I posted a couple of things in the group yesterday. One was some advice for a newbie who asked for said advice. The one thing I wrote to him was to make certain he came daily to MFP. I expanded to say that every dang time I decided I could do this without taking the time for MFP I would immediately slack off and start…

What really helped me in the beginning was when I found Linda's Low Carb website. That's even before I found MFP. https://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/ What I like about Linda's low carb site is her recipes use common, everyday ingredients. She uses lots of ground beef and chicken but not things like swordfish filets. It's hard…

I do batch cooking for most things. By that I mean I'll do a day or two of nothing but cooking, then portion it out into single portions and freeze for future use. Since I live alone this really cuts down the time required for food prep. Also, I live in a rural area and need to drive 20 miles one way to get decent meats…

My first reaction was along the lines of does she not realize the answer to the first part of that sentence is right there in the last part of that sentence? How long can…

After a well earned weight loss to begin the month, it kind of stalled out the next week. But, drum roll, it's starting to melt away again. The horrible part is me recognizing the loss is due in part to having no whiskey since late August. The only thing that makes zero whiskey possible is not having it in the house. If…

I'm not doing perfect but I am dropping pounds. I'm contented.

I hit three and a half of my five goals yesterday. Totally acceptable.

Several months ago I left MFP because I left the internet almost completely. Now I have the unwanted pleasure of needing to lose 20 pounds that I had previously lost. I'm easing my way back into the internet and determined not to allow it to become my main existence as it had before. All that said, goals for Sept: 1: Log…
