sorry, all that was unloading to say “judge you”? Who are we to judge you? you are amongst compadres here. Many of us have have lived this life you speak of. (Is anyone else having issues with this cussed new board, with punctuation and such?)

oh, honey, Puh-leeeeez. Sugar? My morning started out with two or three or four cinnamon twist donuts from the Publix bakery, a couple of quick, easily disposable candy bars from the check out for the drive to work. I also “needed” to pick up a family size bag of M&Ms, and a couple bags of chocolate pecan Geneva cookies,…

wow, I really like this idea.

ok. Honestly, I can’t hate on this one, but I did think it was funny presentation. After all, Lycra is the only thing holding in umpteen rolls of leftover waist for me lol. Everything else is just grand, but that waist….. Thanks, mom? 🥹

btw, nice new profile pic!

She does indeed mean this app, Chris. I’ve gotten fourteen requests hanging fire from obvious scammers. I haven’t replied to any of them, but they have all the earmarks we’ve discussed here a thousand time before. At least if my husband gives me any lip, I can show him the gallery of handsome older men breathlessly waiting…

@MurlockCupcakes Pam, what a lovely post! @laura4359 Honey, it’s like the chicken and the egg. Weight loss gave me self confidence. Starting made my head spin and sapped what confidence I did have for a while. I didn’t think I could do the one while lacking in the other. I was wrong. Me being judgy of me was what was…

sooooooooo many questions.

I use “notes” on my phone for three things: 1.)a list of easy meals I can prepare from memory great to review when I’m having a “what should we have Wednesday?” moment 2.)to create a dinner plan every week, listing by day, so I can easily reference what’s coming up or what I can pre-prepare (ex: green lentils last night…

ever seen a Cheeto? 😆

are you trying to lose too much, too fast? It’s so easy to be wildly enthusiastic, and dive into the deep end, cutting calories really hard and even piling exercise (and possibly more exercise) on top of that. I bet you’ve set a goal of 1.5-2 lbs a week. Lower your goal to .5 or 1 per week, give yourself more food. Yeah,…

every Sunday, I smoke or grill a big chunk of meat on our electric smoker grill, and I enjoy it all week long. Tonight will be a large piece of London Broil. Next week will be a large pork loin. Both meats run in the 140-190 per 4 ounce range, depending on cut. Smoking tends to tenderize meat. (I use a Ninja Woodfire-…

@BCLadybug888 what a lovely trip! Your daughter is awesome. My husband just hit the big 7-0 a few days ago, and all he got was a FaceTime call, and a birthday card of cat butts. 🤣 I did the trip through a group called Mayan Hands. They do one per year, and are “not a tour group”, however, the tour was amazing. They find…

pulling for you 100% out here in internetland. 😘

but that’s too close to his bedtime!

If I understand the labels correctly, it’s just ground cacao and brown sugar, but their brown sugar seems to be much sweeter and intense than ours, based on a taste I stole from a sugar bowl. Same for their chocolate bars, which prob explains the grittiness. I sampled a basil chocolate bar I brought home yesterday…

@SafariGalNYC Lewis Bakeries makes a terrific low carb/low cal burger bun that we actually prefer over “normal” buns. I think they sell nationwide, but not all big chains carry their products. Kroger does.

I just got back from Guatemala last night, where I made it my temporary purpose in life to sample as many different Guatemalan hot chocolates as I could. I didn’t care for the chocolate bar I got. It was gritty and unpleasant. I didn’t care for it to the point it took me four days to eat. Had to force (!!!!!!) myself to…

Welcome back @bobbinalong The Friends Newsfeed was discontinue last year having “friends” serves no purpose now, unless you want to PM someone In fact, you’ll find pretty quickly that any new friend request you get is either coming from a romance or crypto scammer My last 19 have all been fake profiles with no user or…

are you using an Apple Watch? Are you doing anything besides walking? Is MFP capturing the other exercise you’re recording on your watch? If not, you’re not synced properly. Lmk and I’ll be happy to share screen shots. It’s all a learning curve! But once you get your watch synced it is, literally, life changing.

thanks, Ann. I wanted to try the Mayan backstrap weaving. I have utmost respect for these women. It’s computer programming with sticks and strong, and they simply roll it up at night. Mind blowing. Both of these pieces are woven. I’m tickled at the idea of your “visual journaling of a misbegotten nature”. That could go so…

I feel like I’m talking to myself. WTHeck are you guys up to?! Heading home tomorrow. I’ve been home for 36 hours in the past six weeks- long enough to swap winter clothes for summer, and to pet the dog. The cat never even came out while I was home. I never thought I’d be happy to stop traveling and stay home! This is the…

hi @aubreymasaveg Welcome to MFP! First off, you have a very small amount to lose. The closer you are to goal, the harder/slower/more frustrating loss can be. Many people new to the app get wildly excited and enter that they want to lose a pound or two per week, and set themselves up for failure with the resulting super…

I’m seeing variations of this ad as I doomscroll in my hotel room. Can’t help but wonder if Quaker is planting these things, lol.

Hi, @g07748605. Welcome to MFP. are you using a fitness tracker? Have you set it up to sync with MFP? You have to allow permission in the privacy area for your device and/or phone to sync with the app. For my Apple Watch, I used the health app on my phone to do this. I'm currently on vacation and deliberately didn’t bring…

is it wrong to be less interested in the secret oat slimming method, and more interested in why she has paw prints all over her body and lets her britches fall off in the kitchen?

I’m still traveling. Been on the road for almost six weeks. Stayed a few days after my tour wrapped up, to take a couple of backstrap weaving classes. Home Wednesday. As said before, travel is usually “I want it all! Have to try! Once in a lifetime!” I suffer from FOMF :Fear of Missing Food Even though I’m currently taste…

once again, torn between liking, being inspired, feeling insightfulled, and just plain hugging a poster. We need a special award to gift once in a while, like Reddit.

belated hugsies and wishes for a fast recovery!

lol @BCLadybug888 not a spy, I have a kid who lives in Europe, plus I like learning about and particularly admiring others’ embroidery, weaving, and handmade textiles. The creativity of others is humbling I’m currently on a textile tour in Guatemala that has turned out to be a real joy, both the organization running it,…
