Hi Mary - most important this time around (I feel) is to keep your exercise sustainable and enjoyable, and balance off your diet accordingly. So returning to exactly what you did before may not be the best course of action - while it was extremely successful for quite a while (major kudos to you) it was followed by a…

Hi @NewGrl64, you have probably heard of the Atkins diet plan? That is quite low carb, with lots of books and resources readily available. If you reduce your carbs, you need to eat something, so protein & fats take up the slack. To reduce carbs for a plan like Atkins, you pretty much remove or drastically reduce all…

Ditto 😁 😇

Tim Horton's is more of a bakery/coffee shop type of restaurant - or at least that's how it started out back east. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, donuts & muffins. Then added bagels and tea biscuits (kind of like scones) and sandwiches on buns (like mini subs). Now fancy coffees too. They have wraps and salads now + soups…

Hi, I am also exploring fasting - starting with IF but hoping to graduate to ADF - want to clean up my food intake first! I'll send you a friend request 🙂

Are we talking Bella_Figura?? So worried about her sister (and missing her). @NovusDies stopped posting right around when I started, would've loved to "meet" him, have read & benefitted from many of his posts - including this one - thanks for the bump!
-
Great to hear from you Steve, as always, you are such an inspiration (whether you feel like it or not - you really are!). I am focusing on IF 14:10 and cleaning up my food choices for the month of January, really feeling good about making progress this year!
-
Yes, thanks for posting this - I had not seen it. I am not diabetic but I am quite sure I am becoming insulin resistant and certainly want to ward off this disease!
-
Sounds like a very sensible plan @itluvly!

Hey all, I think I'm older (62F) but otherwise fit right in! I have been on MFP since August 2021, had pretty good early results, but progress really slowed down in 2022 and started to slide back UP the scale modestly last few months, then UP with a flourish last 2 weeks of December (was on a cruise). 🙄 So my net loss for…

And blueberries are going on the list too!

These are great! Keep'em coming 😆 Is it bad that all I want to do now is raid my cupboards 🤣, but thanks for the pointers @nsk1951 & @Sinisterbarbie1 & @susandoll16, these sound like me 🥰 I must remember to reach for tinned fish more often! And I really need to embrace beans/lentils more; I have moved in that direction…

Hello all and welcome to the newbies! We don't usually have long debates on this thread, but we do share our thoughts, experiences, challenges and successes quite freely so please chime in anytime! There are some real success stories that post here often, and then there are some wannabes (like me!) that post regularly…

Agreed - sometimes I put tge neal Wow, I came here to add "agreed" to OP, and found out how to do! Thank you, thank you for taking the time to reply. I use the app on my phone all the time. 😊

Question: can you drink the bone broth during your fasting window?

@ridiculous59 - what a lovely winter scene and your dogs look so happy 😊 - good for you getting out today to kickstart your year. It's 2023! Goodbye 2022, we really won't miss you...

Welcome @aubsgg Fran, & @grandmajojo421 Marilyn! Glad you found our little corner of MFP. Marilyn - like you, I do not have a good track record at maintaining anything like a decent goal weight. And I also forget my new habits easily, no matter how long I had embraced them. Glad to know that's not just me. 🤣 Fran - I also…

@Pdc654 - fantastic result 👏 what a wonderful milestone to reach before year-end. You must find it so much easier to do most things, like on/off buses, up/down stairs, in/out of booths and chairs, negotiating crowded rooms, etc - all things this cruise has reminded me of! @Jthanmyfitnesspal , the above are all non-specific…

Hallo mon, checking in from the Caribbean! Travelling to Miami and then onto the ship was a long drawn out affair, but nothing much untoward happened - no delays, baggage made it, just a far way to go! And apparently got out of town just before a major Arctic blast and dump of snow, brrr. We had 2 sea days to settle onto…
-
Hey all - busy, busy time if year! Hope everyone is thriving, or at least coping 😘 I'm hanging in but holiday treats have made it onto the menu, so scale us on a slow creep up. But it's a very slow creep, so could be worse right? No eating with abandon!! And I have a contract with myself that if I eat it - I log it onto…

True - if charity casino nights count - too intimidated to go to a table in a real casino! But love me some slots 😘 TNP retired before age 65.

False - I am next week though..Caribbean, oh yeah 😎 The Next Person celebrates Hogmanay!
-
It absolutely is a learning experience! Or a relearning experience is some ways - I'm still me - the one that got obese while simultaneously jumping on & off the diet wagon - 'dealing' with me successfully is the ongoing struggle. I love reading your stories ❤️ - thank everyone of you for sharing 😊 For some, that steady…

Well, now I feel like crap 🙃. I started Aug 13/21 and lost fairly good at the beginning but tapered off by Spring and have been fighting over the same 8 lbs or so ever since. I am still down 40 lbs+ since I began, but currently weigh more than Pdc started at...and had none of the challenges she faced! I think her rate if…
-
Fantastic! You go girl 😉🥰 👏 👏
-
Here, here! Now that I'm retired I can destress and just be me and set my own priorities. Don't get me wrong - I still have to battle me, but mostly ownly me, so I have more energy for the fight! 🙃

Here in the Vancouver suburbs we usually get a small amount of snow that comes & goes quickly (often overnight and melts/turns to rain the next day). Typically a green Christmas but can get snow in January some years that is more substantial & sticks around. This year I believe it is forecast to be colder & snowier in…

Good point - my parents grew up in the depression followed by rationing & deprivation during WWII in Britain. My plate is one thing - my fridge is another! Love to have variety in, but have to work hard to figure out how to use it all up sometimes...oh the woes of plenty 😅 I remember along my dieting journey something that…

Got the outside decor done! 🎄 Next is switching out my kitchen mugs, tea towels, etc 🙂

@sandramarshall200 - what about eggs for brekkie on the weekend? Can cook them in so many ways!
