It, too, have a sweet tooth that I find hard to keep under control. I also have a tendency towards low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which is part of the cause or effect (I no longer remember which) of the sugar cravings. I worked with a nutritionist a number of years ago and here's what he had me do. It's the only thing…

Tracy--offering extra hugs. It's so hard to be in the midst of a binge and feel powerless to stop it. We are here to support you. Lynn's right--do something kind for yourself (self-care) if you can. Maybe get out of the house and get a manicure or something. Good luck with your meeting Sara. Lynn, you know that blip on the…

All-just a quick stop in. Still in the middle of serious work deadlines! 4th day in a row for me to do elliptical+resistance band workout. I really hope it helps to build strength! Lana--Being at the dentist is no fun, but think of how great your smile will be after. Sara--Great NSV's! Hang in there with the training.…

Me 6* LNS 1 Tolamarie *poof* you are back in control! Brushing my teeth and putting in my nightguard sometimes serves as a deterrent. Also, maybe do a clay facemask or something gooey! Then, paint your nails!

When nothing else worked for me, I found I did pretty well with coaching, someone who holds me accountable and coaxes me during the dark days. Have you tried or considered trying coaching through WW? I've also done coaching with Omada through my insurance, but if your insurance isn't going to pay for it, I think WW's…

I have one and use it on occasion when I don't want to heat up my oven, but mostly I use it to heat up things that aren't so healthy, such as frozen tater tots. I have a cauliflower recipe I like to do in the air-fryer, but you can only cook one layer at a time or everything sort of steams in there. I think you can do fish…

Win-win Sara! Wow, folks in the MFP branches outside of "motivation and support" can be a touch crabby and territorial! I might need to restrict myself to the motivation and support threads! Oy.

If you go down OldHobo's suggested path, I recommended the "cooking school" at Cooking Light: https://www.cookinglight.com/cooking-101/techniques/cooking-class-fundamental-techniquesi-ndex-main

Kathryn--great to see you back! Sara--it's so hard to be new and know who to rely on. Hang in there! Waving to all who follow and lurk. Good morning all! I'm about to go downstairs and workout a little. I've started (since Monday) working out with resistance bands, in addition to doing cardio on the elliptical. I'm hoping…

I really like roasting vegetables, especially root vegetables this time of year. https://www.cookinglight.com/recipes/sheet-pan-roasted-vegetables https://www.cookinglight.com/recipes/roasted-vegetables https://www.cookinglight.com/recipes/lemon-herb-sheet-pan-roasted-vegetables…

Thank you Lynn! So far, I've done ok today food-wise. I've got a ways to go.

I don't know, but I cannot stand chicken breasts. So, I eat chicken thighs--skinless and trimmed--and just allow for the extra calories. If I want a protein leaner than chicken thighs, I would rather have a piece of fish, or tofu, than a chicken breast. Life's too short to eat chicken breast.

OK, I can already feel my work stress ratcheting up, first trying to get my child to school on time. Big upset. I totally wanted to go through the drive through for something warm and high in fat, such as a mocha and a toasted bagel with lox and cream cheese. Ate my frittata instead, but, man, all I want to do right now is…

Good morning all: Runa, Lynn, Missy, Sara, Nik, Dawn, Lana, Ama and everyone who follows--it was a lovely, crisp fall day here yesterday. Hoping for the same today. Big work deadlines this week--got a lot done yesterday, but still have some major challenges ahead today, plus I have a class tonight and need to leave work on…

Waving hi to Lynn and Sara and to all who follow. Putting my head down and getting back to work. Don't forget to drink more water, all!

Good morning all! Crazy busy week ahead. Scale stubborn, typical weekend upward creep. I might try logging in WW this week to keep myself accountable. I did do 20 minutes on the elliptical this morning. Will try to do another 20-30 tonight plus maybe a strength workout. Good to see Missy and Dawn and Sara and Nik and Lana.…
