As a treat each day for staying within my calorie budget, I have a piece of Dove dark chocolate Promises. 40 calories.

What works for me is all foods that I like in moderation. Staying in a calorie deficit. Moving more. Paying attention to macros. Raw veggies prepped and ready to grab for quick snacks. I always have bananas and fresh or frozen fruit on hand.

400,000 🙏🏻 Beautiful remembrance at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2021/01/19/ap_21019815622881_wide-1e5da84502fafea22bb47433cdf9157c95d32145-s700-c85.jpg

Weight loss happens when you’re in a calorie deficit.

Accurately weigh, measure, and log everything you eat and drink. Weight loss happens when you ar

I like the turkey wrap with Dijon too. Broccoli sprouts, sliced radishes, and red onion. Under 200 calories. Sometimes some thinly sliced cheese. Still under 300 calories.

Our governor is making an announcement at 2 pm this afternoon about where Minnesota stands at this point in vaccinations. I know that he, and a couple other governors met the other day (maybe Wisconsin and Michigan, not positive which governors) regarding promised doses never received. He’s wants some answers on the…

I use the flat out wraps too. Plus cheese of choice. I have a cheese planer that slices it very thinly. I like lettuce wraps too. A lot less calories than cheese wraps.

For me, denying any foods, never works. I learned moderation of all food. I overate a lot of food, not just chips and candy. I’m hoping this will be my new way of eating for life, whether losing or maintaining weight.

I love food! Love salad with romaine, arugula, radish, bell pepper, red onion, sliced strawberries, chopped pecans, blue cheese crumbles and strawberry vinaigrette.

Shingles requires a second shot. A coworker had a sever reaction to the shingles vaccine and was hospitalized. My husband has had both shingles shots with no reaction. I’m really torn about the shingles vaccine.

I remember this too, suburban Minneapolis, elementary school. We crouched down in the halls covering our heads with our arms during drills 😳 They also talked about loading us into boxcars to get us away from the city. Wouldn’t fly today. No school psychologists then. This was during the Cuban missile crisis. Also they had…

Yes. Absolutely! A lot of people lose weight without additional exercise. Exercise is important for good health, but not necessary for weight loss. BTW, I lost 100# before I even began to walk more.

If you’re breastfeeding, you should consult with your ob/gyn regarding calories needed for maintaining milk supply. If not, and you are sure you’re logging and tracking accurately, I would say give it more time. I do have a Fitbit, but I don’t really pay attention to the figures. It’s more motivational for me to move more.

I live in Minnesota. I think the situation here may be a good example. Lock down last spring as it was many places. Restrictions eased in early summer. Covid got increasingly worse into fall. Early November, our governor went back to early lockdown restrictions. We steadily improved over this time and on Monday,…

The problem right now is getting to the point where everyone is vaccinated. There’s a long way to go to get there though. It’s no different than getting an annual flu shot, so shouldn’t be an issue at all. Except for cost, for uninsured or if insurance doesn’t cover the cost. In the US, long overdue for a universal health…

I’ve seen the 90 day figure as well. I think it’s one of those things that they’re really not sure about. Perhaps, just a regular cold. Maybe your immune system is slightly weakened from your bout with it in November 🤞🏻Hoping for the best for you with your clinic❤️

Water is in a lot of food and beverages we consume. A good test for hydration is the color of urine. Pale yellow shows good hydration. Water is zero calories. Diet pop, black coffee, tea, all have a couple calories, so if you drink a lot of these you may want to count them. I don’t, but, some people may.

Not a big deal converting. You learn to convert pretty quickly I’ve found. We all have to do it if we want to know. OP, it can be done, but usually for people that are severely overweight. As far as healthily, for most, probably not. I was severely overweight and lost 140 pounds in 11 months, under a doctors supervision.…

In more ways than one, it appears that common sense is sorely lacking, in this country.

kimny72 is correct. Each state is determining how it is distributed. Nothing has changed here (Minnesota) re: vaccinating people, since vaccinating began in December. Currently vaccinating people who work in health care settings and people who live, or work in long term care facilities. We have been in a similar situation…

Biden plans to release all available covid vaccines, getting as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible. Hopes for 1,000,000 vaccinations per day very soon 👍🏻

I agree that anyone that is offered the vaccine, should have no guilt taking it, no matter the tier you are in. There is a certain percentage of people eligible for receiving the vaccine that are refusing it for whatever reason they have to do so. It’s better to get it into a shoulder than having to destroy the dose. It’s…

So sorry to hear this. Is there anyone that can run and pick up necessities you need? Maybe leave it at your door. Did you stock up at all on canned goods? I’m not a religious person, but I find myself praying a lot now. I’ll keep you, your mother and others in my prayers. Please let us know how you’re doing. ❤️❤️

The quote was unnecessary to continue the aspect of the topic

First of all, I’m not one of the disagrees you got for the above comment. Second of all, if your comment wasn’t directed at me, why did you quote me? Third, my comment was sarcastic. I am aware of cold storage requirements, and not just for the covid vaccines. Your post suggested that I did not. This vaccine isn’t any more…

Learning to moderate all foods is what works for me. It’s hard adhering to denying any food so I try limiting everything to fit in my calorie budget. Doesn’t always work, but I try, and it would never work long term for me to cut out any food I love.

Thank you for educating me, but I’m aware of the protocol in place for vaccines kept at below freezing temperatures. My concern is with the human error element. Intentional or unintentional. I’ve been concerned about this from the beginning. Case in point, a pharmacist at a hospital in Wisconsin, who intentionally left…

It’s sad. A friend of my daughters (mid 30’s) 4 year old was diagnosed with covid this week. February 2020 her infant had heart surgery. Just before Thanksgiving her husband had a kidney transplant. How much can one family take?
