Hi Hanna! As a Mom who had 2 c-sections and breast fed, I agree with what the other ladies have said about not cutting calories at a time when your body is working to heal itself and making a good milk supply. Your nutrition is so important right now! I would try to see if you can add some healthier items to your diet,…

I have the Instant Pot Vortex Plus, which is a large capacity unit. I use it practically every day. It is great for cooking skinless boneless chicken, veggies like zucchini slices, squash, frozen foods, etc. without added oils.

After several days of really high temperatures in upper 90’s, it was a relief to have a high temp of 85F at home today!

Thinner Winners please!

I personally think it’s a good thing. Like a lot of people here, this isn’t my first time trying to lose weight. I seem to do much better when I’m losing slowly.

Thinner Winners please!

I would like to be with the thinner winners please.

My goals for the Summer Challenge: 1 - Follow my healthy eating plan which is essentially the plan I have followed so far this year. It’s basically eating health proteins, complex carbs, and healthy fats. I have been a member of MPC for several years and their Macro breakdown of 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% healthy fats…

Today was my Dad’s birthday. He died 15 years ago at the age of 83. I stopped by his grave today to have a little chat. As I was walking through the cemetery, there were lots of graves of young men who died in the Gulf War and Afghanistan. I thought about Dad’s service in the British Navy during WWII. Radar was just coming…

Add me to Thinner Winners again! Thanks!

I loved Spark People and used it on and off for many years! Thanks for the links!

Dill pickles of any type are disgusting. I keep trying them hoping I can overcome my aversion to them, but it’s not happening!

Hi, I’m 5’2”-ish (my D/L says 5”3 lol). Currently 163.8, started at 193.8 on 6/29/2021. I am losing at a much slower rate now than when I started. I am only doing walking for exercise right now, but plan to add in weights, rowing machine, air bike now that I feel in much better shape than at the start. One thing that I…

Hi! Looking forward to a new challenge! I was Bovinity on Spark, Bovinity55 now. Any team assignment will be fine!

My playlists are all over the past 50 years - a quick look at my latest favorite one includes Deep Purple, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Elton John, Robert Palmer, Crosby Stills Nash (and sometimes Young), Crowded House, Santana & Rob Thomas. I was 14 when Woodstock happened and that music has stuck with me ever since.

When I get this feeling or hunch that something is not right about a person. I guess it’s just intuition but it’s never failed me if I pay attention to it.

Hubby loves his pizza on Fri or Sat nite (he’s the tall skinny type, LOL) so we compromise by getting Dominoes thin crust with mushrooms, peppers and onions and add pepperoni on one half only for him. I make a salad to go with it. I like that Dominoes has their full nutritional info online.

If you don’t mind, I’ll add my posts here too. I’m 66, and in June of this year reached my highest weight ever of 193.8 pounds. I started using MFP to log my food and weight on 6/30/21. I have been walking for my exercise activity right now. I do have a some equipment such as a stationary bike, rower and weights that I…
