I love my shiritaki noodles. They are in my frig 24/7. Instead of potatoes, rice, pasta I have the noodles for my carb ......a protein (meat)...salad ....vegetables...and there's supper. They take the flavor of whatever you pair them with. The ones I get in my town look and feel exactly like rice noodles. I rinse them from…

Good morning Ladies.....yes we are celebrating our great country today CANADA and i am very proud and glad I am a Canadian. It's a gorgeous day today here on the shores of Lake Ontario so a great start to July. I haven't posted much in fact since Feb. ...but have been following everyones' troubles and joys. The last time I…

60 days!!!!! That makes me feel better and I am glad that the weight isn't going up just sitting there. With the warmer weather hoping to get out walking more. Lately though its been raining a lot and the temps have not been too much like spring but I will wait it out and continue with what I am doing. Thanks for your…

I was diagnozed with low thyroid when I was 50 (now 69) and have taken meds ever since. One thing the Dr. told me was take the meds on empty stomach and no other meds or vitamins for an hour or more, food, coffee to wait atleast a half hour. He also told me I must be consistent in taking the meds as they were a type that…

Good morning everyone.....haven't posted for quite a while...our month in Myrtle Beach was great...was able to walk just in light jackets which was quite the change from our nasty winter along the Great Lakes area. Was able to walk on the sand using the walker...phew...talk about exercise...but it felt good. I kept up with…

Good morning everyone.......back from being warm and walking in shoes to brrrrrr cold in the great lakes area where we call home. Haven't been able to weigh in all month but kept to my logging and eating and was able to exercise in the form of walking. So on Saturday was thrilled.....3 lb loss so now closer to goal number…

Good morning all; Pennyhedrick...I feel for you...I am in the same boat...right now my goal is 60 lbs to get to 200 lbs and then shall set my next goal. This is the 1st time in years that the weight is moving so I'm thrilled and going sure and slow to make sure it stays off. I am logging and keeping to low carbs and that's…

Hi to Healthymom.......I myself am keeping to low carb but a suggestion I would make is have one of those prebottled protein drinks in the truck. I've seen them by the case at Costco so you can keep them there and use as needed or Protein bars ...both of these items are satisfying and have good ingredients in them. If…

Suziecue25...that's good......plodding along is good because those lbs will stay off. That 9 lbs is finally putting down the bag of potatoes you've been carrying around...someone on this site told me that...and you know...they are right. Keep it up!!!! Mary from Canada

Good morning everyone....still in Myrtle Beach and although overcast sure beats being at home where according to my daughter it's snowing (Lake Ontario area) and -7 celcius. It's been great being able to walk as this winter was brutal for that with all the snow, ice we've had..I need to use a walker so needless to say…

Hello Mary (mypointhome) Welcome to MFP.....I am finding the slow loss of lbs is best for me...been averaging a lb every 10 days at 1400 calories per day. Like you carbs are at 25% and so far it works for me. My first goal is to lose 60 lbs and if that happens we continue from there. I believe the reason the weight loss is…

I think Valentine's is a lovely excuse to have chocolate. Although hubby isn't the romantic type and especially after 47 years ...but sometimes....he still manages to surprize me. The stores here have so much Valentine stuff maybe he'll notice what day it is. LOL I've been very good with my logging been under every day so…

Hello everyone.......started Oct.28th at 262 lbs and currently at 249 lbs. I swear the logging of every morsel that goes in my mouth is helping me as well as choosing to eat low carb food. I've not gone very low on carbs but chose to make sure I don't go above or stay under 80 carbs per day. This time it is…

good evening everyone...well we finally made it to Myrtle Beach...glad we waited as the roads were nice and clear and dry. It's 68 today and going higher by Friday so quite the shock to the body from the minus numbers we left. But it sure feels good to be able to walk...I even walked to the beach this morning walker and…

Oh...you sound just like me!!!!Nice and slow.....because it's slow are you finding what you lose is staying off? I think you hit the nail on the head saying "having fun discovering etc." that is what is different for me this time. When I think of something to eat (aside from my go to food), I first put it in my food diary…

Good morning one and all......well we are still stuck at home...should have been more than half way to Myrtle Beach. Unfortunately Buffalo and area was hit pretty hard with lake effect snow, blizzard and travel bans....and of course the route we are taking was hit the worst. We were not going to take any chances so Sat.…

Hi everyone...well that Alberta clipper came...dumped...and left and today nice and sunny but da...n cold and going to get worse. Weighed in this morning and was relieved didn't gain any and didn't lose any either. That's OK as been house bound so not doing much except packing. I am eating low carb so staying under 80 gms…

Welcome to both mbippy and daklock......like you determined this time...been doing well. It's been slow about a lb every 10 to 12 days but that's OK because they are staying off. This winter has been brutal as with the snow and cold getting active has been almost non existent that's why looking forward to this trip.…

Thank you AnnPT....shall think of you on a sunny day there. LOL Your right about a distraction...when we get back and the weather is still (which I am sure it will be) the same shall have to go and dig up my Easter egg supplies. I am Ukrainian and I do the batik writing on eggs called Pysanky.....once you start you lose…

hello everyone....it is still very cold here in Ontario..... so we have 4 days to go until we leave for Myrtle Beach. Although worried about the drive in the snow can't wait to be more mobile. With the weather being so cold and snowy haven't been able to get out much so boredom eating is becoming an issue. Although haven't…

Good morning everyone.....it's been quite a while since I posted on this group...but have been trying to keep up with all. January did not start out well......my husband lost his uncle on Jan. 1st and although he was ill and Doctors were on a day to day vigil...none the less he was the last of our parents generation and…

Thank you...this one looks promising...will go out to look for it. Mary

Hi Trish....welcome to MFP and my world! The same thing happened to me at 50 early onset menopause at 42 and thyroid at 50...atleast you are exercising which I wasn't but no matter what I tried nothing happened..I would have been happy with a lb just so I knew I was doing something right. So I know exactly what your going…

Thanks...I'll look for them in Publix. I really like them and use them very often instead of potatoes, rice or pasta.....have my side dish at 0 carbs. The ones we have here are exactly like the rice noodles in the Vietnemese Pha Bo soup (if you ever had it). I'm really surprized more people who are keeping to low carbs…

Thanks for the info...good to know our packaging is correct in hardly any calories etc. Will try not dry frying...didn't see the need for that anyways...your just making them wet again to whatever your adding them to. Will look into the site you provided. Mary

Good morning everyone. Yesterday went through a big snow storm (in the great lakes area) and today and tomorrow very, very cold temps. Currently it's sitting at 10 f. or -12 cel. and that's without the wind chill...supposedly worse tomorrow. Brrrrrr. Well had a meltdown on Fri. evening...scarfed down a bag of potato chips.…

Good morning all.......I realize this is an old discussion but I've only been on MFP since Oct.2018 and have been low carb eating along with portion control and to date have lost 13 lbs. I'm so happy and I believe it's the logging of what I eat each day and learning tips from all of you. My daughter actually introduced me…

Good start......I started on Oct. 28th......weigh myself once a week on Saturdays...this morning down 12 lbs...slow for sure but steady. I swear the daily logging is the difference for me. 50 lbs to go.....like you....onward LOL

That is what is helping me...the logging of all the food each day...you can see what is going in your mouth. Why don't you just start!!!!!! We are just 8 days into the new year....we will cheer you on.......just start.....we are all in the same boat and you will not be alone. Just start logging every morsel you put into…

Good morning......did my weekly weigh in on Sat. and thankfully those 2 lbs. are gone so hopefully this coming Sat. another one will bite the dust. Have been on track so should happen. Hoping to get back to water exercises by the end of this week. I love my soups so someone suggested here just adding the coleslaw from the…
