In your mega breakfast scramble I was SO HAPPY to see you added “sweet mini peppers, stems removed, but not de-seeded (why throw those nutrient powerhouses away!)” !!!!! I recently learned to keep the seeds since they are so nutritious. I’m still getting used to the extra texture but it’s worth training my palate for all…

In the photo the micro greens are peas, sunflowers, red cabbage, broccoli, and kale. I enjoyed a sunflower sprouts salad with a homemade pancake for breakfast this morning (I was sort of copying the greens salad First Watch serves alongside their breakfast dishes). I will be growing micro greens for the first time myself…

Hello I’m new to this group, and wanted to show the organic sprouts my friend grows and shares. These cost a fortune at the stores and farmers markets and I’m so grateful I get to have all this green yumminess in my smoothies, salads, omelettes and wraps. Plus they are so fresh I snack on them like potato chips sometimes.…

Had a doc appointment check up this week and my labs look great! It was good to hear that!

Beautiful Maine pics - I was lucky to visit there long ago and hope to go again . I joined the Green Freggies group. Looking forward to good tips and tricks!

A green smoothie is my 'go to' lately to get the healthy stuff in my tummy, and I plan my week to have it 4 times. It has lots of green everything, and even the green tops on the strawberries (who knew you can eat those!?!?), but I use very little fruit - often no fruit - because I need to keep carbs and fruit sugars…

Thanks! Feels like a million bucks to hit that milestone! 😊

Walked this morning before the rain hit and I'm 'water only' fasting for a lab work appointment later today. Usually I schedule lab appointments for first thing in the morning, but I was intentional in scheduling this one so I would fast longer, so it's a later appointment for a change. Afterward will be a very late lunch…

Week 18 = 194.4 lb. Down 33.4 total. Average glucose this week = 97 (thank you Mounjaro!) It's been a great week!

I'll walk with you! Let's make a plan to walk on the same day.

Wow I'm very impressed this forum has been going on for more than a year. Your journey from starting out to being experienced at fasting is motivational for me, and your consistent posting shows your commitment to your health goals. I have done IF and adapted to it after the first 3 times being very difficult. My max fast…

I was feeling the same way. I had lost weight and still had the same clothes that didn't seem to be loose on me. Then a couple days ago I went into a shop and tried on a coat that was 2 sizes smaller (it was the last one and it looked so small to me) and it fit perfectly!!! Maybe you'll see a difference with different…

I noticed hair thinning during my weight loss and talked to my doctor about it. My doctor runs a family practice, and she also specializes in women's health and weight loss, so she always has expert information on weight loss for me as well as helpful tips and products she recommends. She also doesn't prescribe…

I use the MFP food diary and track the carb percentage, trying to keep it under 30%, and on really good days under 20%. I also use carb percentage as a custom goal to run reports (I have to manually enter the percentage on the Check In, but it's worth that 15 seconds of my time since it helps me figure out what I need to…

Hi - I am also interested in mobility as I age. I want to have flexibility, endurance, and strength as I get older so I can do the things I enjoy. I recently found posts online of a 92 year old woman that started exercising in her 60's and she is spry and strong, and was featured on the Good Morning America show. I have…

I'm glad to see another person doing low carb. I started a low carb journey this week and I'm figuring it out. I really analyze my meals on the MFP food log, especially the carb column, and use the pie chart at the bottom. Today I saw if I had an entire avocado it would push me over my carb goal, so instead I had half an…

tamara - I love 5 Guys! Had the big ol' bacon cheeseburger with no bun (i think they call it 'wrapped in lettuce') and didn't stall my weight loss at all. My big challenge was saying no to their fresh fries. There will be days I can have the fries, and days I must say no. I almost never have soda or drinks with sweeteners,…

I am 55 and have a sedentary job in computers. I found the posts from all of you on this board to be inspiring. I too had success on IF, with some trial and error. I did a month of 42:30 (42 hours fasting followed by 30 hours of regular meals). The schedule was: Day 1 eat breakfast/lunch/dinner, then fast through Day 2,…
