  • For those not familiar with SIBO, it IS Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth. The small intestine come after the stomach and before the large intestine. When gut motility (movement/peristalisis) is low, food stays in the small intestine too long where bacteria (good or bad) have a field day. The bacteria overpopulate.…
  • Sleep, habits (eating with tv?), hydration, and life stress ?
  • I felt this way when I was younger. I couldn't see it then but my opinion of myself was the one given to me by media. I worried non stop about weight and different ways to change it. All around me, the adult women were doing the same. Female family members and their friends, my friends mum's, auntie's going to weight…
  • You might have more luck if you do not ask for an email address or phone number. Keep comms within MFP perhaps?
  • Hi Luis. I have what I call Multi System Disease. Lots of endocrine, autonomic, metabolic, digestive, faitgue, challenges.a great lifestyle doesn't fix my challenges, but it does relieve it a bit. What is your October goal Luis ? I don't mean weight loss goal. I mean habit training goal
  • I'm not sure that I find it harder. But I am less hard on myself. Which means I can't be bothered to give myself a hard time for over weight management mistakes. It also means less discipline because I'm not prepared to be my own harsh critic. Motivations have changed. If I was this weight five years ago, I would have been…
  • Women carry a lot of undiagnosed health conditions such as hypothyroidism, PCOS, fibromyalgia, that cause weight gain, hormonal imbalance, and crushing fatigue. Because they don't get diagnosed properly, women who are burnt out assume it is the new normal and accept it. Men are more likely to receive medical investigation…
  • There are HEAPS of online workouts to do at home, and yoga classes. Good nutrition, and great sleep, will help the rest. Theres zero point guessing how this will affect other people, we can only be the change we want to see! Focus at home imo.
  • Just keep stepping to.the left and then the right left right when you get lost, which could happen heaps as it does to everyone. Stand at the back so you're less self conscious. But even people that go all the time are self conscious and or have no rhythm . The moves start simple eg just your legs then build to include…
  • HI welcome back @azkunk 😀 That's sounds like some light relief bit no clear answers. When my cholesterol and BP were high , it was because of a thyroid problem but my thyroid was tested and came back within normal ranges. What I didn't know then is that my region dont test all the thyroid tests, and that coming in range…
  • I ate veg broccoli chard tomato. I walked for exercise. I tracked. Tomorrow goal is moderation!
  • @OCDOD ...and chocolate and sweets and burger and chips !! Lol
  • Another day happening! Goals are to eat veg and exercise and track. Yesterday a small niggle in my lower back on one side travelled to my hip and it's painful to sit and feels stiff. I hope it's muscular rather than bone tendon ligament or joint sac! Time will tell. I think it's how ivery been sitting. ...a lot and…
  • Chard, broccoli, carrot, cabbage, tomato are the veg I got today! Walk and gym...tick! Track - yes.
  • Well I have gained 1.5kg in a week, but I wont worry about it. Ill just carry on! And blame it on the late night eating, peanut butter and bhuja mix!!! I do love snacks!!! Goal for today is to track and get some movement. I would say gym but dont want to let myself down!!!! Go well everyone!
  • My goals were to track and to eat heaps veg! I didnt get much veg but can eat more tomorrow (i had to have teeth work and couldnt eat colourful foods on case of staining!). My goals for tomorrow are to eat veg and track.
  • My goal for yesterday was track and eat veg. I definitely completed that My goal for today is to track and eat veg and go to gym. Today I can choose from corgette, tomato spinach broccoli carrot beet redcabbage. Have a great day everyone.
  • Unless you are a man or pregnant or very tall or put in that you are highly active, it sounds like your calorie goal is incorrect. The how many lbs you want to lose per week is the place to adjust , assuming your height weight are correct. With 2050 you may feel that is fine and lose slowly .
  • Today's goal is to track and eat veg. Have to admit I'm unprepared and working all day. See how it goes! !
  • Well I tracked today goal met! Ate hardly any veggies :( Lived on fruit bread and eggs mostly! Maybe tomorrow is the day I make the juice and cook the cabbage!!! I did walking and yoga today. Tomorrows goal is just to eat veggies. Go well everyone.
  • Heres how I did with my goals today (so far still a few hours before bed!) Get real and aware !! - a bit more keeping it in mind yes. No instances if sore full guts !! - oh only a little but not as bad as the last few days! Make a beet juice ! No i did not do this ut did eat green veg and salad and fruit! Walking or…
  • I'm glad I post here because overnight I had completely forgotten my goals! ! So today I will make a beet ginger carrot apple juice. And I will get very real with myself about how much I am eating. I am maintaining at the moment but have started to gain . It's the usual cycle. .a few on a few off and not because of water…
  • I do read all the updates here but it's challenging to write considered replies to everyone when finger tapping from my phone !! And most posts are on the previous page and I can't see the names to tag ! So I'll say get well to everyone who is feeling a bit poorly! Yes you can to everyone starting out and carrying on 😀…
  • So I decided to take a few days off from tracking again and I am enjoying that. I am still eating healthful foods and exercising. I hardly ever get hungry because I am always stuffing my face, and this is something I would like to work on. I am still meeting goals of only one bread at a time (in fact Ive swtiched to brown…
  • Click on a person's username. If the page it goes to doesn't have the option to "add friend " then click on the username or photo again and it will on the next page. Binging sucks. I've been there and probably will again at some point. My best strategy is to have lots of healthy foods like raw veggies in dips (carrot…
  • Hi yes there is a thing called Sarcopenia which everyone gets - muscle loss as we age. Muscle burns energy so the less we have on the body, the less energy we burn! Also lifting weight does great things for feelings of wellbeing, confidence, bone density, and brain function! So its really worth it! Dont be put off by 'lift…
  • Is it really hunger ? Are you very active? If you are tired or thirsty then the brain sends signals that get confused with hunger. So make sure you are in bed 8 hours a night. And drinking heaps of water. If you are very active then you can genuinely burn through food fast but burning through a chicken breast in half hour…
  • Hope everyone is feeling good. I chose not to track today and might not tomorrow. Been.pretty sick with headache and body pains and dizzy weak! Probably could have done with fasting to help the body heal bit eventually hunger had me making a salad with salted nuts, fish and rice followed by Apple. Way too much food…
  • Today is one of those days I am bored of thinking about food. I am bored of the taste of morealess everything I eat. I am bored of feeling too full. I am bored of feeling delighted with myself for eating 'good ' . Today I would just like to have a nice day , have a nice walk , see some nice people and generally appreciate…
  • HI Tom hope you are going well? Seems like Noone uses these groups? I use my age group thread for accountability. In forums under motivation and support.
