Hi, @gin_rummy It sounds as though your life is ticking along wonderfully on the career front and on the relationship front, both massively critical priority areas for most people. That is wonderful. I don't find it at all surprising that nutrition, fitness, and food logging took a back seat during all the change in your…

Good luck. Be prepared to be thoroughly disorganized at first, and don't be discouraged if it doesn't quite work gracefully. It really does get easier with repetition. And then one day you realize you've hit your natural stride, and it all just seems to fit in effortlessly with your other activities and flows naturally.…

How much variety do you need? I've discovered that I'm just fine eating the same lunch for 5 days in a row then changing it for something else next week, then, again, eating that for 5 days in a row. Would that work for you? If not, would 2 different lunches that you eat on alternate days satisfy that need for variety? Or…

I'm like @mjrc2. I make a very large salad of raw vegetables and take a very long time eating it. Doing that seems to satisfy what I describe as a nervous chewing reflex, at least long enough for my head to figure out that I've eaten a satisfying dinner and am not really hungry any more. I'm hoping that in doing this I am…

For five months of the year I work 12-hour days for two or three consecutive weeks, get a week of normal hours, then I'm back on 12-hour days again. I'm also checking in on and running errands for an elderly relative. My schedule is really tight. Not having resources in the freezer or being prepared for the week pushes me…

Hi, @kayish Those are some pretty impressive victories. Applause from me. :)

Awww. Thanks for that compliment. I really appreciated those kind words. When I first started, it was a hard slog. The first time it took me the entire weekend to get my foods prepped for the upcoming week. I felt so disorganized, I made a mess of my kitchen, and by the time I was done making food and cleaning up after…

@bigghunny Now listen to me, Miss Hunny. All that healthy eating and physical activity you've been doing has made you a healthier and stronger individual, so a much stronger and more resilient patient. You have a lot on your side in addition to a healthier physical you. You have built up a fighting spirit of determination,…

I create a week's meal plan every Thursday, select recipes, shop with a list on Saturday, batch cook and meal prep Saturday and Sundays, and that includes individually weighing or portioning out work-day breakfasts, lunches, and snacks for take-along. My current refrigerator is efficient, set at just the right temp, and…

Hi, @CheezWhiz88. The dietician I'm seeing is one in my doctor's network, and she was tasked with assessing me for a formal report and referral to the obesity clinic. I'm happy to be interviewed for that in order to get her professional feedback on the food plan I designed by myself. My doctor originally thought I was on a…

What's Cookin' This Weekend? um.....nothing I was house sitting all weekend, and it really threw a monkey wrench into my shopping/planning/prepping habits, but I only have two work days that need take-along meals, so I was able to scramble last night and get those ready for this morning. I will be eating a significant…

Congrats to @meldwel. I'm so excited for you and determined to make it to under 300 this month, too. @cnavarro002, I'm definitely in on tracking daily steps and weekly minutes. I just updated my goal numbers to the -2 lb/week and recommitted to an enthusiastic month of August.

I wear a pedometer. A step challenge counting the steps and miles from one place to another sounds like fun.
