Swiss cheese is a healthier cheese than most as it has one of the lowest sodium counts. I wouldn't kick myself over it. Just don't eat it as your only source of dairy,

My little dachshund, Oscar Meir. He's an All American wiener. MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

I'm not a coffee drinker so I couldn't say about butter in coffee but the thought of anything that floats on top of a drink and looks like an oil slick seems gross to me. Having said that, I drink a grain coffee substitute that I make from roasted whole grains. So it looks like coffee, but doesn't have any caffeine. And it…

I can only tell you that self-sabbotage comes easy to me as well. So the first thing I've had to do was tell myself what I said when I quit smoking: YOU'VE COME THIS FAR, DON'T STOP NOW! Applying it to weight loss: -then you have to start all over again and go through all the pain associated with starting -then you have to…

Howdy!! 63 here!

Thats what I use also. A hometic. I love the TARE feature!

By the way, salt is only a preservative in bread. I've been baking for years and have learned that yeast actually self-activates and loves a teeny bit of sugar much more than it loves salt.

I am on a low sodium diet due to liver disease. If your husband is on warfarin (I'm on xarelto) he cannot have potassium chloride replacement salts. This is even more important if he's on other heart related medications or has AFIB. So here's what I use: bensonsgourmetseasonings.com/saltsubstitute.html I wish they had this…

For breakfast I had a waffle (small); a fried egg (not in grease) and some faux coffee. Lunch was my own rendition of Chicken Shawarma, made in an Instant Pot, with homemade, lower calorie/low sodium naan and 1 oz crumbled goat cheese, cucumber and tomato.

Because people watch the Kardashians to begin with? I do watch my 600 pound life and I like how they note the time its been taking the people. They don't put it out there as a magic bullet to weight loss if a person gets the surgery, either. But the Kardashians? The only reality they know is in their pockets. And I'm not…

Could you share a little about your scale? Maybe someone is looking for one.

what type do you use and why so you like it?

EASY NAAN * 1 cup, Non-fat Greek Strained Yogurt * 1 cup, Self Rising Flour * 4 tbsp(s), Ghee * 0.50 tsp, whole, Spices, fennel seed This is a twist on Weight Watchers 2 ingredient bagel. Mix all of the above EXCEPT FOR THE GHEE together and incorporate with hands making a nice, soft dough. Roll out with pin into elongated…

FYI to the young crowd: REDHEADS GRAY BEAUTIFULLY! I know. Im a redhead who has grayed out (in my 60's).

May I recommend that you first visit your doctor and/or a nutritional expert? While forums are nice, everyone is different and every need is different. I'm 22 pounds down on my 100 pound weight loss journey. But how I'm doing it may not be appropriate to you, though I will share it with you. I use MFP to count calories…

For me its being able to get away from it all, even for just an hour, and listen to soft music and do something creative.

I've always known why I over ate. It was a combination of several things and likely, that's the case for most people. [Please bear with the length of this post if you will.] When I was young, pre-teen, I was being molested at home. It was happening to my older sister and, when she got too old, I was next. It wasn't every…

I'm glad to see people recommending in-person professional help. Though its never a bad idea to have a close friend to talk with, a professional is better equipped to help you with the problems surrounding this issue. Did you know there's also a diary feature on MFP? You can write your feelings down and either keep them…

Or you can go to this page: https://myfitnesspal.com/user/search to find people already on MFP to request friends of.

Here's a secret: do what is right for you and YOUR needs when it comes to weight loss. People will tell you all kinds of things. I know a woman who swears she lost 50 pounds drinking vinegar. Well, she developed an ulcer too, which made eating a pain until she got the ulcer fixed. What I have to do for me may not be right…

One of the things about food is that it's a social event. Few people "eat alone" all the time. Food brings people together! Maybe you could talk with whomever sets these things up and ask if they could select places that have a menu friendly to people on restricted diets or that has their calorie count on the menu? Or,…

its a one time thing, go enjoy yourself. If you've been losing weight for more than a month, this means you're eating less which means your stomach has been shrinking and you'll naturally eat less (or get sick of you don't). Pay attention to your body signals. Below is my list of stay away from foods at a chinese buffet: *…

For me its when people start giving medical advice or diagnosing others.

I write and do crafting as well as gardening. I also love to cook, especially to redo recipes to fit my needs.

I used to go to PF and changed over to Crunch. Mainly because I moved and Crunch is closer. Plus they have rowing machines, which PF does not. You're right about the lack of an "in your face" no judgment" approach as well. I don't really care if someone drops their weight of clangs a machine as long as nobody is being hurt…

for me its something very simple: A hard boiled egg.
