whats that saying? Make God laugh, make plans? So my mom fell back in mid march and broke her right femur up by her hip. She was in the hospital and then in rehab. Well in rehab they did a *kitten* job of monitoring her (she has Alzheimer's) and she fell AGAIN last week and broke her right femur AGAIN (this time down by…

Need suggestions for QUICK/EASY grab and go breakfasts that are NOT smoothies. I didnt plan this morning and ended up grabbing a box of madelines my sister had brought me. It wasnt until after I had eaten SIX of them that I thought to look at the nutritional value. Good god 100 calories EACH! (admittedly yesterday was a…

I live for sweet/salty crunchy so I've been doing really well with carrots. I buy the prepackaged petite carrot snack packs (but hey if you have the time, make your own, much cheaper) and I'm able to crunch away on those happily. They also satisfy this former smokers oral fixation. I'm also a big fan of jerky but thats not…

This week has been craptacular and its only Wednesday. Went to my parents town because my dad was having surgery (my mom has Alzheimer's, early stages, mostly short term memory loss and broke her femur last year so walks with a walker) and so he needed me to be at hospital. get home and walking in the door and my mom needs…

To the guy who brought the freshly made, food truck donuts into work this morning, I hate you. And yeah, I had one but it bombed my food plan for the day! lol At least I just had ONE right?

How many pillows do you sleep with? at least four, sometimes more Do you have any recurring dreams? Not anymore What's the longest you've gone without sleep (and why)? In school pulling allnighters before exams or papers due What’s The Funniest/Oddest/Most Unusual Place You’ve Ever Fallen Asleep? Oh gosh I can sleep just…

I wear these because I have plantar fasciitis and stupid wide feet. If I could wear them everywhere, I would.

Hahahahahaha ahem. sorry. Yeah, on a GOOD day? 9-10 hours work 6-7 hours rest remaining hours taking care of household, husband, kid, elderly parents etc. I TRY to carve out 1 hour for exercise (usually at 5 AM so there goes the rest hours) and every once in a while I get to take a nice long bath in my Japanese soaking tub.

You got this! We've all been there! One step back, two steps forward...

I am SOO guilty of this myself! Trying this month to just log everything. I find if I do that, I am MUCH more aware of what I put in my mouth when I know I have to write it down!!

Accountability check in SW 232 March 1 231 March 8 228 1st goal weight 199 ultimate goal weight 175 I definitely eat my emotions and this was a tough weekend. My daughter came back from school so celebration (yay) but my dad is definitely declining to trauma (boo) I also am picking up more and more of his…

I'd love some more plant based recipes as well. We are huge meat eaters (my husband is a hunter and my only rule is no sport/trophy hunting - we eat what you kill) but I need to cut way back on my fats and salts so... here I am. Cheese is my one non negotiable but trying to be very particular about when, which and how much…

OMG I thought it was just me! And it was mostly WOMEN! with, shall we say... inappropriate profile pictures? WTH?

I cant find the March thread - can someone post the link? FOUND IT https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10826179/women-200lb-lets-be-magnificent-this-march#latest

Hello! (waves) Its been a little while. I've definitely fallen off the healthy eating wagon and need to get back on track. I figured march 1 was a good time to start again. My almost 90 year old father is dying and its JUST SO HARD. But I have to take better care of myself so I dont put my family through this (he has many…

Ive been (mostly) tracking but stress snacking is really being my downfall right now as I look back. Sigh. and sugar. I have been mostly keeping to my work out which helps (except one morning that I forgot to set my alarm the night before and overslept) Celebrated 26 years with my SO yesterday and wrote everything down but…

Hi! (waves) I've been off and on MFP for a couple of years now but I need to buckle down and get healthier after the last doctor's visit. I dont want to have to go on meds for my cholesterol. SW end of sept 230 CW 227 first GW 199 by year end final GW 175 Ive been tracking and exercising for 10 days now which is more than…

^ shes very right. Weight is so much a function of diet. Are you doing any kind of food tracking? I've not drastically changed my diet but let me tell you, having to write down each thing I put in my mouth really makes me think about what I'm eating. However, exercise is just good for you all around. Pool activity is a…

Its a Thai dish with peanut butter, chicken, peppers and coconut milk. I ended up just using a lot less peanut butter and it wasnt too bad but still open to ideas of how to get that peanut flavor without too much fat.

Also dont know whats WFPB? Worked a wedding Saturday (not sure how to enter THAT exercise?) so Sunday was my total go off the rails cheat day. I logged everything anyway (yikes) but it actually wasnt too awful. Back on the wagon today. Recipe question - I make a family favorite dish with peanut butter but I use almost a…

Bravo!

End of month (not too much to report since I just got back on the wagon this past week but here goes) SW 230 CW 227 exercised every day this week so far (four days in a row getting up at 5 AM to walk for an hour) logged my food every day this week so far Goals for this month continue with daily exercise continue with food…

Some great ideas! Thank you! Its getting to be Fuji season for apples. I can core at home and just sprinkle some lemon juice on them to keep from browning. We rarely have office goodies so thankfully thats not an issue. haha

I love jerky but I have to reduce my cholesterol and most jerky I like is of course beef or bacon. Any suggestions for good turkey jerky?

aw I hear you about those apple cider donuts. Man are they good when they're good and such a waste of calories when they're not. Can you exercise it away today?

5'3" CW 230 First GW 199 Ultimate GW 170 That puts me at a size 12-14 or so which Im good with for a 50+ lady When I was a size 8, I was around 145-150 pounds and smoked all the time

How do you share your food/exercise on your feed?

Cut the gym membership and bought a treadmill this past weekend - first goal is to use it daily this week. 3 out of 3 so far.

Hi! Hope I can join your group? I'm 53, CW 230 first GW 199, ultimate GW 175. I was going to the gym pretty regularly then Covid. between Covid no gym and Covid food... well, it aint pretty. Took the gym money and bought myself a treadmill. Just got it set up Monday. My plan is one hour of walking a day and TRYING to eat…
