Starting as of Wednesday 1/1/2020 Water: 96 0z per day, got it Fiber at least 14* Logged Food: Got it Exercise as Planned: Cardio, no issue. Issue is really for strength training. I have a bad forearm, wrist, hand. Literally cannot lift anything above 2 lbs with right hand/arm. I can and do circles. But cannot figure out…

Original starting weight - May 2018 305 January starting weight - 228 January goal - 223 Ultimate goal - Once at 188, I will determine a more realistic goal. I weigh in on Saturdays 1st - 228 4th- 11th - 18th - 25th - Total loss for January - Onward and Downward we shall all go!

Hearing aids, are not fond of getting wet. So I have been trying to find headbands, that are actually as moisture wicking as they say they are on the package. Hearing aid makes a high squealing alarm noise when gets wet. Which sort of freaked out some other people in one of the spinning classes.

Count me in this same category. When I look up food I always indicate the food, and want the net carb. It helps lots for food/meal planning/medication planning being a diabetic. I also do track fiber numbers, I do not need to track sugar numbers, because of what I eat that is not an issue at all. So I would rather track…

With many of the Fad Diets, and why people flock to them repeatedly. Many not all, but many promise quick results, with little to no work on the persons part. Those just make me laugh. And oh the numbers of them I tried decades ago, I should be slapped for. I did not wake up one day, and say gee where did all this weight…

This sounds great, I want in. Highest Weight: 305 Current Weight: 228 12 Week Goal Weight: 213 Ultimate Goal Weight: undecided, first big stopping point 183 I follow low carb, being a diabetic this has really helped with my blood sugar numbers. About 55 per day. But I also have a calorie limit as well. Weigh In: 12/23/19 -…

Realizing to be successful, Rule 1 my head has to be in the game. Rule 2 I weigh everything I eat. But the little things that have made a big difference. I started using a smaller plate for dinner every day. No more big dinner plates. No reason to fill it all up. And when I go shopping, on that same day, I slice and dice…

For me, I had to have my head in the game. I literally wrote down a pro and con list about losing weight. I am a type 2 diabetic for 20 years plus. I had successfully lost about 65 pounds, then I let life get in the way. My fault, but when over 5 months I gained 15 back. I slapped myself up the side of my head so to speak…

Be kind to others, as we never know what burdens they carry inside.

You might want to consider as one of the items to track is fiber. Why because with the carbs you are consuming, you could run into the issue of not meeting daily fiber. I dropped sugar and track Fiber daily. And actually find I need to supplement it at times. Agree regarding sodium needs to be higher than what is…

Original Start Weight: May 2018 305 Restart Weight September 2019 250.6 December Start Weight: 231 December Goal Weight: 3 lbs Ultimate Goal Weight: Undecided, once I get to onderland, will think about this.

I cannot remember which post, or the name of the poster. It is someone with lots of posts, and been on here a long time. I believe they are a pretty serious runner. Had some really good information that I personally have found extremely helpful for some basic information about calories burned in different ways. I believe…

Congratulations on your amazing transformation. Your hard work really shows!

Mostly staying on track. But well the 24th and today Christmas day. Well I went way over the carbs. For some reason much worse on the 24th. Hit 91. Today 68. And I caved someone gave me the small package of Ferrero Rocher Fine Hazelnut Chocolates, and I savored each one. So right there 230 caloried and 16 net carbs. Truly…

I knew today Christmas I would be going way over. And I did. I had some full fat, real sugar chocolate candy, the one I cannot resist. But is done and over now. Had dessert too! Enjoyed every last bit of everything. Tomorrow back to being good. And I recorded it all.

I knew I should have taken a picture. One of my favorites it was very simple. A dinner salad, others had garlic bread. And the main event. Well there was a nice sale on. So we had Alaskan King Crab Legs with Garlic Lemon Butter. And had some friends over. For dessert I made Tiramisu, mine had no ladyfingers, everyone elses…

The story is that it is supposed to strengthen and lengthen the spine. Can take the place of a myofacial massage so to speak. Seems kind of pricey to me. And I watched the video a few times, and what struck me was gee they never mentioned that people could line up wrong, slip off it and so on. All these people tried once…

So what will you do, when you do not lose ten pounds each and every month? Now if you have lots of weight to lose, then losing 10 pounds per month for some months can be a doable item. But to expect that you will continue each month to lose 10 pounds as you get smaller, will become harder and harder and really is not…

Congratulations! Keep up the good work! Hopefully you will be able to add some carbs back and be able to keep the A1C down nice and low. I say this from standpoint of being a Type 2 diabetic for 20 years. And by being Low Carb, about 55 or so a day. I too have great lipid numbers. However due to length I have been a…

Staying under carb goal of 55 per day, Except I had two days where I went over at 77 and 90. But on one of the days still stayed under my calorie goal for the day. Logging every day, Measuring all foods Exercising 6 days a week, 45 minutes minimum. Weigh in once a week, on Saturdays Stay away from real deal Holiday sweets,…

I am 61, in the last 17 months I have lost 76 pounds, and am still working on the other 58 lbs to get into a healthy weight. Been post since 2009. I actually have found it easier, because on MFP due to logging all I eat, and really understanding how important the food scale is. Do not look for reasons why it is not…

When you say over eating. Are you talking about portion size, too many times per day, what you choose to overeat? Have you figured out based on age, height, weight that you currently are. How much weight you would like to lose per week and input that information into MFP? So you get an idea of how many calories per day…

Most of what I have read regarding water consumption, does not say that coffee should be separate. Meaning water in one column all other beverages in another. Remember coffee is mostly water. Unless you are drowning it in sugar and creamers and based on how much you state you are drinking I do not think that is the case.…

I think the word motivation over the years has been beat to death. I agree with most everything already written. But for me, my big aha has been weighing everything I eat. I admit I use to be an eyeballer. Now it is a total habit as I make anything, weigh all ingredients, I do not even have to think about it. Now a truly…

Staying under carb goal of 55 per day, I normally bank a few for weekend Logging every day, Measuring all foods Exercising 6 days a week, 45 minutes minimum. Weigh in once a week, on Saturdays Stay away from real deal Holiday sweets, convert to alternate flours and alternate sugars. Be in control, reap the rewards.…

Having read all of the posts on this strand so far. Here is the one question I have. You state that you generalize portion sizes. What exactly do you mean by that? Because that may be part of the overall issue. Say you are estimating a piece of meat to be 112 grams, and it really is 196 grams. Plus you put some type of…

Guess what? You do not get to make up the rules of what topics MFP is all about. Many different topics are all over MFP daily. It is not just about CICO. Gosh even the blog, and info that MFP puts out touches on other topics. While I most certainly can wonder why someone decided to drink a gallon of water a day, it was…
