👍👌👏🥇

My loss is 35 pounds since Christmas, 2019. Not impressive, but I'm getting where I want to be. I eat sugary items, although I have cut way back on it. Example - I just had a breakfast of oatmeal with milk and brown sugar. Then there are the foods I eat with added sugar at the factory. Thing is, if you burn more calories…

My wife takes a magnesium supplement that she swears got rid of the night leg cramps that plagued her for years. I suddenly started getting the cramps and she suggested I take the magnesium, too, but to no avail. After three nights of excruciating pain I realized I'd forgotten to take my medications (8 prescriptions for…

Well, if the trash bag isn't heavy enough, the yogurt could be used to weight it down a little bit. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

How 'bout with a 6' Belgian?

Only if you set the timer.

People keep defending sugar because sugar cannot defend itself. Should the question be, "Why do people keep trashing sugar?"

Realizing where the sugar comes from or how much is being consumed will not change the way one loses weight. If you've been losing weight, discovering how much sugar will not change that - won't stop it, speed it up or slow it down. This sudden realization may cause you to rethink goals and/or eating habits, but if…

NOT criticizing. I'm not familiar with Samsung Health, but if it is better than MFP, why not just dump MFP?

What help are you looking for?

Quoting in case anyone missed it.😲 And because I love the truth, accuracy, and precision of it! NOT NOT NOT knocking any tool anyone uses to obtain their weight loss goals (unless the method is unhealthy or dangerous). I happen to be using more than one of those tools. I think it is important that people remember there is…

Regretfully, no. No bread in the house.

There are three major ages: * Older than a Boulder - self explanatory * Older than gravel - which is made from boulders * Older than dirt - which is made from gravel Oh, wait, I'm supposed to be guessing YOUR age, not my own. Let's see - kind, tender face, so not old enough to have been crushed by too many boulders. Yet…

Unless there have been new masks designed, tested and certified in the last couple weeks, any masks that permit easy breathing during a cardio workout are not effective in blocking the virus. Most, if not all, masks being sold for use during sports are great dust masks, but a wearer should keep in mind that dust particles…

I'm old! 😜 But welcome to the phunny pharm, anyway. Some questions (NOT criticisms or put-downs) to consider:* Why do you want to lose weight? * How much do you want to lose? * Do you need to lose weight? From what you've said it doesn't sound like you do. Based on available information the logical conclusion is that you…

This is an issue that, probably, should be discussed with your doctor to obtain more definitive results.

185 pounds. Recently weight loss has been slower than in cooler months probably due to nice weather, great BBQ, and cold beer. 😁

We can eat out and still meet our calorie and other health goals. * First step is to know the nutritional values for the foods being served. Most chain restaurants now provide that information online, and some also provide in their menus. Knowledge is power. * Know what you'll order before going in and figure out how much…

It's never too late to improve, but the longer one waits to start - the harder the road will be.

A tone deaf musician.

I dunno if I want to support someone else's anger. Mine is hard enough on me! 🤣🤣

I was diagnosed with T2D last December, so I'm pretty new to it, too. I've been looking for a group ( or more than one ) that addresses some of the issues concerning diabetes and weight loss, but haven't really found any. You could start the first one. 👍 However, there are many many many posts that can be helpful with…

Is it going to rain today?

* Experiment. * Every body is different, but one commonality is the plateaus - they happen. * Trust your numbers, especially the scale, but use the same source of the numbers every time. Even if (right, "if" 😜 ) your numbers don't reflect an accurate reality, they give you a target to aim at. * Keep to your calorie goal…

I'm in the same boat. If I remain mentally active in the evening I don't snack, but if I sit in front of the boob tube I feel as though I'm starving. So, I spend time with hobbies in the evenings. Or try to. There was a time I could eat the way Igfrie described and not gain an ounce. But no more, and those habits are hard…

I dunno - I think snacking is much more fun than scanning. Usually. :D

Three weeks ago I bought new clothes - shorts, jeans, and slacks - with a new 6" smaller waistline. First time in over 10 years I've been in 40's. Working towards the size I was in 20 years ago - 30's.

Eat less, eat better, move more.

Sugar, like most foods, can be part of a healthy diet. As a T2D I can eat an occasional serving of full strength chocolate ice cream (with all its sugary goodness) without spiking my blood sugar or adding so much as an ounce of fat. What I can't do is eat 3, 4, 5 servings (as I used to) and not suffer the consequences. But…

Absolutely not! I don't want to be stuck anywhere!
