are a few cold nachos left on the plate or bread remaining in the basket." So since you know that you want to eat more and/or drink, I would eat a bit less that day. If you normally have breakfast and lunch, maybe just have smaller…

Oatmeal, cinnamon, fake maple syrup. Sometimes put in some flaxseed. Once in a while a pat of butter and/or sugar if I am not caring.

You all are so awesome! Thank you for all the information. I will certainly take all your advice!!!!

p.s. bone on bone knees and arthritis. Also holding on to door, me at an angle, alternating lifting knees up. My calves and behind knees hurt (podiatrist and orthopedist and vein doctor hasn't helped or tell me why my calf and behind my knee hurts and sometimes the back of thigh hurts.

Best for continuing to eat healthy and exercising :smiley:

I know you said you will be seeing a doctor so that is great. Please tell the doc what you said here - that you want to lose weight while being pregnant. I am not a doctor and I think that is so not the right thing to do. I do not see how you plan on losing your 30 pounds while you are pregnant. You will be gaining from…
