I do lots and lots of Carbs and eat vegan style. It's never difficult to eat at or under my calorie plan (I admit, that I had a little trouble making it up to the calorie limit for the last two days--Stressful situation sort of messed with my appetite, but I'm back) Whole Food Plant Based lifestyle is the least expensive…

lol I'm really enjoying this thread! Resistance against moving more was futile for me too and I had become as sedentary as they come. I love my Garmin which stays pretty accurate on the Step/HR count and found a few ways to up my daily movement in ways that I enjoy so much I just want to do more. Challenges with friends…

Welcome to all!! I'm been a member for a little over a month. There's a lot of info here and something for everyone.

Super easy to feel stuffed on 1200 Kcals of unprocessed food. Volume is your friend. Complex Carbs are your besties!

Clinical Nutrition for Dummies is a pretty good "how it works" book. Nutrition Facts: The Truth About Food by Karen Frazier was printed last year and is also more of a manual about your body on food. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL51C6064FFD09FE06 - this is a playlist of TedTalks on YouTube with up to date…

I had a couple pretty painful gall bladder attacks before anyone figured out what it was through an abdominal ultrasound. I think that this was in 2004 (maybe 05?). I was treated twice with horrid ER visits and medical personnel thinking I had a heart condition. (I don't) The Primary Doctor thought it would be best to…

I double check my food diary to see if there is a reason I need more food or am just phantom hungry. I had to cut out processed food and added sugar/fat because I am addicted to them. Eating whole foods eliminated most of my cravings within a few days. I get online and read something about one of my fitness goals. I watch…

Me too. I loved to run and dream of doing it again! I'm not on a program to run yet just following suggestions from my NP who follows the same food plan I'm on and runs. I'm walking everyday with just a little bit of trotting. I'm mainly trying to increase my stamina and endurance right now. Even though we are into hard…

Spoilers!

I just look at overweight/obesity like this. In 2013, the American Medical Association decided that obesity is a disease. In my mind, that makes it a condition which is between a person and their medical care team. Teasing or shaming a person with a disease would be despicable. Just as it would be with someone with cancer,…

I really like my Vivosmart HR=, very accurate (I've checked all the facets), a decent interface and a good community. It's simple to put on and forget. waterproof.

A podcast with Dr. John McDougall.

who was in Apollo 13 with (haha) Kevin Bacon

LOL!!! Uncle Buck "That man is playing Galaga!"

good thing I love these movies: It's Police Academy 3 ( I think) "Roll! Roll! Roll in the hay!"

None! I'm tracking Macros and Water is the perfect drink.

Lost Legends of Tomorrow Sherlock a lot already mentioned. lol

Great idea! :blush:

Hi Jan, Hope your first day is going well. o:) My doctor and nurse practitioner/nutritionist suggested (emphatically) that getting fitter, eating a plant-based diet and quitting smoking would keep me here longer. (And thought I should start immediately!) I needed to reduce my LDL levels by over 100 and Triglycerides by…

I'm 5'6" and working toward 145 lbs.

Watching the National Dog Show and taking a long walk.
