  • Everyone knows you can drink TOO MUCH water, right? My sister was hospitalized for 3 days and almost died due to water intoxication. She wasn't even actively trying to drink a lot. She just sips all day long. Extra dangerous when dieting.
  • Yes I get it. I was just gonna quit using the feature because it’s so annoying but I have another feature question so here I am again!
  • Week of 6/17-23 MFP has a weekly report that includes how many times I eat vegetables in my diet, but I can’t count the variety of plants. So here I am. I’ll post and edit until I hit 30 1) tomato 2) onion 3) green onion 4) sweet potato 5) EVOO 6) avocado 7) pecans 8) cumin 9) oregano
  • Your breakfast looks great, but I would substitute the hard roll out with something with more protein. You actually have all the carbs you need in the fruit choices, but if you feel you want something more "solid" add an egg, or quinoa, or an ounce of cheese. I'm no expert, but I think the whole "low carb" thing is a…
  • So happy for you! I'm on a similar journey. Looking forward to seeing more from you and when I am further along on my own journey, I may post some progress info too.
  • [/quote] I feel better even if I don’t see any change yet. My joints feel better and that should be enough to keep me going. Still trying to get into that size 22. I think I might be 2-3 weeks away.
  • Female, 51, 5'6" R73 Goal: I just want to make it through 10 days. I haven't weighed myself yet because I don't want it to discourage me. I'll weigh myself when I drop from a 24 pant to a 22 pant (I can squeeze in now, but too lumpy) So for now, I'll just post whether I've met my caloric goals for the day.…
  • I sympathize. It's not hard when you feel you're being sabotaged. Getting started is the hardest part for me. (and then staying on). Here are some things that may help. 1. Just try to summon all your control for three days. Absolutely no treats for three days. If you can use self-control and will power for just three days,…
  • I guess it's like every other weight loss plan. If you're consistent and you're consistent in a calorie deficit, then you lose weight. If you feel like you'd enjoy the support of meeting up with other people, then do it. Because your friend asked you to join her, I'd do it just for her because it may help her and then end…
  • Or try seated cardio -- just don't move that knee in ways you're not supposed to.
  • It happens to me too. If I can go a few days without eating sugary foods, then I no longer crave them. And then I have some, and my brain just wants more more more. I don't typically crave salty foods, but I have a real sweet tooth. sorry, I have no advice for why. Just wanted to reinforce that it does happen for me too.
  • >>Folk taking time out of their day just to give someone else a wee compliment is the loveliest thing. I personally find compliments hard to take, always have, but I say thankyou & try not to add "ooh I've X amount to go, you're being too kind!" cos that part is on me. Say to myself...someone has just put themselves out…
  • I would gladly give up my stove and oven to have smaller appliances like an instant pot. I don't cook much, but Instant Pot allows me to cook a few things really well. Once a week, I cook either a whole chicken or split breast with ribs in the Instant Pot. The meat is delicious and tender. I save everything that I don't…
  • OP, I had the same symptoms for a long time! After a lifetime of very regular BMs between 6 and 6:30am, every day, no matter what, my regularity changed after I gained weight and kept it on. Turned into taking a really long time on the toilet because I never felt done and having to go 3 times in the morning instead of…
  • 25 down. About 120 more to go.
  • Can't access your blog.
  • Thanks for the input everyone. I guess it's just as we all knew...everyone is different! But I've gone back to taking the D3 in the morning again and my sleep has improved. I'm also very close to dropping my dosage down from 5000 IU to 1000 IU because the deficiency has been corrected now. I'm hoping that will make any…
  • I have so many sizes that I’m wondering when to let go of the ones I no longer Fit into. Should I give away size 24 as soon as I fit into size 22? Or wait a few sizes? Try ThredUp. I use them to resell my clothes and also to buy new stuff with the credits from selling. Right now I’m so big that going down in size Goes…
