  • I was never a broke student, but I was a broke young mother once. My go-to item was a crock pot. It's indespensible for a busy mom. Make meals that include lots of fresh vegetables so you can halve the amount of meat you use. (Big money saver!) Another thing that works great is making stir frys. You can use little or no…
    in college student needing affordable and easy recipes Comment by MOJayhawker July 2023
  • Good morning! I was scrolling the forum and found this group. Thought I'd jump in if that's okay. I'm 56 and was just told I need a knee replacement. I'm overweight and the doctor won't touch me unless I get to a BMI of 35 or less. That's at least a 40 lb weight loss. I'm not bitter as he was right and I've known for years…

  • I'm one of those type of eaters too, Morgaen73. I'll eat until I'm sick if you give me the chance and love every minute of it. Trying to eat intuitively for me is no diet for me, it's what got me here in the first place. Since I have hyperinsulinism and high cholesterol issues, I HAVE to count the calories, eliminate…

  • I'll add you. I'm lowering sugar, carbs and calories and not having great success but some. Been doing this for 120 days and 13 lbs.
    in Need more supportive Friends!!! Comment by MOJayhawker September 2017
  • I started about a month ago too. I've lost 4 pounds but could use a little moral support since you can never have too little. I'm 55 and while I can exercise moderately, I HATE it! So I got a dog and now have to walk her and myself! Add me!

  • Brussels sprouts. I put them in the oven and roast them with spice or grill in foil. Good stuff now. I'll eat fresh kale in a salad but mixed with other greens. Has a funky taste by itself. It's a good additive to soups or meatloaf too. I eat spinach more too. I hate it boiled or steamed but it's a great additive to soups…
    in Foods you didn't like and now do Comment by MOJayhawker June 2017
  • I hear what you all are saying. I'm 5'7" and weigh 271. According to the "chart" I should weigh between 121 and 158. For the record I haven't weighed that since HS, over 35 years ago. Babies, bad eating habits and genetics caught up with me. I think the real measure of whether you are overweight is BMI. If you have a low…
    in What's the deal with the "ideal weight" charts? Comment by MOJayhawker June 2017
  • I was recently diagnosed as insulin resistant, with high cholesterol and triglycerides and high blood pressure, topping the scale at 275. I've managed to get the BP and cholesterol under control with the help of meds but losing even a few pounds has been impossible unless I starve. So I decided to follow my doctor's low…
