You can do it, log it all for awareness.

Well for some, I guess simply cutting sugar beverages out, they could lose. Especially if a person drinks a 2 ltr a day (no not me) but I’ve seen it.

1/2 cup of oatmeal - 1 serving is 150 cals, so adding a teaspoon of jam might be wasted and be too blended. I’d add a tsp to a crumpet or waffle to taste it. If you are looking to sweeten oatmeal, 1/2 box of raisins is 50 cals. Or just add some berries like blackberries or raspberries instead of jam. Or just account for…

Some great advisement here, thank you. I've never heard of Chair Yoga before...interesting. Insightful on the lowering with maybe just a few added exercices like chair squats. I'll see about getting advisement on actually doing that properly.

Funny you should say that - I was thinking today, wouldn't it be great to fit into that dress again - actually was wondering if we could look at each other the same way, not sure about that part - but absolutely the fitting part.

Good advise, I "wish" I could add the moderate/ vigorous activity - an auto accident in 2009 left me with some spine & tailbone, pain mgmt issues...(elderly woman ran a red light and hit me in drivers door going 45 mph). I have my tracker set to the sedentary. I had another minor accident (rear end), and fall last year out…

Thanks thus far for your insights thus far. My blood sugar seems to be worse in the morning - I've been eating a low sugar diet for about 10 years. However, as I've tracked my food this past month, I realize that my protein/fats consumption has been significantly higher than they should be (I like beef & fajitas, and…

I’m assuming most people are on a personal journey, and we are all travelers having a park bench conversation. Some stories and points are better than others. Even those who are new to the forum are not new to the journey. I think this is a great no cost tool and am glad the community bench exists.

You could probably do a cleanse for a couple of days, but track what you are eating in the tool so you can see deficiencies.

I’ve been losing almost 2 lbs a week for last 3 weeks, so plan to keep that up and retest at the end of Jan if I have 15-20 loss by then.

Multiple stores. I have a veggie delivery each week from local farms, shop at aldi and use Peapod giant online delivery, shop mostly sales & will visit shops for sale items. I plan around sales/seasonal.

I’d recommend seeing primary doctor for full physical, blood panel and meet with a nutrionist one you have your results. That will help you maintain what you need.

Usually it is the uncooked weight for rice, 160 cals per 1/4 cup wild and 220 for white +/- . For fitness, recommend 5 mins on bike, then upper or lower (alternating days) then olyptical - start 10 mins only then each week add 5 mins. I recommend this eve work out. However am or mid day if you can do 15 min walk that will…

2 cranberries for aesthetics, ocean spray cranberry lite (5 cals) (4/5th) plus dearpark sparkling (1/5th) chill both, put in pretty glass no ice needed. Big hit.

Pickles (different varieties - I like dill, which is typically 0 to 5 calories, I have a variety of pickle types, so if I want to be snacking :). Also rice - I was reading the "dry" serving size on the package as if it was already cooked. So basically whole grain rice, is a lot lower in calories than I thought per 1/2 cup.…

Yep, I'm there too. I'm exactly where I was at 9 months pregnant too....Crept up over the last 10 years. I'm only in week 2 of tracking, I've lost 3 lbs. I had lost 7 earlier this year, but wasn't trying so I was down' trending for six months, so figured I better continue the trend. My goal is to lose 40lbs all together.…
