Its old, but I've always lived by it... "Eat to live, don't live to eat"..

A doctor, you really need to get this checked! Especially since this isnt the first time you've felt this rip.... I have 3 thoracic discs that are in bad shape, bulge bad now. I first realized it when a ripping, sudden pain gripped me, affected my breathing as it traveled around my ribs. Like others have said, you really…

I have bad food allergies, grains being a major no-no.... so is refined sugar, milk products, processed foods (chemicals).... Fresh veggies, fruit, meats and fish is all good, except for hi starch veggies like potatoes, corn and parsnips... My "normal" daily carb intake is 80-95mg.. Not hard for me to stick to, the…

I love the coconut milk creamer, and am CRAZY about all the guilt-free Jordans Skinny Syrup flavors! They are awesome for an exta pop of yummy to any smoothie! :D :D

Due to health reasons in my home, I've become a better cook, and better grocery shopper. My husband loves soup, but is seriously salt restricted (heart). I quickly learned how to scrutinize ingredient labels, and was shocked by the INSANE amount of salt (and similar salt-based) thats added to most favorite foods, SOUP is…

I weigh in every day right when I wake up, on my older digital scale..Nothing fancy, I then add that to my total diary. I know some people frown on daily weigh ins..For me, I enjoy logging it along with every thing I eat/drink (all weighed and measured). I started MFP mid February, and have dropped 13 pounds, still 12 left…

^^^^thank you for this diagram! <3 :# :)

My food scale, measuring cups and spoons,(along with my MFP log) has truly opened my eyes as to HOW BAD my "guessing" has always been! :p I've never been a big eater, especially junk food. I have severe back condition that keeps me physically slow for long periods of time, so even "normal" healthy eating can turn to…

You're in my prayers... be well

I wish, not for me tho... my sitution was from a serious illness that stripped my guts and almost killed me, C-Diff... just after that, I spent a year in and out of hospitals with yet another illness over and over, SIBO, Small Bacteria Overgrowth. The bacteria in my guts never really recovered, and are maintained now with…

This saying has been around forever, Ive never been in a gym or trainer (no need) before recently. The trainer i used to get me started, never said it, but didnt dispute it either. My program is based on this, I know with my diet and these types of excersises, I'm not just losing weight (again, not much to lose), but Im…

YEP YEP YESSS!

I agree, but I ONLY know that because I got gut honest with myself about my own medical/physical limitations. I know that Keto might fry off some water weight quickly (or a LOT of people are lying lol) but the risk to my health wasn't worth it. Probably loads of "lose it fast" diets out there that also may work, long or…

Im sooo new to all of this (excercise, other than PT!) and I'm soo enjoying all of it (diet, movement! :smiley: ) I always keep in mind a really old saying I always heard.. to build muscle/size, use heavier weights and low repetitions.. to TONE your body, use lighter weights (or no weights, treadmill, elyptical, bike etc)…

"Who Let the Dogs Out" !!

My diet hasnt been an issue to stick to (dont eat much to begin with, appetite is lousy right now). I think the CICO makes weird senss right now while sick, its the same as before calories IN, but my "obvious" calories OUT has been soo minimal compared to before sick. Still losing weight, just realize its because my body…

Oh am I feeling all of this today

Oh am I feeling all of this today I felt so much better this past couple days, have "behaved myself" for almost 3 weeks now so I thought that was why, Im getting better! BIG MISTAKE. Last night, within just HOURS, the fever was back, congestion slammed back in, no voice and now have a sore throat sooo back theres actually…

Thank you! I've stuck with my diet this whole time, and other than a little weight gain I haf on the 2 weeks at sea cruising (where i caught this

Thank you for all your help and support here. I believe I've turned a corner. No more coughing, no fevers. I took all your kind advice, and I'm better for it

Search the web for "belly bloat". Its real. Its caused by certain food types, and preprocessed food chemicals. I know because I'm very allergic to these foods, the bloat is horrid, painful, no cheating allowed. But seems many suffer this to varying degrees, not necessarily full blown allergic, but "sensitive"? Might I…

Thank you so very much for your replies and well wishes. This is really kicking my butt. Still feverish during the day, and hack up lung stuff at night. I've not even considered going to my gym (or anywhere to be honest except the ER a couple days ago). I caught this last week on a cruise, no way would I risk giving this…

WOW!! I'm impressed!! Newbie, am LOVING the learning experience of this app!

Thank you both so much. I'm downing my water, had a nice cold protein shake this morning with good balance of P,C&F.... will have roast chicken and greens for dinner. Thankfully my food consumption problems are usually not ENUF food on most days (i do log everything), but wasnt sure if i needed to cut back/add to any group…

We just got home from a 2 week cruise. WOW. Such a change in the overall SIZE of the majority of the passengers from our last cruise 3 years ago. I couldnt get over the mega numbers of truly OBESE people everywhere, and the constant plates of piled high FOOD everywhere, continuously! We were told by others we met, that a…

My thyroid is literally dead, (family trait), I take meds to compensate. I've never noticed a weight gain because of this (although HAVE had nasty reactions to other drugs that have blown me up like a Thanksgiving balloon a couple times!) I have to eat seriously clean, no sugars, chemicals, milk products, starches or any…

It's not just counting calories and recording them. Its dividing up the calories into the best proportions, ie: carbs, fats, proteins, etc. A 1500 calorie a day diet wont do squat if its mainly carbs and fats. Moderation, and proportions. It really does work..
