I’ve got a pot of Rancho Gordo on right now. I’m going to top with some chopped smoked chicken I made yesterday, some shredded cheese, and some homemade avocado sauce, in corn tortillas. I’m so looking forward to dinner I don’t even care much about snacks today lol.

Yoga practitioners will get this. I’ve been in the habit of adding a push up after each chatarunga for the past year to build strength. Wednesday’s instructor mentioned a particular practice that does two pushups following each chatarunga, so I thought I’d experiment with it this morning. I managed to do two after every…

Clawed back to a post-bunco deficit for the week. Weight still up several pounds, but that’s due to joint pain over the past week or ten days. Been tired, achy, not sleeping well because can’t get settled comfortably on my dang hips. Had a superlative pair of yoga classes this morning. Very little pain, felt awesome, don’t…

but the reverse is going way over and planning to make it up in coming days. Trust me that does. not. happen. Instead, shrug it off and go back to trying to make your daily goal.

agree with Tom. It all evens out in the end. You can look at my food diary and see my rather horrendous blowout at bunco last Wednesday, and yet I still had a good deficit for the week. Same with macros. People flip out over not meeting them each and every day. Heck, I just look at weekly averages and I’m generally 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻…

you’ll let us know when you appear on House Hunters International, right?!

for me, it helps to pre-log several days out. Sure, it’s an estimate, and I often change things daily but …. I know when and how much the next meal and snack are- no rushing around and stuffing my face because I’m hungry and don’t have a plan. It also helps if I have a Rapid Dinner Plan in place for a late afternoon…

oh yes, those evil little things. Even when they got bought out by Hershey’s and changed to a less quality chocolate, they were magnetic. Something about those shells. 😱 i can't stand the big ones with the liquid sugar “yolks” I think maybe it works both ways? I would love to be asked to help and would probably become the…

I’m sorry to hear about the problem, but happy to hear you’re taking charge again. Eight pounds is a hella lot better than eighty, so don’t be too harsh on yourself. Yikes. I worry about the friends thing. Mr S has done quite a bit for a friend who rolled his truck last year, but I often wonder, with kids thousands of…

or maybe they just like irony?

welcome back. There’s lots of support to be both given and had here in the boards. I miss the newsfeed badly, but it is what it is (unless they suddenly and randomly make me CEO, lol.then it’s darn sure coming back.) But work with whatcha got. Hope we’ll see you posting around here frequently.

Father Ted? We always marvel how that even got made. We quote Father Jack all the time, lol. You know what I mean. 😗 If you like Father Ted, have you checked out Black Books?

and seriously? Happy mammoth is the company name? 🤨

to me they all look the same, but with paper doll clothes changes and a growing camel toe. I’m relieved to know that cameltoe leggings are OK, because…….well, you know.

if you’re new to exercise, and particularly if you’ve absolutely thrown yourself into it, exercise can actually cause temporary weight gain. But, it’s a water gain, not fat. If you’re sore, doing the duck walk, having a hard time getting off sofa or bed because muscles are aching, those (unless you actually injured…

not an ad, but a real jaw dropper anyway. This is from BBC Science Focus Magazine. I’ll leave the side effects to your imagination.

this ^^^^ Homemade yoghurt ice cream or 100% fruit sorbet every night. Three meringues afterwards. (Meringues are typically two ingredients: egg white and sugar, and are low calorie.) they satisfy my sweets craving. Pizza: one generous slice of local from-scratch Italian pizza a week, with a small simple side salad we make…

fwiw, I can reserve swim lanes at my local Y, the local county aquatics center, or my own gym, which fortunately has a large 25yard pool. I started by being basically “drownproofed”. I took a few lessons to learn how to turn my head back and forth to breath and to do my arms properly. I cannot flip at the end of a lane. It…

bully for you for actually sitting down and researching, weighing choices, and making decisions suitable for your own self. Kudos on the loss, the reading, the goal, and pouring such consideration and flexibility into it. 👍🏻
-
ye gods @LindsayHelen1 that’s brutal! I get bruises from yoga arm balances. I tell my husband, “..when the coroner grills you about all my bruises, be sure to tell him there’s matching ones on the other side”. 🤣
-
ahhhhhhh. I see what brought it up. I totally get that. That four weeks I spent helping remodel? I got zero credit for it the first few days and got mad. I was working my tushy off, above and beyond “highly active”. I ended up starting the least calorie burning workout I could think of (“stretching”) and letting it run for…
-
and where did the 1249 number come from? That’s awfully low unless you very short, or entered a 2-lb a week loss goal. Did you doctor prescribe such an unusual number? People who lose at a slower rate are statistically more likely to lose, to continue to lose, and to keep it off
-
hi @Kayleesi94 welcome to MFP! If you’ve got access to a pool, swimming laps and/or deep-water water aerobics are both very low impact to your ankles. With deep water, you wear a flotation belt around your waist to keep your feet from battering the bottom. What about an exercise bike? A recumbent bike might not put so much…

I go to the coffee shop at least once a week with my best friend, after a very long walk. He gets a cookie. In spite of the temptations arrayed in their case, i get either a black coffee, or an iced coffee with a little cold foam. It’s all about spending quality time with special friends, right? 😉 welcome to mFP…

I second the pork. There’s several cuts that are 140 cal/4 oz. Also look for Top Round London Broil. There’s cuts of it that run as low as 130-4 oz, and are quite good grilled, with leftovers on salads or in low carb wraps. If you have access to a dietician, take full advantage. My gym has a staff dietician (NOT a…
-
I’d posit that if you’re already planning a “cheat” day, you’re already cutting too hard. Either allow yourself more daily to remove the temptation (statistically, too, slower loss =more likelihood of long term success), or allow yourself to eat at maintenance that one day. But have a plan. Cutting loose leads to guilt,…

welcome to MFP @Happy67 instarted here at 56, lost a lot of weight, increased activity, and have been in maintenance for several years. What kind of limitations are we talking about here?

and to your question, there’s no way to set it up to relate to move rings. It’s designed to work with the calorie goal you’ve set and specified exercises. You could go in and swipe left to delete recorded exercises but I don’t think it’s gonna get you where you want to be? You could always track with paper and pencil but…
-
If I’m understanding your question (which I’m not sure I am) that’s because you’re not going to get credit for all your ring turning as shown on your Apple Watch For example, I’ve turned my “move ring” four times today for 1200 calories, but only got MFP credit for 588 (see below). Apple tracks all your activity when…

I was researching, of all things, museum exhibitions for an upcoming trip, and I got on this endless death scroll of hysterically funny ads. Erm…..enjoy? I never thought of fat this way before….. Not weight related, but hey, tying cabbage leaves to your feet? Almost as good as putting bars of soap under your sheets, and…
