I request team placement in Thinner Winners or next available open slot.

Enchilada casserole, sweet potaro, avocado, peach for desert

I was kind of late joining - somehow my notifications are messed up if that was where the announcement for the summer challenge was posted. I really didn’t know about signing up. I’ve been with Thinner Winners since fall 2023 and feel bonded with them, but will go with any team that has an opening Thanks

I use it for smoothies but found I can use it to mix up the batter for crepes.

I sometimes xheck the community postings in health and weightloss , food and nutrition and fitness and exercise but the other day I explored the other categories. when I looked at challenges the 2024 winter 5% team challenge caught my eye as something I could do and hold me accountable to taking off my winter weight gain.…

Goal - My doctor said I need to stay hydrated, so I’m going for at least 64 oz of water/day not counting coffee, tea, etc. Exercise - I do senior shape videos inside. I plan on walking (with my cane) at least 15 min outside 3x/week. Nutrition - follow the mind diet and let myself eat cookies and sweets only on weekends.t

I would like to join. I love a challenge and this looks great!

I have the fitbit Inspire3 that I got in May. It measures steps, HR, calories burned (maybe not so accurate), and activity minutes/zone minutes but does not measure blood pressure. Cost is under $200.

I don’t think this is lowcarb but it is high protein - Kellogg’s Hi protein chocolate almond cereal. 1 cup=29g carbs, 20 g protein from soy,lentil and pea protein. I can’t taste the chocolate but. I think it must be in there to disguise the plant basedprotein taste. And 1 cup= 240 cal.

Try increasing fiber.

I use exrx.net

Thank you!! I didn’t think of going to my desktop to see if I could make the changes. Works like a charm.

Aarp has abook out “The whole body reset” geared for older adults. It basically suggests using protein timing, that is, spacing your protein intake over your 3 meals and snacks rather than eat most of your protein at dinner. That’s 25-30 grams per meal. And getting adequate fiber, I believe they recommend 30 grams. I just…

Try going to eatingwell.com and click on meal plans and select the diabetes one. There should be a 2000 calorie plan. Hope this helps

When I go to the doc they weigh me with my clothes. And shoes on. If Ididn’t put down my purse and cane they would probably include them.😋

I grilled the beyond burger and it tasted ok - not exacrly like a real burger but good. They cost $5.somethong atmy Whole Foods. I think most of the cost must be because of the packaging. The 2 burgers are nestled in a mollded to fit plastic tray,wrapped in clear plastic and topped off with a cardboard sleeve. Seeemed like…
