👋open to more friends

Hey lovelies haha munchies sure can hit hard. Tell that to the ben&Jerry ice cream on my food diary tonight hah 😜 I don't smoke anymore but I use edibles. More than happy to support people on MFP I recently came back to the app and have no friends anymore so anyone here wanting to connect up send me a friend request. 👋 I…

Heres an update for anyone who cares... I went with the Ninja Professional Blender (With Nutri-Personal Cups) I used it for the first time today with a personal cup and it blended very nicely. Needed a bit of encouragement but perhaps the 1 cup water was not quite enough. I took the cup out and gave it a shake and it…

Thanks for your feedback and experiences everyone :)

Thank you everyone who responded, and @vegrachel78 @psuLemon I appreciate all the link drops to the studies I will be reading them. I don't have any particular desires in mind and I am not a prudent nutrient timer or anything like that. I am also physically disabled so my workouts are extremely personalized and in water. I…

I'm with ya there. I use the app, and I found myself envious of the interactions some of my small group of friends have on their posts. I'd love to try to be more social with people. I'll send you a friend request :)

Hey, welcome!

Ontario, Canada! Feel free to add me no matter where you're from!

Oh hell yeah I feel you. Food is very tempting, and comforting right now during this time! I'm trying to put down the food and use this time where I'm not doing much to reduce my caloric intake. Since I don't have to worry about feeling weak at the gym or feeling weak when going out. Safe at home, trying not to reach for…

I understand completely. I've definitely hit that point, especially with gaining enough weight on my small frame to cause problems like symptoms of Sleep Apnea. Waking up gasping is terrifying and the best solution is to lose weight. Diabetes is always on the backburner with it being in my family so trying to be more…

Hi! I'm Karlie :) Feel free to add me, I'd love to have more interactions via MFP!

Always happy to meet new people on here, thanks for the introduction! You've hit a plateau it seems, I hope that more friends will provide some extra motivation for you! :)

Wow congratulations! I am glad you were able to come off the medication you were taking for your diabetes through healthy lifestyle habtis and weight loss! I will heed your advice about watching and lowering my carbohydrate intake to a certain degree. I intake (or at least, I would intake) a lot of sugary drinks 69grams of…

Thank you for all your great suggestions! You're very kind. I will definitely keep that in mind. I'm sorry for your struggles, it seems you've hopefully been able to keep your diabetes stable and reduce inflammation, that is great!! From what I understand Diabetes can be controlled quite well through proper diet and…

Thank you hun! It took many years of trying, failing, trying, becoming injured, trying again, injured, going past limits, injured, trying again, debilitated. It was very frustrating as I used to lift weights and do cardio no problems. Thankfully, as soon as I hit the water (with an aqua belt, my body cannot even…

Thank you! Yes I have talked with my rheumatologist about inflammatory foods, I struggle with that aspect. I will not be switching to any diet that is solely plant based, however she talked about grains and gluten being items that can be contributing to more inflammation. I think that at this point I am focusing on not…

Thank you for your well wishes, that is very kind of you. I definitely think that the weightloss, exercise and healthful eating will help make managing a lot of the difficult parts of these things. You're right on! Provide some relief, the body can't heal itself if I'm pumping it full of crap lol!! Thank you, I will add…

This thread has really devolved into bickering. Is this not a site filled with adults? :# Good luck with your health, glad to hear you're making steps to see a doctor. Happy pooping in the future, oh and if people are being rude with you over this thread. You've received your advice, there is no harm in deleting the thread…

Heyo Sarah, happy upcoming birthday. I hear ya. I'm 27 also, 28 in august and definitely need to lose weight. I became disabled in my early 20s and things got changed dramatically even in the way I have to exercise now (in water) I went from 106-156-172 and I'm only 5'0 tall so I'm definitely too big for my size, becoming…

Trying to get serious on MFP! Please, lets be friends! :)

Yes it is, it's for my diagnosed medical condition chronic myofasical inflammation it becomes very difficult for me to move my fingers and it's quite frankly. I've done enough push, pushing myself through pain to live every moment of my life, it's nice to have some convenience for relief. Sometimes I hate having to explain…

Hi everyone, please, add me :) (Click on profile name > click on name again > add friend ) Let us grow (and shrink) together. Losing weight will help me considering if movements and such hurts me off, the more weight, the harder to move. I create online reviews and videos, it's therapeutic and keeps my creative juices…

Hi. It's possible you suffered a recent sprain. It's possible that your hip, knee muscles are tight, consider stretching and yoga. It's possible that it could be overuse injury in your knee and/or ankle. If pain persists see your doctor ASAP. Spending time worrying about health but not seeking appropriate healthcare is a…

Diets are typically known to be short term, so people might get caught up in that thought. Are you doing this long term? Short term? Are you making genuine changes to your eating to bring with you into the future? If so, then I'd consider it a "lifestyle change" and not a diet. If you want to avoid the numbskulls caught up…

I think you need to think about what you're choosing to see in the mirror, think positively about yourself and how far you have come! Get back up on wagon and keep on going, you may feel unhappy with your weight now but it's not forever, trust me. You have the desire, just keep on going and you will get there. You need to…

What is on my mind is thinking about how to find motivating people to follow on twitter, just joined it, https://twitter.com/Karliemyalgia

Damn man! You look amazing, great job on working on your health like that. The commitment obviously shows!

What a lovely question, thank you. I'm thankful for supportive people in my life.
