I just rejoined a few weeks ago after having forgotten and moved on. Feel free to add me if you'd like. Best wishes--

Wait, what's an OMAD and AHMOD and other terms like that? Moderators, or...? No clue--thanks.

Thanks. I am always happy to meet folks, so anyone who wants to add me can. I am glad to finally know how to do it!

Yup, I also rejoined here and saw that what I was eating normally, although vegetaraian, was insane calories and sodium, and have made intelligent efforts to reduce those. I don't always hit the recommended calorie goal, but the sodium is way down, and the calories are okay, and I do a lot of dancing around in front of my…

My husband has these, the gallstones and sludge, and finds that having much less fat helps bigtime, as well as observing the rules for reflux--smaller meals more often, not lying down or sleeping in the 2-3 hours after eating, etc. Good luck. There is good information out there (and complete baloney too), so I hope your…

I still don't know how to add friends, but anyone who can be understanding of a vegetarian with health issues who is trying hard can add me--good luck to everybody!

Since I am often at home alone anyhow, I have found that having my partner here fulltime, and me having the incentive to cook well for both of us, has made huge changes in the quality of food and fitness and weight in both of us. I restarted myfitnespal (which I had forgotten for a year or few) and that helped me see that…

I have no friends here yet, and am unsure how to get them since nobody I know uses mfp right now and I don't want to spam people to join. I'm vegetarian and trying to avoid the outrageously high sodium in prepared foods, and cook a good creative meal maybe once a day, and do a lot of dancing around in front of my computer…

Hello everybody. If anyone wants to be friends, especially with a vegetarian who eats oddly (one daily big vegetarian homecooked meal usually, and mostly-healthy snacks the rest of the day, and a lot of water) but is trying to avoid the extreme sodium in prepared foods, please friend me. I don't know how to 'friend' people…

Indian vegetarian food based in tofu and vegetables--it was great, eaten with some coconut oil in there for healthy fats.

Vegetarian chili with all kinds of organic vegetables and beans and tvp (textured vegetable protein). It was so good we ate it for two days in a row this week and wished there was more! It was so rich and tasty and not heavy in fat or calories--yum yum yum!

Sure, I'll try. I'm going slowly since I do not want to have all kinds of sag from losing weight so am aiming for a pound a week or less, with some good dancing around for exercise, and am also trying to get off the frozen vegetarian (high-sodium) fake meats. Anybody who is into healthy eating, especially vegetarians,…

I use the upstairs bathroom for that purpose even though I am downstairs most of the day--to get the exercise from going there and back. It works fine for me.

I stand in front of my computer instead of sitting. It is up on a box on my desk, and there are a couple of ltitle carpet squares in front of the desk for me to stand on. While I am online, which is much of the day, I can walk in place, dance around to tunes, and it adds up. I am watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer again and…

This is exactly my issue! Sometimes my health has made me feel inclined to just plain have some frozen fake meat or similar, and the high sodium is so so bad for me. One thing that has worked for me is no microwave in the house, period, and so if I want some Gardein fake meat or something, I have to cook it. I find that…

You've done great. I hope you can stay inspired and not focus so much on the parts you don't like. It may sound silly, but I figured out that when I used to be unhappy with this or that part--fat this, old that, saggy that--it made me feel and look worse and like the parts weren't cooperating with each other, and when I…

All this information has helped encourage me to go slowly since to me it does make sense that the skin is most likely to follow the slow weight loss, if you know what I mean--stomach goes right out, but if it goes back in slowly it seems most likely to all shrink together in healthy ways, as ooposed to there suddenly being…
