Well, with all the info you provided, it's easy to make specific recommendations for you (not!). But here you go! Breakfast: poached eggs on mashed avocado over multigrain toast/crispbread Or Overnight oats with chia seeds, 1/2 cup milk Or Smoothie made with ice, Greek yogurt, protein powder, 1/2 banana, 1 cup berries,…

It is a beautiful warm day where I am, sitting out on my front porch contemplating my dead roses... FYI - my 10 day personal challenge is going great, I'm at my lowest weight in months and heading lower! My sleep schedule is much improved, my activity has increased, and I'm feeling more in control. I'm off to Bingo shortly…

AnnPT77- once I had an older car that due to primarily cosmetic damage was determined a 'total loss' by the insurance company. They paid me out my claim and allowed me to buy it back for 'salvage' price, then I went about getting it fixed myself with the $$ they had paid me. It was worth it to me as I had bought the car…

I eat what I want to be, well-rounded but correctly portioned😆

Hello peeps - happy Sunday! Having a very relaxing day myself, just sitting out on the front porch with my tea and surveying the havoc last winter imposed upon my.plants. One of my large rose bushes shows no signs of life, yet the one next to it is growing like gangbusters! the third rose over also may have died, but at…

"The mechanics of weight loss are really simple. I eat less than I burn. Managing myself is where I failed..." So true! Reading this just now helped me to get myself upstairs to go to bed when hunger was trying to convince me otherwise. I have hundreds of thousands of stored calories at my disposal, by all rights I should…

Absolutely you can have oil & vinegar, or dressing, but you have to measure carefully & account for the calories. There are some light dressings out there that are pretty good, and lemon juice or vinegar on their own are options too.

Nothing new to add, but my oh my does a big bowl of salad ever satisfy! And all winter, bowls of chili and soup.

Ah PAV, I see said the blind man as he peed on the roses!

Is soggy not used in the States?? Basically means wet, as in penetratively! Here on the 'wet' coast of Canada we understand soggy lol 😆

I am down like .5 today, week over week, so feeling good about making some real progress...soon... Is it Spring yet where you are…

Hello, hello. So hard maintaining when your goal is losing!! And yet maintaining is soooo much better than the alternative. Perhaps your body just needs a rest from deficits? I haven't read all the responses, mind you, and I do realize I am late to the party! I mostly just wanted to track you down, to say well done as you…

Thank you @MargaretYakoda for the tip - I have subscribed to their YouTube channel! Looking forward to touring both places I have visited in the past + places I have yet to see. I have a treadmill, but you could easily march in place also.

Love the Leslie Sansone videos, she is so incredibly encouraging! And the Fitbit prompt is a great tool. I could never walk in place while crafting, that is very coordinated of you. 👏
-
Happy Easter everyone! Enjoy the chocolate, in whatever measure you decide, just stick to your decision, ok? 😘

Do the Beatles 🎵 play in your head like they do in mine, since I turned 64?? It's my theme song for this year lol 😂

Welcome back, and welcome to the 60 & up thread! Especially when you have a significant amount of weight to lose, it's important to play the long game, and to stay in the game. You can do this!! But it may take longer than we wish it would...just work on establishing good habits, one at a time, to take you there as…
-
@MargaretYakoda, I feel tired just hearing about your day - thank goodness you didn't have to drive, and got so much accomplished. Glad to hear your back is much improved. 👍🏻 Love the pics!

I think that you still can eat a healthful diet, and don't have to go to an extreme deficit. By most accounts, the medications help with slowing digestion and helping with appetite and possibly cravings, but you still take them alongside watching what you eat and trying to be active. No different than now, just easier to…

Obesity definitely contributes to other diseases, but that doesn't mean Obesity itself can't be one too. And it's not just the AMA that recognized it as a a disease (not sure what you have against the AMA), it is also the world health organization as well as several other countries. I know where you are coming from though,…
-
. Agreed, I failed to see the "straw man" aspect of the reply quoted too and understand the definition.
-
I myself had not really understood that Obesity itself was considered a disease (not every person that is overweight necessarily has the disease). I think our whole society was skeptical? So we blew it off?? Oprah said during the special - I didn't get the memo, or words to that effect lol. It was 2013 when the AMA voted…
-
I wonder if we, as a community, believe that Obesity is a disease?
-
I believe the "blame" part in the title refers to people failing to lose weight & becoming obese (they have themselves to blame) and the "shame" part in the title refers to people being successful with the use of medication (taking the easy way out). The 'revolution' may be the change in thinking of obesity being a disease…
-
It's true, we do have good water out here 😜 Thanks pals 😊 but in all transparency the 👿 ⚖️ took me back up out of the new decade this morning...as it was through no fault of my own (was riding on a high yesterday, ate well and got in activity) I shall rise above its shenanigans and await tomorrow's pronouncement. Serenity…
-
Clearly you didn't watch. And it was referring to those with the disease of Obesity. I think we've all seen Oprah do as you suggest and yet still battle her weight with all the nutritional support and physical/lifestyle coaching that money can buy. I think we can all agree the conventional wisdom is simple, it's the…

Today the scale was my friend and took me back down into a new decade. I say new, but of course I passed it on the way up, at least twice... I am .2 shy of my 2023 starting weight...last year was a struggle! But I'm still standing - yeah, yeah, yeah 🎶
-
I personally think it is quite amusing to believe that all of our calorie calculations used to determine our goal, and all of our diary entries are so accurate, that 20 calories is make or break...eat the protein.
-
I discovered this, or very similar, using a dry salami, like Cervelat or Genoa, and nuking slices in the microwave! High in calories though, but gives you protein at least and so delish. I nuked little heaps of cheese too to make cheese chips. Ate them with celery or apple slices to kind of balance out my crunch fest lol.
