Weight is lost by eating less calories than your body burns. Always. No matter what weight loss program you follow. Someone has, or does, figure the calorie deficit of the plan. For those of us who have lost on MFP, we figure and record calories ourselves. Successfully lost over half my body weight (140#) in a year, with…

You should encourage her to consult her doctor about this.

Why not snow boots? I wear them every day. I’m on my second pair of UGGS. They have quite a variety. I’m in Minnesota. We get a lot of snow, and we have been below zero for a week straight. They are easy to walk in.

I have, twice. It’s really common. Some statistics say as many as 90% gain back all the weight, some gain back even more weight, within 5 years. For myself, it’s going back to bad eating habits. It’s that simple, but not easy to do. Being diligent, and not allowing more than 5 pounds of weight gain has worked for me this…

I hope you got helpful information. Best of luck to you! I apologize for my part in hijacking your post.

They used a lot of salt to preserve meat and fish. BTW, what was the average life expectancy? Comparing now to then is pointless. My opinion only, of course.

Everyone is different, and there are exceptions to everything. In fact, my health has improved by limiting sodium. I never claimed anyone should eliminate sodium. The truth is, you are your own best advocate. Do what’s best for you! I’ve been here a very long time. Lost a lot of weight and have kept it off for years now.

There’s sodium in many unprocessed foods, which occurs naturally. Meats, dairy, eggs, vegetables for instance. Not very likely that anyone would be able to totally avoid sodium. I disagree that not adding salt makes food inedible. Quite the contrary. I cook without adding salt, using herbs and spices. Average Americans eat…

Use fresh food and prepare your own food as much as possible. Use herbs and spices with no salt for flavoring. There are many sites on the internet with low sodium recipes.

This is a 13 year old post🤷🏼‍♀️

That’s what they’re recommending. I’ll ask the pharmacist on Monday. Neither of us have had much reaction with previous vaccines. A little tenderness maybe. We’ll see 🤷🏼‍♀️

When we got our first two boosters, they said to wait 3 weeks to get any other vaccine. This one is for the new strain. They’re scheduling them with the flu vaccine, and it’s being encouraged by doctors. One in each arm. https://www.nytimes.com/article/covid-booster-flu-shot-same-time.amp.html

Over six and a half million people have died from Covid. People are still dying. We aren’t world travelers anyway, but I do think that common sense should be used. Mask up in enclosed areas, hand washing etc, wherever you travel. Regular flu seems to be on the rise this season. We’re scheduled for our 3rd Covid booster and…

Maybe think about consulting with a weight management facility that specializes. Weight loss occurs when you eat less calories than your body burns. That’s fact. You have consistently done this, with no results. This doesn’t sound like anything random people on the internet can solve. The best we can offer on this, is the…

A February 2020 post. This young lady twas still in mid-normal range at 138 for her age and height🤷🏼‍♀️Yes, some drugs may increase appetite, resulting in consuming more calories than your body burns and weight gain.

I would think calories and fiber are the same. Let’s use orange juice as an example. Some people who drink juice, are actually consuming more than the juice of one orange. One average sized orange is 1/4 to 1/3 cup of juice, not much juice. Certainly served more at restaurants.

I don’t know where the mindset comes from, but, after years of buying into the myth of not being able to lose weight as easily after 40, I found MFP. The success stories of older people here inspired me to try. March 12, 2012 started MFP @290 pounds with doctors supervision, at age 60. February 10, 2013 down -140 pounds.…

It tastes good and gives pleasure and it’s something you have to do to live. It takes discipline, determination and awareness for me to not over consume.

Other Eating less, moving more 10-1/2 years lost 1/2 my body weight

No matter how weight is lost, calorie counting is involved. Either you are keeping track, or someone has determined calories and tells you what and how much to eat. Water is the only thing that doesn’t have calories. A lot of veggies are very low calorie, but not calorie free. To lose weight you have to eat less calories…

Nothing wrong with carbs or sugar in moderation. Boneless skinless chicken breast or other lean meat. Eggs. Salad. Veggies. Sheet tray bakes with protein and veggies of your choice. Greek yogurts.

Homemade. Thin crust. Toppings, veggies, thin layer of sauce and fresh mozzarella. Two slices, under 300 calories.

Like all food, I had to just eat less of EVERYTHING, including sugar. Just like every food, I allow a certain amount everyday. Candy was the hardest for me, so I allow 2 pieces at the end of the day for staying within my calorie budget. Usually 70-80 calories.

Losing weight happens when there is a calorie deficit. Less calories consumed than your body burns, no matter what program/plan you follow. So yes, MFP has worked, and is working, for many.

Oops burn more calories than you consume. (My last post above) BTW, I lost 140 pounds between March 2012 through February 2013. Other than initial weight loss spurt, (winter to early spring) lost pretty evenly throughout the year. 🤷🏼‍♀️Whatever works.

It’s different for everyone. You’ve discovered what works for you, but not necessarily true for everyone. It’s an individual process in so many ways, the common factor, for weight loss is burn more calories than your body burns.

You say you prepped your meal with the salmon in mind. You could let him know you’re disappointed, but why not take him up on going to get another piece of salmon? Or eat something else?

If you use a little spray on “I can’t believe it’s not butter”, spices/seasonings stick better to the kernels. The sky’s is the limit for tastes, sweet or savory. As far as caramel goes, try one of the sugar substitute’s websites for a lower calorie recipe.

Many people do it. Weight loss is all about consuming less calories than your body burns. Exercise is not necessary for weight loss. Exercise can help achieve a calorie deficit, and is very beneficial to overall health.
